No. 7 Stanford (40-11) enters its weekend series against visiting No. 21 Oregon (27-16) with a puncher’s chance at the Pac-12 regular-season title. The Cardinal need a sweep of the Ducks and help from last-place Arizona State to pass No. 6 UCLA for the crown. Stanford stands at 15-6 in Pac-12 play while the Bruins are 14-4 as they head to Tempe to face the Sun Devils. Oregon, meanwhile, could finish as high as second place. At 12-8, the Ducks hold fourth place, a half-game back of Washington and two-and-a-half behind the Cardinal. Stanford holds a string of four straight NCAA tournament bids and played in last year’s Women’s College World Series. Its lone Pac-12 title, however, came in 2005. Oregon’s streak of consecutive NCAA tourney appearances stands at three.
