1 hour ago1 hr Administrator No. Everyone is welcome to join in, and I have no idea who we are starting today... Mr. FishDuck
1 hour ago1 hr Author Administrator No. 0-0 after one inning. The surprise starter is Leo Ulemen, who was a big recruit years ago, and sat out most of the last year and a half due to injuries. He gave up a double to the lead off hitter, who got to third on a wild pitch. Then...the throw from the outfield on a caught fly was overthrown to the backstop, and that was an invitation for the runner to take home. But Ulemen got to the ball in time and fired it to Brayden Jaksa, who made the tag at home for the out!He also had a strikeout on the final batter to get him through a nervous first inning unscathed. Good for him! Mr. FishDuck
1 hour ago1 hr Author Administrator No. 1-0 Ducks after two innings. Leo Uelmen has a nasty inside curve, and a deceptive changeup to compliment his fast ball. The highlight of the inning was a great low catch by Maddox Molony, and then he scrambles on the turf to get to second base to put that runner out. Double Play!Gabe Miranda got a hit through the RF shift against him, and Drew Smith was plinked. Then comes our new DH for this game RSFr. Naulivou Lauaki, another big-guy on the team at 6'5" 265 pounds...who nails one through the LF/CF gap to score Miranda. Oregon stranded two on base... Mr. FishDuck
40 minutes ago40 min Author Administrator No. 1-1 after three innings. Leo Uelmen looked much better than we had seen in the past, but with two outs and runners on the corners...Oregon decided to bring in Michael Meckna. Breaking in Ulemen gradually is a good idea, and he looks like another piece to build in the bullpen.Meckna gave up a hit to allow Xavier their first run, but with a huge moment with bases loaded...got the strikeout! Mr. FishDuck
21 minutes ago21 min Author Administrator No. 1-1 after four innings. Michael Meckna gave up a hit, who then took second...who was then picked-off on a wonderful example of teamwork between Meckna and Ryan Cooney. He kept them scoreless, and is emerging as a reliable option in the Oregon bullpen.The Musketeer pitching is much better this game, and kept us handcuffed. Mr. FishDuck
6 minutes ago6 min Author Administrator No. 1-1 after five innings. Highly regarded true freshman Oregon pitcher Josh Hollis takes over, and while he has taken some lumps in the earlier games--those forge the experience needed for continued innings to build his confidence. He kept Xavier scoreless as the fielding made some great plays to assist him. Mr. FishDuck
