CORVALLIS, Ore. - Portland State softball closed out its non-conference schedule Wednesday with a midweek doubleheader at Oregon State, falling 11-1 and 9-2 to the Beavers at Kelly Field.

The Vikings entered the day riding a three-game win streak against OSU but couldn't extend it, falling to 9-32 on the season, while the Beavers improved to 16-16 with the sweep.

Oregon State's bats proved dominant throughout the evening, totaling 22 hits to Portland State's six. Nichole Orozco and Sherreigh Nakoa-Chung accounted for four of those hits, each recording one in both games.

The Beavers jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the first inning of the opener—three of those runs coming on a two-out, bases-clearing double. They added another in the second to go up 5-0 before the Vikings responded in the fourth. Nakoa-Chung doubled to right center and later scored on Jade Henry's clutch two-out RBI single, trimming the deficit to 5-1. But OSU answered immediately, scoring six runs in the bottom half of the inning to trigger the run rule.

Game two began as a pitchers' duel between Grace Kimball and Oregon State's Ellie Garcia, who combined for 16 strikeouts—seven of them from Kimball. The Beavers struck first again, taking a 1-0 lead with two outs in the third before adding three more runs in the next inning. However, Nakoa-Chung responded for PSU in the fifth with a no-doubt, two-run homer to left—extending her hitting streak to seven games and cutting the deficit to 4-2.

With a two-run lead, Oregon State broke the game open in the sixth, adding five more runs before Garcia retired the Vikings in order in the seventh to seal a 9-2 victory.

With non-conference play officially behind them, the Vikings turn their focus to the final stretch of Big Sky action. They'll host Montana this weekend at Hillsboro Stadium, opening the three-game series with a Saturday doubleheader starting at 1 p.m.
