The No. 2 Oregon softball team fell to the No. 5 Arizona State on Friday, 5-3, for their second consecutive loss after winning six straight.

The Sun Devils were the first to score with a solo home run from shortstop Cheyenne Coyle in the first inning.

The Ducks fought back in the second inning starting with a double from first basewoman Kailee Cuico. Then, Alexa Peterson and Samantha Pappas each had a base hit, bringing Cuico home. Later in the inning, Pappas also rounded to home plate after she advanced on a sacrifice bunt and an infield out.

Oregon earned another run in the fourth after Peterson hit a double and advanced on fielder’s choice; a sacrifice fly by Koral Costa brought in Peterson and gave the Ducks their final run of the game.

Turning Point — Arizona State went on an offensive frenzy in the bottom of the fourth inning, scoring four runs and putting the game out of reach.

Oregon was not able to earn any runs the rest of the game, which secured the series win for Arizona State.

However, both teams will face off Saturday for the last game, with the first pitch set for 5 p.m. That game will conclude the regular season for Oregon. The selection show for the Women’s College World Series will air Sun., May 12, at 7 p.m. PST on ESPNU.
