To an 11:05 AM start Saturday, and there will be a double-header Saturday with the second game starting 45 minutes after the end of the first game.  

 

After two innings, Oregon leads 1-0, and thus far RJ Gordon is showing great control in the drizzling rain.

After four innings, Utah leads 4-3 as I spoke too soon about Gordon.

 

Bryce Boettcher caught a fly ball a foot above the fence and saved a Ute home run from happening, and then hit a two-run homer himself.  Good gosh he is taking off!

 

 

After five innings, Oregon now leads 5-4 on a Jacob Walsh two-run blast over the right-center field wall.  This puts him within one homer shy of tying the HR single season record.

 

 

Had to show the homer-saving catch by Boettcher...

 

 

Oregon still leads 5-4 after six innings, with Ryan Featherston pitching in relief, and rescued by a sensational double-play from Carter Garate at third base!

 

 

After being down 4-1, Our Beloved Ducks have come back to take a 7-4 lead after seven innings.  Great to see Justin Cassella get going with a critical double that score Anson Aroz from first base.  Fast!

 

 

After eight innings, the Ducks still lead 7-4 with only three more outs to finish!

Bradley Mullan got in trouble as we had bases loaded by the Utes with NO OUTS, and Logan Mercado came in a truly saved our feathered butts.  Our Beloved Ducks win 7-5, with Game two of the double-header starting about 3:10 PM.
