Charles Fischer Administrator No. 1 Share Posted Sunday at 06:36 PM Game summary will be at the end of the thread later! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Today is a big day for Oregon's true freshman pitcher Will Sanford, as he is now an official weekend starter for the B1G conference season. He has been impressive thus far with a low 2.19 ERA, and both Coach Waz and the players say that we have not yet seen his best stuff. The opposing USC pitcher has an ERA over 6.00, but you know how Baseball is; he could have a lights-out day, while the freshman gets the jitters--who knows? But it is a big test as he has edged out Jason Reitz as the No. 3 pitcher for the moment, and this is his chance to show everyone that he belongs against a good conference foe. (Reitz was fantastic on Friday in relief with four scoreless innings) Let's Go Ducks! 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Fischer Author Administrator No. 3 Share Posted Sunday at 08:15 PM 2-0 Ducks after three innings. Sanford continues to get strikeouts for Oregon, while USC replaced their starter, and is on their second reliever already. Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Fischer Author Administrator No. 4 Share Posted Sunday at 08:38 PM 3-0 Ducks after four innings, as Oregon starter on the hill, Will Sanford, continues to befuddle the USC batters. His pitch count is high, but I expect to see him out there for the fifth inning. I love how Oregon implemented two sacrifice flies to move and score!

Charles Fischer Author Administrator No. 5 Share Posted Sunday at 08:53 PM 3-0 Ducks after five innings. Coach Waz stated in the pregame interview that the Trojans have some very good relievers, and we are seeing that as the Ducks are having a hard time cracking them. But Sanford went 1-2-3 again, and I wonder what Oregon's pitching coach, Hawk, is going to do. Sanford's pitch count is at 84, but he is looking good. How built up is his arm? Take a chance with him keeping it going or with the bullpen? Will Sanford last week... Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Fischer Author Administrator No. 6 Share Posted Sunday at 09:27 PM 3-3 after six innings. Damn...it was going so well, and then the Trojans hit a two-run homer off Sanford. He was replaced by true freshman Michael Meckna, but damage was done. Let's go Ducks! Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Fischer Author Administrator No. 7 Share Posted Sunday at 09:56 PM 5-3 Ducks at the end of the seventh inning. Some great hitting by Oregon's Jacob Walsh and Maddox Molony, and Meckna was replaced by transfer Julian Hernandez on the mound. Then, Ryan Featherston was brought in the two outs and bases-loaded and got the fly-ball out to save the inning. Whew! Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Fischer Author Administrator No. 10 Share Posted Sunday at 10:13 PM 5-3 Ducks after eight innings! I've been holding my breath with Ryan Featherston pitching, but he got three fly-balls to go 1-2-3 and now on to the ninth!
