Charles Fischer Author Administrator No. 2 Share Posted Saturday at 08:42 PM 0-0 after two innings. One thing about TV versus live streaming is that you can really see the movement of the pitches better. Damn...Oregon's Grayson Grinsell has some of those pitches cooking...

Charles Fischer Author Administrator No. 4 Share Posted Saturday at 09:04 PM 2-1 Ducks after three innings. Dominic Hellman got an RBI on a double...when in a full-count! You GOT to see this sweet pick-off move at second base below by Grayson Grinsell and Ryan Cooney! Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Fischer Author Administrator No. 5 Share Posted Saturday at 09:24 PM 3-1 Ducks after four innings. Drew Smith was injured in the first part of this year, and in the past had played third base and second base. Today he is in Right Field, and hit his second home run in the past two games. Good to have some more muscle in the lineup! Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Fischer Author Administrator No. 9 Share Posted Saturday at 11:02 PM Ducks win 5-4 with a comeback in the ninth! Maryland was tough as they hit their way back and took a 4-3 lead at the end of eight innings, but Oregon fought through with great at-bats to score two runs in the ninth, and then Oregon Reliever Seth Mattox came in to close out the Terps 1-2-3! Whew! My apologies for not posting the score at end of eight, but the whole thing got me rattled, and I had to take an extended restroom break. Talk about PUCKER-TIME! Drew Smith continues his hot hitting... Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

30Duck Moderator No. 12 Share Posted Sunday at 01:11 AM The announcers said, "that was a great game!" I suppose it was, and thrillers are fun, But, a relaxing baseball game it wasn't! The announcers were very good I thought, had very nice comments throughout the game for OBD, and when Maryland took the lead, they said that a win over Oregon would definitely be Maryland's "game of the year!" It was also interesting, early in the game they noted that Oregon had a lot of big guys in the lineup, an observation that was never uttered during the Horton era. They also mentioned that, at Purdue, Wasilkowski coached "small ball", another remnant of Horton, that thankfully is gone. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Fischer Author Administrator No. 13 Share Posted Sunday at 01:34 AM Smith Sparks Ducks Ninth-Inning Rally COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Making his first start since Feb. 22, Drew Smith homered and delivered two key ninth inning plays that helped No. 15 Oregon rally for a 5-4 come-from-behind win over Maryland at Bob “Turtle” Smith Stadium on Saturday in game one of the Big Ten Conference series. Smith, who suffered a lower-body injury in game one of a doubleheader on Feb. 22 against Rhode Island and missed the next 16 games, had an RBI single, stole a base and scored the go-ahead run in the top of the ninth. Anson Aroz led off the final inning with a walk and stole second to get into scoring position. Smith made the steal matter singling through the right side, scoring Aroz to tie the game. Smith, who advanced to second on the throw to the plate, swiped third to set up the winning run. That came when Ryan Cooney lifted a 1-2 pitch deep into left field allowing Smith to tag and score. Seth Maddox, who got the final out of the eighth inning after coming out of the bullpen, retired to Terrapins in order in the ninth to pick up his first career win at Oregon. Drew Smith How it Happened: Oregon (23-9, 11-5 Big Ten) took the lead by scoring a pair of runs in the second inning. Mason Neville worked a one-out walk and scored when Dominic Hellman ripped a double into the right-center field gap. Hellman moved to third on a passed ball and then scored on a Jacob Walsh RBI ground out. Maryland (15-20, 3-10 Big Ten) got one back in its half of the inning, but Oregon answered in the fourth when Smith homered just to the right side of the batter’s eye in center field. The Terrapins took a 4-3 lead, hitting solo home runs in the sixth, seventh and eighth innings to set up Oregon’s dramatic ninth inning. Box Score Notes: Oregon won game one of a series for the sixth straight week, while running the season total to game-one wins to seven in eight weeks … Walsh’s eighth-inning double extended his hitting streak to nine games and his reached base streak to 26 games … The double was the 56th of Walsh’s career, just two behind Gabe Matthews who ranks second in career doubles at Oregon …Grayson Grinsell battled through 5.2 innings allowing just two runs on three hits despite walking six (none came around to score) … Grinsell’s five Ks gave him 222 in his career, tying Jon Wheeler (1967-69) for fifth all-time at UO. On Deck: The Ducks and Terrapins will play a doubleheader on Sunday to wrap up the series. First pitch is at 9:02 a.m. (PT). Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave23 No. 14 Share Posted Sunday at 03:46 AM Unfortunately I had to work for the second half of the game, a little bit more of a nale biter than I thought it was going to be. 3 Homes in 3 innings to take the lead for the Terps was probably more than I wanted to see but the strong finish is exact the type of thing that makes for great baseball. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
