College, 2-1, before pounding Whittier (Calif.), 15-5. The Raiders, 13-2 overall and ranked No. 18 in the latest NAIA national poll, finished the road trip 7-2. Pitching ace Brandi Brown (12-1) suffered her first loss of the season in the opener, as Hastings scored the winning run thanks to an SOU error in the top of the sixth inning. Lisa Aitchison led off the bottom of the seventh with a double for the Raiders, but pinch-runner Molly Pendergast advanced no farther than third base. Against Whittier, Brown blasted three doubles in three at-bats and racked up four RBIs. SOU smashed 20 hits overall and sewed up the win in five innings thanks to the 10-run mercy rule. The Raiders return home to face Concordia in Cascade Conference play at noon Saturday and host No. 1-ranked Simon Fraser (Burnaby, B.C.) on Sunday in Ashland.
