8-4 Oregon wins! Mason Neville walked, then Dominic Hellman drills a hit through the left infield, and the speedy Neville gets to third base. Jacob Walsh then grounds out to sacrifice, thus a score by Neville from third! Santiago Garcia walked two to start, and Seth Mattox comes in with a 2-0 count against him and throws strikes that are sliders--very hard to hit. He creates a ground ball that goes to Carter Garate at third, who steps on the bag for one out, and fires across the field to first base for a double-play! Mattox then creates another ground ball to shortstop Maddox Molony, who flips it to Ryan Cooney at second for the final out. A four-game sweep over the No. 7 team? Six straight wins over Oregon State going to back to last year...that's gotta sting Beavis.

7-4 Ducks after eight innings, as Cole Stokes walked a Beavis, than generated a grounder that turned into the third 6-4-3 double play of the game for Oregon! Santiago Garcia came in as a lefty pitcher, and covered first base for the out on the throw from Ryan Cooney. (Walsh was moving to field it, but it got past him, and scooped up by Cooney) THREE MORE OUTS FOR A FOUR GAME SWEEP!

7-4 Ducks after seven innings. Cole Stokes bashed the Beaver batters, and the Oregon offense got going! Mason Neville hit a line drive to bounce off the wall for a double, and then Jacob Walsh hits a double that drives to the deep right corner, and scored Neville! Walsh steals third, and then Drew Smith smashed a hit through a hole through the left infield to score Walsh. No stolen third base by Walsh, and no extra score for the Good-Guys!

5-4 Ducks! It is after six innings, and Ducks had a combination of getting a hit batter, walk and hits. The key play was Cooney singling up the middle, but the throw to first by Beavis was errant, and two Oregon runners scored! Sam Boyle pitched two outs for Oregon, and Cole Stokes got the third one.

4-2 Beavis after five innings, Oregon's Jaxon Jordan pitched a good inning and shut the bad-guys out.

4-2 Beavis as Featherston stumbled during his pitch, got a balk and scored a run for them.

3-2 Beavis after three innings, as The Pride of Portland Oregon, Ryan Cooney, sent a pitch over the wall! Ryan Featherston took over after a couple of walks by Sanford, and faced a bases-loaded and NO outs situation....and got the Ducks out of the inning unscathed!

3-1 Beavis after two innings. A pitcher Oregon needed to regain his confidence--Will Sanford, is struggling. He walked three in this inning, gave up a hit that scored, and then gave up another run on a wild pitch. Yikes!

1-1 after one inning as both teams had home runs. Oregon's Jacob Walsh did it again!

So incredible to have both the Softball and Baseball teams of Oregon in the Top-6 in the nation at the same time? Whew! The ESPN poll is right here, and the NFCA Coaches poll is right here for as of this morning. Go Ducks!

Ryan Cooney: every coach’s dream - Daily Emerald DAILYEMERALD.COM He’s not on any award watch lists. He’s not the first name broadcasters mention when talking about Oregon’s star-studded lineup. He’s not going to lead the team in extra-base hits. But...

Takes me back!

In terms of RPI rankings, Oregon is No. 34 with the NCAA, and No. 35 with Warren Nolan who is well recognized. Got some more work to do!

We do have a chance to win the conference championship, but we gotta win a ton, and things need to fall our way. There are some B1G series this weekend that can help Our Beloved Ducks, as UCLA plays USC, and this is one time to actually root for the Trojans to win their series versus the Bruins. We also have a B1G series in Seattle, as Iowa travels to play the Bastard-Huskies, thus we have to hold our nose, and hope that Washington sticks two losses on the Hawkeyes. The remaining schedule has the Ducks play at Oregon State on Tuesday, three games at Michigan State this weekend, (with two midweek home games versus St. Marys next week) then at home for three against the Bastard-Huskies, and finish at Iowa for three games. (Schedule is right here) And of course...a sweep at Michigan State could help a TON, but it will not be easy. They are 23-19, and 9-12 in B1G play. They did win one off of Iowa, and of course--like when we played the damn Buckeyes at their home--their players will give us their very best effort. Let's Go Ducks! Incredible plays at 3rd base by Carter Garate this last weekend!

OK...that big THUD you heard outside was Mr. FishDuck coming back to earth. Oregon is ranked No. 10 in the USA TODAY Baseball poll, and No. 12 in Baseball America. I have focused on D1Baseball, as most do, but we cannot ignore the other major polls. This means that if the Ducks win the majority of their remaining games, then they should be a shoo-in to host a NCAA Playoff Regional Series at PK Park. But they have a stretch to host a Super-Regional, and that would come only if Oregon won nearly all their games remaining. It is possible as they play at Oregon State on Tuesday, three games at Michigan State this weekend, (with two mid-week home games versus St. Marys next week) then at home for three against the Bastard-Huskies, and finish at Iowa for three games. Let's Go Ducks! Another Dom-Bomb coming!

The unbelievable weekend generated an unbelievable result in the D1Baseball polls for Our Beloved Ducks. They went from No. 16 last week to No. 6 in the nation, while Oregon State dropped from No. 3 to a very respectable No.7...having to Duck-below their rival in Eugene in the poll. What is interesting also is how the west coast has three teams in the top 10, (as does the ACC) and I am not sure I have witnessed both Oregon and Oregon State in the top ten EVER at the same time. I am sure I will have a press release coming to me soon about the historical significance of this week's poll. Regardless, it is a proud moment for College Baseball in the state of Oregon! The only other team ranked in the top-25 from the B1G is No. 14 UCLA, while Iowa is unranked. I assume it is because the majority of their wins are against sub-.500 teams, but it will get settled when the Ducks travel to Iowa City for the final three-game series of the conference season in three weeks. D1Baseball Top 25: Texas remains No. 1; chaos reigns throughout rankings • D1Baseball D1BASEBALL.COM While Texas remains the No. 1 team in the land, the rest of the rankings are filled with carnage after a tumultuous Week 11. For the first time EVER...they feature a picture of Oregon Baseball at D1Baseball for their lead rankings article! That is Cole Stokes exulting at a key strike-out late in the second game... My Duck-Buddies....I NEVER thought last weekend would happen, as I hoped for a split between the four games in order to have a chance at hosting a NCAA Playoff Regional Series. But now...if we keep winning most of our remaining games--we have a shot at hosting a Super-Regional? Holy Crap!

I stated going into the UCLA series that up to that time...for every team we played....we were the hunted, the ranked team they wanted to beat, and everybody raised their game when they played us. I was hoping that facing a higher set of ranked teams in No. 10 UCLA and No. 3 Oregon State, that we were now the hunter--and it would inspire our best efforts which would not only win games, but allow the team to see their true upside. And THAT is what happened!

Sweep! Ducks Beat Beavers Again on Sunday EUGENE, Ore. — Oregon baseball has been searching for some consistency. For three days, at least, the Ducks found it, with historic results. The UO baseball team completed a sweep against a top-three opponent for the first time Sunday, with the No. 13 Ducks beating No. 3 Oregon State, 3-2, before the third consecutive sellout crowd at PK Park. Oregon came into the weekend playing .500 baseball over its previous 14 games, but finished off its first sweep of OSU since 2021. “It's huge,” said UO senior first baseman Jacob Walsh, who homered in all three games. “I think it shows everyone how good we really are. It's a good weekend to start building off of going into the end of the season.” The Ducks (30-12) came from behind Sunday, with Maddox Molony driving in a run after Walsh’s fourth-inning homer to make it 2-1, before Molony’s second homer in as many days provided much-needed insurance in the sixth. That made a winner of Jason Reitz (2-0), and Santiago Garcia earned his second save as the UO bullpen got the last six outs after OSU made it a one-run game again. “That's a good team that we played, and we were able to win today and get a couple more on the weekend to beat a good team,” UO coach Mark Wasikowski said. “So, yeah, I think that was probably good for our guys to be able to see that and see that we can win a lot of different ways.” Jason Reitz How It Happened: After Reitz faced the minimum in the top of the first, the Ducks struck out three times in the bottom of the inning against OSU starter Ethan Kleinschmit — kicking off a game in which Oregon struck out 17 times. But as Wasikowski said, they found a way regardless. Reitz temporarily lost command with two outs in the second, walking four straight batters as the Beavers took a 1-0 lead. Wasikowski said the coaching staff was considering a pitching change to start the third, but Reitz lobbied to stay in the game, and UO pitching allowed a lone solo home run the rest of the way. “I’m so proud of the guys,” said Reitz, who allowed only one hit and the one run over five innings. “It was so fun to be around, and I think that's a really good step for us. Everyone came in with the mentality of just getting after it and not backing down from anyone.” The Ducks were hitless with seven strikeouts through three innings. That all changed in the fourth, when Walsh ambushed the first pitch of the inning for his UO-record 54th career homer. “I got that one pretty good,” he said. “That was a nice one.” Oregon continued to take advantage of opportunities on the basepaths, as Drew Smith followed Walsh’s homer with a walk, was bunted to second and stole third. Molony then gave Oregon the lead with an RBI single to center. Santiago Garcia celebrates his final strike vs. Oregon State Ian Umlandt replaced Reitz to start the sixth and pitching around a leadoff single. Molony made it 3-1 in the bottom of the inning, with a two-out homer in an inning when Kleinschmit struck out three more Ducks. Umlandt left after a leadoff homer in the eighth, and Cole Stokes came on to preserve the 3-2 lead. Seth Mattox and Garcia combined to pitch the ninth, in front of a jubilant PK Park crowd that produced so much noise Garcia had to step off the mound at one point because he couldn’t hear the pitch call in his ear. “It’s awesome,” Garcia said of pitching in that atmosphere. “Man, coming from JUCO with like 24 people watching us and going straight to here, it was pretty good.” Garcia entered with one out and a runner on second before retiring the side, striking out the final hitter of the game.
