Hudson, Richards Lead Ducks Past Shockers
05/21/05 | Softball
NORMAN, Okla. - Senior catcher Ashley Richards hit a two-out, two-RBI double in the top of the eighth inning that scored Lovena Chaput and Beth Boskovich to lead the Ducks to a 3-2 win over Wichita State and advance Oregon to another must-win game vs. Louisiana-Lafayette.
Junior pitcher Amy Harris (18-15) had five strikeouts in the game to become Oregon's all-time leader with 476 career strikeouts. Harris now has 201 strikeouts this season, one shy of tying the single-season record set by Ani Nyhus last season.
The Ducks took the first lead of the game after sophomore Kayleen Hudson hit a solo home run to right field in the top of the fourth inning. 
Wichita State loaded the bases in the bottom of the inning, but second baseman Brooke Usher hit back to Oregon third baseman Beth Boskovich, who got the force at third and then threw home to complete the double play and prevent the Shockers from scoring the tying run.
Wichita State did eventually tie the game after an RBI double down the right field line by shortstop Britnee Barnett that scored Kyra Whitt, who was running for first baseman Lisa Jones.
Richards' eighth double of the season not only drove in the go-ahead runs for the Ducks, but also moved her to a tie for 10th all-time with 26 career doubles.
