Charles Fischer Author Administrator No. 7 Share Posted 14 hours ago 4-0 Ducks after two innings, as the Husky pitcher is giving Oregon batters way-too-many beachballs over the plate. Duck starter Jason Reitz, (Lurch, as 30Duck likes to say) had given up some hits and walks...but kept Washington scoreless. Meanwhile Mason Neville takes the first pitch in the first inning, and gets his 26th home run of the season. Anson Aroz takes the second pitch of the second inning, and puts it over center field! Maddox Molony nails a liner to the deep gap in left/center field to get a double, and then Chase Meggers hits a two-run dinger over the center field wall! We NEED Meggers back with his bat, as he was the leading batter last year, and is only now healing from injuries. Perfect timing! Unfortunately, the Ducks still stranded two base runners!

Charles Fischer Author Administrator No. 10 Share Posted 14 hours ago 4-0 Ducks after three innings, as Jason Reitz put down the Huskies 1-2-3 with just six pitches. He has 47 pitches in three innings, so he could go deeper into the game. Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Fischer Author Administrator No. 11 Share Posted 14 hours ago 4-0 Ducks after four innings, as Jason Reitz gives up a hit, but won't give a dog a bone. He has 61 pitches after four innings, thus looks good for now! Gotta get the bats going again! Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Fischer Author Administrator No. 12 Share Posted 14 hours ago 5-0 Ducks after five innings, as Jason Reitz put Washington down in order with his fourth KO. Just 71 pitches after five innings? Looking GOOD! I am frustrated when we get bases-loaded, no outs, and do not sacrifice two outs to score two in a tough game. We did score Dominic Hellman from third on a Maddox Molony deep fly-ball to left field.

EastBayDuckDad Moderator No. 13 Share Posted 14 hours ago Reitz now at 100 pitches thru six innings of work. 3 hit shutout with a five run lead. Fusky hitters making contact but getting under it for a lot of FBs. Control still OK but he's taken some velocity off. Does Waz pull him? Plenty of relievers and closers to bring it home. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Fischer Author Administrator No. 15 Share Posted 13 hours ago 5-0 Ducks after six innings, as Jason Reitz has Washington scoreless.... Will he come out for the seventh? I don't want to injure his arm, but Oregon keeping a Husky quiet...is pretty amazing. Good, a pitching change to Ian Umlandt...where we have a proven performer, and he is a complete change of pitcher for the batters.

Charles Fischer Author Administrator No. 36 Share Posted 8 hours ago Senior Day Ends with Sweep of Huskies EUGENE, Ore. — By surviving some tense moments in the late innings on Senior Day, the Oregon baseball team kept alive its winning streak entering the final weekend of the regular season. The No. 5 Ducks (38-13, 19-8 Big Ten) took a five-run lead Sunday at PK Park and then held off Washington’s comeback attempt to win for the seventh time in a row, 5-3, before 3,858 fans. Win or lose Sunday, Oregon still would have needed to sweep Iowa next week to have a chance at a conference title, but a win kept the Ducks one game behind second-place UCLA, rather than two. “Us winning three games against Iowa would put us in front of them,” UO coach Mark Wasikowski said. “I don't know how the rest of it shakes out, but that's an awesome place, for us to try to challenge for the league championship in our last weekend of the year.” UO starter Jason Reitz (4-0) gave the Ducks six shutout innings Sunday, and Jaxon Jordan got the final two outs of the eighth with the bases loaded after UW had rallied within 5-3. Mason Neville and Anson Aroz both padded their double-digit home run totals, and catcher Chase Meggers hit his first of the year before throwing out a runner trying to steal second to end the game. “It felt really good,” Meggers said of his homer. “I think the biggest thing was, my mom's here and it's Mother's Day, and I wouldn't be here without her. So it's kind of special to hit that in front of her.” How It Happened: After Reitz pitched around a two-out single in the first, national player of the year candidate Mason Neville extended his UO single-season record by leading off the bottom of the first with his 26th home run of the season. Jason Reitz was superb.... Reitz had to work in the second inning, pitching around two walks. He settled in after that, allowing just two singles over four innings the rest of the way for a scoreless effort with his team in the thick of a conference title race. “The energy is definitely up, but you just got to look at it like a normal game,” said Reitz, who struck out five while walking two and allowing three hits. “Go out and do your thing.” Oregon’s offense backed Reitz in the bottom of the second with three runs. Aroz led off with a solo homer, Maddox Molony followed with a double and then Meggers hit his first home run of the season for a 4-0 lead. With Reitz cruising, the Ducks gave him an insurance run in the fifth. Dominic Hellman led off with a single, Jacob Walsh followed with a base hit and Drew Smith walked to load the bases. Two batters later, Molony lofted a fly ball that scored Hellman on a sacrifice fly. Washington got two back in the seventh after Reitz wrapped up his day, on a double and a one-out home run that made it 5-2. Ryan Featherston came on to retire the next two hitters and end the threat. The Huskies scored again in the eighth, loading the bases with one out and then getting within 5-3 on a wild pitch. A walk loaded the bases again with one out, but Jordan came on to end the inning, striking out the final hitter on a nasty breaking ball with the count full. Jaxon Jordan celebrates a big out... “The most important thing, especially in a situation like that, is just trust your stuff and don't be cautious — just let it go,” Jordan said. “So that's what I tried to do.” Seth Mattox earned his sixth save by getting the final out of the ninth, with some help. He entered with one on and two out, then surrendered a single that put runners at the corners. But the runner from first looked to steal second, and Meggers gunned him down to end the game. “Seth's really good, and it was a right-on-right matchup so I kind of figured that they might gamble a little bit, because it's not an easy matchup for their guy,” Meggers said. “(UO assistant coach Jack) Marder looked at me and said, ‘Throw it through when he goes.’ And he went and so I threw it.” Notable: Neville’s walk in the second inning was his 51st of the season, a new UO single-season record. … Neville came into the day tied for the record with Aaron Zavala (2021). … Neville’s run scored on his leadoff homer was his 64th of the year, tied for second in UO single-season history behind Rikuu Nishida (67, 2023). Up Next: The Ducks play at Iowa on Thursday (4 p.m., FS1). HEY...it is on TV! Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
