Is Morgan Scott Oregon Softball’s New Ace? With the exodus of several pitchers at the end of the 2022 season, it was imperative that coach Melyssa Lombardi find a pitcher or pitchers that could take off the excessive pitching load that Stevie Hansen was forced to endure last year. That was a huge number of pitches for any pitcher to have to throw, and it doesn’t matter how talented one is at the circle; you’re going to falter at some point, and just have to suck it up because there is no one to relieve you. There were many stages in last year where the Ducks had to relieve Hansen, and there were no pitchers consistently up to the task. Scotty came from the University of North Carolina Greensboro, had a reputation for throwing strikes, and was a two-time Southern Conference Player of the Year. The background looked good, but how would Scott perform in an elite softball conference like the Pac-12? Is Morgan Scott Oregon Softball’s New Ace?

The Ducks played spectacular defense all day, while the Beavers committed four errors in the opening game, a 10-4 Oregon win before a standing-room-only crowd at Kelly Field.

It was UO’s first loss outside the RPI top 50 this season. “We need to be able to execute; we didn’t execute today,” Lombardi said. “I think we’re much better than what we showed. I thought OSU played a tough game, they came out ready to play and they did what they needed to do to get it done. I think for us, we didn’t do enough. “Every game you’ve got to go out and play and be ready to play and win. Anybody in this league can beat anybody on any given day.
