ASHLAND, Ore. -  McKenna Armantrout drove in the game winning run in the bottom of the seventh scoring Jacey Conklin with the walk-off run as No.10 Oregon Tech (39-13) downed College of Idaho (36-14) 3-2 in game four of the 2019 Cascade Collegiate Conference Softball Tournament presented by U.S. Bank at University Field.

I am really proud of how these ladies battle to the finish."
