First pitch @ ~6:05PM PK Park Another non-conference game before the three conference counting games in Corvallis this weekend. Follow along with updates every half inning here on OBD!

It's "a game of inches". If Anthony Hall had caught that fly ball in right field, it's the third out and four runs don't score. Probably results in a win for Oregon. Admittedly he made a long run just to get to it. I think Hall would be the first to say that he should have caught it. I just hope that there is no serious injury to Anthony.

But Oregon still wins the three game series 2-1.

A hit up the middle is gloved by the Cal shortstop and throws out Cowley at first, but Tanner Smith is perched 90 feet from home plate with only one out. An insurance run here would be great! Brennan Milone works a full count into a free pass to first base. Runners at the corners with one out brings Jacob Walsh to bat. Cal will bring in a new hurler to face Walsh. Jacob swings at a 3-1 pitch that gets past the catcher and scores Tanner Smith, with Milone moving to second. Walsh flies out to left/center for the second out.
