04/23/06 | Softball
LOS ANGELES, Calif. ? The top-ranked UCLA softball team scored five runs in the bottom of the second inning to defeat Oregon 5-2 before 1,091 fans at Easton Stadium in Los Angeles, Calif., Sunday afternoon. With the win, the Bruins improve to 36-4 overall, 8-2 Pacific-10 Conference while Oregon falls to 19-16, 1-6.
The Ducks had the first lead of the game as freshman Sari-Jane Jenkins hit a one-single in the first inning and later stole second. She then advanced to third on a wild pitch by UCLA starter Anjelica Selden (21-3) and eventually scored on an RBI by senior Breanne Sabol to put the Ducks ahead 1-0.
The Bruins tied it 1-1 with a solo home run by Jodie Legaspi to lead off the bottom of the second inning and took a 5-1 lead later in the inning after a two-RBI single by Krista Colburn follwed by an RBI by Caitlin Benyi.
Oregon pulled within 5-2 on an RBI single by Lovena Chaput in the sixth inning that scored Suzie Barnes.
The Ducks return to Oregon next week, traveling to Corvallis to face the Beavers in a doubleheader Wednesday at 2 p.m.
