EUGENE, OR — In a series that has been full of late inning-drama, Sunday’s game was no different. The Oregon Ducks (16-7) trailed the USC Trojans (14-8) 6-1 after two innings but mounted a furious comeback in the late innings to win 7-6, their eighth come from behind victory of the season.  

The Trojan offense got going early. After a pair of one-out walks by Caleb Sloan, the Trojans got three straight RBI knocks highlighted by a two-run home run by Nick Lopez to give USC a 5-0 lead. The Ducks were able to get one back in the bottom of the inning thanks to an RBI double by Brennan Milone which brought Colby Shade home. Tommy Brandenburg, who hadn’t pitched since March 13, took over for Sloan in the top half of the second but wasn’t able to slow the Trojans down. D’Andre Smith hit one over the left-field wall to make it 6-1, but that was last Trojan to cross the plate. 

Logan Mercado took over for Brandenburg and was…

The atmosphere inside Jane Sanders Stadium was electric and boisterous for Game Two between the Oregon Ducks and the California Golden Bears of Berkeley. The Ducks were looking to bounce back from a disappointing 11-2 loss on Friday evening, in which they were able to do so as Oregon was able to hold on and take the victory by the final score of 8-6. Four of Oregon's eight runs came on wild pitches, while Cal starter and only pitcher of the game Haylei Archer threw a total of seven wild pitches. Archer went the distance for Cal, tallying an astonishing 146 pitches thrown in the game.

On the mound and getting the start for Oregon was Freshman Stevie Hansen, who has really become the star in the Ducks' pitching staff this season. Hansen pitched the first four innings while giving up three earned runs, all of which were solo home runs. Fifth year Senior Jordan Dail then took over the circle for the Ducks in the fifth, but…

The Oregon Baseball team was riding high after a five game win streak, but timely Trojan hitting and poor execution of the Oregon pitching staff allowed USC to come away with a victory, 6-5. Oregon had righty Isaac Ayon on the bump, and he began the day hot, striking out four in his first three innings without allowing a run. However, his offspeed pitches began to falter, and that coupled with a lack of fastball location to allow the Trojans to climb back into the game. In the end, Matt Dallas plunked a batter with the bases loaded and the game tied to give USC a lead they would not let slip.

Oregon's offense looked good from the beginning, as a second inning Anthony Hall home run gave the Ducks an early lead. After struggling early in the season, Hall has picked it up, going 9-21 with all three of his home runs coming in the past six games. He finished the day 1-4, but had good at bats in each of them.…

Blue and sunny skies set the backdrop over PK Park for Game One of a three-game weekend set between the Oregon Ducks and the USC Trojans, who were 13-6 going into Friday's game. The Ducks came into the game on a four-game winning streak after sweeping Utah last weekend, and going to Spokane and defeating the 23rd ranked Gonzaga Bulldogs on Tuesday. Oregon was able to extend that streak to five straight on Friday evening with a 9-7 victory over the Trojans. The Ducks' red hot offense continued to barrel up the ball as they tallied 15 more hits in this game, which now makes it ten consecutive games where the Ducks have mounted double-digit hits in a single contest.

In this one, Freshman Jacob Walsh led the way going 3-5 at the dish, including an RBI single in the bottom of the 4th inning. The power continued as well for Oregon as Sophomore Josh Kasevich opened up the scoring in the bottom of the 1st with a three-run home…
