Middle of the 3rd. Stanford up 2-0. Stanford scored after 2 batters. Grein relived Sokolski in the circle after 1 1/3 innings.

Congratulations to a well deserved and another B1G title. When do we start playing hockey or lacrosse.

We have people keeping you updated on baseball...how about giving us a softball score?

Yep. Normally when relief pitchers come in with ERAs below three and four...I am concerned. But I knew those stats were built on a weaker schedule, although on a given day... The four former Pac-12 teams will be all in the top five of the conference, but we all had to play each other....which makes our schedule harder! Add to that in how Our Beloved Ducks had to play conference leader Iowa on their home field before a full house? It is all the more remarkable for Oregon.

Iowa goes 1-8-1 in their last 10 games (1-5 in the B1G). As fabulous as sweeping the Hawkeyes is, there is an element of "Indiana 2024 football" in how Iowa got into contention. The season ain't over until it's over. And, the Ducks played like that down the stretch!!! Oregon won the softball regular season, and UCLA was second in the softball tournament. Now we have the same two programs battling in baseball for B1G leadership.

I have no problem with the portal, Dan and his staff have used it very successfully and I expect them to use it again as needed. I would however like to see less one and done guys in the future. It would be much easier on my brain matter, what’s left of it, and more time for our coaches to work with these kids. Opportunities for players like Bo Nix are going to be less and less now that COVID players have been flushed thru. I agree that a team with more quality and deep talent is the best way to build a roster and this years defense, IMO, will prove that theory. From what I saw in that spring game that defensive group was very impressive and deep. Can’t wait to see all those studs working together on the starting lineup with quality backups available. On another note taking my 6 year old to that spring game turned him into a Duck, he can’t stop talking about it. His oldest sister is a sophomore in Corvallis, poor girl. His other sister has been accepted and will enroll at Eugene this summer. Proud grandpa. Go s

Below is a video of the award ceremony. In case you do not have Twitter...below is a screenshot!

Can someone tell me why Coach Lombardi started her dominant ace pitcher Lindsey Grein against lowly Weber State -- and starts a good but not dominant (and not as mentally tough) #2 pitcher against Stanford? I really don't understand it. Didn't start well today.

The gameplan going in would be to take out Neville. Well, Iowa did that, and it didn't matter. Going to the bullpen for the Hawkeyes was the definition of insanity, doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result, speaking of the same result? Player of the Game? Jacob Walsh, who has to betting the attention of MLB scouts now!

I LOVE MY DUCKS!! No. 5 Oregon completes sweep over Iowa, clinch Big Ten regular season title The Oregon Ducks have stormed back in the Big Ten to take the No. 1 seed in the conference tournament after the sweep over Iowa. https://247sports.com/college/oregon/article/oregon-ducks-baseball-completes-sweep-over-iowa-clinches-share-of-big-ten-title-and-no-1-seed-250036755/

Ducks win 13-4 as Iowa cannot stop the Oregon onslaught of runs. The Pride of Springfield Oregon, Maddox Molony, line-drives to left field for a single while Chase Meggers zings one on the ground to right field as Molony gets to third. Ryan Cooney bunts down the first-baseline to sacrifice, (GOOD!) and Iowa throws to home late to try to stop Molony from scoring. Carter Garate goes to bunt several times to advance the runners, and then cranks back and says..."what-the-heck," and blasts a three-run homer over center field! With no drama, Santiago Garcia shows some flair with a breaking ball, to finish the Hawkeyes 1-2-3!

Break Out The Brooms!

That's it, Garcia retires the side with a K to finish. 13-4 OBD B1G champions, top seed Record # of HRs this weekend

13-4 Ducks after Garate goes yard again in the top of 9. Two dingers in three days, man, he needs to have a pitch nearly take his left index finger off more often. Amazing he can even play, let alone hit like that given the injury.

9-4 Ducks after eight innings. Dominic Hellman homers over right field, but the Hawkeyes take advantage of the mental weakness of Cole Stokes who came in for relief. I've watched him meltdown TWICE to lose games this season, and we just watched another meltdown--although we can survive this one. Jason Reitz gives up ONE run in his 6 and 2/3rds innings, while Stokes plinks a batter, (as usual) and walks in two runs! Santiago Garcia comes in to end the inning, and save my sanity.

Either way the best two teams in the B1G reside on the west coast. Go s

The TV announcers keep saying that if OBD and UCLA finish tied they will be co-champions. Incorrect! I looked it up and there is a conference rule that head to head competition breaks the tie, as has been stated many times on this site.

8-2 Ducks after seven innings, as Iowa got a homer off Featherston, and Toby Twist came in for Oregon to finish off the inning as another lefty.

8-1 Oregon after six innings, and my Duck-Tail is wiggling! The Pride of Portland, Ryan Cooney, nails a homer over right field, and yet Oregon is not finished. Iowa keeps substituting pitchers...to no avail, as Carter Garate walks, and then a strange play occurs. Dominic Hellman blasts a pitch that hit the second base umpire, and then bounces off the helmet of the second baseman to slow-roll into center field while Garate jets from first to score! Jacob Walsh steps up and sends another blast into orbit, for a three-run homer! Jason Reitz got the first two outs on the Hawkeyes, and was replaced by Ryan Featherston who got the third out.

That blast by Jacob Walsh traveled 433 feet at 111 mph at 20.30 degrees. WOW! Gotta love this team. Only four innings away from getting the # 1 seed in the tournament.

4-1 Ducks after five innings, as Iowa throws more relief pitchers at Oregon to try to stop the tide. Dominic Hellman walked, and Jacob Walsh nailed a screamer just inside the third baseline and into the left field corner for a double. At this point...we have runners at second and third and no outs. Later we had bases-loaded and no outs, and my philosophy is to ALWAYS sacrifice two outs for two runs. You have 27 outs to work with...get the damn runs! Anson Aroz grounds out to first base to score Hellman, and then Maddox Molony walks to load the bases again...and we squander it! P.S. Jason Reitz has a manageable pitch count, and could go further...

Transfer Tracker: How Oregon's 2025 opponents have fared in the portal Here's a breakdown of how the 12 teams on Oregon's 2025 schedule have used the transfer portal this offseason https://247sports.com/college/oregon/longformarticle/oregon-ducks-ducks-football-transfer-portal-250006121/

3-1 Ducks after four innings! Iowa is having a hard time dealing with Oregon's pitcher, Jason Reitz, and the Ducks got the bats going! Maddox Molony shows good discipline batting as he gets a walk, as does Chase Meggers. Then, Ryan Cooney gets a hit that splits the left and centerfield to score Molony. Next we see a PERFECT bunt by Carter Garate, that goes right in between the pitcher and first baseman for a hit while Meggers scores. Even with as good as that was...Our Beloved Ducks stranded two!
