Ducks Score in Every Inning to Topple Titans
02/13/26 | Softball
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — No. 15 Oregon used an 11-hit attack to score in every inning and defeat Cal State Fullerton, 7-3, Friday at Santa Clara Softball Stadium.
The Ducks scored one run in the first, second, fourth, fifth and sixth innings and scored twice in the third inning.
Ayanna Shaw went 3-for-3, while Amari Harpr and Elon Butler were both 2-for-3. Butler hit her first home run as a Duck.
Elise Sokolsky threw 4.2 scoreless innings to earn her first win of the season. She allowed five hits, struck out five and did not walk any.
"I just thought that we were really able to come together as a team and did what we needed to do to get the job done," said Sokolsky.
This was Oregon's first game in the Cardinal Classic, which was originally scheduled to be played at Stanford, but due to permitting issues at the Cardinal's new stadium, the event has been moved to different venues in the South Bay.
REMAINING CARDINAL CLASSIC SCHEDULE
Sat., Feb. 14, 9::30 a.m. Oregon vs. Cal State Fullerton West Valley College (Saratoga, Calif.)
Sat., Feb. 14, 12 p.m. Oregon vs. Kentucky West Valley College (Saratoga, Calif.)
Sun., Feb. 15, 12 p.m. Oregon vs. Stanford West Valley College (Saratoga, Calif.)
How It Happened: The Ducks (3-3) scored a run in the bottom of the first inning for a lead they would never relinquish. Kaylynn Jones led off with a walk. Harper singled through the right side. Butler followed with an RBI double to right field.
Shaw helped Oregon manufacture a run in the second inning. She singled up the middle and stole second. Addison Amaral dropped down a sacrifice bunt that moved Shaw to third and she came home on Stefini Ma'ake's sacrifice fly.
Shaw again played a key role in Oregon's two-run third. Jones singled and came around to score on Harper's double. Two outs later with the bases loaded, Shaw bunted for a base hit that brought Harper home from third for a 4-0 lead.
In the fourth inning, Ma'ake and Katie Flannery singled and Jones walked to load the base. Pinch-runner Elyse Kresho then scored on Oregon's second sacrifice fly of the day, a fly ball to center by Harper.
Shaw's third hit of the day led to another run in the sixth. Pinch-hitter Braiesey Rosa led off with a walk. Shaw doubled down the right field line to chase Rosaa around to third. Amaral singled into center to score Rosa.
Fullerton (4-4) scored three times in the sixth to make it 6-3, but Oregon answered with Butler's solo home run to left field in the bottom of the inning.
Notable: Oregon and Fullerton will play again Saturday and then again next week at the Mary Nutter Collegiate Classic … Shaw and Jones are both hitting over .400 on the season … Shaw raised her average to .450 (9-of-20), while Jones is at .412 (7for-17),
Quotable
Pitcher Elise Sokolsky on the offense scoring in every inning
"It just kind of leaves no doubt. I know that my offense I going to continue to have my back so I can go out there and pitch free.
Up Next: Oregon moves to West Valley College in Saratoga, Calif., to play Fullerton again (9:30 a.m.) and Kentucky (12 p.m.).
The Ducks scored one run in the first, second, fourth, fifth and sixth innings and scored twice in the third inning.
Ayanna Shaw went 3-for-3, while Amari Harpr and Elon Butler were both 2-for-3. Butler hit her first home run as a Duck.
