The prep All-American struck out 13 batters in her 6.1 innings - the sixth-best 'K' total in school history. That total was also only two shy of her season high in six innings vs. Boston College two weekends ago, and three off the school record (16).

"It was wonderful to finally pitch at home," Hawkins said. "I did my best to try and focus in Janell's zone, and not pay attention to anything else. The whole team is clicking in all phases, and we're excited for the Pac-12 games around the corner."

The Anderson, Calif., native also gave up only one hit Wednesday - a third-inning bunt single - and one walk.

At the plate, the Ducks scored all four of their runs the fourth inning.

Junior shortstop Courtney Ceo and sophomore center fielder Janie Takeda led off with singles, and junior first baseman Kailee Cuico followed with a two-run single.

After a single by junior DP Alexa Peterson loaded the bases, freshman left fielder Koral Costa lined an RBI single down the right field line.

The Ducks' final run came the next at-bat on a ground-out by freshman catcher Janelle Lindvall.

At the plate, Takeda (2-for-3) posted her team-leading 14th multi-hit game of the season, and upped her hitting streak to 12 games.

The returning All-Pac-12 Freshman Team choice upped her season average to a team-best .500 on the year and also paces the team in hits (43), homers (5), total bases (56) and stolen bases (14).

Six other Ducks hit safely once.

"I didn't even know Cheridan was that close to the record," Oregon head coach Mike White said. "I told her to just take one batter at a time. At the plate, Courtney (Ceo) and Janie (Takeda) did a good job setting the table today, just like all season." 

For UNM, right-handed pitcher Lauren Soles (6-5), struck out four, walked none, allowed eight hits, and all four of her runs allowed were earned.

At the plate for the Lobos, right fielder Cassandra Kalapasa collected the team's lone hit, and Kaity Ingram also walked.

Earlier Wednesday, the Ducks beat UNM by a 10-0 count in six innings, thanks to a one-hit complete game by senior Jessica Moore.

Altogether now on the season, Duck pitchers have held opponents to one hit in seven contests in '13.
