The University of Oregon Ducks hosted the USC Trojans today in the first three-game series at PK Park. The Ducks are coming off momentum after winning Wednesday's game against Sacramento State 11-4. Ian Umlandt’s seven innings on the mound helped propel the Ducks to the victory splitting the mid-week series at one apiece. 

The Trojans started strong with Jacob Galloway earning the first run of the game putting the Trojans up 1-0. The Ducks responded in the second inning with Jefferyeard earning a run off of a passed ball to tie the game. In the third inning, Bryce Boettcher gave Oregon another run to give the lead 2-1. The fourth inning saw more ducks magic as Anson Arroz secured a run of a Meggers hit. The next three innings were scoreless for both teams. Then Boettcher earned another run putting Oregon a 4-1 lead. 

RJ Gordon Pitched for eight innings while only allowing one run, making this by far his…

This weekend, the Oregon baseball team will look to build off their recent success against a Pac-12 opponent, the University of Southern California Trojans. The Ducks will host the Trojans inside PK Park in a three game series from Friday to Sunday, after Sacramento State split a series with the Ducks, 1-1. With the race to the top of the Pac-12 on the line, Oregon needs to utilize their weapons to stay ahead of USC.

Oregon’s Previous Success

Oregon first baseman Jacob Walsh was on a hot streak last game against Sacramento State, hitting two of Oregon’s four home runs to help the Ducks win 11-4. Walsh already broke the Oregon career home run record against UCLA, and the Ducks are counting on him to continue this recent success. Home runs from Dominic Hellman and Bennett Thompson also contributed to the team’s win.

The Bushnell Beacons (9-26, 3-15 CCC) will host the Corban Warriors (1-35, 0-18 CCC) in a four-game softball series at home in Springfield, Oregon this weekend. The Beacons are coming off their first tied series of conference play against Providence last weekend and are looking to continue their momentum against a Warriors team that has not won since February 12 and has lost each of their last eight games by seven runs or more.

Bushnell Beacons:

The Beacons enter this series with the most momentum since they entered conference play. After splitting a series with Providence, they enter this series having won three of their last five games and with their ace pitcher Emily Cole on fire. Cole has pitched 25 innings in the last five games; in that span, she’s allowed just three earned runs, including only two in her last three starts, all complete games. She recorded her first career shutout in the first game against…

EUGENE, Ore -- The Oregon Ducks (13-10, 2-3) went 1-1 this past weekend against two ranked teams in UCLA and USC. They will be looking to sweep the Washington Huskies (8-11, 2-3) on Saturday. The Ducks looked great against both Californian teams. No. 1 Singles Player (No. 76 Nationally) Quinn VanDeCasteele took down UCLA No. 26 Govind Nanda in a three set thriller. No. 3 Vlad Breazu has been playing up and he took down USC No. 2 Volodymyr Iakubenko in a comeback down a set. The Huskies had the same opponents this past weekend and got clean swept by UCLA 4-0. However, the score does not tell the tale as there were three unfinished matches that the Huskies were leading. The Huskies are led by Junior Cesar Bouchelaghem. Bouchelaghem is not to be underestimated as he has defeated VanDeCasteele in their previous match earlier the year. It was dominant performance and Bouchelaghem handled it 6-3 and 6-4 and the Ducks won 4-2. This match, once again, will not…

No. 17 Oregon baseball (23-9) finished their two game home series against the Sacramento State Hornets (15-20) with an 11-4 win Wednesday evening. It was a complete performance and a convincing win that made up for a disappointing loss the day prior.

Early Offense Sets the Tone

Oregon got out to a 4-0 lead after one inning — a lead they would never give up. It started with a Bennett Thompson RBI single, followed by a two-run homer from Jacob Walsh — now the program’s all-time home run king — and a Dominic Hellman solo shot. That inning was enough to knock Hornets starter Jaxon Byrd out of the game, but the barrage didn’t stop there. Walsh would hit another three-run bomb in the second inning to bring him to 5 RBI on the day and 12 home runs on the season.

The Ducks were kept off the board in innings 3 through 5, but Thompson would deliver in the sixth with a two-run homer. He took the day off from his usual catching…

SPRINGFIELD, Ore – With the baseball season more than half way through, all eyes are on the upcoming matchup between the Bushnell Beacons and Corban Warriors. With Bushnell (19-18, 6-6 CCC) looking to put a jolt into the season and Corban (9-28, 4-8 CCC) looking to revive an already underwhelming season, the matchup between Bushnell and Corban promises to be an exciting one this weekend. With each team bringing their unique strengths to the table, Beacon fans can expect an intense and competitive showdown between these two.

With both offenses coming off high scoring series with very different results, it will be interesting to see how both teams respond heading into the weekend. After Bushnell got swept this past series by the University of British Columbia, it will be a real test to see how the pitching staff can come back and fortify a game and give the offense a lead going into the later innings.

With all that, the Corban Warriors…
