After a sweep at the hands of Arizona last weekend, Oregon(24-22, 8-14 Pac 12) came back to conference play for the biggest series of the season against rival Oregon State(31-14-1, 17-4 Pac 12). The Ducks managed to keep it respectable against the Beavers after the Wildcats put up huge numbers against them, losing by a score of 4-1. Starting pitcher Robert Ahlstrom was a little rough the first few innings, but settled down and managed to pitch 8.1 innings, giving up only two hits after the third inning and kept the Beavers offense in check for most of the night. This start was the longest of his career, coming in front of his hometown crowd for an added bonus. Spencer Steer seemed to be the Ducks only hope at victory tonight, as he did everything, making multiple highlight reel plays at the hot corner and going 3 for 4 at the plate and driving in the only run for Oregon.

Tomorrow, the Ducks will try to steal one from the Beavers, with first pitch scheduled for 2 pm at PK Park.
