Oregon Ducks Edge Out Florida State in Thrilling Jane Sanders Classic Showdown
Eugene, OR — In a nail-biting conclusion to the Jane Sanders Classic, No. 11 Oregon secured a narrow 1-0 victory over No. 8 Florida State on Sunday, marking their second consecutive win against the Seminoles in a weekend filled with tension and excitement. The game mirrored Friday’s 2-0 win, highlighting the competitive spirit of both teams.
The solitary run of the match came in the pivotal fifth inning, thanks to sophomore catcher Braiesey Rosa. After Kedre Luschar’s speedy bunt earned her a spot on first, she advanced to third following a single from Dezianna Patmon. Rosa then stepped up to deliver the game-winning RBI with a clutch single to left field, further establishing her reputation as a key player despite being a backup.
Pitching was also instrumental in Oregon’s victory, with redshirt junior Eliise Sokolsky throwing a complete game shutout. Sokolsky held Florida State to just two hits while demonstrating remarkable control with five strikeouts and no walks. Her performance was crucial in keeping the Seminoles at bay throughout the contest.
While Florida State’s defense demonstrated solid performance, the game was ultimately defined by Oregon’s strategic play in a single inning. The Ducks faced some challenges on the basepaths, leading to missed opportunities for additional scoring.
As the Jane Sanders Classic wraps up, Oregon will next face Abilene Christian at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, setting the stage for another exciting matchup. Both teams showcased their potential this weekend, hinting at future encounters as the season progresses.
