Oregon softball blasts 13 extra-base hits in run-rule wins over Boise State, Portland State
Updated Mar 07, 2021;
Melyssa Lombardi wanted to see more consistency from Oregon’s hitters after they were limited in a doubleheader sweep on Saturday.
The No. 6 Ducks responded with 26 hits, 13 for extra bases including six home runs, and scored in seven of 10 innings in a 10-2 win over Boise State in six innings and 16-0 win over Portland State in five innings on Sunday at Jane Sanders Stadium.
“I really like that the team accepted our challenge and they responded, that was good stuff,” Lombardi said. “Today you got to see what our lineup could look like top to bottom, one through nine, and even coming off the bench. I really love how they responded.”

Fresno State softball struggles against Oregon pitching

At the beginning of the season, Fresno State softball head coach Linda Garza embraced what she called “the Bulldog way.”
“We’re not scared of anybody… I just think it’s the Bulldog way: anyone, anytime, anyplace.” Garza said.
And while the Bulldogs may be ready, they weren’t able to deliver against teams like No. 1 UCLA and Loyola Marymount University.
And when No. 10 Oregon (6-0) came into town, Fresno State (2-3) struggled to figure out Ducks’ starting pitcher Brooke Yanez in Saturday night’s 10-2 loss.
Brito went 3 for 4 with a solo home run and RBI triple and Yanez allowed two runs on two hits and two walks in a complete game as the No. 10 Ducks topped host Fresno State 10-2 on Saturday.
