Ducks Softball Continues Action in Judi Garman Classic:

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. Today, 20th ranked Oregon plays their first of back to back doubleheaders, facing off against the 8-6 University of Minnesota and the 6-4 Cal Poly SLO Mustangs. Minnesota is led by sophomore catcher Taylor Krapf, who took home Big 10 player of the week honors last weekend. Freshman Jess Oakland has made waves early this season as well, hitting .326 with a trio of home runs to begin her collegiate career. Senior righty Autumn Pease is 4-3 with seven… Read More

BSB PREVIEW: Bushnell Looks to Continue Strong Start to Season With 4-Game Series Against Corban

By Liam Baker

Eugene, Ore. — After splitting a four-game series against the University of British Columbia, the Bushnell Beacons (6-4) will try and build on a solid start to the season as they take on the Corban University Warriors (3-8) this weekend. The Beacons took the middle two games of the series against UBC, highlighted by a 10-0 run-rule victory in game 2. In that victory, Noah Montoya led the way with 4 RBIs and Alec Gums (2-1) dominated from the mound, giving up just 3 hits in five innings. Jeff Fripp also had a productive weekend from the plate, going 7-14 with 4 RBIs. The Warriors recently got swept by Oregon Tech and the Beacons will be looking to unload their potent offense against a Corban team struggling to get outs.

Bushnell Beacons
The Beacons' offense ranks third in the Cascade Collegiate Conference in batting average (.295) and has reached double digits in scoring already three times this season. Their offense is led by…

Ducks Ride the Back of Strong Pitching Performance, beat Toreros 3-2

By Aiden Hess

EUGENE, Ore – Oregon Baseball began a four game series with the University of San Diego Toreros on a much better note than they did a year ago. Last season, the Ducks traveled to La Jolla, CA where they were defeated in three out of the four games in their tangle with the Toreros. However, the Ducks were able to flip the script at home with a narrow 3-2 win on Thursday afternoon at PK Park.

Jace Stoffal got the start on the mound for Oregon and was effective in his five innings of work earning his first win on the young season. The game did not start out ideal for Stoffal and the Ducks as USD left fielder Jack Costello ripped a solo homerun down the left field line to put San Diego on top 1-0 in the first. That would be the only run Stoffal allowed in his outing as he settled down to strike out four batters and only gave up one hit following the homer.

The Ducks offense was finally able to dent the scoreboard in…

Oregon looks to bounce back against San Diego after three-game sweep

By: Ian Sutliff

Eugene, OR-- After a sharp opening weekend with Xavier to get the season started, the Ducks followed up with a disappointing sweep in a surprise home series with UC Santa Barbara last weekend. Now Oregon will look to bounce back as they start a four game series against San Diego after dropping out of the latest rankings. On the other hand, the Toreros have been great so far this season and their only loss was to UC Irvine on Monday. San Diego’s success has come mainly from its offense this season as the team has averaged over nine runs per game over this 5-1-1 span. This will easily be one of the toughest tests for an Oregon squad who has struggled to put up runs at times this season.

Oregon:

One of the biggest strengths for this Ducks squad last year was the offense and the ability to keep the team in ball games behind an inconsistent pitching staff. Over the first two series though, Oregon is batting just .202 as…

Oregon Softball Begins Longest Road Trip of 2023 Season:

By Charles Martindale Ducks softball returns to Southern California for the second straight week, this time heading to Fullerton for the Judi Garman classic. It’s been a promising start to the season for the Ducks, who sit at 12-3 with 11 wins in their last 12 games. Last weekend’s Mary Nutter classic saw Oregon drop the opener to CSU Fullerton before taking the following four games, including close wins over Northwestern and UC San Diego. Their opponents in the Judi Garman classic include Fresno State, Cal Poly SLO, San Jose State, Loyola Marymount University, and Long Beach state. Despite the solid beginning to the year, the Ducks are still sixth in a strong Pac-12 conference, and look to take some steps further with their games this week. On the offensive side, fifth year infielder Allee Bunker has been a driving force, leading the team in OPS and home runs while her .333 average trails only Kyla Morris. Behind the plate, the experienced Terra McGowan leads the… Read More
