EUGENE, Ore. – A historic 2018 season ended for the Drake University softball team Saturday in a 3-0 loss to the No. 1 seed, Oregon, in the NCAA Tournament at Jane Sanders Stadium.
Oregon (50-7) scored all three runs of its runs in the fifth inning. Drake (45-12) was led by Sarah Maddox (Henderson, Nev.) and Mandi Roemmich (West Des Moines, Iowa), who each had two hits. As a team, the Bulldogs finished with five hits, but stranded eight baserunners as they couldn't get the timely hit against the Ducks, who didn't allow a run in their three regional games.
