SOU Softball – Alyssa Fielding

By virtue of having lost 7 of their last 8 games, the Raiders are faced with a battle for their playoff life instead of a battle for second place and a home game or two in the playoffs. They play two today against Northwest University and two more against second place Concordia tomorrow. Win them all and they will enter the playoffs as the #4 seed. As they have a mere one-game lead on Northwest Christian and a two-game lead on Corban, their playoff odds will fall with each loss. Hopefully they can snag two in Kirkland, Washington today.

She hit her first three home runs of the season, a grand slam and two three-run shots, leading the Raiders to four wins during the week. She went 7-for-16 and reached base in 13 of 23 plate appearances.

The Raiders have a road doubleheader tomorrow before returning to Ashland this weekend. They currently sit in third place in the conference with almost half of the conference games still to come.

With a little over half the season still remaining, Oregon Tech is undefeated in conference play with a two game lead over Concordia and four game lead over conference favorite, College of Idaho. Play resumes this weekend with SOU and OIT travelling to Concordia (and Northwest). Things will be clearer (or not) after those games.
