Senior Day Ends with Sweep of Huskies EUGENE, Ore. — By surviving some tense moments in the late innings on Senior Day, the Oregon baseball team kept alive its winning streak entering the final weekend of the regular season. The No. 5 Ducks (38-13, 19-8 Big Ten) took a five-run lead Sunday at PK Park and then held off Washington’s comeback attempt to win for the seventh time in a row, 5-3, before 3,858 fans. Win or lose Sunday, Oregon still would have needed to sweep Iowa next week to have a chance at a conference title, but a win kept the Ducks one game behind second-place UCLA, rather than two. “Us winning three games against Iowa would put us in front of them,” UO coach Mark Wasikowski said. “I don't know how the rest of it shakes out, but that's an awesome place, for us to try to challenge for the league championship in our last weekend of the year.” UO starter Jason Reitz (4-0) gave the Ducks six shutout innings Sunday, and Jaxon Jordan got the final two outs of the eighth with the bases loaded after UW had rallied within 5-3. Mason Neville and Anson Aroz both padded their double-digit home run totals, and catcher Chase Meggers hit his first of the year before throwing out a runner trying to steal second to end the game. “It felt really good,” Meggers said of his homer. “I think the biggest thing was, my mom's here and it's Mother's Day, and I wouldn't be here without her. So it's kind of special to hit that in front of her.” How It Happened: After Reitz pitched around a two-out single in the first, national player of the year candidate Mason Neville extended his UO single-season record by leading off the bottom of the first with his 26th home run of the season. Jason Reitz was superb.... Reitz had to work in the second inning, pitching around two walks. He settled in after that, allowing just two singles over four innings the rest of the way for a scoreless effort with his team in the thick of a conference title race. “The energy is definitely up, but you just got to look at it like a normal game,” said Reitz, who struck out five while walking two and allowing three hits. “Go out and do your thing.” Oregon’s offense backed Reitz in the bottom of the second with three runs. Aroz led off with a solo homer, Maddox Molony followed with a double and then Meggers hit his first home run of the season for a 4-0 lead. With Reitz cruising, the Ducks gave him an insurance run in the fifth. Dominic Hellman led off with a single, Jacob Walsh followed with a base hit and Drew Smith walked to load the bases. Two batters later, Molony lofted a fly ball that scored Hellman on a sacrifice fly. Washington got two back in the seventh after Reitz wrapped up his day, on a double and a one-out home run that made it 5-2. Ryan Featherston came on to retire the next two hitters and end the threat. The Huskies scored again in the eighth, loading the bases with one out and then getting within 5-3 on a wild pitch. A walk loaded the bases again with one out, but Jordan came on to end the inning, striking out the final hitter on a nasty breaking ball with the count full. Jaxon Jordan celebrates a big out... “The most important thing, especially in a situation like that, is just trust your stuff and don't be cautious — just let it go,” Jordan said. “So that's what I tried to do.” Seth Mattox earned his sixth save by getting the final out of the ninth, with some help. He entered with one on and two out, then surrendered a single that put runners at the corners. But the runner from first looked to steal second, and Meggers gunned him down to end the game. “Seth's really good, and it was a right-on-right matchup so I kind of figured that they might gamble a little bit, because it's not an easy matchup for their guy,” Meggers said. “(UO assistant coach Jack) Marder looked at me and said, ‘Throw it through when he goes.’ And he went and so I threw it.” Notable: Neville’s walk in the second inning was his 51st of the season, a new UO single-season record. … Neville came into the day tied for the record with Aaron Zavala (2021). … Neville’s run scored on his leadoff homer was his 64th of the year, tied for second in UO single-season history behind Rikuu Nishida (67, 2023). Up Next: The Ducks play at Iowa on Thursday (4 p.m., FS1).

Get the feeling it will be nearly impossible to get a top 8 bid in the B1G, just a horrible conference for baseball and softball. The opening round loss hurts of course, but geez, they're 47-7, they were ranked 4th going into the conference tourney and they end up 16th!? That's horrible!

The perfect Mother's Day tribute.....a Doog Sweep!

He seems wishy-washy. He goes with the school that shows him the most love, but he’s still going to take visits. He has “flip” written all over him.

That’s how you win championships. Just ask Saban, Meyer, Carroll, etc.

Player of the game goes to Chase Meggers! His 1st home run of the season, and his fantastic pickoff at second to clinch the win!

Ouch indeed.

Break out the brooms, but watch out for dog litter !

Ducks win 5-3 on unbelievable drama/excitement at the end. To think that the Huskies had their best batter at the plate, who had gone 3-3 today...and the third out is on an Oregon pickoff? Whew! A sweep over Washington is just GLORIOUS!

Meggers throws out runner at 2nd. Wait..... on review.... He's out! Oregon 5- 3 win

More drama than necessary, but a pick off at second, gets the win, and the sweep!

Jason out, Twist in to get the lefty in a deeep flyout to LF for 2 outs and Seth Mattox to get the last Husky standing. More OBD relief arms today than the Kardashians have trust funds.

Yeah from what I can tell you are penalized for having more students transfer out than transfer in. My guess is this will have to be adjusted at some point to actually understand how the student athletes are doing academically.

5-3 Ducks after eight innings. THREE MORE OUTS!

No Ducks bats. Down 1-2-3 with 2ks and a hard line out to LF by Molony. Three outs to go if #15 can keep them off balance. Gotta be better than this in the tournaments

Such drama at the end of the Husky side in the 8th...as this could have been a bigger disaster!

Jordan gets a short RF fly out that holds the runner on third and whiffs the 3rd out to end what could have been a disaster. Only one run allowed on that debacle, amazing. Go Duck bats

3 outs, whew!

Okay, 2 outs now.

Dang, wheels coming off. Stokes gets 2 plinks, a WP that scores a run then a walk. He gone. Bases loaded with one out and now a 5-3 game. Jaxon Jordan now on the hill for OBD. Someone has to come thru here and then the Duck bats need to come alive
