Hawkins, a fellow first team All-America choice of Waldrup’s, was untouchable following the first inning. Hawkins, a sophomore, retired 16 consecutive batters before Florida State put a runner on with two outs in the sixth following an Oregon error. Hawkins (34-4) picked up the win and her 12th shutout of the season after allowing no runs on one hit with six strikeouts. With Hawkins in a dominating groove, the Oregon offense played small ball to slowly build a lead. The Ducks had 10 hits off Waldrup, tied for the most the FSU pitcher has allowed in her career. The Seminoles made a pitching change in the sixth inning after a leadoff bunt single by Sammie Puentes. Oregon jumped out to an early 1-0 lead in the first inning. Alyssa Gillespie and Janie Takeda hit back-to-back singles and Gillespie scored on a Janelle Lindvall groundout. The Ducks manufactured another run in the second inning. Alexa Peterson started the second with a single and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Karine Shaver. That brought up freshman Nikki Udria, who came through with a big two-out single to score Peterson from second. Oregon came through with another two-out run, this time in the fifth, to make it 3-0. With the bases clear, Koral Costa ripped a double down the left field line. Peterson followed with a double to nearly the same place, scoring Costa from second.
