Lyndsey Grein hurled a no-hitter and struck out 14. Ayanna Shaw doubled and tripled, scoring on a sacrifice fly by third baseman Katie Flannery as Oregon's softball's Version 8 opened their season with a 3-0 win over Missouri at the NFCA leadoff classic in Clearwater, Florida.
Shaw, the hero of the Ducks' deciding games in last year's Eugene Regional and Super Regional, blasted a two-run double in the seventh to give Grein insurance.
In a story at goducks.com Grein downplayed the first season opening game no-hitter in program history. "In all honesty, I was just kind of hanging out, having fun with my friends," Grein said.
