ASHLAND – Southern Oregon made quick work of Eastern Oregon again Saturday afternoon, completing a four-game sweep of a Cascade Conference series and running its overall winning streak to nine games at University Field.

In the third and final CCC counter of the set, the top-ranked Raiders (19-3 overall, 6-0 CCC) sent 11 batters to the plate and scored eight runs in the fifth inning to finish off a 12-4 victory, ending it on Hannah Shimek's two-out RBI double to the fence. In the nonleague affair, the Raiders took their fourth run-rule shortened win of the weekend, 8-0 in five innings behind sophomore pitcher Jordyn Ragan's one-hitter.

Raider ace Gabby Sandoval upped her record to 11-0 with a complete game in the opener, though a pair of unearned runs left her down 3-1 in the third inning. SOU got three back in the fourth, where Hannah Wessel executed a successful squeeze bunt and Olivia Mackey knocked a two-run double.

It was 4-4 before the Raiders unloaded with seven hits in the fifth, at one point putting six straight batters on base. Lauren Quirke went 2-for-3 with three runs scored and an RBI and Mackey went 2-for-3 with three RBIs and a run. Page Leeper and Abbie Lewis both had two hits, and Tayler Walker hit a two-run single that made it 7-4 in the fifth.

Sandoval allowed four hits and two earned runs in total. She struck out five and walked one.

Ragan followed up with the first shutout of her young career and third consecutive victorious start. Her aggressive approach yielded four strikeouts and just one walk, as 49 of the 73 pitches she threw went for strikes.

Quirke's RBI triple and Katrina Winterburn's run-scoring single spotted her a 2-0 lead in the first. The Raiders tacked on three more in the second, and freshman Lindsey Stripling's bases-loaded, bases-clearing triple in a pinch-hit spot made it 8-0 in the third.

Winterburn had two of SOU's nine hits and Mackenzie Evangeleist scored twice. Mackey, Quirke, Avery Morehead-Hutsell and Allie Stines registered a run and an RBI apiece.

EOU dropped to 3-15 and 2-4 in CCC play.

The Raiders will be on the road next week, traveling to Providence (Mont.) for a four-game set.
