What Evan Stewart’s injury means for Oregon Football in 2025 DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM The Oregon Ducks got a tough injury blow with wide receiver Evan Stewart, so what does it... This is very unfortunate news for OBD. There is a lot of depth in the WR room that will now need to step up.

Season over. Pitching fell apart at the end. Disappointing to lose both games in your own regional.

Oregon yard sale! Now 8-5 Ducks on dingers by Smith and Heard

Way too close for comfort at 6-5, but Oregon uniforms finally answered the signal.

Yep, Clark is a transformational once in a generation player, just sooooo much better than Sabs.

Sorry to disagree, but the NCAA rules are pretty specific and support the Liberty coach's decision to contest the calls. She noted a glitch, perhaps on film review, in how Kai lifted her lead foot off the base even though she wasn't leaving early or getting a jump on the pitch. Once Luschar was no longer in contact with the base, she was in violation of the strict interpretation of the rules. From the NCAA Rulebook: 12.6 Base Runner Is Out 12.6.1 When she leaves the base she is occupying before the pitch is released and the defensive coach does not take the result of the play. 12.14 Leaving A Base 12.14.1 A runner may not leave the base she attained at the conclusion of play once the ball is in the pitcher’s possession in the pitcher’s circle. DL took advantage of a loophole in the 12 men on the field rule to help defeat Ohio State at Autzen. The NCAA then changed the rulebook to close that loophole. That's just smart coaching, and I give Dot Richardson the nod for exploiting it. The softball rules may need a revamp, but I suspect that runners will just make sure they always stay in contact with the base before trying to steal. I'm thankful that these calls didn't hurt Oregon and that the issue will be addressed before the WS games, where they could have been devastating.

They likely lost the #8 seed and the super regional, but better to lay this egg now than next weekend

It would have been a damn sight better than what happened on 1/1/25. And who knows, maybe Jeremiah Smith, Chip, and the entire defense eat iffy breakfast burritos that morning and the outcome is a whole lot different. Possibly not, but I have to believe the gauntlet tOSU would have had to run to get to the NC would have prepared Oregon better to face them.

If the projections of Oregon as the #8 seed in the NCAA tournament are accurate, then any loss in the B1G tournament might have them slip out of hosting a super regional. Win them all, I say. I agree with the consensus here at OBDF. Pitch the younger arms against MSU and use Grinsell in the must win against Nebraska Friday.

Texas A&M was the #1 seed and got upset by Liberty (that name rings a bell). Oregon at the #16 gets to host the super regional. Take care of business at the Jane and this team gets to Okie City

Yep, rubber match coming right up. Glad that Oregon got the big win today and not Stanfurd. Go Ducks!

Now 15-5 at the end of 6. Following online. Run rule?

That's it, Garcia retires the side with a K to finish. 13-4 OBD B1G champions, top seed Record # of HRs this weekend

13-4 Ducks after Garate goes yard again in the top of 9. Two dingers in three days, man, he needs to have a pitch nearly take his left index finger off more often. Amazing he can even play, let alone hit like that given the injury.

Great Duck win coming from behind with a combination of big bats and small ball to come back from 3 runs down. My only gripe was pulling Stokes in the 8th when he had the number of the Iowa hitters and was in the groove. Garcia was a bit wobbly at first, then knuckled down and with Mattox, finished it, including a nice put out at first.
