No. 6 Oregon softball tops Michigan to take sole possession of third place in Big Ten
Rylee McCoy’s RBI single in the sixth gave No. 6 Oregon a series-opening win over Michigan.
Paige Sinicki led off the frame with a double and McCoy hit a first pith to right to drive in the winning run in a 3-2 Ducks win Friday night at Jane Sanders Stadium.
Elise Sokolsky (10) struck out two and allowed one hit in 1.2 innings of winning relief for Oregon (33-3, 7-1 Big Ten), which moved into sole possession of third place in the conference.
Katie Flannery homered to lead off the bottom of the second and Stefini Ma’ake added an RBI ground out.
Maddie Erickson put Michigan (27-10, 6-2) on the board with a solo home run in the fifth, then Jenissa Conway tied it with a solo shot in the sixth to end the day for Lyndsey Grein, who allowed two runs on three hits and one walk with eight strikeouts over 5.1 IP in a no-decision.
Sokolsky allowed a one-out single in the seventh but got a strikeout and fly out to leave the tying run aboard as the Wolverines went 0 for 6 with runners on base.
The teams play again at 4 p.m. Saturday.

MEDFORD, Ore. — Fire crews quickly knocked down a trailer fire Monday night that threatened a nearby home in the 3000 block of Table Rock Road, displacing one resident.
Firefighters responded around 9:20 p.m. Monday, May 4. Engine 14 arrived to find a trailer on fire and the flames threatening a nearby residence. Crews knocked the fire down within eight minutes of arrival.
No injuries to civilians or firefighters were reported. One resident was displaced as a result of the fire.
The cause is believed to be related to the use of an outdoor fire pit, where embers likely ignited nearby combustible materials. Officials said the fire spread from pallets and other items to the RV, causing extensive damage to the RV and minor damage to the exterior of the home.
With warmer, drier weather approaching, officials warned fire risk increases and urged people to follow outdoor fire safety tips. They recommend using a screen on outdoor fires when burning wood, choosing approved propane free-standing fire pits rather than wood-fueled options, keeping combustible materials at least 15 feet away, and discarding cigarettes, ash, embers and other smoldering materials in a non-combustible container filled with water.
Medford Police, Mercy Flights Inc. and Jackson County Fire District 3 assisted on the incident.
