Oregon softball will play its sixth consecutive home Super Regional this weekend at Jane Sanders Stadium.

The top-seeded Ducks (50-7), earned the right to play No. 16 Kentucky (34-19) in a best-of-three this weekend after sweeping the Eugene Regional this past weekend. Oregon bested Albany (4-0) and Drake twice (5-0, 3-0).

This will be a rematch of the 2017 Super Regionals at The Jane. Last year, the Ducks won both games over the Wildcats (4-0, 6-5) to punch a ticket to Oklahoma City for the Women's College World Series.

Kentucky won three run-ruled ended games in their regional over the weekend. They beat down Illinois-Chicago and Notre Dame twice. They won by a combined score of 28-1, and needed just 16 innings to do so.

The Wildcats earned a national seed despite finishing 10th in SEC play with an 8-15 record. They have been much better at home this season than on the road. They're 21-5 in home games and 6-12 in road outings.

The games against the Wildcats will be played on Thursday and Friday, with a third game scheduled for Saturday should it be necessary. Thursday's game is set for 6 PM and Friday at 8 PM. Both games will be carried on ESPN2.

The Wildcats will look a bit different than last year. Last year's ace, Meagan Prince has graduated, leaving many new faces in the circle. The Ducks did face Erin Rethlake last season, scoring two runs off of her in a little over four innings of work. She also drove in two of the team's five runs in Eugene.

While the Ducks own an impressive 27-0 record in regional play under coach Mike White, they've struggled a little more in super regional games. From 2010 to 2012, the Ducks played those series on the road, going 2-5 with just one WCWS berth coming in 2012. Since then, they've stayed in Eugene for Super Regional action, going 6-4 in those series with three trips to OKC.

Oregon advanced this past past weekend behind dominant pitching from Miranda Elish and Megan Kleist. The duo combined to hurl 21 shutout innings, as visitors failed to reach home in three games against the Ducks. For the weekend, they gave up just 10 hits, 13 total base runners with an astounding 36 strikeouts.

The Oregon bats weren't nearly as explosive as we've come accustomed to seeing, as the Ducks managed just 12 runs in three games. For reference, they scored 28 runs in 2017 and had over 20 in four other regional rounds.
