Oregon baseball has had its fair share of storylines this season, from its historic offense to its seemingly fruitless search for a consistent starting pitcher. The former has struggled immensely of late, being shut out for the first time ever under head coach Mark Wasikowski on May 3 against Oregon State, then two more times in the subsequent week — one coming against Oregon State again, but the second against a far lesser opponent in UC San Diego. While it’s a subject of debate whether or not to be concerned about Oregon’s repeated losses to OSU, there is no doubt that a shutout loss to UCSD this far into the season is cause for some level of inquiry, especially given that the Ducks have won just one out of their last seven games. The team’s upcoming three game stint against Arizona State gives it a chance to get back on track and build off that one win against UCSD, a 15-6 rout that occurred on Wednesday evening. The Ducks’ loss to UCSD may not be…

Audio story:

In the final matchup of a midweek 2-game series versus the UC San Diego Tritons(22-25, 11-10 Big West), the Oregon Ducks baseball team(29-20, 13-11 Pac-12) came out strong after a lackluster performance on Tuesday, putting up 5 runs in each of the 2nd and 3rd innings to win by a score of 15-6. Josh Kasevich set the tone early with a laser of a home run to left, and Sam Novitske followed it up two batters later with a 2-run shot, also to left.

Starting on the mound for the Ducks was Dylan Sabia, although he would only throw 2 innings to the tune of 1 earned run, 2 K's, and no walks. The game turned into a bullpen day for the Ducks, relying on a collection of 5 pitchers to get through 9 innings. A couple of pitchers saw their first action in a little bit, with Kolby Somers taking the mound for the first time in 10 days, and Jacob Hughes seeing his first stint since March 29th.

The Ducks will be traveling to Palo Alto this Friday to take on the Stanford Cardinal in their final series of the season. Both teams have struggled mightily in conference play, posting similar records and both being recently swept by Washington. Oregon will enter this game on a higher note than the Cardinal however, boosted by an uplifting sweep against Oregon State last weekend. Oregon has an underwhelming 8-13 record in conference play, sitting at a win total equal to that of the Cardinal, though the latter has three fewer losses.

The key to this series for the Ducks is going to be on Stanford’s mound. The worst season-long ERA on the Cardinal’s pitching staff is 3.50, owned by Tatum Boyd. Conversely, Oregon’s best pitcher with respect to ERA is Stevie Hansen, who boasts a 3.25 on the year. Oregon will have to find a way to compensate for the less-than-favorable matchup on the mound one of two ways: find a way to hit consistently off…
