Box Score
TEMPE, Ariz. - The No. 1 ASU Softball team put on a clinic Sunday afternoon as they collected 12 hits for nine runs in a five-inning 9-0 win over the Oregon Ducks to sweep their third Pac-10 series of the year. Katie Burkhart pitched the complete-game shutout, allowing only two hits and striking out nine, while Kaitlin Cochran hit a grand slam and Kristen Miller another two run home run to top off the outing. The win places ASU at 52-3 overall and 14-1 in conference action while dropping Oregon to 29-22 overall and 2-11 in the Pac-10.
The game started off slow with both teams remaining deadlocked until the third inning where the Ducks came unraveled as ASU's offense caught fire as they put together a two-out rally to knock eight consecutive hits for seven runs, with the highlight coming from Kaitlin Cochran who dug in with bases-loaded to hit a 3-1 pitch deep to center for a grand slam and her 11th home run of the season.
With Katie Burkhart pitching masterfully in the circle, the Sun Devils rallied up again in the fourth inning as a four-pitch walk to lead-off batter Lesley Rogers proved to be costly for the Ducks as Kristen Miller stepped in next to shotgun a long ball over left field for her 12th home run of the season, giving ASU the 9-0 advantage.
