EUGENE, OR – Just about sixteen hours after the Oregon Ducks (No. 25, 20-9)  saw their modern program-long winning streak come to an end, one of the streakiest teams in the nation tried to start a new one against their rival Oregon State Beavers (NR, 20-11). It’s been the story of Oregon’s season thus far – the Ducks sandwiched a four game losing streak between five and eleven game streaks and exit Rivalry Weekend dropping their last two. A bullpen day was able to stifle Oregon’s hefty offense and quiet the Ducks, 12-2.

Oregon’s designated Sunday starter, Leo Uelmen, has been notably shaky at the back end of the rotation and struggled again against the Beavers. The walks have killed Uelmen all year. Uelmen only lasted an inning and walked a trio of Beavers while a 468-foot grand slam by catcher Wilson Weber was more than enough for Mark Wasikowski to end his starters’ day prematurely. In all fairness, Oregon…

The Oregon Ducks dropped the second of their weekend game series against the Oregon State Beavers on Saturday by a score of 4-2. In a game where a few bats made the difference, Ducks starting pitcher Logan Mercado had a respectable outing after a rough last time out in his five innings pitched. 

The day started out scoreless for the first two innings for both teams as pitching came out hot. The Ducks got on the board first with Rikuu Nishida knocking an RBI single through to score Dominic Hellman in the bottom of the 3rd inning. The Ducks would score again in the inning on a 2-out RBI double by shortstop Drew Cowley, bringing home Nishida and making it 2-0 Oregon after the 3rd inning. The Beavers would respond as Brady Kasper smacked a solo home run in the top of the 4th, trimming Oregon's lead to one. That score would remain for two whole innings until designated hitter Micah McDowell made the biggest play of the night, launching a 3-…

It was nothing short of an intense Friday night game in PK Park. Oregon was back in Eugene, riding a ten game win streak, looking to keep it going against in-state rivals Oregon State. The Ducks won the game 2-0. 

Unlike the past ten games during the winning streak, the offense was not really present in friday's win, but the pitching found their stride. Jace Stoffal got the start, and had nothing short of an incredible outing. He finished the game with a final stat line of seven innings pitched, one hit, no earned runs, and nine strikeouts. Stoffal had a no-hitter going into the seventh but gave up a single before getting into a bases-loaded jam. He would escape the inning off of back to back strikeouts. Matt Dallas came in the eighth inning, but would only face three batters before Josh Mollerus closed out the game, getting the four out save.

As for the offense, the Ducks lone two runs came in the fifth…

The No. 18 Ducks rode a one-hit complete game shutout from Morgan Scott to a 9-0 victory over the Ohio Valley's Lindenwood Lions Thursday afternoon. Either Stevie Hansen or Raegan Breedlove will take the field for the backend of the two-game series Friday evening, as Oregon looks to maintain momentum heading into the final month of the regular season.

Allee Bunker, the team's heart and soul, has been on a tear as of late. She had 3 singles with 3 RBI out of her 4 at bats as the cleanup hitter Thursday, bumping her batting average over .400. She's cemented herself as one of the best hitters Jane Sanders Stadium has ever seen, recently passing her own coach, Nikki Ragin, for second on the Ducks' all-time hits leaderboard. She is backed up in the batting lineup by catcher Terra McGowan, who sports a .309 average while leading the team in home runs.

No one in the Lions' dugout was able to get going in the first game of the series. That's nothing new for a team who…

The Oregon Ducks (3-7) hope to end a five-game losing streak against the UC Davis Aggies (7-3). The Ducks are coming off of a hard-fought 14-15 loss to Colorado (5-5), but look to bounce back in non-conference play. UC Davis is coming in this Saturday off of a 3-game winning streak with their most recent victory against Duquesne in Pittsburgh on March 29th.

Oregon 

It has been a rough season for the Ducks since their game against California on March 17th. They have been unable to convert a win since then, and are hoping to get back to winning ways quickly. Albeit their last loss was in overtime and ended 14-15, a game this close is a step in the right direction. Attacker Gabby Cleveland was consistent, scoring 5 goals, with 4 of them being unassisted. Cleveland has contributed to the Oregon Ducks’ overall 27.8 shots per game this season, with 71.2% of the team’s shots being on goal. Cleveland…

The Oregon Ducks entered their conference bye-week with hopes of picking up a couple wins and maybe gaining some confidence. In their first of two games against the 13-18 Lindenwood Lions, Oregon picked up a relatively easy 8-0 win to improve to 24-11 on the season. In the first couple of innings, both teams struggled to generate much offense. Oregon pitcher Morgan Scott was lights out in the first inning, but their offense was unable to capitalize. She had a strong second inning to keep the game in Oregon’s control before senior Ariel Carlson was able to open up scoring in the bottom half. The Ducks defense shut down the Lions’ offense once again in the top of the 3rd, and senior Allee Bunker picked up an RBI in the bottom to extend their lead to 2-0. 

While the outcome was never in doubt, the bottom of the 4th is when the Ducks were able to blow the game wide open. Oregon spent much of the half-inning with a runner on…
