The Ducks opened up their home season with a 4 game series vs Lafayette this weekend at PK Park. After the Ducks had everyone in the lineup record a hit last night they were able to claim the first game for 4 by a score of 17-3. Both teams met back up today in sunny Eugene for a double header in which Oregon were able to control a good portion of.

In the first game of the day the Ducks came out flying as leadoff batter Justin Cassella drove a big shot out for a lead off HR. The offense didn’t slow there however as Oregon had two 6 run innings in the 3rd and 5th. The latter of which was capped off by Cassella’s second HR of the night this time being a 3 run shot giving him 5 total RBI’s on the night.

SPRINGFIELD, Ore. — Bushnell Baseball lost games 3 and 4 of their home-opening series against the University of British Columbia Thunderbirds Saturday, falling 9-2 in the first game of the day and 6-5 in the next. UBC won the series three games to one.

The Beacons got solid starts from both of their starters. Nate Rasmussen went five innings deep in game 3, giving up two hits and no walks while recording two strikeouts and allowing one run on a second inning balk. Meanwhile, Jordan Wilson got the scoring started for the Beacons with a solo shot to the scoreboard in the fourth inning.

But things fell apart when the Beacons went to their bullpen. Alec Gums relieved Rasmussen to start the sixth but didn't get out of the frame, allowing a walk, a double and a Trent Lenihan two-RBI single before exiting and recording his second loss of the season.

Cade Crist scored on a Brendan Frazier sac fly to cut the deficit to one run in…

The Ducks displayed dominance on the mound and in the lineup, cruising to a 17-3 victory over Lafayette in game 1 of the series. The last time Oregon played at PK Park, their run at a College World Series was terminated by Oral Roberts. This time around, the Ducks had full control from the start, scoring in every inning and limiting offense opportunities for the Leopards.  

Every starter in the lineup got a hit and multiple players had more than one RBI. Veteran Jacob Walsh led the offense with 2 hits and 3 RBIs. One of those hits was a home run and the first home run of the season for Oregon. It didn’t take long for the Ducks’ second home run to occur. Newcomer, Ryan Cooney launched a solo shot in the fifth inning and was his collegiate career home run. Chase Meggers, who didn’t get an a-bat last weekend, made use of his opportunity in the lineup today. Meggers had only…
