5 hours ago5 hr Administrator No. Boy, we did not see this coming! Gonzaga leads the WCC with a 15-3 record in conference and is 27-14 overall, but a couple of disconcerting notes; they are on a 14 game win streak, and recently swept Portland all three games, and beat Washington twice. (We play Washington this weekend in Seattle, and they just won a series over Michigan...who beat us in Ann Arbor.)It's a TRAP!No idea who the starting pitcher is, but I'm hoping that Ryan Featherston is healed or Cal Scolari is healed and ready. Or Waz could run the gamut of young pitchers for an inning each as he did last week? They did well....can they do it again? Mr. FishDuck
1 hour ago1 hr Author Administrator No. 3-1 Ducks after one inning. Michael Meckna is the Oregon starter, and he gave up a hit that should have been a single, but a fielding error turned it into a triple....that scored on a wild pitch. Two self-inflicted errors gave up the run!Jack Brooks hit deep to LF/CF gap to the warning track for a double. Brayden Jaksa's grounder is overthrown at 1st, so he proceeds to second with Brooks arriving at 3rd base. Maddox Molony hits a sac-fly to score Brooks, and move Jaksa to 3rd. Drew Smith joins the party and hits a sac-fly to score Jaksa!Then Angel Laya scoops a low pitch out with a beautiful swing to put if over the RF wall for a solo homer! Mr. FishDuck
1 hour ago1 hr Author Administrator No. 4-1 Ducks after two innings. Looks like the newbie strategy by Waz for pitching, as Jonah Barkoff, a RS freshman is making his first Oregon appearance. He redshirted last year, and was the No. 1 pitcher in the state of Oregon the year before. He gave up a hit, but created two groundouts and his first strikeout with a nice curve/drop-ball to end the inning.Tyler Jones is making a debut fielding and hitting, and the 6'3" sophomore from WA got his first hit in Eugene. Jack Brooks hits to shallow RF, while Brayden Jaksa walks. Maddox Molony gets his second scoring sacrifice fly to score Jones from third. Mr. FishDuck
1 hour ago1 hr Author Administrator No. 4-2 Ducks after three innings. Another young-gun pitcher, Cooper Markham, is on the hill and he gave up two hits and a run on a sac-fly. His first run given up at Oregon in seven total innings pitched this year....Nothing on offense this innings, as Gonzaga brought in a good relief pitcher.My Duck-Buddies....these mid-week games that start in the afternoon are tough, as I have an appointment I have to run to that cannot be missed. I will be back later to fill in as I can... Mr. FishDuck
