Savannah Rush scored the lone NU run today.
Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 KIRKLAND, Wash. – No. 19 ranked Oregon Tech used three home runs to help register an 11-1, 5 inning win in game one and used timely hitting and pitching for a 5-0 shutout in the second game to seep Northwest University today at Everest Park.

Northwest U managed one run in the 4th inning when Ricki Tacdol came up with a two out single to right field scoring Savannah Rush who had doubled earlier.

Two singles by Ali Graham and Tre Sullivan in the 4th inning set the stage for a double by Cassidy Hoglund driving in a run. The Owls got another run on an Eagle error to lead 2-0 after four innings.
 
Back-to-back singles to begin the 5th inning put two OIT runners on and Tara Moates came up with a double down the right field line driving in two runs for a 4-0 lead. One more run would score on another NU error putting the No. 19 Owls up 5-0. Northwest U would be unable to score as Graham would limit the NU batters to three hits and allow only three base runners.
 
Northwest U 11-27, 6-20 CCC) was led by Darian Godfrey and Courtney Heard who both went 1 for 2 from the plate. Hannah Yelas would go the distance for the Eagles giving up the 5 runs on 8 hits. She struck out three and did not issue a base on balls.
