Oregon Baseball Sweeps Series Against Nevada with 9-1 win on Sunday

By Jonah Rosenberg

The Oregon Ducks (3-4) defeated the Nevada Wolfpack (0-6) by a score of 9-1 at home on Sunday.

Ducks Erase Early 2 Run Deficit, Win Second Game in a Row (3-2) Against Wolfpack

Written by: Sam Greenville

Oregon was able to grab their second victory of the season today at PK Park in the second game against the University of Nevada Reno Wolfpack. It looked like the Wolfpack were going to notch their first win of the season but following a two run double by Aaron Zavala in the 6th, the Ducks would take the 3-2 lead and ride it the rest of the way for their second consecutive victory. The Ducks took advantage of a routine pop fly error, followed by a walk to score the tying and winning runs. Zavala on his thought process at the plate said “It’s sort of a cliche mindset, but not worrying about the situation and just trying to do what you can for the team.” Nevada starting pitcher Jake Jackson would receive the loss in the stat column, however pitching 7 strong innings giving up three runs (one being earned). Wiley Tilley would be the lone member of the Wolfpack with an RBI, coming up with two on a double down the left field line to give Nevada Reno…

Ducks Win Home-Opener in 9th (3-2) Against Nevada Reno, First Win of the Season

Written by: Sam Greenville and Scott Wardwell

It was a gorgeous Friday evening in Eugene as the Oregon Ducks faced off against the University of Nevada Reno Wolfpack in a thrilling comeback win in the ninth inning for the Ducks. Pitching drove the narrative for both teams for most of the game, but that narrative quickly changed when the Ducks scored four runs in the final two innings to tie and then win the game. Both clubs came into the evening winless, and it looked like the Wolfpack would be the first to claim a victory but an 8th inning single by Aaaron Zavala, the game would be tied at two a piece going into the ninth. From there Kenyon Yovan would come away being the hero hitting a lightning bolt to score the game winning run in walk-off fashion. Yovan would finish the evening 3-4 while hitting .625 for the season so far. The Wolfpack’s pitching was scorching to start, as Nevada starter Owen Shart pitched 6 strong innings, allowing no runs on just two hits while…

AUDIO: Oregon Faces Final Road Trip of Regular Season

Oregon remains tied atop the Pac-12 standings, but a rough weekend visiting the Arizona schools could see them tumble all the way to sixth place. Oregon has just five regular season games left, and only two games left to try and improve on road woes. Oregon is the only team left standing in the Pac-12 with a perfect conference record at home (6-0) yet they have been falling short on the road with a 3-4 conference record. Head Coach Dana Altman points out that home teams have won 70% of games in the Pac-12 this season, but only a fraction of the Eugene fans will follow Oregon throughout the tournament, and the Ducks need to play more consistent away from home to make noise in the postseason.
