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…

OREGON BSB PREVIEW: Oregon Ducks host Seattle Redhawks in four-game series

By Olivia Mock  

EUGENE, Ore. — This week, the Oregon Ducks (15-7, 6-3 PAC-12) will take a break from conference play and welcome the Seattle University Redhawks (7-16, 3-6 WAC) to Eugene. Starting Wednesday, the two teams will play a four-game series at PK Park.  

Oregon Ducks  

The Ducks come fresh off a 2-1 series victory over Arizona. Outfielder Jeffery Heard and third baseman Carter Garate remain as Oregon’s leading hitters, batting .348 and .350 respectively this season. One of last week’s standouts was outfielder Bryce Bottcher, who had a season-high three RBI and a home run off two hits during Saturday’s game. Additionally, Grayson Grinsell continues to prove himself on the mound, allowing one earned run on just three hits over the 4.2 innings he pitched. While the Ducks outlasted the Wildcats over the series, they’re playing on the heels of a tough 15-4 loss on Sunday. Shifting the infield proved…

OREGON SB PREVIEW: The Oregon Ducks take on Arizona State at home

By Isaac Dubey

In the Ducks’ third series of PAC-12 play, Oregon Softball (16-10, 4-2) will play host to the Arizona State Sun Devils (17-11, 2-4) this weekend in a three-game stint. Last weekend, the Ducks traveled to Salt Lake City and came out of Utah winning two of three matchups In the first one the Ducks scored 20 runs, the most in a game since 2015.

No. 24 Oregon Ducks

Coming into the Utah series, the Ducks struggled to consistently score against quality pitching competition. Scoring 14 runs in three games against Cal to start PAC-12 play was a sign the Ducks’ hitting was trending in the right direction. That was before the scoring onslaught that was last Friday at Salt Lake City in which every Duck in the starting rotation got a hit and eight different Ducks drove in a run. Alyssa Daniell led the way with a career-high three hits, three runs and three RBIs. The Ducks continued their red-hot hitting into the next day and scored…

OREGON BSB PREVIEW: Ducks welcome a tested Wildcats team to PK Park for a three-game series this weekend

By Luke Greco

EUGENE, Ore. — The Oregon Ducks baseball team (13-6, 4-2 Pac-12) will host the Arizona Wildcats (8-10, 3-3 Pac-12) for a three-game series this weekend. The Ducks come into the game off a 2-1 series win over the California Golden Bears.

Oregon Ducks:

The Oregon Ducks will look to continue their hot streak this weekend against the Wildcats. After switching around their infield with Drew Smith at second base (previously the third baseman), Ryan Cooney at shortstop (was at second base) and Carter Garate at third base (was at shortstop) the Ducks have looked much better defensively and it helped propel them to a series win over the Golden Bears. Jefferey Heard and Carter Garate are leading the Ducks in the box batting .375 and .371, respectively, and have a combined 50 total hits, 24 and 26. Grayson Grinsdell has looked amazing for the Ducks so far allowing a .118 BA against him, and in his last outing, he only gave…

BSB STORY | Ducks Win Rubber Match vs. Cal

Audio story by Max Ragel, written story by Ryan Oppenheimer

EUGENE, Ore. — The Oregon Ducks' complete team effort propelled them to a 10-3 win over the California Golden Bears Sunday at PK Park. The Ducks secured a 2-1 series victory, winning two straight by a combined score of 15-4 after losing 13-1 Friday.

Led by Jacob Walsh, the Ducks' offense jumped on Cal starter Tom Mayer early. Walsh drove home four of the Ducks' 10 runs, including a two-run homer in the first inning. He also added a fourth-inning double before scoring on an Anson Aroz double. In what would be a four-run eighth inning, Walsh and Aroz teamed up a second time with towering back-to-back jacks before Ryan Cooney added a homer of his own.

Quinnipiac transfer Kevin Seitter got the start for Oregon, as he usually does on Sundays. He delivered, striking out six in five innings of action while allowing four hits and a walk. His one earned run came in the third inning when his wild…
