SB PREVIEW: No. 25/22 Oregon Looks to Keep Win Streak Alive in Season-Closing Series vs. Stanford

By Dylan Farrell

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…

BSB | Oregon Baseball Shut Out for the First Time in the Mark Wasikowski Era

Written Story: Ryan Milano

The #24 ranked Ducks hosted #2 Oregon State for the second consecutive Tuesday and found a similar result. The Ducks dropped their mid-week bout with the Beavers 2-0 in a pitcher's duel that showcased both teams' bullpens.

Oregon started Dylan Sabia on the bump as an opener, but the most impressive pitcher of the night was Caleb Sloan. Sloan relived Sabia in the 2nd inning and threw three scoreless frames, including five K's. Andrew Mosiello came in after Sloan and had an impressive two-inning three strikeout outing.

Despite Oregon's pitching success, Oregon State was equally as adept on the hill. The Beavers held the Ducks' bats at bay as both teams entered the 7th inning scoreless.

Oregon had a chance to add runs in the 7th, with the bases loaded and one out. Gavin Grant came to the plate but went down on strikes, and Tyler Ganus lined out to end the Oregon threat.

Oregon State capitalized in the…

PREVIEW: Oregon Baseball Prepares For Four-Game Set Against Rival Beavers

By Liam Baker

Eugene, OR — The #24 Ducks and #2 Beavers will face off for a four-game set with Pac-12 positioning on the line. The two teams met last Tuesday at PK Park, which saw the Beavers pull out a 4-2 win. Oregon State built a 3-0 lead early, and Justin Boyd robbed Jack Scanlon of a two-run home run to help the Beavers win. The first game of this series will take place on Tuesday in Eugene and the final three games of the series will be held in Corvallis starting Friday. 

The Ducks broke their three-game losing streak this weekend, taking two out of three from California. RJ Gordon and Isaac Ayon put together some of their best starts of the season and Anthony Hall and the offense continued to light up the scoreboard. The Ducks' offense will need to continue their hot season that has Oregon first or second in most offensive categories in the Pac-12. They will face off against an Oregon State team that has the best pitching staff in the Pac-12 and one…

SB STORY - No. 22 Oregon Completes Sweep over rivals Oregon State in Final Home Game

By Graham Metzker

The No. 22 Oregon Ducks softball team (29-16) celebrated Senior Day properly, earning their first conference sweep of the season over in-state rivals Oregon State (31-18) with a 4-2 win on Sunday at Jane Sanders Stadium.

It was a pitcher’s duel to start the final game of the series, with aces Stevie Hansen and Mariah Mazon facing off for the second time in three days. Hansen and Mazon combined for 12 strikeouts, but both starters got flustered and gave up multiple runs.

Oregon shortstop Paige Sinicki opened up the scoring on the day with an RBI double in the bottom of the second inning. But Mazon made up for her errors quickly, using her bat in the next half inning to drive in two runs and to give Oregon State the 2-1 lead.

Makenna Kliethermes was forced to enter the game in the third inning after Hansen got roughed up, despite pitching six innings and picking up the win in yesterday’s match. But Kliethermes…
