ASHLAND – Southern Oregon got excellent outings from both of its starting pitchers but enough offense to reward only one of them in a Cascade Conference doubleheader split with British Columbia on Friday afternoon at Laurel Park.

Ayla Davies threw a four-hit complete game and catcher Kierstin Grotewiel drove in four runs as the top-ranked Raiders claimed Game 1, 6-1. Lexi Ramirez matched Davies with a four-hitter in Game 2, but Thunderbirds second baseman Tegan Harnett provided the only offense with a seventh-inning RBI single through the infield for a 1-0 win.

UBC starter Brynn Fortier went 6 1/3 innings before Carleen Murray kept a pair of Raiders stranded in scoring position with a two-out save, making the Thunderbirds 13-7 overall and 4-1 in the CCC. The Raiders went to 20-8 and 4-4.

Davies struck out seven and didn't issue a walk in her 10th victory, retiring 11 of the last 12 batters she faced and getting the benefit of some sharp outfield defense. After Ari Williams and Elysia Duarte started the second inning with back-to-back hits, Grotewiel brought them home with a single into center field that gave SOU a 2-0 lead.

Grotewiel came up with two on again in the fourth and cashed in with an opposite-field, bases-clearing double to the wall. Ramirez followed with a successful squeeze bunt and Kalea Thomas tacked on an RBI single in the sixth.

Fortier and Ramirez matched economical zeroes in a quick Game 2. Fortier needed just 62 pitches to record 19 outs, and Ramirez threw 89 in her complete game.

Jessica Heutink started UBC's seventh-inning rally with a single before Jillian Matsubara reached on her sacrifice bunt. With one out and a Heutink in scoring position, Harnett delivered.

Ramirez and Avery Coffin threatened with back-to-back RBI singles in the bottom of the seventh, but Murray shut down the rally for her third save.

The teams meet again for two more starting at 11 a.m. Saturday.
