Coming into its Regional opener against Oregon, Wichita State’s reputation was as a hard-hitting club that could put up a ton of runs. While this has certainly been the case, it was Oregon’s bats making the loudest noise in Fayetteville this evening, as the Ducks run-ruled the Shockers 10 - 2 in 5 innings.
Stevie Hansen started in the circle for Oregon and hit the first batter she faced. Wichita State was willing to help her work out any nervousness, though, as the runner on first was called out for leaving the base early and Hansen promptly struck out the next two she faced.
