7-6 Portland is the final. Stokes choked...as he gave up a hit, walked another, hit a batter, and then hit another batter for the winning run. Oregon is getting everybody's best shot right now, and we have to pull it together...

6-6 after eight innings. Whew! Oregon's closer Cole Stokes got it done with a runner on third...now onto the ninth! Cole Stokes

6-6 after seven innings, as a Garcia fast-ball got sent yard. SCO-DUCKS! P.S. There are no videos provided on "X," so none to offer tonight.

6-5 Ducks after six innings. Anson Aroz hit a sweet two-run homer, and Santiago Garcia pitched Portland out of there, after a 1-2-3 side. His ninth home run!

5-4 Portland after five innings. All the scoring came from errors on both sides. Walks, overthrown to bases, wild pitches...whew! Oregon went through three pitchers...IN THAT INNING! I understand that you are trying to give some young-guns the opportunity to shine, but damn!

2-2 after four innings. The new Portland pitcher is throwing a slider that our beloved batters are not just missing, but missing by a MILE.

2-2 after three innings. Both Umlandt brothers were pulled after two innings, and Oregon's freshman pitcher Kellan Knox gave up a homer on his first pitch, but did well after that. Kellan Knox

2-1 Ducks after two innings. Ian Umlandt wiggled out of a bases-loaded jam. Whew! I recognize that nobody is watching this game since it is on ESPN+, but I had to shell out the bucks to watch because--you know me... "I Might As Well Face It...I'm ADDICTED TO DUCKS!"

2-1 Ducks after one inning. The highly interesting story-line is how Oregon's Ian Umlandt is going up against the Portland pitcher...his brother Nolan Umlandt. The Duck's Jacob Walsh crushed a two-run homer to start the scoring for Oregon, but I was surprised at how well the Pilots are hitting Ian already. (1.05 ERA) I get it Jacob....I LOVE our Ducks too!

Despite my intense hatred for the Huskies, Trojans, etc...I do not want to see injuries anywhere with any team, especially with Our Beloved Ducks. I want to always beat our foes straight-up, our best against theirs without injuries. Playing them in Seattle this year...will be a challenge.

Oh NO! (Trojans and Huskies will have a B1G Advantage...) NCAA requires football teams to field mascots in game - Daily Emerald DAILYEMERALD.COM As if the college football world couldn’t get any crazier, the NCAA now finally plans to address the inequity between athletes and mascots in college sports. According to reports from multiple...

Wow. Eight years is a chunk of your life, and I thank you for your service to the nation. Was there a particular location you enjoyed, or was memorable to you? It must have been cool to be on the flagship of that carrier class... Anybody else here serve or be on-board the Nimitz?

She is to be replaced by the new Gerald Ford Class Aircraft Carrier USS John F. Kennedy, but first the USS Nimitz is headed out for her last deployment, which might be a signficant one in the Middle East. Anybody here have any memories on this honored vessel?

Oregon falls 8-6... And if you're going to come in here and vent--I'll delete it. If I don't see you post when we are winning--I don't want to see your ragging posts when we lose. Don't be a bandwagon fan...be loyal, no matter what.

5-4 Ducks after seven innings as Featherston got into trouble, but freshman Oregon pitcher Kellan Knox came in and generated a double-play to bail OBD out!
