Ducks Struggle; Thompson to Start

Lady Ducks in Danger of Elimination

The Oregon Ducks Softball team made it more difficult for them to garner a championship title by dropping yesterday’s game 3-1 to their pac 12 rivals, Washington.  The Ducks had many opportunities to bury the Huskies…leaving runners on base in the second, third, fifth, sixth, and seventh innings.  The Ducks still have a shot at the women’s College World Series best of 3 final, but they will have to win twice Saturday and twice more Sunday.   The Ducks will meet Baylor on Saturday.
