Patmon, who scored the game-tying run after a leadoff triple in the sixth, crushed the first pitch she saw in the seventh to send the Np. 16 seed Ducks to a 10-7 comeback win over Stanford in the Eugene Regional final Sunday night at Jane Sanders Stadium.
Stanford was held to just two hits after Economides’ second home run as Oregon left-hander Staci Chambers relieved starter Lyndsey Greir and threw 4 1/3 scoreless innings. Elise Sokolsky recorded the final out in the top of the seventh inning.
