EUGENE, Ore. -  Eastern Oregon showed a glimpse of why they are one of the top teams in the NAIA on Saturday, holding Bushnell to two hits in a pair of five-inning run-rule victories.
 
The Mounties (13-3, 4-1 CCC) had ten hits in each game and collected five homers, while the Beacons (3-12, 1-4) collected just two hits in game two against one of the best pitching staffs in the nation.
 
GAME ONE: No. 2 Eastern Oregon 8, Bushnell 0 (5 Innings)
 
Maliyah Moore (7-1) threw a no-hitter for the Mounties in the opener, striking out six batters. Three walks allowed kept her from the perfect game.

GAME TWO: No. 2 Eastern Oregon 11, Bushnell 1 (5 Innings)
 
Richardson was able to get the Beacons on the scoreboard in game two, providing the first hit of the day for Bushnell with a solo home run in the top of the second inning.
