44% shooting the three? A very big need...

I want to see how the new DBs hold up against our receivers, and I'd like to see the Nose Tackles hold their own inside. What are you looking for? Way to blow up a center Taki!

We may be past the problems…

Umlandt’s Dominance Fuels Ducks Win SAN FRANCISCO — Ian Umlandt was dominant on the mound in No. 18 Oregon baseball’s 7-2 victory over San Francisco on Monday as the sophomore hurler gave up just four hits and one earned run in a complete-game performance. Umlandt’s outing was only the fifth complete game with no walks in Oregon baseball’s modern era. After surrendering an unearned run to the Dons (17-24, 1-11 WCC) in the bottom of the first and loading the bases on a hit by pitch, Umlandt locked in to secure the final out of the inning and the first of 17-straight hitters he would retire as the game carried on. The Sherwood, Ore., native kept the bases clean through to the bottom of the seventh inning, allowing the Ducks’ (28-12, 11-7 Pac-12) bats to build a 5-1 advantage. Leading the charge offensively was third baseman Carter Garate who logged a career-high five RBI on two hits, one of which being a two-run blast in the bottom of the eighth to extend the lead 7-1. Umlandt came out again for the ninth inning, and despite allowing a run the sophomore finished what he started by striking out the final batter of the day to earn his fourth win of the season and the first complete game of his collegiate career. Sherwood Oregon native Ian Umlandt How It Happened: The Dons got to the Ducks early after a throwing error led to runners on first and third with one out. A single on the following pitch resulted in a 1-0 lead for San Francisco, but Umlandt got out of the jam by forcing an infield pop up. In the top of the second, Maddox Molony got things started with a single to right field before Drew Smith and Mason Neville each worked walks to load the bases with nobody out. An infield knock by Bryce Boettcher scored Molony for the Ducks’ first run of the day, and Garate laid down a sacrifice bunt to score Smith and give the Ducks the lead. Umlandt took the game over in the bottom half of the inning as he retired the side and did so again in each of the following four innings. The Oregon bats struck again in the fourth as Garate knocked a two-RBI single to right field to grow a three-run lead. After Jacob Walsh earned his way on base with a walk in the fifth, Anson Aroz stepped in to pinch hit and ripped a RBI double to center field, putting the Ducks on top 5-1. With Umlandt continuing to deal, Garate took the opportunity to add to the lead in the eighth inning with a homer to center field. San Francisco managed its way onto the scoreboard again in the bottom of the ninth with a triple followed by a sacrifice bunt, but Umlandt froze the final batter of the night for his ninth strikeout and put the game to rest. Notables: Umlandt retired 17 straight batters from the first to seventh inning and 19 of 20 through the seventh … Umlandt threw the first complete game for Oregon since Logan Mercado went the distance against Stanford on April 15, 2023 … Umlandt has registered a career-high nine strikeouts in two of his last three appearances … Garate logged his third multiple-RBI game of the season and 13th of his career … Molony notched his eighth multi-hit game in his first 19 starts … Aroz earned his 11th multiple-hit game of the season and 13th of his career. Up Next: The Ducks prepare for an important installment of the rivalry series with Oregon State as they play four games against the Beavers beginning with a road contest on April 26.

The issues continue on and off, and people are welcome to text or email me when you see problems.

It goes on and off in terms of being able to post. Sorry! Nothing we did on our end...

Thanks to everyone for their thoughts.

Now, these two are Nose Tackles! That is what we need...

Good to finish this out winning 17-5, with more information coming later...

Ducks blow it open in the 8th inning, and lead 15-5! Chase Meggers is having a DAY!

Ducks up 8-4 after seven innings due to this three-run home run by Chase Meggers! He has really come on...

Ducks still lead 5-4 after six innings, and a run was saved by an incredible throw from left field by Justin Cassella to home plate for the out!

Sigh. After five innings it is 5-4 Oregon.

After four innings, Oregon continues to lead 5-1.

After three innings...Oregon leads 5-1! We were at this same spot and score yesterday...but today is new day. Right?

Ducks lead 2-1 after two innings. Maddox Molony made a fantastic play at shortstop, as he dove and got a grounder on a perfect anticipation of the bounce and rolled, jumped up and fired to first base for the out!

I call it as I see it, and unfortunately was right.

More coming later! ------------------------------------------------ Today we have Grayson Grinsell on the mound, and I will watch with my hand over my face...through slits between the fingers. He can be brilliant, and blowing through batters, and then he suddenly walks two batters, hits another and faces a crisis with bases loaded...and then often gets out of it. He is mentally fragile, IMHO, and things can turn on a dime with him. (Kind of like yesterday with RG Gordon) Afternoon start at Stanford today. #GoDucks Watch ? https://t.co/VUIyWBYJSe Listen ? https://t.co/bxMwp3w2mP Stats ? https://t.co/8fVOgd60xL pic.twitter.com/1V4XMCT0CO — Oregon Duck Baseball (@OregonBaseball) April 20, 2024

End of seventh inning, down 10-5 with Featherston in relief,

No change after six innings.

Good Gosh, they left Gordon in! 9-5 Cardinal after five innings.
