Lady Owls Sweep Northwest to Open CCC Play

MEDFORD, Ore. – No. 10 Oregon Tech pounded out 24-runs and 27-hits on the way to a Cascade Conference opening day sweep 13-10 in the first game and 11-1 game two over Northwest University at U.S. Cellular Field Friday afternoon. The Owls improve to 12-6 on the year and 2-0 in CCC play with the Eagles falling to 0-2 in conference and 1-6 overall.
 
"We had a good day offensively and really showed a lot of heart coming back in game one from a 6-run deficit," said Head Coach Greg Stewart. "Ali pitched great in game two and we continued to swing the bat well. I am really pleased with how our team is competing."

The Owls nibbled at the lead with 2-runs in the bottom of the inning cutting the lead to 7-4.
 
Things didn't look good for OIT as Northwest tacked-on three more runs in the top of the 6th to build their lead to 10-4.
 
The Owls didn't blink, putting up nine-runs in the bottom of the 6th on 7-hits, 2-walks and 2-very costly NU errors to take the game 13-10 after Northwest was retired in order by Graham.
