    Late inning rally gives No. 17 Oregon game two victory over USC

     

    LOS ANGELES, Calif. — After putting together a 4-1 week against No. 20 Arizona State and Gonzaga, No. 17 Oregon would, once again, attempt to get its first win of the week on Saturday against USC. 

     

    After falling behind early, Oregon’s comeback attempts would strike in the seventh inning, recording four runs with two outs against USC starter Caden Aoki. Oregon’s late-inning rally propelled them to a *insert final*, recording its first victory of the week.

    No. 13 Oregon Softball No-Hit for First Time Ever at Jane Sanders Stadium, Swept by No. 20 Utah to Clinch 5th Place in Pac-12

    After Oregon's ace starter, Jace Stoffal, did not pitch on Friday night, the Ducks turned to freshman Leo Uelmen. It's still unclear as to why Stoffal didn't pitch on Friday night. 

     

    Uelmen struggled in his start, allowing six runs in 2.1 innings pitched, allowing six hits, and only two strikeouts. From there, USC's starter, Blake Sodersten, dominated the Ducks, holding them to one run over seven innings, coupled with 11 strikeouts. Oregon's two runs were the lowest run production since winning 5-4 against Cal. 

     

    The Ducks' loss was their third straight after dropping the final game against No. 20 Arizona State and losing to No. 15 Oregon State in a midweek matchup on Tuesday. 

     

    Oregon will likely send RHP Logan Mercado to the mound on Saturday, who's looking to improve on his previous performance against the Sun Devils. Mercado allowed four runs to the prolific Sun Devil offense, striking out a career-high eight batters. Oregon needs a competitive outing from its starter, as the previous three starters have allowed 12 earned runs in 8.1 innings pitched. 

     

     

    Oregon's starting lineup on Saturday: 

    1. Rikuu Nishida RF
    2. Colby Shade CF
    3. Drew Cowley SS
    4. Sabin Ceballos DH
    5. Tanner Smith LF
    6. Jacob Walsh 1B
    7. Drew Smith 3B
    8. Josiah Cromwick C
    9. Gavin Grant 2B

    Glimmers of Justius Lowe: UO color analyst likes what he sees from freshman WR

     

    When talking on the Sco-ing Long Podcast to Mike Jorgenson, the long-time Oregon radio color analyst alongside Voice of the Ducks Jerry Allen, I asked about who stood out to him at the spring game, and what he thought of the receivers on offense. For the most part, he was impressed with what he saw.

     

    “I think when you take Hutson, and Franklin, and Holden and put them in there as a group, or you put in Tez Johnson and mix him in…frankly I’ve seen some glimmers of Justius Lowe,” Jorgenson said. “I think he’s going to be a guy…watch out for him.”

    Agree or disagree with the trap games?

     

    For Oregon: 

    OREGON: @ ARIZONA STATE

    11462631.jpg?fit=bounds&crop=620:320,off

     

    Oregon and Washington fans don't agree on many things, but both probably share an uneasiness when watching their teams play in the desert. Tempe hasn't been kind to the Ducks over the years and there are still nightmares among Oregon fans about the Jayden Daniels-led upset that crashed the Ducks' playoff hopes a couple years ago.

     

    Breakdown: Oregon has seven home games. The most notable of which comes against USC on Nov. 11, which has potential to hold massive stakes. The Ducks have a few of the conference's most challenging road games, taking trips to Texas Tech, Washington, Utah and Arizona State where they meet former offensive coordinator Kenny Dillingham. The conclusion to Oregon's season should be intriguing with USC, Arizona State and Oregon State on the slate.

    Oregon extends offer to former Colorado Buffaloes tight end

     

    It may have seemed like the Oregon Ducks might be out of the tight-end transfer portal market after picking up former Ole Miss TE Casey Kelly a week or so ago, but that’s apparently not the case.

     

    On Friday night, former Colorado Buffaloes tight end Seydou Traore announced on Twitter that he received an offer from the Ducks, one of the many that he’s gotten since entering the transfer portal.

    Report: Ducks show interest in Ole Miss DL transfer Tywone Malone

     

    We’ve said it once, we’ve said it a million times: Even if the Oregon Ducks don’t have a major need at a certain position, that won’t always stop Dan Lanning and the coaching staff from pursuing an available player in the transfer portal if it can make them better.

     

    Lanning has said as much several times since coming to Eugene, and we’ve seen it play out that way via multiple offers made to transfer portal players over the past couple of months.

    Best in Class: A look at college basketball's 25 best incoming recruiting hauls

    The final top 150 player rankings for the class of 2023 was released on Thursday with Duncanville (Texas) High forward Ron Holland taking over the top spot. While there was change in the individual rankings, John Calipari and Kentucky continue to hang on to the top spot in the industry-generated 247Sports Composite Team Rankings.

     

    Who else has the top classes in the land? Today we take a look at the top 25 recruiting classes for 2023.

     

    9. Oregon

    11591387.jpg?fit=bounds&crop=620:320,off

     

     

    The class: PF Kwame Evans Jr., PG Jackson Shelstad and SF Mookie Cook.

     

    What to expect: At Oregon, Dana Altman and the Ducks are welcoming a recruiting class that includes a pair of McDonald’s All-Americans in Evans and Cook and point guard coming off of a great senior year in Shelstad. Evans has all kinds of length, size and fluidity for a four man, unlocking his inner beast could turn him into a massive steal. Shelstad moved himself into the national top 25 by bulking up, turning into a mid-range assassin and becoming a real Alpha leader. A native of the Portland area like Shelstad, Cook is a versatile wing who could be a big time defender and open floor playmaker if he will get to campus and lock in.

     

    In Georgia transfer Kario Oquendo the Ducks are getting an athletic driver and they are adding even more wing athleticism with the addition of Arizona State transfer Devan Cambridge.
