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…

BSB STORY: Pace's Impressive Start, Bats Clicking Send Ducks to Series Win

Written Story by John Evans

Eugene, OR - The Oregon Ducks faced off against the University of San Diego Toreros in the third game of a four-game series. After winning the first two games on Thursday and Friday, the Ducks looked to follow up with another win in order to clinch the series victory. Oregon was led by freshman Jackson Pace, making his second start and third appearance on the mound of the year. Starting for the Toreros was righty Garrett Rennie, who had posted a 0.75 ERA in his first two starts this season.

Pace had the best start of his young career so far, not allowing any runs across six strong innings, and striking out two batters in the process. While the strikeout numbers from his other appearances were not there today, Pace was able to limit the Toreros to weak contact, and with a strong defensive performance behind him, keep them scoreless as well.

Pace was followed by fellow freshmen Grayson Grinsell, Dylan McShane…

MBB Story: Oregon Men's Basketball narrowly beats Stanford in a close-scoring game

By: Jasmine Saboorian

Today’s Oregon Men’s basketball game against Stanford at Matthew Knight Arena started off with a Stanford lead that the Ducks were not expecting. For the first 3 minutes, the Ducks missed multiple attempts at scoring and the Cardinals accumulated an 8-0 lead. Nate Bittle broke the streak for the Ducks with a 3-point jumper. From there on, the Ducks’ scoring went up and up at an impressive rate. Although Stanford did have a lead to begin with, their handles with the ball in the first half were quite questionable. At 15:12, Stanford’s Michael O’Connell lost the ball and gave the Ducks possession. This lostball turnover sent MKA into a frenzy after suffering an 8-point lead by Stanford with 0 points. 

The Ducks slowly started creeping up to the Cardinals’ lead once Jermaine Couisnard ensues cheers around MKA with a second-chance jumper at 12:05 that gives the Ducks more hope for the remainder of the first half. What really gave…

SB: Oregon Takes on SJ State and LMU in Day 3 of Judi Garman Classic

By Charles Martindale Friday was a mixed bag for the Ducks, who were held to just one run by Minnesota in the opener of their doubleheader. It would be just their fourth loss of the year, and would snap a five-game win streak. In the nightcap, Oregon bounced back in a big way, totaling 10 more runs in the first inning against Cal Poly SLO than they had in their previous five. The win brought the Ducks to 3-1 in the Judi Garman classic from Fullerton, CA. Tonight, Oregon takes on both San Jose State and Loyola Marymount university. They play their final game Sunday before returning to Eugene. San Jose State's season got off to a disastrous start last month, opening the year 0-5 by a combined score of 56-2. Since then, the Spartans have gone 6-3 in unranked play, and lost their first game in the Judi Garman classic to Fullerton. Sophomore righty Lacie Ham leads the team in strikeouts and innings pitched, while the inconsistent offense has been provided by freshman… Read More

BSB STORY: Uelman's Strong Start, Smith's Single Walk-Off the Toreros

Written Story by Elizabeth Dunning

Eugene, OR - The Oregon Ducks took on the University of San Diego Toreros in the second of a four game series. The Ducks beat the Torreros in the first game of the series 3-2. Starting on the mound for the Ducks was Freshman Leo Uelmen, a right handed pitcher with a making his third start. For the Torreos, James Sashin with a 3.32 ERA, another righty, started. It was a cold one for fans at PK Park with showers throughout the game.

The Toreros jumped out to a quick lead on a second inning home run from third baseman Will Worthington, though Uelmen would settle in nicely. The freshman finished his day with over five innings and just that lone earned run allowed. Opposing him, Sashin stifled the Ducks through the early part of the game, going two shutout frames before Oregon turned their bats on for three in the third. Taking advantage of some shotty Torero defense, Gavin Grant, Tanner Smith, and Rikuu Nishida…

By Charles Martindale The Oregon softball team won their fifth consecutive game yesterday, beginning the Judi Garman classic in Fullerton, CA with a solid 6-2 victory over Fresno State. It was the Ducks’ 12th win in their last 13 games. Some of the usual producers helped out in the win over the Bulldogs, with K.K. Humphreys collecting a run and an RBI single as Ariel Carlson reached base three times including a home run. Tehya Bird’s three-run double was the defining moment in the Ducks’ 13th win of the 2023 campaign.
