BSB | Oregon Defeats UCLA with Timely Hitting Offensively and Support on Defense

By Elizabeth Dunning

EUGENE, OR - To kick off Pac-12 conference play, the Oregon Ducks (9-3, 1-0 P12) faced off against the #13 UCLA Bruins (10-3, 0-1 P12), taking game one 6-2. Heading into the series, the Ducks are fresh out of a USD sweep from last weekend's match up with the Toreros. The Bruins flew up to Eugene after going 4-0 last week in the Southern California Baseball Classic and beating Long Beach State on Tuesday.

Junior RHP, Jake Brooks, took the mound for the Bruins with a 4.30 ERA going into the game. The Ducks' offense came out strong, with Ducks striking first. That run was the first first-inning run UCLA has given up all season. For the Ducks, another junior righty took the mound with Jace Stoffal starting. Jace's pitch count rose over his limit in the 4 innings he pitch, passing his set max of 85 pitches. A phenomenal outing for Stoffal with him breaking his personal record of 4 Ks in a game, with a whopping 9 Ks during his…

SB Preview: #19 Oregon visits Washington for top 25 clash to kick off conference play

By: Ian Sutliff

Eugene, OR-- On Friday, the Oregon Ducks will head to Seattle to face the Washington Huskies for a three-game set before facing the University of Seattle on Monday. It will be a good test for both squads after playing some really solid softball to start the season (the two teams have combined for a 34-7 record so far). Washington was ranked 11th in the latest polls but are not as battle tested as the Ducks who faced a gauntlet of top-25 schools in the Mary Nutter classic. It will be an entertaining weekend to say the least for two of the elite squads in college softball.

Oregon:

After a so-so opening weekend in Puerto Vallarta, it was fair to wonder if the Ducks, who were a fringe top-25 team at the time, would be ready for a tough rest of the season schedule. Since that 3-2 start to the season, Oregon has gone 13-2 and has knocked off elite squads like Florida, Missouri, Northwestern, as well as dominant showings in…

BSB STORY: Bullpen Arms, Nishida's Blast Lead Ducks to Sweep of Toreros

by Austin Ota

EUGENE, OR - For the fourth time this weekend, the Oregon baseball team sent the visiting University of San Diego Toreros with a new loss on their schedule, as they finished the series with a 5-1 victory.

Freshmen Matthew Grabmann and Austin Anderson combined for five innings of one-run ball before a rain delay-turned snow delay forced Anderson to exit abruptly. The trio of Freshmen Dylan McShane and Ian Umlandt, as well as veteran Matt Dallas, held the Toreros scoreless through the seventh. Ending the day on the bump, Ducks closer Josh Mollerus pitched a nearly flawless eighth and ninth, even with the game not being a true save situation.

Head Coach Mark Wasikowski has continued to mention the different combinatorics he has at his lineup disposal, yet he featured the same nine as the game prior. One name he praised was sophomore backup catcher Bennett Thompson, whose steady presence and leadership behind the plate has garnered positive…

Bats shines as Bushnell sweeps doubleheader

By Robert O'Reilly

The Bushnell Beacons beat the Corban Warriors 8-5 in game one and 11-6 in game two of their second doubleheader in two days in Springfield.

Leadoff batter and shortstop Ethan Stacy went 4-for-6 with two walks, three RBIs, and six runs (scoring in each plate appearance in game 2) on the day. Third basemen Cayden Delozier had a great start to the day, ripping two doubles in his first two at bats of the game. Continuing his great walk-off form from yesterday, Jacob Stoner found himself on the base path very often today, getting on base five times and scoring three times. DH Jeff Fripp also shined today with a 4-for-8 performance with a walk, 6 RBIs, and a run scored. Despite the offensive beatdowns, the biggest standouts today was Bushnell’s starting pitchers, Ethan Paulson and Adam Sabatino.

Paulson had a difficult first two outings this season, holding a 13.50 era, but his form drastically improved after 5 innings with four hits…
