Oregon softball has played the Stanford Cardinal four times this season, and all of the games have been closely contest, with one game having a two-run margin and the other three having been won by one run. Last night’s game was also won by one run, with the Stanford Cardinal getting the walk-off run in the seventh inning to advance in the Pac-12 Tournament, 3-4.
Truth be told, the game was not so much won by Stanford as it was lost by Oregon. The Ducks made a couple of crucial errors in this loss. The first was keeping pitcher Morgan Scott in for the entire game when she should have been relieved in the seventh inning, and the second was an uncharacteristic fielding error that ended the game, and the Ducks’ regular season.
