SIDEARM Integrations GODUCKS.COM Oregon won both games of a doubleheader Saturday against Utah, which entered the week tied for first in the Pac-12.

We got Moore than we expected, as he gave us three scoreless innings, and Oregon wins 5-1! Final game Sunday at noon!

No change after eight innings, and Utah is up for their last three outs! Brock Moore got us through the two scoreless innings, taking over for Grinsell who limited Utah to one run in six innings. Let’s hope Brock can finish this off!

Still 5-1 Ducks after seven innings!

5-1 Ducks after six innings!

Oregon up 4-0 after five innings due to Jeffrey Heard digging out a slider to score two!

After four innings, Our Beloved Ducks still lead 2-0, and the lead was preserved with a wonderful double play!

Still 2-0 Ducks, after two innings, as Grayson Grinsell gets in a jam, and then strikes them down.

Oregon plays the third game Sunday at noon! ----------------------------------------- Our Beloved Ducks are up 2-0 after one inning due to two wild pitches by the Utah pitcher.

Bradley Mullan got in trouble as we had bases loaded by the Utes with NO OUTS, and Logan Mercado came in a truly saved our feathered butts. Our Beloved Ducks win 7-5, with Game two of the double-header starting about 3:10 PM.

After eight innings, the Ducks still lead 7-4 with only three more outs to finish!

After being down 4-1, Our Beloved Ducks have come back to take a 7-4 lead after seven innings. Great to see Justin Cassella get going with a critical double that score Anson Aroz from first base. Fast!

Oregon still leads 5-4 after six innings, with Ryan Featherston pitching in relief, and rescued by a sensational double-play from Carter Garate at third base!

Had to show the homer-saving catch by Boettcher...

After five innings, Oregon now leads 5-4 on a Jacob Walsh two-run blast over the right-center field wall. This puts him within one homer shy of tying the HR single season record.

After four innings, Utah leads 4-3 as I spoke too soon about Gordon. Bryce Boettcher caught a fly ball a foot above the fence and saved a Ute home run from happening, and then hit a two-run homer himself. Good gosh he is taking off!

After two innings, Oregon leads 1-0, and thus far RJ Gordon is showing great control in the drizzling rain.

To an 11:05 AM start Saturday, and there will be a double-header Saturday with the second game starting 45 minutes after the end of the first game.

Hey Lincoln....who's your daddy?

Well done!

And that was before Harmon... Count our blessings and and enjoy the ride my friends! (And USC did get a "B"...)

My FishDuck Friends....I am just a terrible sport. So bad that I don't even feel guilty for the following quotes from one of the biggest USC forums. The only thing greater than the joy of Our Beloved Ducks winning these recruiting battles, is seeing the reaction of Trojan fans who believe they were entitled to these players both schools were pursuing. I'm a sicko, as I can't get enough of this after all the years growing up with their disdain in my face...and there was nothing we could do about it. I need to go get a candy bar, something sweet to go with all this salty... I won't do this all the time, but Derrick Harmon is a recruit they really wanted and needed. And I may have added my commentary in green bold... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- "Is the fact that Lan Danning thinks he's out recruiting everyone and taking credit for it. He's a freaking blowhard that gets credit for being a great recruiter only because he's got Nike money behind him. It also frustrating that with all the billion dollar alumni USC has, none of them are stepping up the way Phil Knight does for Oregon." "I've always made fun of their envy for SC, but let's face it. Who's laughing now?!" Couldn't have written it better... "Year 3 Lanning looking much better than year 3 Riley. Rest is cope." "Another L with the kick to the nuts. Plain and simple." "They care more than we do at the moment unfortunately." "So now they have both Caldwell and Harmon in the middle? That might compare to Texas two DTs last year." "Damn, but to those that think just throwing whatever money recruits want. It’s obvious Oregon is all in on this year, for USC--they’re playing the longer game." "Big difference of being a $2B billionaire vs a $40B billionaire." Wait...according to this 2021 article from Forbes, USC has 15 billionaire alumni worth a total of $58.5B. I'm not sure how accurate that is in 2024. Phil Knight alone is at around $40B. Whoops! There go the excuses! "It's not Nike the company paying these guys, it's Phil Knight donating to Oregon's collective and former Nike execs running the whole thing. Actual experienced business people. Meanwhile, our NIL is run by football guys that can't even figure out how to consistently pay the players on time." "Oregon has an insurmountable advantage in both $$ and infrastructure, we will continue to lose these battles until revenue sharing happens. Even then, they'll still probably have their collective going to supplement it." "Oregon's NIL is the greatest in the whole country. This is the only thing I’ll ever be envious of with them. Wow. I’m glad we don’t play them this year." "Writing was on the wall when their NT jumped in the portal a few days ago." "Absolute disaster. Oregon didn't even need him and secured his pledge they have 4-5 other starting caliber DTs. We legit have one. I can just about guarantee our DL is going to get rolled over this year with the complete lack of talent. Team is going to go 7-5 against the insane schedule then Justus Terry and the other top DL commits will flip or head elsewhere creating the same problem next year." "Chain of events going to be set off by this and it is really going to hurt. Getting embarrassing at this point that USC CANNOT BEAT OREGON for a single recruit H2H, unless it is a lowly 3 star they recruit over." "Oregon’s 3rd guy on the depth chart would probably start day 1 for us. Lol,sad." Did you EVER think you would read that from a USC fan? "I used to think the CLR was playing chess in the recruiting game, but I’m pretty convinced at this point that we are the ones playing checkers." "Man lol Douche Lanning did his team dirty too by having this announced after the portal closed. Cut throat." "Got Wyatt and Harmon to commit back-2-back just to mock SC...God I hate those MorherFers Ducks." Pretty salty tears....I LOVE IT! "So we "feel like" having a gaping hole in the DL as we enter the conference with consistently stout OLs and run games? That makes a ton of sense." Yep! Good thing I never said I was noble...

He is 359 pounds...changes everything for this defense. The last piece needed...
