You can watch the game in Ashland at Oaktree (and maybe the other usual places–Northwest Pizza, RedZone, etc.)
Note that Thursday’s game has been postponed until 7 a.m. PDT on Friday due to weather.

“Murderers’ Row” refers to the 1927 Yankees, who batted a combined .307–shy of the Tigers’ record .316 in 1921. League averages were much higher then (about .290–similar to the NAIA softball average–compared to about .260 in recent decades for MLB).
Flash forward almost one hundred years to this group. They are hitting a combined .369 as a team (and even higher for this starting crew of nine). That puts them at #2 in the NAIA among teams with over 1,500 plate appearances (and #4 if that number is lowered to 1,300). In the 10-team Cascade Conference they have five of the top 12 hitters and all nine are in the top 25.
We’ll find out later today what three teams will be coming to Medford next week to try to prevent the Raiders from moving on to the NAIA Softball World Series in Springfield, Missouri. Last year SOU went in as the #8-ranked team (and knocked off #15 St. Francis to move on). This year they will likely go in ranked #4 or #5 and face two teams lower in the rankings as well as an unranked team.

According to the coaches, SOU is the #4 team in the NAIA. The Raiders went into the World Series as the #6 seed last year before finishing #3. The higher the seed the “easier” the path to a national championship. That said, the top six seeds all have to win the same number of games to win it all. Seeds lower than the top six have to win an extra game.

The #3 SOU softball team hosts Northwest Christian this Friday and Saturday at University Field in Ashland. Both doubleheaders will start at 11 a.m. The Raiders swept #9 Oregon Tech last weekend, and Gabby Sandoval was the National Player of the Week. Not many home games remain, and you don’t want to miss checking out this team.
