Palomino-Cardoza lost her voice by the end of Friday night鈥檚 Pac-12 opener against Oregon, but she didn鈥檛 lose her swing.

The redshirt junior hit two of the 12th-ranked Wildcats鈥� four homers 鈥� including one that landed on top of Gittings Gym, the building located well beyond the right field wall 鈥� en route to an 8-0 run-rule win in six innings at Hillenbrand Stadium.

鈥淪he hit one like that in high school and it went really, really far. But that one, right off the bat, everyone was like, 鈥極h my God,鈥欌�� ace Taylor McQuillin said of Palomino-Cardoza鈥檚 sixth-inning home run. 鈥淭hat鈥檚 what she does 鈥� that鈥檚 Alyssa for you. If you ask if she can hit it farther, the answer is yes.

鈥淪he鈥檚 going to go out there, take her cuts and take a good pitch to clear the fence or building or anything.鈥�

Palomino-Cardoza wasn鈥檛 the only Wildcat to do damage. All but two from the lineup managed at least a hit, totaling 13 against Oregon, which only managed two hits.

Reyna Carranco and Palomino-Cardoza each extended their season-long hitting streak to eight games.

Coach Mike Candrea felt like the offense may have left a few runs behind, but ultimately couldn鈥檛 complain about their performance. Candrea said he was glad to see production out of the bottom of the lineup from Rylee Pierce, Hannah 鈥淧eanut鈥� Martinez and Jenna Kean, who combined hit 5 for 7 with two RBIs and three runs scored.

鈥淩ylee Pierce today, she finally busted open and had three hits,鈥� Candrea said. 鈥淛enna did a nice job. Peanut did a nice job. I wish Peanut was a little bit faster, because she鈥檇 have a lot more hits, but handles the bat well and situationally does some good things for us.鈥�

The Wildcats first got on the board with a lead-off home run in the second inning by Dejah Mulipola 鈥� her 10th of the season 鈥� and made it 2-0 when Martinez hit a sac fly to bring in Tamara Statman.

蜜柚直播 followed up with another lead-off home run in the third 鈥� Palomino-Cardoza鈥檚 first of the game 鈥� and a homer by Pierce in the fourth to make it 4-0.

In the sixth, after Palomino-Cardoza鈥檚 three-run moon shot, Malia Martinez hit a walk-off single to score Jessie Harper and end the game.

Defensively, McQuillin retired 16 straight batters between the two allowed hits in the first and sixth innings. The senior struck out eight and didn鈥檛 allow a walk.

McQuillin said she didn鈥檛 do a good job of locating pitches in last week鈥檚 series opener against the then-top-ranked Seminoles, so she wanted to attack early Friday.

鈥淚t鈥檚 not just me out there,鈥� McQuillin said. 鈥淲e have nine people on the field and I鈥檓 one of those positions. So if the ball comes to me, I鈥檓 expected to field it.

鈥淏ut I think just trusting my team, knowing that if the ball鈥檚 hit, they can make the plays. They may not always look great, but they鈥檙e going to get the job done. And sometimes getting the job done is what鈥檚 important.鈥�
