BSB: Oregon Loses Crushing 9-7 Extra Inning Game to Portland

Oregon baseball suffered perhaps their toughest loss of the season on Monday night, losing 9-7 in 11 innings to Portland after a seemingly miraculous comeback. The Ducks trailed 2-0 after a half inning, then 6-3 after two and a half innings, and finally were down 7-6 with two outs in the ninth before Kenyan Yovan delivered a saving grace solo shot to left field. However, Oregon couldn’t recover from a 2-run 11th inning by the Pilots, who outhit the Ducks 15-8 a day after UO couldn’t muster a single hit against Washington State. Connor Knutson notched the win for Portland (11-19), while reliever Ryne Nelson (1.0 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 2 K) received the loss. Oregon moves to 18-13 on the year and have now suffered back-to-back losses as their sights move to a weekend series in Seattle against Washington
