After a tight win over Oregon State on Sunday, the Ducks(26-24, 9-15 Pac-12) scored early and never lost the lead in their 10-3 Tuesday win over the Gonzaga Bulldogs. Lefty Kolby Somers made the start for Oregon, going 4 innings and allowing 2 earned runs, striking out 4 and walking none. Oregon pitching would only allow one run the rest of the way, showing a marked improvement recently over earlier bullpen struggles in the season. Evan Williams and Jonny DeLuca led the way for an Oregon offense that put double digits on the scoreboard, combining for 3 hits and 4 RBI. The team had big innings in the fifth and sixth innings, putting up crooked numbers in both. The Ducks took advantage in the fifth, piling on some runs after an error from Gonzaga.

The Ducks next game will take place in Los Angeles, taking on USC on May 17th, and they return to Eugene for their final home series against UCLA on May 23rd.

After losing two competitive games to begin the Civil War, Oregon(25-24, 9-15 Pac-12) showed some grit and took home a close 3-2 victory to close out their series against Oregon State(33-15-1,19-5 Pac-12). The game was started by Brett Walker, but the real story on the mound was flamethrower Ryne Nelson, who pitched 6.1 innings in relief to grab his third win of the season, while striking out 12 and allowing only 2 runs. Nelson currently is tied for the Pac-12 lead in strikeouts with 98, albeit with most of his innings coming as a reliever. Another stud for the game was Spencer Steer, who continued his series-long dominance of the Beavers, going 2 for 2 with two walks, reaching base in all of his at bats and hitting a double for the third straight game. On the series, he brought in 5 of the team's 8 total runs, carrying the offense every time he stepped up to the plate.

Oregon soccer wrapped up their spring preseason on Saturday against the rival Oregon State Beavers with a 1 to 1 tie. Though just a preseason game, it was apparent that to the players on the field it was still a Civil War. Both teams played a hard and physical game for 90 minutes, trying desperately to get ahead of one another.

Zoe Hasenauer got the Ducks up early with a shifty move in the box, and a shot that the aggressive Beaver goalie Emma Dean could only get a piece of. Though Oregon had their inter-state rivals on their heels for the entirety of the first half, Hasenauer’s shot would be the only one to beat Dean.

Although the Ducks came away with just a single goal despite a great first-half performance, Head Coach Kat Mertz recognizes that the incoming Freshman will continue to prove their worth throughout the season. It’s a young team with high expectations, and the Ducks look to bring their impressive spring performance to the regular season.

Game two of the Civil War went about as well as game one for Oregon(24-24, 8-15 Pac 12), with the Ducks losing by three once again in an 8-5 contest against Oregon State(33-14-1, 19-4 Pac 12), who now take the top spot in the conference. Early pitching struggles from Cullen Kafka and offensive woes from most of the lineup proved to be the deciding factors in this game. Kafka would not start off well, giving up three runs in the first inning, and would be pulled after 2.1 IP having given up 5 earned runs. The relievers would only allow one earned run the rest of the way, with lefty Nico Tellache putting up three consecutive 1-2-3 innings to finish for the Ducks. But even though the team put up 5 runs, it was the Novitske-Smith-Steer show today, as they would combine for 7 of the team's 8 hits and drive in 4 of the 5 runs. Spencer Steer has almost single handedly kept this team offense afloat so far this series, accounting for 4 of the team's 6 runs, and going 5 for 8 with 2 doubles…
