Ducks win 5-4 again! Closer Devin Bell generated two groundouts, and a pop-up to keep the 'Lions at bay. Angel Laya walks, and steals second. Maddox Molony also strings out the at-bat to get a walk when both batters were at full-count. Burke-Lee Mabeus sacrifice bunts to the mid-pitcher/3rd base area to move both runners into scoring position. Naulivou Lauaki was intentionally walked, and after an out--Jack Brooks also got it up to full count...bases loaded, and the next pitch decides it all. The Penn State pitcher threw too low, and thus Brooks was walked, and a run came in to win the game for Oregon. Now THAT is truly a "Walk-Off" victory!

4-4 after nine innings. Devin Bell gets two strikeouts and a groundout to go 1-2-3, and the last one was sweet as after the heaters--he throws a changeup that puts the batter in knots. We had a runner in scoring position at second, but could not win the game. On to the 10th!

4-4 after eight innings. Oregon's Toby Twist got two outs, and was relieved by Devin Bell who got a strikeout for the third. And opposing pitchers kept us scoreless as well. On to the ninth!

4-4 after seven innings. Oregon's Toby Twist took over on the hill, and gave us three strikeouts. Whew! "Junior" Lauaki got a leadoff hit to LF, off their relief pitcher--while Gabe Miranda walks. Jack Brooks sac-bunts to move both runners to scoring position. Brayden Jaksa hit a dud to the pitcher...who dropped the ball so Lauaki could score! With runners on the corners, Ryan Cooney bunts poorly, but the catcher blew the throw to first to load the bases. Drew Smith hits a grounder that sends the throw to second while Miranda scores to tie it all up. A big final two innings!

I thought Brock Thomas played pretty good considering his competion. D was great was very good but it was a spring game. All in all I think the Ducks should do very good this season, And If for any reason DM goes down I think we will be a very competitive team.

4-2 Penn State after six innings. Oregon's Collin Clarke got two outs, and gave up a double and thus Luke Morgan came in to relieve him. Morgan got a strikeout with two very nasty drop-curveballs to finish the inning. This opposing pitcher with a bad ERA? He has held the Ducks to only two runs, and put us down easily in this inning.

4-2 Penn State after five innings. Collin Clarke disposed of the side 1-2-3 has a pitch count in the 70s...will he be back for Oregon in the sixth? Nothing on offense.

Spring Game Recap

4-2 Penn State after three innings. Oregon's Collin Clarke gave up hits and had runners on the corners, but kept the inning scoreless for the 'Lions. Drew Smith got a grounder-hit to RF, and then Angel Laya hit opposite-field to the LF corner for a double to score the speedy Smith from first base.

True indeed! But last year we (collectively) had a hard time believing Brock Thomas was the best. I think we are starting to see now that he must have been.

4-1 Penn State after two innings. What I feared was true....on film--everyone has figured out Collin Clarke, as they shelled him in the first inning for four runs. He recovered to have a scoreless inning in the second. Oregon had bases loaded with no outs, and only got one run when Ryan Cooney hit a ground-out to score Jack Brooks. Nothing on offense in the second inning, so we have a tough game ahead...

Brock was obviously ahead of Akili on this outing. He seems to be playing so well that I wonder if they are thinking to redshirt Raiola next year (he can play in 8 games, depending on how deep of a run the Ducks make), playing BT as the number 2 QB on most outings???? That would give Raiola 2 years to start if he needed/wanted them.

Raiola was dropping dimes. Looked like true 5 star. I didn't enough good from Smith Jr. to make me think he ever will be the guy. Defense was clearly better than the offense as shown in the final score. Offensive linebeing the worst I can remember in spring game history was the reason for the discrepancy. Very little in the way of rushing lanes or QB protection. Hopefully it's because of chemistry issue with mixing them up, and quality of defensive linemen, and not a sign of impending poor play and lack of depth. I am nervous about special teams, as that unit had the most turnover from last season. And do we really have just one field goal kicker? I think Dan goes and gets another one in the portal after the game.

Today we will see Oregon's Collin Clarke take the hill, (3.84 ERA) versus the 'Lions' starter Ben Hudson, at 8.14 ERA. A couple of items to take into account... --Forget Hudson's bad ERA, as yesterday's starter against the Ducks had an ERA at nearly 7.00 but he threw 94 and 95 mph and was great. It comes down to how he pitches today. --Collin Clarke has been beat-up the last two starts. He does not have much of a fastball, and depends upon superb control with his placement, his slider, his curve-drop pitch, and when it is humming--his changeup. Is it on today? --It is sunny and warm--the best day at PK Park for the season thus far, so perhaps with the warmer air we could see more hits fly over the fences for Our Beloved Ducks?

I'm just starting to watch a replay on YouTube. Another story to watch are the kickers, who's going to step up for starting kicking duties?

It'd be great if he develops into a Jaden Canedy type of player. I just worry about shorter DBs when they have to line up opposite to the Jeramiah Smiths of the world.

Well, if that wasn't the boring Spring Game I've seen at Oregon, then it HAS to be in my top-three. The depth of the offensive line sure shows up in these Spring Games, with all the sacks. I have a couple of thoughts... --I think my question about whether Evan Stewart and Dak Moore are healthy and fully recovered was answered! --Aydin Breland sure had a game, (No. 42) and I'm glad to see his progress. --I continue to be surprised by the talent and poise of walk-on Brock Thomas. It almost felt that he was making Akili Smith Jr. try a little too hard...

Well that was... a spring game.

Evan Stewart... wow

The game is being broadcast on the Big Ten Network - BTN

Taking a limo-long back seat to the Spring Game, but 63% of the starters in the NFL are Free Agents or picked in rounds 4-7.

Is the spring game being broadcast or live streamed anywhere?
