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…

After a 15-hour break, Oregon and Cal resumed the rained-out game early Saturday morning. Oregon was up 1-0 and picked up where they left off before the rain delay. The Ducks slugged two home runs and tallied six hits en route to a 4-0 win over the Bears in game two of the series.

Game three was played to a different tune as Cal plated five runs in the opening frame of the game. All five runs were unearned because Jasmine Sievers and Rachel Cid accumulated two errors to allow those runners to reach base or score. Zoe Conley and Kamalani Dung held Oregon scoreless through the first five innings, but the Duck-bats came alive in the sixth inning when they tallied two two-out runs to come within three runs. Shaye Bowden opened the seventh with a solo home run, but Conley retired the next two batters. With two outs, Hannah Galey drew a walk and Lexi Wagner singled, providing Haley Cruse with a prime opportunity to tie the game or give her team the win. Unfortunately for the…

Oregon Women's Lacrosse lost the last regular season home game and senior night 14-8 against #23 CU Boulder Friday night at Pape Field. Sophomore Lillian Stump lead the way for Oregon with 5 goals and 1 assists. Senior Shannon Williams factored in on 3 of Stump's goals and finished with 1 goal and 3 assists.

Colorado displayed why they are one of the best teams in the Pac-12 as Samantha Nemirov spearheaded the offense with 4 goals and 1 assist. She now sits at 41 goals and teammate Miranda Stinson added 2 goals to her Pac-12 leading 53 on the season.

The Ducks battled the Buffs hard in the first half which was capped off with a Stump last second goal to bring the score to 7-4 before half time. Stump would add 2 more goals and Jamie Level would add one as well to close the gap to 8-7.

Colorado would run away with the score with a 6-1 goal run to end the game. Rachel Hall was bombarded with 37 shots attempted and 24 landing on goal. Hall adds to her…

After dropping the first of a three-game series, Oregon (22-15, 7-7 Pac-12) was looking to snag one back from the Stanford Cardinal (26-6, 12-2 Pac-12). Unfortunately for the Ducks, poor pitching lead to a disastrous game that ended in a 20-5 loss. Cole Stringer (5.90 ERA) took the mound for Oregon but looked cold early, as he gave up five runs to start the game. However, once Stringer escaped the first, he found his groove and put the next six batters down in order.

For the other side, Stanford’s Will Matthiessen (3.62 ERA) picked his batters for five innings, only allowing two hits and a single run to Gabe Matthews off a solo home run. Though Matthiessen had four walks, he made sure the Ducks were unable to find solid contact all game.

Stanford truly won the game in the fifth inning, where the lead was extended to nine. An easy out opportunity could have gotten the Ducks off the field with only two runs allowed, but an error allowed two more runners in. With…

6:45 Lineup Previews Ahead of First Pitch

The Oregon Ducks(22-14, 7-6 Pac-12) came into Thursday's game looking to steal one away from the #2 ranked Stanford Cardinal(25-6, 11-2 Pac-12); instead they drop the first game of the series 5-4. Oregon might have had a chance to win the game had a Jonny DeLuca ground rule double in the first inning not hopped the fence, preventing the runner rounding third from scoring. That extra run would prove to be the difference in this game.

Starting pitcher Cullen Kafka(5.03 ERA) started out strong, only allowing 2 runs through his first five innings. However, as his start wore on he became obviously fatigued, losing almost 10 mph off his fastball, and in the sixth inning he would cough up 3 runs; 2 of which were from home runs. Once the bullpen came in for Kafka, it was lights out pitching, as no hits were allowed and only one player reached base for Stanford over the final 3.1 innings.

Offensively, Sam Novitske was the obvious star of the game, putting together his…
