Oregon tallied two runs early when Hailey Decker homered in the first inning for the second consecutive day but the Ducks were hardly done. Oregon posted six runs in the second inning, including a home run by Koral Costa deep to left.
Janie Takeda double in three runs then later scored on a single by Hailey Decker for her second run of the game. The run was the 194th of her career, breaking the UO record of 193 set by Courtney Ceo last season.
The six-run second inning was the second best frame for the Ducks as Oregon poured in nine runs on 11 hits in the fourth. Alyssa Gillespie hit a pinch-hit two-run bomb in the inning and Takeda went back-to-back with a solo shot.
Cheridan Hawkins was stellar once again, allowing just one run on three hits in four innings with seven strikeouts. She allowed a solo home run with two outs in the first inning but was unscathed going forward. Senior Karissa Hovinga pitched a scoreless fifth inning to end the game.
Takeda went 4-for-4 on the day with four runs scored and four RBIs. Decker also had four RBIs on Sunday as she hit .700 in the series with two homers and eight RBIs.
