Maddox, Duck lineup come alive in commanding win over Redhawks

By Saul Galvan

EUGENE, Ore- Coming off a high-scoring performance the previous night, the Ducks kept the offense production going in game three vs. Seattle. Oregon managed to plate 9 runs in the win over the Redhawks. Maddox Molony led the offense with 3 hits, including his first career home run all in the ballpark where he grew up watching games.

“I was hoping it sparked something,” said Molony. “Hitting it in this uniform (Oregon) though was cool.” Molony graduated from Thurtston Highschool where he led his team to a state championship as a senior. The hometown kid was banged up to start the season but has had a good series with six combined hits. 

The rest of the offense backed up Molony's performance, converting with base runners on. Last night, Oregon left 13 baserunners stranded but cleaned things up tonight, with only eight. Bennett Thompson, Jeffrey Heard, and Drew Smith all had 2 hits a piece. Thompson drove in three runs, two…

OREGON WLAX PREVIEW: Ducks look to right the ship against Aggies in conference play

By Mario Ponce

EUGENE, Ore. - The Oregon Ducks women’s lacrosse team (6-3, 0-2 Pac-12) will host the University of California Davis Aggies (8-3, 1-1 Pac-12) tomorrow in their third Pac-12 game of the season. The Ducks lost their opening two conference matchups and look to bounce back against the Aggies.

Oregon Ducks:

The Ducks have enjoyed their best start to a season in many years so far, but after going 5-1 before conference play, they lost back-to-back against the Cal Golden Bears and Stanford Cardinal. The Ducks have historically struggled in this sport, and they finished last season in the last position in the conference with a 1-9 Pac-12 record. This year, every team will play every other team only once, and after tomorrow's game, Oregon has four games in April. The Ducks lost to the Bears in a narrow squeaker but were outgunned by the Cardinal by double digits. Their offensive…

BSB STORY: Oregon Has Convincing Win Over Seattle Behind Stellar Pitching

EUGENE, Ore – A night after the Ducks could push across just one run in regulation, Oregon baseball (17-7, 6-3 Pac-12) seemed to have an easier win in the bag. Through two innings, Oregon was cruising. The Ducks led 4-0 and had their top-of-the-rotation starter RJ Gordon seemed to have his A-game on. 

But the script flipped for Oregon. The team which has had such a hard time starting games, but had the middle third of the game be a breeze, would struggle in the middle as the Seattle Redhawks (7-18, 3-6 WAC) continued to fight back. 

However, as it has all year, Oregon would ride its bullpen depth. Ian Umlandt, Cole Stokes, Brock Moore and Colin Clarke gave Oregon four innings of one run baseball. Most importantly, the true freshman Stokes and Clarke inherited difficult situations and rewarded the coaching staff with double play balls.

Oregon secured at the very least a series split against the Redhawks, winning 10-2.

OREGON SB PREVIEW: Surging Ducks travel south to take on UCLA Bruins

By Liam Baker

EUGENE, Ore. — The Ducks (20-10) have been a different team since Pac-12 play began but now face one of their toughest tests of the season as they travel to Los Angeles to take on the UCLA Bruins (18-8). The Ducks struggled to build momentum throughout non-conference play but seemed to have turned a corner since. Oregon has won each of its first three Pac-12 series and after a 12-4 win over Cal State Fullerton on Tuesday, the team has now won five games in a row, its longest win streak of the season. But, those series wins have come against the three teams at the bottom of the Pac-12 standings and the Ducks now take on a Bruins team that has had their number in recent years. The Bruins have won the last five series between the schools including eight of the last nine matchups. But, the Ducks are playing their best ball at the moment; let's break down both teams and see how the Ducks matchup against the Bruins

Oregon Defeats Seattle 5-4 in a 10-inning Thriller

Written story by Jack McArthur

The first clash of the four-game series between Oregon and Seattle was a thrillingly entertaining game. Oregon’s sophomore second baseman Drew Smith had a game winning walk off hit in the bottom of the 10th inning. Smith’s clutch single down the third base line was his first walk-off as a Duck. The odds were stacked against Oregon entering the bottom of the 10th inning. Seattle’s late game rally in the 10th inning put them up big. Seattle led 4-1 at the top of the 10th. Redhawk’s senior third baseman crushed a ball past the left-center field wall, homering to put his team up by three. At the end of nine innings, Seattle led Oregon by three with a 4-1 score. The game started off slow. After two innings, the game remained scoreless. The Ducks led 1-0 after the third inning.

In the bottom of the third, Seattle’s starting pitcher, Jarek Woodward, threw a costly wild pitch. It  advanced Bryce Boettcher and led to Carter Garate…
