Oregon Softball Set To Host Top 10 Offensive Power Louisiana-Lafayette
The Oregon Ducks Softball team has won ten straight games and will have an non-conference home series with Louisiana-Lafayette this weekend at Howe Field. The three game series will begin on Friday and conclude with a double header on Saturday. Inclimate weather is expected on Sunday.
The Ducks are coming off a three game road sweep of Stanford last weekend. Louisana-Lafayette has won nine straight games and had several series cancelled due to the weather. The Ragin’ Cajuns come in as one of the few teams that can match the Offensive firepower of the Oregon Ducks and are coming into Eugene after their two higest scoring games of the season against Appalachian State, 21-5 and 23-6 respectively.
