Our third game against Indiana will finally be on TV! First one this season, and the next one won't be for over a month. Only THREE games on television this season, all the rest on streaming, mostly on B1G+.

So check in and watch our Diamond Ducks, and share the discussion with me!

After the game, stay tuned to BTN for the B1G Live Show preview of B1G teams in the NCAA Tournament.

Nine B1G teams are expected to be in the field.

2-0 Hoosiers after one inning. Oregon's stud starter for Sunday, Cal Scolari, must be hurt, as Josh Hollis, a true freshman, is on the hill, and already gave up as many hits in the first inning (two) as Ducks' pitchers did yesterday the entire game.

The Indiana pitcher is good with a 3.12 ERA, so the Ducks have their hands full. So many other pitchers...why Hollis?

4-1 Hoosiers after two innings as Hollis gave up more hits, loaded the bases, and then Tanner Bradley came in to finish the inning.

Maddox Molony hits a deep ball that dies in LF for a double, and then we get a walk and a plinked batter to load the bases with no outs. But we blow the opportunity as Drew Smith was tagged out at home.

6-1 Hoosiers after three innings as Our Beloved Ducks are just having a bad day with errors. Routine throws to first base were blown--not Bradley's fault and pretty surprising to see.

Oregon strands two on base... (What a terrible game to have on TV!)

Boy, are we in for a great comeback!

6-1 Hoosiers after four innings. Tanner Bradley got one, and then Toby Twist took over dispensed the rest. Sure wish one of them would have started the game!

The opposing pitcher is in the zone, and Oregon stranded two...again.

6-5 Hoosiers after six innings. Toby Twist was wonderful putting them away for Oregon.

Boy the Ducks got the bats going! Drew Smith walked, and Angel Laya got a hit to mid-lin RF. Then Josh Schleichardt gets a hit through the gap on left to load the bases! Ryan Cooney nails the CF/RF gap that went to the wall and scored three!

Dominic Hellman blasts one to the wall that scores Cooney. What a difference when the Indiana reliever is in there, not the starter...whew!

6-5 Hoosiers after seven innings. Toby Twist put them down 1-2-3...fantastic.

Another new big-guy, Navivou Lauaki is in at first base for Gabe Miranda.

6-6 after eight innings, as Michael Meckna came in and gave up a double, but dispensed with the rest. He has become a reliable option out of the 'Pen this year thus far.

Josh Schleichardt walked, and Jack Brooks came in the pinch run. Ryan Cooney hits to short-LF, to get two on. Dominic Hellman nails one up the middle as Brooks jets for home to tie it up going into the ninth inning.

Let's Go Ducks!

Ducks win 7-6! Devin Bell gave up a walk, but disposed of the rest as a great closer does!

Maddox Molony walked, and Drew Smith showed bunt, but them pulled it back...a slash! He zings it down third base to get a hit and move Molony to third base. Then Angel Laya gets it drive through the right infield for the WALK-OFF win!

Oregon never led the entire game until that hit! (Game summary always comes out about two hours after the game at the end of this thread)

Did you see that above in post number five written about an hour ago?

I love comebacks in baseball!

Amazing comeback. When was the last time Oregon had a freshman steely-eyed clutch player like Laya?

"Called" victories in sports, where a player or team overtly predicts, guarantees, or acts with supreme confidence to win a seemingly unlikely game, are some of the most iconic moments in athletic history.

 

Here are some of the greatest "called" victories in sports:

1. Joe Namath: Super Bowl III (1969) 

• The Call: Days before Super Bowl III, New York Jets quarterback Joe Namath appeared at a dinner and told fans, "We’re going to win the game. I guarantee it".

2. Babe Ruth: "Called Shot" (1932) 

• The Call: In Game 3 of the 1932 World Series at Wrigley Field, with the Yankees-Cubs series intense, Babe Ruth was heckled by the Cubs dugout. After taking a strike, Ruth famously pointed toward center field—a gesture widely interpreted as calling his home run.

3. Conor McGregor: UFC 194 (2015)

• The Call: Leading up to his fight against the dominant, undefeated (for 10 years) Jose Aldo, McGregor predicted he would knock Aldo out in the first round.

4. Steve Kerr/Stephen Curry: "Called Game" (2019)

• The Call: In Game 5 of the 2019 Western Conference Semifinals, with the Blazers-Thunder series tied, Damian Lillard hit a 37-foot three-pointer at the buzzer to eliminate OKC, immediately pointing to his wrist, saying "Game".

5. Charles Fisher: Called Comeback (2026)

• The Call: Down 6-1 , after blowing two defensive plays at first base and stranding two men on base in their half of the inning, things looked a bit dire for OBD. Not to worry, as Mr. Fishduck confidently declared, "Boy, are we in for a great comeback!" And so it was. Great call Charles!
