Opening day for the Oregon Ducks baseball program(1-0) was an exciting start for the 2023 campaign, winning a 3-2 nail biter over the Xavier Musketeers with a walk off sacrifice fly by transfer outfielder Owen Diodati. He also happened to hit a walk off against Xavier last season in the first game of the season while a member of the Alabama Crimson Tide, so he is no doubt a heel in that Musketeers dugout. Scoring the winning run was another newcomer in Rikuu Nishida, who had laced a single to start off the inning and got to third by way of consecutive walks.

While many preseason pundits were more excited about this teams offense, it was the pitching staff that got the Ducks in a position to win when the lineup struggled during the middle innings. Starting the game was righty Logan Mercado, who pitched 4 innings with only 1 earned run while striking out a career high of 7 and walking 2. Following that up was another righty in…

By Charles Martindale Spring is coming in Eugene, and while the weather still needs some time to catch on, Oregon returning to action at PK Park is another good way to tell. This weekend, the 20th ranked Ducks host the Xavier Musketeers, looking to build forward after a solid 2022 season. Oregon has yet to finish below .500 in the 2020’s, a solid achievement in a historically competitive Pac-12, and the outlook this season remains the same. The Ducks are a strong and proud program with plenty to be happy about, but whether they break into a tier higher this year remains to be seen. Oregon lost Josh Kasevich to the draft, but keeps the bare bones of their core from last year. The Ducks also welcome international additions Sabin Ceballos from Puerto Rico and Rikuu Nishida from Japan, who have already been tested in key roles through the Duck’s 20 intersquad games. Nishida’s speed and bat to ball skills make him a candidate to lead off throughout the year, and… Read More

Eugene, OR – The Morse Center is set to present four games rife with Cascade Collegiate Conference playoff consequences, as the Bushnell men’s and women’s basketball teams face off against Oregon Tech on Friday and Southern Oregon on Saturday. The two-game homestand will serve as the conclusion to the regular season for both Beacons’ squads. For head coach Chad Meadors and the women, the weekend is a chance to lock down one more home game in the CCC playoffs by finishing in 4th place. On the flip side, if head coach Eddie Alexander and the men get a win or Multnomah loses once this weekend, they will clinch a postseason berth. For both squads Saturday will be Senior Night, where six Beacons will be honored before their games. Here is all the information you need ahead of a jam-packed weekend for Bushnell basketball.

Eugene, OR-- After a 3-2 weekend in Puerto Vallarta, the Ducks will head down to Southern California to face a trio of teams in Utah Valley, UC Riverside, Loyola Marymount, and San Diego State. While Utah Valley, UC Riverside, and Loyola Marymount have all started a little slower, SDSU will be Oregon’s toughest test this weekend. With five games in three days, pitching depth will be tested for every squad and it will be a good way to gauge where each team is at with another handful of games under their belt.
