Historic Night For The Ducks Ruined by the Washington State Cougars Finishing Victorious

By Jack McArthur

The Oregon Ducks fell short to the Cougars saturday night after a tough 10-8 home loss against Washington State at PK park. Oregon stayed resilient, yet their efforts weren’t enough in the end due to their lackadaisical and inconsistent pitching outings. One of the Cougars’ best hitters, Jack Smith, hit a double early at the top of the first, which was the first hit of the night for Washington State. Minutes later, the next batter, junior designated hitter Jacob McKeon slammed one home, which was a two-run homer in the top of the first to open up the scoring.

The Ducks’ starting pitcher was Jace Stoffal, who didn’t have a good outing, giving up four runs in 2.1 innings of work. The Cougars were hitting home runs on the Ducks all day long. Washington State’s Collin Montez hit a two-run slam past the right field wall in the top of the second inning, giving the Cougars an early 4-0 lead. Oregon’s Anthony Hall hit a single which got the Ducks on…

SB STORY | Oregon Ducks almost pull off upset in back and forth game

On a very sunny and warm Saturday evening at Jane Sanders stadium, the Oregon Ducks(26-15, 5-12 Pac-12) took on rival Washington Huskies(27-11, 8-6 Pac-12) in game 2 of a 3-game set, after UW took game 1 by way of the run rule. This game was a lot more competitive, with the Huskies coming out on top in extras by a score of 9-7.

Oregon pitching got off to a rough start, with Makenna Kliethermes getting the nod and struggling to find the strike zone, walking 5 batters in her 1.1 innings pitched before getting replaced by Stevie Hansen, who would finish the game from there. Hansen finished with 6.2 IP, 3 earned runs, 3 strikeouts, and a walk. And despite coming away with the loss, she was practically unhittable for the middle portion of the game, throwing three straight perfect innings from the 3rd to the 5th, followed by leadoff singles in the 6th and 7th that amounted to nothing. It wasn't till the top of the 8th, when the Huskies managed to get a runner on, allowing…

FB Story: Fans Get First Look at 2022 Roster During Oregon Spring Game

Written Story by Jakob Salao

Eugene, ORE. – The 2022 Oregon Football team took to the field for the first time on April 23 for the annual Spring Game. The Ducks were split into either the Green Team or the Yellow team before the game.

One of the biggest storylines of this game was the QB battle of who will be the starter for the 2022 season. Ty Thompson, the 5-star recruit that many fans wished to see in the 2021 season, started for the Green Team, and transfer Bo Nix started for the Yellow Team. Jay Butterfield took the field for both teams as well. However, it was Nix who was the most impressive of these three. His opening drive started with a 70-yard bomb down the field and a bullet passes down the middle of the field for the touchdown, both caught by Seven McGee. Nix would go on to finish the game passing 8/15 with 230 yards, 3 TDs, and 1 INT. Comparatively, Ty Thompson threw 12/27 for 168 yards, 1 TD, and 2 INT. Many of Thompson’s…

BSB STORY: Oregon Baseball Rallies Late to Win Friday Night Series Opener vs. Washington State

by Ryan Oppenheimer

Oregon's baseball season continues to take dramatic turns. Countless times the Ducks (26-11) have made late comebacks in games that previously seemed out of reach, and the trend continued in tonight's 8-7 extra-inning home win over the Washington State Cougars (14-22).

Righty sophomore RJ Gordon made his sixth start of the season for Oregon and left the game 2 outs into the top of the 4th after giving up 6 runs on 9 hits. Relievers Christian Ciuffetelli, Stone Churby, Andrew Mosiello, Tommy Brandenburg and Kolby Somers picked up for the struggling Gordon, holding the Cougars scoreless through the final 5 innings and giving the offense a chance to rally. Sure enough, a chance was all they needed.

Through the first 5 innings, Oregon failed to put up a run and were at the mercy of Wazzu starter Cole McMillan, who dealt 10 strikeouts in 6.2 innings pitched. But the resurgence started in the 6th inning when Anthony Hall hit a bases-…
