Charles Fischer Administrator No. 1 Share Posted March 1 Game summary will be at the bottom of the thread soon! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I will admit that Columbia is looking weaker than thought on paper thus far. Yesterday they had a ton of fielding errors we won't see from the rest of our schedule, and did not see against Toledo or Rhode Island. Their pitching also looks weaker thus far. But win the games! After two innings...Oregon is up 6-1! The Ducks may have one of the best freshman in the nation as Burke-Lee Mabeus is continuing to hit well, and drive in runs. The word is, he turned down a ton of money from MLB to develop further at Eugene, and boy we are glad he did! Batting over .500 to start the season! Mason Neville is back in the lineup, and has already got on base and scored! They moved Jason Reitz from the third game starter, to the second game, and he has been a bit shaky at times, but held them to a run thus far. 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Fischer Author Administrator No. 2 Share Posted March 1 Omigosh! The Columbia pitcher was the Ivy League pitcher of the year last year, but Oregon feasted on him, and the relief pitcher to take an unbelievable 15-1 lead after only three innings! Duck Offense? Makes me want to dance... Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Fischer Author Administrator No. 3 Share Posted March 1 Good Gosh! 18-1 Ducks, after four innings? Whew! This two-run homer by the pride of Springfield, Maddox Molony, cleared the scoreboard! Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Fischer Author Administrator No. 4 Share Posted March 1 21-1 Ducks! After five innings, as the laughter continues. Jason Reitz left after four innings, and only one run given up, and was replaced by Nebraska freshman Michael Mekna--who then retired the batters. A good game to boost batting averages, and it is great to see good hitters begin to hit the long ball, as Maddox Molony has for the second time today!

HDuck No. 7 Share Posted March 1 35-1. If anyone is wondering: March 17, 1999 - The Nebraska Cornhuskers set numerous NCAA baseball records Tuesday by defeating Chicago State, 50-3, in the second game of a doubleheader. The game, which had been scheduled for nine innings, ended on the 12-run mercy rule after 6 1/2 innings. Chicago State is 2-9. The previous record for runs was set by West Chester, Pa., which beat Philadelphia Textile, 42-1, on April 7, 1994. The Huskers (12-6) also established an NCAA record for winning margin--47 runs.

30Duck Moderator No. 8 Share Posted March 1 How is it that Oregon "Run Rules" Rhode Island, 15-2, then beats Columbia 35-1? I didn't think Run Rule existed in baseball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDuck No. 10 Share Posted March 1 Oregon's official game recap for Rhode Island, "The two teams mutually agreed to implement a 10-run rule for Saturday's second game of a doubleheader and Sunday's series finale" Me...first, I believe run-rule in baseball only applies to non-conference games per NCAA rules. Rhode Island, was non-conference. But, so was today's game vs Columbia. Then, I believe, the NCAA rule is that a run-rule can only be applied to the second game of a double-header, or the series final game. Today's game with Columbia was the first game of a double-header. NCAA Baseball Run Rule Explained. Here's When It's Used - FloBaseball WWW.FLOBASEBALL.TV Is there a college baseball run rule?
