10-8 Cal Poly wins. I am locking the thread, as I do not need to see people post who never do unless it is negative. And I don't need "Nah-Nah" posts that are meant as salt-on-the-wound, as I've already deleted one of those. We had a great season, but fell short. It happens.

That is an embarrassing performance by the pitching staff, absolutely pathetic, particularly by the relief pitching. Other two teams had relief pitchers who pitched with confidence, our guys pitch like they were scared to death, not getting ahead in the count. We aren't going anywhere unless we start playing actual good teams in the non-con, or the B1G steps up. It is an absolutely unacceptable result to get swept out of the regional.

And we all whined about our low seeding Maybe the RPI is smarter than we thought. A lot of ranked or seeded teams going down though.

Season over. Pitching fell apart at the end. Disappointing to lose both games in your own regional.

10-8 Cal Poly after eight innings. Boy our pitching...

9-8 Cal Poly after seven innings, as Oregon's Drew Smith and Jeffery Heard hit back-to-back home runs over center field! Who would have thought that the replacement for Aroz would hit two dingers today? But then the worst of two worlds happened...the Ducks put in Ian Umlandt--which I cannot understand, as we will need him as a starting pitcher in a later game...and then the Mustangs hit-the-heck out of him.

According to the radio broadcast, Aroz and the Ducks football team are watching the game at the Moshofsky Center

Oregon yard sale! Now 8-5 Ducks on dingers by Smith and Heard

6-5 Ducks! This is after six innings, as the replacement for Anson Aroz...Jeffrey Heard, got a dinger over the center field fence to tie it. Then Oregon's Burke-Lee Mabeus got a blooper single in shallow left field to set up The Pride of Portland Oregon, Ryan Cooney, who blasted a two-run homer over center field as well. The crowd went nuts... There is a stiff wind blowing out toward center field, so anything up in the air can get carried long, and Cal Poly got a HR that way.

Way too close for comfort at 6-5, but Oregon uniforms finally answered the signal.

4-3 Cal Poly after five innings, as the Ducks' Carter Garate singled to get to first, got to second on a wild pitch, and then was advanced to third base on a wild pitch. Then came a LONG at-bat with Dominic Hellman, who fouled off tons of pitches, and with two outs and a runner on third...we needed this. He got the pitch he wanted and blasted it out of the park and into the left field scoreboard for a two-run homer! The crowd was razzing the pitcher, and went crazy with the HR. The Mustangs are hitting Oregon's Grinsell much more than I would have thought...

Come On Man!

Here is my 2¢ . . . I'm always of the opinion that unless the call is the last call of the game, it did not "cost" the game (MLB still needs to reverse Jim Joyce's incorrect call that cost Armando Galarraga a perfect game). There were a couple of innings to go. If the play stood as safe, then the batting order, pitch selection etc. would have all changed and maybe we don't score a run in the ninth. It could also have gone extras and still lost. So, I'll go with it affected the game.

3-1 Cal Poly after four innings. Sigh…

Burke-Lee Mabeus is called out on strikes without a pitch being thrown, ending the inning for the Ducks, a clock violation.

3-1 Cal Poly after three innings. Oregon's Ryan Cooney got a double to center field, got sacrificed to third, and Dominic Hellman hit him with a single to left field. Left two stranded!

2-0 Cal Poly after two innings. They caught a Grinsell fastball for a two-run HR.
