Scary moment for Carly McEachran and the Vikings when she was hit by a pitch on the side of the face and was forced to leave the game. She would be alright but would sit out the rest of the game and come in as a pinch hitter in game two. Jordan Goschie would replace McEachran loading the bases with one out.
 
Fine would then single up the middle scoring Krogh and Bliss for her second hit of the game. She would however, be thrown out at second trying to advance to second on a throw to the plate. Fine's second and third RBIs of the game brought the Vikings to within one run at 4-3.
 
Oregon came right back in the bottom of the fifth inning with six runs to extend its lead to 10-3 on three hits in the innings.
 
Raya Johnson started the game in the circle for the Vikings and had trouble with the strike zone in the fifth, walking five batters to go along with giving up the three hits.

The Vikings would add a run in the top of the sixth on a sacrifice fly off the bat of Alexa Morales scoring Karmen Holladay from third bringing the score to 10-4.
 
Game 2 – Oregon 1, Portland State 0

After the Vikings went 1-2-3 in the top of the first inning, Johnson got into trouble in the first after giving up a leadoff single to centerfield. The next batter singled to right. A double steal put runners on second and third with no outs.
 
Johnson induced a fly out to right for the first out before getting a ground out to second bringing in the runner from third for the only run of the game. After back-to-back walks, Oregon had the bases loaded with two outs when Johnson came up big and got the batter to strikeout swinging to end the threat in the first.
