The Huskies will pitch Justin Tims, who has a 5.13 ERA, versus Oregon's Jason Reitz, has moved his ERA down to 3.66 due to his recent successful outings. Got him!

It's a basketball school. Whatever they get in football is just a bonus.

It's a mission to get it for Phil. Anybody who paints that as a negative is just blindly jealous imo.

As someone who previously lived in NC for a number of years, the reason BB is at UNC IMO is because UNC isn’t serious about football. They figure if it doesn’t work they’ll at least get an uptick in season ticket sales for 2 years…if it works out that’s an unexpected bonus.

Yes, he is our second Rivals 5-Star of the 2026 Class, and besides Oregon...he was offered by Notre Dame, USC, Penn State, Georgia, Texas, Ohio State...so many!

Stars Shine as Ducks Clinch Series Win EUGENE, Ore. — With four games left in the regular season, the Oregon baseball team is within striking distance of first place in the Big Ten, and reasons for the Ducks’ late-season surge abound. Consistent starting pitching. A resurgent bullpen. Elite defenders all around the infield. And a couple of historically prolific left-handed hitters. Those two stars — Mason Neville and Jacob Walsh — shined brightly Saturday as the Ducks clinched a series win over Washington with a 6-4 victory before a sellout crowd of 4,130. Each homered, Neville to pad his UO single-season record and Walsh adding to his program career record, and each was involved in a play seldom seen at PK Park. Walsh caught a foul pop-up in the sixth inning that was only recorded as an out because he had the presence of mind to jump into the Oregon dugout and make the catch before letting his feet hit the ground. And Neville homered in the bottom of the inning to beat a UW defensive shift that put four players in the outfield and three to his pull side between first and second — nobody on the infield between second and third. “I mean, maybe the analytics say that it's gonna work,” Walsh said of the UW shift, “but it doesn't matter how many outfielders you have if you just hit it over the fence — which he did. So that's pretty cool to see.” Jacob Walsh making the incredible catch... Neville and Walsh were two of five Ducks with two hits each Saturday, as they rallied back from an early deficit and took the lead for good on their stars’ solo homers. And the bullpen provided four more shutout innings to help Oregon win its sixth straight game, and its 10th out of the last 11. Oregon (37-13, 18-8 Big Ten) moved within 2.5 games of first-place Iowa — the team that hosts the Ducks for the final series of the regular season next week. “The best time to make a run is right at the end of the year,” Walsh said. “The bats are hot, we're pitching well and we're playing good defense, so it's exciting to see moving on to the playoffs.” How It Happened: After being shutout by the Ducks on Friday, the Huskies struck first Saturday. An error, a single and a walk loaded the bases with one out of UO starter Collin Clarke (5-2), who struck out the next hitter before allowing two unearned runs on a single. The Ducks got one back in the second, when Drew Smith hit a leadoff double and two batters later Maddox Molony brought him in with a single. Clarke faced the minimum for the third straight inning in the top of the fourth, and in the bottom of the inning Oregon got him the lead. It all came with two outs, when Chase Meggers singled and Ryan Cooney was hit by a pitch. Carter Garate then reached on an infield single, and an errant throw brought Meggers in with the tying run. Up came Neville, who stroked a double to right that scored Cooney and Garate and made it 4-2. Another home run for Mason Neville... “Mason Neville is one heck of a hitter, you know,” UO coach Mark Wasikowski said. “And I hope he wins the Golden Spikes Award. … We've seen it throughout history, when a hitter gets (in the zone) it just looks like a huge beach ball coming in there, and it seems like that's kind of where Mason's at right now at the plate.” Washington tied it with a pair of solo homers in the top of the fifth. But Walsh gave Oregon the lead back at 5-4 in the bottom of the inning, stroking his UO record 57th career home run. Then, in the top of the sixth, Walsh made his acrobatic play on the foul ball toward Oregon’s dugout. Had he let his feet touch the ground before making the play, it would have been a dead ball. “He’s going to win a Gold Glove at first base, and if he doesn't it's crime,” Wasikowski said. “I mean, the guy's ridiculous at first base.” Neville hit his UO single-season record 25th home run in the bottom of the sixth. With one out he worked a 3-0 count, at which point UW shifted into its odd defensive alignment. Which didn’t matter, when Neville crushed the next pitch for a homer. “Immediately when I saw that, I knew maybe I was going to get a good pitch to hit,” Neville said. “And so I just tried to put a good swing on it. Hopefully try and beat them, but at the same time you can't try and do too much and swing and miss or whatever. It was pretty cool.” That sent Santiago Garcia out to the mound for the seventh looking to protect a 6-4 lead. The UO left-hander had walked the first batter he faced in the sixth before retiring the next three in a row, and he threw a 1-2-3 seventh before getting the first out of the eighth and giving way to right-hander Cole Stokes. Santiago Garcia Garcia matched his season high with 2.1 innings, getting all seven outs after a mound visit from UO pitching coach Blake Hawksworth following the leadoff walk in the sixth. “It felt really good to get out there and just freaking throw, man,” said Garcia, whose previous six appearances all had been one inning or less. “I’ve been wanting to do that for the past couple weeks, and I'm glad Hawk gave me the chance to get out there and go do it.” After Stokes got the final two outs of the eighth, Seth Mattox pitched around a two-out hit by pitch in the ninth for his fifth save of the season. Notable: Walsh reached 246 hits in his career, tied for second in UO history with Gabe Matthews (2017-21) behind only Tanner Smith (306, 2019-23) … Mattox is up to 100 career collegiate strikeouts … Garcia matched his season-long appearances against USC on March 8 and Portland on April 2. Up Next: The team meet in the series finale Sunday (12:05 p.m., B1G+).

2025 college baseball hitter rankings: The best hitters in the game - ESPN WWW.ESPN.COM Who are the best hitters in college baseball? Kiley McDaniel breaks it down.

Mutts go up 2-0 in the 1st, there happy. No sweat for OBD. They tie it up, then go ahead, 4-2. But 2 homers for UW ties it up. Wow, this must have really got frustrating for the Nutts, Walsh, Oregon's career leader in home runs blasts one to get the lead back, then Neville, with the shift on, gets another, and that was it. A great defensive play by Walsh, which is getting to be an every game thing is almost disallowed, a great at bat for Malony, starts out 0-2, but with a mix of 5 foul offs and 4 balls, gets a walk. Yep, never gets old beating the Huskies!

Thanks for the thread Charles....I had lawnmower duty today, so it is nice to come in, crack a cold one and review all the highlights. Never gets old....smacking the Doogs.

And we can never miss this video in THIS week!

From our friend Jonathan Hoffman...

Oregon wins 6-4, as the Duck's Seth Mattox comes in to close with his sideways action pitches, and sends the Huskies away whimpering. This makes six straight wins, but we gotta win Sunday at noon as well!

6-4 Ducks after eight innings, as Santiago Garcia got the first Husky out, and then Oregon's Cole Stokes came in and threw his 97 mph flame-throwers to finish the Washington side. THREE MORE OUTS on these Bastards...

6-4 Ducks after seven innings, as Santiago Garcia is getting his confidence as he punished the 'dogs for simply being there 1-2-3.

6-4 Ducks after six innings, as Santiago Garcia replaced Clarke, and kept the damn Huskies scoreless. Jacob Walsh caught a fly that has to be seen to be believed, as it was moving into the Oregon dugout, but the rule is...you cannot touch your feet inside the edge of the field. So Walsh leaped from the edge of the stairs, and caught the ball while in the air before landing. Whew! Mason Neville added to the lead with a wonderful homer!

5-4 Ducks after five innings. The damn Huskies hit two home runs in the inning off Clarke, but Jacob Walsh came back to hit a monster blast of his own.

4-2 Ducks after four innings, as Oregon's Collin Clarke slapped the Huskies with a rolled up newspaper to go 1-2-3. He has only 42 pitches after four innings, so this is promising for him to do deep into the game. Chase Meggers got Oregon going with a line-drive out in right field, and then Ryan Cooney gets plinked by the Washington pitcher for runners on first and second. Carter Garate hits to second base, but the Husky fielder throws a wild one into the dugout to score Meggers. With Cooney on third, and Garate on first, the Ducks Mason Neville crushed a liner just inside the right field to score both runners!

2-1 UW after three innings, as Clarke put them down 1-2-3, but the Ducks stranded two on base.

2-1 UW after two innings. Oregon's Collin Clarke got hits against him, but an error by an infielder set up two unearned runs later. The Ducks saw Drew Smith zing a hit past 3rd base and into the left field corner to start things in the second inning with a double. Then Anson Aroz sacrificed a grounder to right side to move Smith to third. Then the Pride of Springfield, Maddox Molony, smashed a line drive into medium left field for a hit and scores Drew Smith.

So many things, Gat. Belichick. I still think he wants to get back to the NFL, leave UNC to his kid, so he can "win without Brady" and break Shula's record. Deion and Colorado, I don't know about "changing forever", they improved to 2nd in the B12. Cal & Stanford in the ACc describes college football perfectly. I used to always cheer for Michigan when they played osu2. And Washington fans feel the same way about James. I don't know who's on top at osu2, Woody, or Urban. Everything points to Oregon winning a Natty, there isn't anything else OBD can do!

So much of success in sports is cerebral. And success is contagious. As would be the reverse. Baseball in my opinion is very cerebral due to success being less than 50%. Always a need to put that last bad at bat behind you, or last pitch. In what other sport would a 30% batting average, (success ratio) be OK? With such a long season, maybe longer periods of ups and downs is inevitable. Whatever their motivation relies on, I hope they continue their stride into the post season.
