SB Mega Preview: Ducks head to Stillwater for Super Regional with trip to College World Series on the line

By: Ian Sutliff

Eugene, OR-- After a stunning victory over Arkansas in the Fayatteville regional, Melyssa Lombardi and her team will focus their attention on Oklahoma State as they travel to Stillwater for the super regional starting Thursday at 6 P.M. Both teams won their regionals without facing elimination and after rough dissapointing ends to their regular seasons, the Ducks and Cowgirls are just two wins away from heading to the College World Series. Last time out the Cowgirls took down the Ducks in Puerto Vallarta in the opening week of the season, but since then the two squads have played over 100 combined games. With Oregon searching for its first CWS appearance since 2018, it’ll have to get past a strong veteran-led Oklahoma State group who is looking to make its fourth straight trip to Oklahoma City. This article has you covered for everything you need to know about the Stillwater super regional.

SB Preview: Ducks Head to Fayetteville for the Second Straight Year of Regionals

By John Evans

FAYETTEVILLE, AR - This Friday, #19 Oregon will head down south to Fayetteville, Arkansas for the regional round of the 2023 Women’s College World Series. This is the Ducks’ 23rd appearance in the Women’s College World Series and the second straight year they will head to a regional hosted by the Arkansas Razorbacks, the top seed in the region and the #13 team in the country. Also in the Ducks’ group are the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Harvard Crimson. Oregon’s first game will take place at 2 p.m. on Friday, where they face off against Notre Dame, the #3 seed in the region. Then, depending on the results of Friday’s games, they will either play Arkansas or Harvard on Saturday. You can tune in to every game on KWVA, 88.1 FM, where Knight Jarecki will be on the call live from Fayetteville, or catch the Ducks on ESPN 2 for Friday’s game against Notre Dame.

Oregon looks to rebound from sweep in final weekend of conference play

By: Ian Sutliff

Eugene, OR-- It’s been tough going for the Ducks lately, with Oregon losing seven of their last eight. With Utah on slate in Salt Lake City, Oregon will need to change their fortune quickly as the Utes rank last in the PAC-12 with a 8-18-1 record in conference play. With Jace Stoffal still potentially sidelined as the series starts, Logan Mercado will get the ball for Thursday’s series opener. 

Oregon:

The problem for the Ducks over the last two weeks hasn’t been the offense. Over the last eight games, Oregon is averaging 5.4 runs per game. It’s a modest number, but it is by no means a mark of a struggling offense. Over the weekend, Oregon pitching allowed 43 runs over three games which was the most since 2019. The bullpen struggled and starting pitching had a combined ERA of 25.58 in just 6 ⅓ innings. Jackson Pace was a big contributor of that number as the freshman failed to record an out on Saturday while…
