Fortunately for the Raiders, I didn’t know what I was talking about yesterday when I said they’d need help to catch the Owls. Details here.

Tyler Burke slides in under the tag. She is 5-5 in steals this year.

SOU nearly took two more from OIT today. Instead, they settled for a split in Klamath Falls. These teams couldn’t be any more competitive. They have now played four times, going extra innings twice, and three of the four games have been settled by one run. The other? SOU won by just two runs.

Unfortunately for the 28-12 Raiders, they are going to need some help from other teams to catch the Owls as SOU is currently a game back in the standings, and they have no more regular season games against Oregon Tech.

Sydney White strikes out a batter during her 135-pitch shutout

Yesterday SOU beat first place OIT twice for the first time in five years. Details here.

Today’s photo is a composite of two photos. If you look closely you’ll see that the right side-infielders are cheering. That’s because by the time I got to them the batter had already swung and missed.
