GAME NOTES (CONT.) SANDERS IN SEATTLE DJ Sanders went yard twice in helping the Ducks sweep Washington in Seattle on April In the Friday series opener, the teams were tied 2-2 going into extra innings. After the Ducks scraped across a run to make it 3-2 in the ninth, Sanders came to the plate with the bases loaded and launched her second extra innings grand slam of the year over the fence in center. Oregon won the opener, 7-2. In the series finale on Sunday, Sanders hit a two-run homer as part of the Ducks five-run third inning. UO went on to win that game, 5-3, and sweep the series. KLEIST ONE-HITS NO. 2 OKLAHOMA Junior Megan Kleist fired a one-hit shutout on April 19 when the then-no. 4 ranked Ducks defeated No. 2 Oklahoma, 5-0. Kleist went seven innings with five strikeouts and just one walk. She actually faced the minimum as a double play and a caught stealing wiped away the two baserunners. Oklahoma entered the game with the top-scoring offense in the NCAA, averaging 7.22 runs per game. The Ducks snapped Oklahoma s 30-game winning streak. SVEKIS SMASHES ARIZONA Senior Gwen Svekis had a huge weekend in Oregon s three-game series against Arizona. Svekis hit.750 against the Wildcats with three doubles, two homers and seven RBIs. She was named Pac-12 player of the week for her efforts. ELISH TOSSES FIRST CAREER PERFECT GAME Miranda Elish threw her first career perfect game on April 3 against Portland State. In a 3-0 win, Elish struck out a career-high 16 batters in seven innings. The other five outs were all recorded via groundout, as not a single ball reached the outfield in Elish s dominating performance. It was also the first career no-hitter for Elish and the first seven-inning perfect game in Oregon history. DJ HAS A GRAND TIME AT OREGON STATE With the series tied 1-1 at rival Oregon State, DJ Sanders introduced herself to the Civil War series in a big way with a grand slam in the eighth inning to break a 1-1 tie. The Ducks would go on to win the game, 5-1, and the series, 2-1. RHODES WALKS OFF VS. NO. 3 UCLA Sophomore center fielder Shannon Rhodes was the hero in Oregon s 3-0 win over No. 3 UCLA on March 19. In a pitcher s duel that was scoreless going into the bottom of the seventh, Rhodes blasted a walkoff three-run homer to center to give the Ducks a 3-0 win in the game and a 2-1 series win. TWO NO-HITTERS THIS YEAR FOR KLEIST Megan Kleist has two no-hitters this season, coming in back-to-back games. Kleist tossed her second career no-hitter but picked up the loss in a 2-1 defeat at No. 13 Florida State (March 4), suffering some tough luck after two unearned runs scored in the fourth inning on a HBP, error, fielder s choice RBI, walk and sacrifice fly. Kleist issued just the one walk with seven strikeouts. The Appleton, Wisc., native followed that outing with seven hitless innings, 12 strikeouts and no walks in a 5-0 win over Montana for her second straight no-no, with only an error preventing her from a perfect game. Kleist now owns three of the 30 no-hitters in UO history.

The Ducks won a fourth straight Pac-12 title in 2016 and White was rewarded with his third Pac-12 coach of the year honor. White guided the Ducks to an record in Pac-12 play during the four-year winning streak, losing just two league series. Under the former pitcher s guidance, lefty Cheridan Hawkins was named Pac-12 pitcher of the year in 2016, her third straight year taking home the honor. No other pitcher in the long and storied history of the Pac-12 had won the award more than twice. In 2016 the Ducks swept rival Washington for a second straight season and shut out Arizona over a three-game series for the first time in the Wildcats history. Oregon hit a NCAA-best.353 in 2016 and also led the Pac-12 with a 2.14 team ERA. White guided Oregon to its third straight Pac-12 title in 2015 and a program-record 21 conference victories. The Ducks remained a perfect 18-0 in regional games and advanced to their sixth straight Super Regional under White. Oregon made its third Women s College World Series appearance in the last four years. The Ducks visited their third WCWS under White in The Ducks won their third straight Pac-12 title after going 21-3 in league play and 51-8 overall. Oregon closed out old Howe Field with a super regional sweep of NC State before moving on to Oklahoma City for the third time in four seasons. Oregon had a magical run in 2014, as White guided the Ducks to their most successful season in program history with a record and Pac-12 mark. Oregon won a program-record 56 games in 2014 while advancing to the WCWS for the third time in program history. The Ducks were the No. 1 team in the nation for the first time in program history as well and held on to the No. 1 ranking in both the NFCA poll and USA Softball poll for the final seven weeks of the regular season. Oregon ended the year ranked No. 3 in both polls after advancing to the semifinals of the WCWS. White was named Pac-12 Coach of the Year for the second straight season after leading the Ducks to their second consecutive Pac-12 title. Oregon did not lose a Pac-12 series in 2014, with a draw against then No. 3 Arizona State the closest the Ducks came to defeat. Oregon swept Stanford, Oregon State and California but the biggest in 2014 was the program s first ever sweep of Washington, which ranked No. 5 at the time. The Ducks didn t sweep No. 1 ranked UCLA, but taking 2-of-3 from the Bruins pushed the to No. 1 in the nation for the first time ever. Oregon s record in Pac-12 play was the best in program history as the Ducks outscored league opponents in 24 games. Oregon s offense clicked all season long, but most notably against Oregon State and California. The Ducks scored 11 runs in the first inning against the Beavers in an 18-0 win, just one run off the biggest scoring margin in UO singlegame history. Later in the week, White and the Ducks posted 15 runs in the fourth inning against Cal, the most in an inning in UO history, the third most in Pac-12 history and the 10th most in NCAA history. Individually, White saw senior third baseman Courtney Ceo lead the nation in batting average at.493 in 2014 as she also became the all-time UO career leader in hits (288) and runs scored (193). In 2013, the Pac-12 Coach of the Year led Oregon to its first-ever Pac-12 title and its best rankings in both coaches polls (No. 3) in the regular season s final edition. UO advanced to its fourth straight Super Regional appearance (and fourth ever), and were 16-0 at home at Howe Field during the regular season. Teamwise, Oregon led Pac-12 rankings in stolen bases (82), lowest ERA (1.64), lowest opponent batting average (.192), batters struck out (456), fewest hits allowed (283) and fewest walks allowed (96). Fueled by one of the nation s most powerful teams, the squad combined for 80 homers nine better than the previous school record and also set school season bests for batting (.329), runs (366) and slugging (.526). In 2012, UO firmly convinced the nation of its prowess as a elite program with its second-ever Women s College World Series trip. Oregon racked up its then-second-most wins ever (45). The Ducks ranked top-25 all season long after being tabbed No. 14 in both preseason editions. In the postseason, UO opened regional play with a 3-0 mark for the third straight year (and successfully hosted its first ever postseason tilts in Eugene). A week later, the Ducks logged their first-ever NCAA Super Regional victories en route to a 2-1 mark and upset at No. 6 seed Texas. In its first trip in 24 years to the ASA Hall of Fame Stadium in Oklahoma City, No. 11 seed Oregon beat No. 5 seed Tennessee in the WCWS, while its other hard-fought losses came to No. 1 and No. 3 seeds California and Arizona State. In 2011, the Ducks polished off another amazing season with its second straight year-ending No. 14 national ranking. Earlier in the campaign, UO made its second straight (and ever) Super Regional trip after it scored its then-best Pac-12 Conference finish and record (third-tie, 11-10). In 2010, an ESPN national audience watched the upstart Ducks claim their first-ever Super Regional bid to cap an amazing campaign. The Ducks shocked the NCAA Tournament s eighth seed, Georgia Tech, with 11-2 and 4-3 eight-inning regional wins on the Yellow Jackets own turf to advance to Columbia, Mo., to play seventh-seeded Missouri in Supers. Before his current Duck tenure, Oregon fans also fondly remember his two-season stint as an assistant coach in 2003 and 2004 when his pitchers and catchers helped Oregon advance to an NCAA regional final in both campaigns. Before his collegiate coaching career, White was already wellknown in softball circles as an International Softball Congress (ISC) Hall of Fame pitcher and 30-year coaching veteran. As a player, White was a top pitcher on U.S. National teams before he retired in A New Zealand native, he became a U.S. citizen in 1994 and helped guide the USA to a bronze medal in the 2000 World Championships when he went 2-0 with a 0.89 ERA and 19 strikeouts. In 1999, the U.S. won the silver medal at the Pan Am Games, and he was 3-2 with a 0.68 ERA and 35 strikeouts. Altogether, he has helped teams claim two gold medals, three silver medals and one bronze in his four trips with New Zealand and two with the United States. The Wellington, New Zealand native (11/19/61) earned his bachelor of arts degree in marketing and management from Mount Mercy College (Cedar Rapids, Iowa) in He is married to the former Lisa Revers, and the couple have three daughters; Nyree (1992), Kenzie (1995) and Sidney (1997) Oregon Softball Game Notes Four WCWS Appearances in the Last Six Seasons
