Oregon capped off the series against Ball State with a walk-off victory, 7-6 on Sunday. They finish the weekend series with a record of 3-1.

Oregon’s offense was able to start off hot in the 2nd inning after two straight hits off Bargo. After a wild pitch, Hall was able to advance home to put Oregon up 1-0.  Bargo’s struggles continued with a walk against Novitske and then an RBI single to left field from Grant to put Oregon up 2-0. Before the inning ended, Bargo gave up another RBI against Smith before finally finishing the inning. Oregon was headed into the top of the third leading 3-0. 

Ball State was able to force long appearances at-bat, but couldn’t get much offense against Caleb Sloan pitching. He allowed just 3 hits in the 3 innings he pitched. However, once Stone Churby came in to pitch during the 5th inning, the Cardinal’s offense came to life. Churby gave up a walk, a wild pitch, and hit a batter,…

The 14th ranked Oregon Ducks Softball team suffered a tough 9-4 home loss to the 13th ranked Arizona State Sun Devils Saturday night at Jane Saunders Stadium after leading 4-1 through the first five innings. Stevie Hansen pitched lights out early on for Oregon, not allowing a hit through the first three innings. In those early innings, the Oregon offense was able to score 4 runs off two RBI hits, a sacrifice fly, and an Arizona State error. Paige Sinicki and Jasmine Williams provided the RBI hits early on, allowing for Oregon to capitalize on runners in scoring position in the 2nd inning.
Stevie Hansen would surrender her first hit of the day to Jazmine Hill on a solo home run in the top of the 5th, which only cut the Ducks lead to 4-1 at that point. Following a scoreless fifth for both teams, Arizona State piled on the runs in the 6th inning. Stevie Hansen gave up a two-run bomb to Alynah Torres to start the inning, before…

After a rough weekend in Los Angeles, the Oregon Ducks(19-10) returned to Eugene looking to get back on track against the Ball State Cardinals(17-10). They came out victorious in game 1 of the 4-game series against the Cardinals on Friday evening, 13-7. In a game with plenty of ties and lead changes, ultimately it was the Ducks who finished on top after 9 innings.

The game was started by sophomore right RJ Gordon, who finished with 4.2 IP, 4 ER allowed, 3 strikeouts, and 3 walks. This was his 4th start of the season, and he was looking very strong for his first four innings. After running into some trouble in the 5th, he was replaced by Dylan Sabia, who would allow a few inherited runners to score and make it an interesting ballgame. Getting the win for the Ducks though would be Matt Dallas, who pitched 2 innings, only giving up 1 run.

The Ducks offense gave their pitchers plenty of support throughout the game, especially later in the…

Just like their counterparts on the Oregon Softball team, Ducks baseball also suffered a sweep at the hands of the UCLA Bruins in Los Angeles last weekend. After keeping it close for three one-run losses, the Ducks have to feel disappointed in themselves coming off a series where they just couldn't get the job done.

The Ducks will get a good opportunity to show that last weekend was just a fluke when they take on the Ball State Cardinals this weekend in Eugene. It will be a battle for this Ducks team, however as Ball State has won 12 out of their last 14 games, albeit playing in the Mid-American Conference. This will be Oregon's first venture against a MAC team this season, and it should be a showing of how Oregon can continue to either exceed or struggle against nonconference opponents.

Ball State isn't hitting with the prowess of the Ducks as of late but has fifth-year outfielder Amir Wright who has been able to get…

#14 Oregon Softball looks to bounce back after a series loss to the UCLA Bruins at home against their next opponent: the #15 Arizona State Sun Devils. 

The loss against UCLA was the first time that Oregon has lost a series against an opponent this year. The Sun Devils are coming into this series off of a 14 game win streak after sweeping the Arizona Wildcats in convincing fashion. Despite the loss, Head Coach Melyssa Lombardi’s confidence in the team hasn’t wavered. 

“We've got a really good team, and in order for us to compete and do the things we need to do, we need to be clean across the board,” Lombardi said. “When we have the opportunity to clutch up and hit, we need to hit.” 

Compared to the Ducks’ recent hitting struggles, Arizona State ranks top three in almost every major hitting statistic in the nation. The Sun Devils are currently 3rd in hitting percentage (0.344…
