Not only did Oregon Softball extend their winning streak to five on Monday with a 10-1 victory in five innings over Notre Dame, they’ve also scored nine or more runs in all five of those contests.

Suffice to say, Melissa Lombardi’s squad is firing on all cylinders as the postseason draws closer.

The Ducks, who pushed their overall record to 45-5, scored five runs in the first inning for the second straight day and Taylour Spencer threw four strong innings, backed by a tremendous catch by Kedre Luschar over the wall in center field that took a home run away from the Irish in the third inning.

Oregon now turns its attention to a three-game series against Michigan State that starts Friday at 6 p.m. PST. The Ducks head into the weekend with a one-game lead over No. 7 UCLA for first place in the Big Ten Conference. Oregon also holds the head-to-head tiebreaker against the Bruins.
