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

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. 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

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…

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…
