This game is in sunny California, although it looks like it would have been fine today at PK Park. We owed them a series at their house when a prior one scheduled was terminated due to flooding on the eve of the series in the past.

Santa Barbara....home of FishDuck.com writer Alex Heining, and one of my favorite '90s band, Toad-the-Wet-Sprocket.

The pitcher for Santa Barbara Gauchos has not been announced, but I assume it will be Jackson Flora, who has an incredible ERA of 0.94 and will go up against Oregon's Will Sanford. (1.44 ERA)

The other Gaucho starters also look really good in Nathan Aceves, (3.77) and Kellen Montgomery. (3.86) In terms of hitting--Oregon has the edge with more homers, and six starters hitting over .300 while Santa Barbara has four.

Looks like another low-scoring scrappy game!

Will Sanford

0-0 after one inning. I guessed correctly on the Gaucho starter, and man...he has nasty sideways action, and hasn't given up a run in over a dozen innings?

Good test for our hitters. Meanwhile Oregon's Will Sanford gave up a walk and a plinked batter, but generated three fly balls.

0-0 after two innings. The Ducks have a hard time hitting the Santa Barbara pitcher, but got some gifts in a walk, and getting plinked...but stranded them.

Will Sanford brushed away the opposing batters, 1-2-3.

0-0 after three innings. So isn't this lovely? It was stated that the Gaucho pitcher, Jackson Flora, was named the No. 2 Prospect for the MLB Draft! No wonder we are having trouble with him! But Oregon's Ryan Cooney got a double, and Jax Gimenez walked...and we left them stranded.

Meanwhile Will Sanford got into a bases-loaded jam, and you could see him mentally lock-in and strike out the next two batters. Whew!

P.S. When you doing intermittent fasting as I and the eating window comes open? I'm cooking dinner-baby! So next innings will be late reporting...
