An incredible season for the Oregon Ducks comes to a bitter close losing in game seven of the Eugene regional to LSU 9-8 Monday night. The win-or-go-home game was certainly jam-packed with drama until the last swing of the bat. In the 17-run, 24-hit affair the pair of teams scored in nine of 17 innings with LSU’s three-run eighth the decider in the contest.

Gavin Dugas, who was an issue for Oregon all night long, started the scoring with a two-run blast in the first but it was all Oregon for the next four innings behind an impressive outing from surprise starter Andrew Mosiello and the bats of key Ducks. Oregon played effective small-ball baseball and then Zavala sent the crowd into a frenzy after a deep one over the left-field wall. The Tigers did not let the 5-2 hole deter them, clawing back after another Dugas homerun, Bianco finding his way home on a wild pitch, and then a Bianco bomb to left-center to give LSU a 6-5 lead in the bottom of the sixth. Every inclination…

The LSU Tigers (37-23) will have a chance to upset the Oregon Ducks (39-15) in the Eugene Regional on Monday night after keeping Oregon's hot offense at bay in a 4-1 win on Sunday night. Using a committee approach on the hill, LSU's Trent Vietmeier, Javen Coleman and Devin Fontenot only gave up four hits. Oregon's lone tally came on a Kenyon Yovan sacrifice fly in the third inning off of Coleman, who went a career high six innings.

The Tigers were carried on offense by two of their stars, outfielders Dylan Crews and Gavin Dugas, who went a combined 6 for 7 at the dish. Dugas finished a single shy of a cycle while Crews went 3 for 3 and slugged his 15th home run of the season.

Ducks scored 4 runs in the first inning and did not look back as they went on to defeat the #2 seed Gonzaga Bulldogs 7-3 to advance to the Eugene Regional Championship tomorrow.

It only took 2 runs of production for the Ducks to put up 7 runs. They put up the aforementioned 4 spot in the first and then a 3 spot in the fourth inning with a Zavala RBI double and a 2 run blast from Gabe Matthews.

The Ducks starting pitcher Robert Ahlstrom was yet again the victor. He went 8 innings, giving 7 hits for 3 runs (which all came in the third). The Eugene native escaped some early trouble, including a 1 out bases loaded jam in the fifth inning.

Oregon will face the winner of the LSU-Gonzaga rematch tomorrow at 7 pm here at PK Park.

For the first time since 2013 #14 Oregon baseball (38-14) hosted an NCAA regional as they won/loss against Central Connecticut (28-14). The game marked the Ducks first postseason appearance since 2015.

The Ducks got on the board first in the bottom of the first inning when Kenyon Yovan hit a towering blast over the left field wall driving in Tanner Smith to give Oregon an early 2-0 lead.

The next inning resulted in more success for the Ducks as Anthony Hall led off the inning by hitting a laser over the right field fence to extend the lead to 3-0. 2 batters later Jack Scanlon ripped a double down the right field line. Scanlon was then advanced to 3rd on a bunt single by Gavin Grant and scored on a passed ball to give the Ducks a 4-0 lead.

The Blue Devils answered back strong in the top of the 3rd inning scoring a run after hitting 3 straight singles to begin the inning and driving in a run to make the…
