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.

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!

5-4 Ducks after six innings. Featherston got a 1-2-3 inning, as I hold my breath...

4-4 after four innings. We have Ryan Featherston in the game pitching for the Ducks, and considering his challenges this year--wouldn't it would be cool if he could rescue Our Beloved Ducks for the series win? Maddox Molony hit ANOTHER Homer?

3-1 Buckeyes after two innings. The bad pitching day has infected Oregon starter for game three, Will Sanford, as well.

Funny how we only hear from some people when we lose…

Ohio State wins 11-10...a pretty bad loss on our pitchers.

11-10 Ohio State after eight innings. Oregon went to its closer, Cole Stokes, and even he was throwing wild pitches and getting hit. Not good...

10-8 Ducks after seven innings, as the Buckeyes did not get a hit, but scored two runs on wild pitches by both Garcia and Jason Reitz who is in there in relief. So frustrating...and this game is getting dicey as both squads search for a pitcher who can stop the other team. Nice to see Jacob Walsh hitting homers again...

9-6 Ducks after six innings, as Oregon calls on Santiago Garcia who puts the Buckeyes down 1-2-3! Santiago Garcia

9-6 Ducks after five innings. Coach Waz did bring Umlandt back, and although he gave up hits--he got a scoreless inning. Meanwhile, Maddox Molony is having an incredible game at the plate with a second home run, and five RBIs!

7-6 Ducks after four innings. Geez...the Ohio State batters got a bead on our pitching, as they are even hitting Umlandt well. I would not be surprised if another Oregon pitcher is brought in immediately since we are so deep with pitchers. Find someone who can stop the bleeding!

My mistake: it is 7-5 Ducks after three innings. I cannot believe they brought Clarke back in, and the Buckeye batters are just killing him. They finally pulled him after no outs and bases loaded! Oregon brought out our best reliever in the "Pride of Sherwood," Ian Umlandt, but I thought he would be our mid-week starter? Then I realized that the game at Portland is on Wednesday, thus four days rest after today. Umlandt limited the damage to one run...thus the 7-5 score.

7-4 Ducks after three innings on a Anson Aroz three-run dinger over the right field fence!

4-4 after two innings. Buckeye batters are not fooled by Clarke, and are hammering him. He gave up a two-run homer, as his stuff does not look fast or tricky today.

The problem with our pitchers having a collective bad day, is that we have a double-header today, and can't wash it out overnight... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4-1 Ducks after one inning. Ohio State batters are hitting Collin Clarke much better than I thought they would, and now there is more than enough tape on Clarke to scout him well. But the "Pride of Springfield," Maddox Molony blasted a three-run homer to give Oregon a surprising opening cushion.
