Damn! It must not be very sophisticated, as we have lived here 33 years, and I have yet to become aware of it. But then again, no one has ever associated me with intricacy.

After getting two outs Gordon appeared to run out of gas, giving up a single, homerun, and double. Dylan Sabia comes on in relief and after a walk gives up a single to right field which scores another run. Oregon 2 - UCLA 3 after six innings.

Colby Shade runs down a long fly in right center! Oregon 2 - UCLA 0 in the middle of the 6th inning. RJ Gordon with a strong outing on the mound!

Ducks strike first in the top of the 5th inning! Josiah Cromwick gets on base when he is hit by the pitcher. Sam Novitske goes yard with a two RBI dinger.

The old adage "good pitching beats good hitting" will be tested in this series against UCLA.

If you could buy Fentress for what he is worth and sold him for what he thinks his value is......................

Heresy I say! We actually saw some bunts in the second game. Winning however you can is evident of a well rounded team!

Beavers bullpen has struggled to hold a lead so far this year. In their two most recent games at Nevada they couldn't sustain an 11-0 lead through five innings in the opener, and in game two they were ahead 8-4 going into the 8th frame. Oregon State won both games, but their relief pitchers weren't stellar.

And Matt Prehm is predicting Mookie will choose Oregon? Over Kentucky and Gonzaga? Big time competition!

And what a refreshing turnabout this has been. ATTACK of the DUCKS!
