The Ducks Go Down 8-0 In 5 Innings To Rival Oregon State
By: Cole Rothman
An impressive 4-1 home stand against UC Berkeley and Portland State has helped the Ducks scrape their way into sixth place in Pac-12 standings. This afternoon, the women in white and green took on the Oregon State Beavers, in game 1 of 3 in their classic rivalry series. The Civil War series is usually drama enough for the Eugene faithful, but today’s game was about more than just bragging rights. Both teams are looking to make a postseason push, and everyone expected a hard fought battle from both side. Today was anything but that. The Beavers were all over Jordan Dail, as they smashed their way to a dominant 8-0, run-rule victory in the 5th inning.
The Ducks managed only 6 hits today, 4 of which came from stellar freshmen, Allee Bunker and Jasmine Sievers. The stat sheets shows an offensive travesty, but a closer look at game film would reveal that the Ducks actually made solid contact for most of the afternoon. Oregon State…

Read MoreBSB | Stanford completes sweep of Ducks with bats and arms
After getting blown out in Friday's game, Oregon(22-16, 7-8 Pac-12) looked downtrodden as they lost the third game of the series 10-0 on Saturday to complete the Stanford(27-6, 13-2 Pac-12) sweep. With the loss, Oregon drops to below .500 in Pac-12 play, certainly not the place the team wants to be at this point in the season.
Starting pitcher Tyler Frazier could not even escape the first inning before being chased from the game. He would finish with five earned runs, while walking three and striking out none. Kolby Somers and Ryne Nelson would pick up the slack for him though, combining for 7.1 innings of three run ball; Nelson especially looked impressive, striking out eight batters over his 3.2 innings while allowing no earned runs of his own. Oregon pitching continued to be hounded by Brandon Wulff, who would be walked three times, and in the ninth inning, he hit one of the longest home runs ever at PK Park, estimated at 440 feet. He finishes the weekend 7-10 with…
