Walk-Off Homer Gives Ducks Opener
EUGENE — Terra McGowan's two-run home run in the seventh inning Friday gave No. 12 Oregon a 2-1, walk-off victory over No. 7 Arizona at Jane Sanders Stadium.
The Ducks (32-13, 10-9 Pac-12) didn't have a baserunner through six innings. But senior Haley Cruse led off the seventh with a single, and McGowan launched a one-out home run over the netting several dozen feet above the wall in left field to give Oregon the win.
"From the minute our team stepped on the field, I could feel them today," UO coach Melyssa Lombardi said. "It was taking a little longer than what we wanted on offense. But it was worth the wait."
