Craig, White turn in shutdown efforts on Day 1 of Cup

HAPPY VALLEY, Ore. – Southern Oregon pitchers Brianne Craig (Rialto, Calif./Etiwanda) and Sydney White (Clovis, Calif./Clovis West) took different paths through their complete games but produced similar results in two Raider wins Friday at the Northwest Cup.

In SOU's opener, a 4-1 win against Great Falls (Mont.), Craig danced around 13 baserunners (she allowed 11 hits and walked two) but kept the Argos off the board until the seventh inning. White then spun a one-hit shutout in SOU's 5-0 win against British Columbia, striking out five with two walks.

Raider hurlers have yielded one earned run in 28 innings this week. The Raiders are 14-4 with games tomorrow at 9 a.m. against Simpson (Calif.) and 1 p.m. against Lewis & Clark.

SOU's lineup was productive as well, getting four hits and four RBIs from Megan Scherer (Oakland, Calif./Bishop O'Dowd) and Alexa Gonzalez (Menifee, Calif./Heritage)'s second home run of the season. The Raiders totaled 10 hits in the first win and eight in the second.

Craig worked with runners on in every inning against the Argos (1-1) but didn't crack until Kirstie Thomas singled in Mindy Larson in the seventh. Scherer singled home Sulie Augustine (Portland, Ore./Central Catholic) in SOU's two-run first inning and she doubled in Augustine in the third. 

Augustine went 2-for-2 with two free passes, Kelsey Randall (Concord, Calif./Concord) had a hit and two runs, and both stole a two bases. Cortney Nolan (Twin Falls, Idaho/Twin Falls) had a pair of singles.

In the nightcap, Gonzalez gave the Raiders a lead with her solo blast in the fourth. During a four-run fifth inning, Augustine's single resulted in a throwing error that scored Gonzalez and Randall, Scherer's fielder's choice brought home one more, and Megan Winton (Davis, Calif./Davis Senior)'s double provided the final score.

Gonzalez went 3-for-3 with two steals in the game and Winton was 2-for-3.

White retired the final 15 hitters she faced. It was the fifth shutout of her career but her first one-hitter. She improved to 3-3 and Craig went to 5-0.

British Columbia dropped to 3-14, including 1-3 against SOU.
