The girl once known as "Crazy Legs" is enjoying a crazy postseason for Oregon softball., who got that nickname while playing for UO coach's 10-and-under team years ago, continued her postseason power surge with a two-run triple in Oregon's 11-6 victory over Arizona State to open the Women's College World Series on Thursday.A Eugene native who attended Marist High, Burke had a pair of two-run, pinch-hit home runs in this year's NCAA Regional round. She entered the starting lineup for two Super Regional wins over Kentucky, going 2-for-5 with three runs and two RBIs as the Ducks took a pair of must-win games.On Thursday, Burke came on with two on and one out after asingle put Oregon up 3-2 in the third. To that point the Ducks were struggling to make solid contact against ASU starter Giselle "G" Juarez. Burke put an end to that, driving a triple into the right-field corner for a 5-2 lead.For the postseason, Burke is now 7-for-13 with nine RBIs."This whole year has been a total roller coaster of up and downs," said Burke, who was hitting .154 entering the start of Pac-12 play, and .222 in mid-April. "I'm seeing the ball right now, and I get lucky in situations."Burke went more than a month between starts before rejoining the lineup in Super Regionals. She didn't start the series opener, despite the two homers in the regional round, with White appreciating the luxury of holding her in reserve as a pinch hitter.But returning Burke to a starting role hasn't cooled her hot streak. Coaches and teammates marvel at the free and easy approach she takes at the plate, with seniorsaying last week Burke enters the batter's box with the breezy nature of a shopper browsing the aisles."I think it's funny; it's pretty accurate," Burke said. "When I'm in the box, I'm really not trying to think too much. I know a lot of people are like, 'that's crazy,' but it helps my game. I have a tendency to over-think things, so when I'm in the box, I make it as simple as I can. Get a good pitch to hit, hit it hard … I don't try and look for a certain pitch. Just a strike that I can handle."of chasing Oregon's starting pitcher by hitting two home runs, only to face a reliever who happened to be the newly minted Pac-12 pitcher of the year.White kept juniorin reserve for the start of the WCWS, opting to start sophomorefresh off her two Super Regional wins over Kentucky. Kleist pitched a quick 1-2-3 sixth inning before ASU scratched out a run in the seventh. The Sun Devils had two on and one out when Kleist got back-to-back strikeouts to end the game."I had the luxury of picking between two pitchers that have an ERA right around or under 1.00, and that's good, especially when we are scoring runs," White said. "It was a matter of, how long do I let (Elish) go? I don't want to wear her out, and I don't want to wear Megan out because if we win today we have to throw her tomorrow."White said he went with Elish on Thursday based on the way his pitchers matched up with the opposition, presumably both Thursday and in a potential winner's bracket game Friday. The Ducks will face Washington on Friday (4 p.m. PT, ESPN); White said Thursday he told his team which pitcher would start, but didn't announce it publicly.White also continues to consider sophomorewhen discussing his pitching options, after her return from a back injury to become a late-season factor.didn't go quite as planned.The UO team bus was found to have a flat tire before departing the Ducks' hotel. Working contacts between the two coaching staffs, Oregon was able to utilize the bus of fellow WCWS participant Florida State, which was staying in a nearby hotel.Perhaps there's a little luck to that bus?"We want to know if we can borrow it for the rest of the week," White joked following Thursday's victory.
