Pennsylvania Duck Author Moderator No. 20 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Pac-12 Softball Weekly Rundown - April 26, 2023 A Top 25 matchup in Salt Lake City highlights this weekend's schedule, as Pac-12 softball continues down the stretch of its regular season. No. 2 UCLA is at No. 23 Utah for a trio of games broadcast on Pac-12 Networks and a chance to clinch the Pac-12 regular-season title outright. The Bruins, which have won 17 games in a row, have already secured a share of the championship with a sweep of Arizona State last weekend. UCLA needs just one victory to be outright champions and wrap up the No. 1 seed in the upcoming Pac-12 Softball Tournament. The Utes are the only team that has a chance to catch UCLA. Utah would need to sweep the Bruins this weekend and the Ducks next weekend to earn a share of the regular-season championship. Doing so would give the Utes the tiebreaker over the Bruins and the top seed at the Pac-12 Tournament. In addition to UCLA at Utah, No. 14 Oregon, which has won nine straight, will look to continue its solid stretch at California, Arizona hosts Oregon State looking to snap a 13-game Conference losing, and Arizona State hosts Stanford in an attempt to stop its seven-game Pac-12 skid.

Pennsylvania Duck Author Moderator No. 29 Share Posted June 18, 2023 NCAA softball rules committee proposes sweeping changes, including relaxing illegal pitch rules The inconsistency around enforcement of illegal pitches has been the bane of NCAA softball fans, coaches, and players for years. The NCAA Softball Rules Committee has recommended addressing that by making fewer pitches eligible for an illegal pitch ruling. It was one of several changes suggested on Friday that could go into effect next season. The proposed rules would reduce the time allowed between pitches from 25 seconds to 20 seconds after the pitcher receives the ball. In addition, the batter must be ready to hit within 10 seconds of the pitcher receiving the ball. Teams can also choose to put an action clock on the field, but they are not required to do so. In addition to the pitching changes, the rules committee has suggested changes to the obstruction rule, video replay, and park dimensions, among other things.

Pennsylvania Duck Author Moderator No. 30 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Oregon Softball 2024 - Pitching Prognostication Stability in Circle Could Signal Next Step A year ago, Oregon’s pitching staff was in flux. The Ducks were coming off a season in which their likely #1 pitcher - Brooke Yanez - sat out the entire season and ultimately transferred to UCLA, and the team had relied on a Freshman - Stevie Hansen - to take up the slack. Makenna Kliethermes left in the portal and Jordan Dail graduated. Hansen, Raegen Breedlove and Allison Benning were the returners. Showing two can play the portal game, Oregon Coach Melyssa Lombardi reached out and brought UNC-Greensboro Ace Morgan Scott to Eugene. Coming into the 2024 season, Oregon’s pitching watchword is “stability.” Although a “senior” this past season (a designation that doesn’t mean what it used to, primarily due to the “free” Covid year all college athletes received for 2020), Scott is expected to return along with Hansen and Breedlove. Benning has transferred to North Florida. Those three players are likely to get most of the work in the circle next year barring a surprise portal addition or subtraction.

Pennsylvania Duck Author Moderator No. 43 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Oregon softball finishes fall season undefeated with 28-10 victory over Southern Oregon in 12 innings It was all Oregon once again as the Ducks finished their fall campaign with an emphatic 28-10 victory over the Western Oregon Raiders in 12 innings. Oregon’s pitching was solid once again. Taylour Spencer started the game for the Ducks as Spencer, Raegan Breedlove, Elise Sokolsky, and Stevie Hansen each threw three innings for Oregon. Striking out four, Sokolsky– who pitched sparingly in 2023 – was particularly effective on Sunday for Oregon. “It was nice just to see her go,” head coach Melyssa Lombardi said after the game. “You could see how much her ball moves, I was pumped to get her three innings today.” Western Oregon’s total runs were deceptive. The Raiders scored their first run of the game on a second inning single, the rest of the Raiders’ runs would come during innings in which a runner began the inning on base in order to give the hitting team a chance to practice situational hitting. Oregon’s pitchers allowed just two earned runs on the day and just five throughout the fall. “Big picture, I thought we had a really really good fall,” Lombardi said. “You can see we’ve got a lot of different weapons, you could see we are new in some spots and whatnot. But just overall, I’m pleased with what we did in the fall.” To access more details in the Daily Emerald, click here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
