A total of seven pitchers gave up seven home runs, but Arizona softball left fewer runners on base on the way to an 11-8 victory over Oregon. It was the first opening-game win in a Pac-12 series for the Wildcats this season. It also started their first winning streak of the Pac-12 season after defeating Oregon State last Sunday.
“It feels best to win the first game of the series and make a statement with our bats,” said head coach Caitlin Lowe. “I think that was huge.”
It hasn’t come easily for Arizona, which improved to 3-10 in Pac-12 play with the win.
