BEAVER SOFTBALL

7 STRAIGHT NCAA APPEARANCES
OSU SOFTBALL COMPLEX HIGHLIGHTS
The Opener
Oregon State opened the OSU Softball Complex in fine fashion as the Beavers knocked off top-ranked UCLA,
2-1 on April 20, 2001. The win marked just the fifth ever for Oregon State against the Bruins. OSU was one of just
four teams to beat UCLA during the season as the Bruins ended the year with a 62-6 record and finished as
Women's College World Series runner-up.
The Hit (1)
With the score knotted 3-3 with two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning against in-state rival University of
Oregon on April 24, 2001, OSU sophomore Steph Adams sent a full-count pitch over the left field wall to give the
Beavers a dramatic 4-3 victory and season sweep of the Ducks.
The Hit (2)
Oregon State rallied from a 2-0 deficit against eventual World Series Champion, University of California,
behind a big hit from junior outfielder Steph Adams. Adams blasted a sixth inning 3-run homer over the left field
fence to give the Beavers a 3-2 victory against the No. 6 Bears on April 5, 2002.
The Pitch (1)
Oregon State hurler Crystal Draper became the first pitcher in OSU history to throw three no-hitters in her career
when she blanked Portland State University on May 2, 2001. The Beavers needed just six innings to record the 8-
0 victory against the Vikings.

The Pitch (2)
Oregon State junior hurler Monica Hoffman became the first pitcher in OSU history to throw four no-hitters in her
career when she blanked Portland State University on April 22, 2003. Similar to Crystal Draper's no-no against the Viks in 2001, the Beavers needed just six innings to record
the 9-0 victory. Five of Oregon State's 10 hits in the game were home runs, including a pair of long balls from Adrienne Alo.
The Inning
Oregon State rallied to score two runs in the bottom of the seventh inning and upset No. 6 ranked University of Washington, 2-1, on May 3, 2002. Third baseman Clare
Burnum led-off the frame with her 17th double of the season. Shelly Prochaska's single through the right side scored Burnum to tie the game. With the bases loaded and one
out, junior Jessica King belted a line drive into the left-center field gap to plate Michelle Chariton for the game-winner.
The Run
Oregon State finished the 2001 regular season with a 1-0, 9-inning, victory against No. 6 California on May 12. Senior Shawna Feldt, playing the final game of her career
in Corvallis, scored the game-winner after a leadoff double, and was tackled by her teammates at home plate. The run was the 100th of Feldt's career, making her the alltime
leader in runs scored for Oregon State.
The Single
Oregon State used a two-out 8th inning single up the middle from sophomore shortstop Mia Longfellow to earn a dramatic 2-1 victory against No. 7 ranked UCLA in the
April 1, 2005 Pac-10 opener. The victory was just the seventh in school history for the Beavers against the defending NCAA National Champion Bruins and extended Oregon
State's school record winning streak to 16 games.
The Grand Slam
Voted the "Best Performance" by any Oregon State sport during the 2005 school year, OSU's dramatic 4-0 home finale victory against No. 2 ranked University of Arizona
on May 1, 2005 was a record-setting outing. Junior catcher Lisa Allen belted a sixth inning bases loaded two-out full-count pitch over the centerfield fence for her first career
grand slam and sophomore pitcher Brianne McGowan amassed a career-high 12 strikeouts as the No. 8 ranked Beavers stunned the Wildcats. Oregon State won the season
series against Arizona for the first time in program history and earned its first victory against the Wildcats in Corvallis since 1989. Little would OSU know - until the final day
of the season - but that victory against Arizona gave Oregon State the tie-breaker in the Pac-10 Conference championship and the Beavers earned the Pac-10's automatic
berth to the NCAA Tournament.
