Southern Oregon Softball Named Adidas Team of the Week
LA GRANDE, Ore. – The Southern Oregon softball team has been named the Adidas Team of the Week for April 18-24, the Cascade College Conference announced.
The Raiders (34-14, 20-8, 15-5), finished the regular season with four straight wins over British Columbia and Northwest to win the West Division and earn hosting rights for the conference championship tournament.
Southern’s offense came alive in the first game against UBC, scoring 16 runs off of 21 hits to win 16-1 in game one. Game two saw a pitching battle before SOU broke free to win 3-0.
Northwest didn’t make it easy for the Raiders in game one, sending it to extra innings tied 2-2. Southern Oregon would eventually score in the eighth inning to win 4-2 before clinching the West regular season title with an 11-2 win in the final game of the weekend.
The Raiders will have a small break until May 6, when they host the conference tournament.
