Charles Fischer Administrator No. 1 Share Posted 4 hours ago We will have a game summary later, if you are a glutton for punishment. It was not our day; we still could have won if Grayson Grinsell pitched as he has this last month, but EVERYONE had a bad day today, pitching, in the field, (how many errors?) batting, and just some bad-luck bounces. Key question...how do the Ducks respond? ------------------------------------------------ 2-0 Nebraska after one inning. It has been a LONG time since Grayson Grinsell gave up a hit, and a two-run homer to start a game. Oregon bats were quiet... Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Fischer Author Administrator No. 4 Share Posted 3 hours ago 3-1 Nebraska after two innings. Jacob Walsh made a rare error that allowed a runner to score with another Cornhusker hit. Anson Aroz hit into the right field corner for a double to start things for Oregon, and the Maddox Molony hit up the middle to score him for the Ducks. Burke-Lee Mabeus was called for batter interference when he momentum after a swing carried him back into the batters box, so the catcher was unable to throw to second to stop a Molony steal. Mabeus was called out, but I do not know how he could have avoided it. Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Fischer Author Administrator No. 5 Share Posted 3 hours ago 3-1 Nebraska after three innings, as Oregon's Grayson Grinsell got 'em 1-2-3 and is looking much sharper. The Ducks have had a ton of bad luck today, and I hope we got it out of the way. Dominic Hellman gets a nice hit, but Walsh nailed a good hit, but it bounced the right way for the Cornhusker pitcher to begin a double-play against us. The breaks got to start going OUR way!

Charles Fischer Author Administrator No. 6 Share Posted 3 hours ago 4-1 Nebraska after four innings, as the breaks continue to flow against Our Beloved Ducks. The Cornhuskers are a team that is only a game over .500 in wins for the season, and needed an error to beat Michigan State. Oregon is not playing their best by a mile, and while we have been down three runs before, (like against Iowa) we gotta turn it around NOW.

I cannot believe how the bounces of the ball have gone against us today… A fouled-up format, no matter the sport = 'bad bounces' for OBD. Just Win! I get it, but why go to a format dumped by the ACC? Because three tournament teams are from the Pacific time zone? Paranoia strikes deep! Why do I feel this way? Perhaps it's due to Nebraska's softball victory being covered front to back by Saturday Tradition, with crickets for OBD's great comeback against Stanford. Proud of the way OBD has represented in the B1G to date? 'YES!' But I'm certain B1G 'traditionalists' aren't all that happy. This tourney perhaps gets one more B1G team into the NCAA PO. But at what cost to teams already in the field? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDuck No. 15 Share Posted 1 hour ago I concur. I doubt UCLA will be in line for a Super Regional. The Ducks had a shot. The Big Ten blew it...maybe not only for a Super but a regional in Eugene as well. The Big Admin should be ashamed. They should never have put their No. 1 seed in that scheduling position. And, I would feel the same way if the 1 seed had been Michigan, Iowa or whichever. It wasn't Friday night rain, or 7:00 am start for excuses... it was the B1G screwing up.

That is an exaggeration...IMHO. The Ducks most certainly are above a No. 17 National Seed, and thus have a Regional secured, while a Super-Hosting is not out of the question.

Oregon did not play like usual today...and after eleven straight wins--that is Baseball. Oregon lost 7-3, to return to Eugene, and find out their fate Monday morning on the Selection Show. 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDuck No. 18 Share Posted 1 hour ago Hope you are right Charles. But, if Penn State knocks off Nebraska this evening, the last memory of Oregon may not be good in the Committee's eyes. If they can give Oregon State and UCLA two Western regionals, not sure they will feel compelled to give one to the Ducks. Thank goodness they notched a win over Michigan State. Hope the Committee takes the circumstances of the B1G scheduling snafu into account. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This clearly was not representative of Oregon baseball. During the broadcast it sounded like the Ducks definitely have a Regional, and a graphic showed that a top 8 seed is deserved, they had the Ducks up against 3 other contenders and Oregon was above all of them. So far, 6 of the Top 16 teams were eliminated early in their conference tournaments. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
