TV on Pac12 Network. Radio on the Oregon Sports Network.

 

Perhaps we will see the return of infielder Drew Cowley from injury?

[ICamel]

1st inning;

 

Ducks with three infield groundouts = 0 Runs, 0 Hits, 0 Errors, 0 LOB

 

Isaac Ayon pitching for Oregon

 

Ayon sets the Huskies down in order on a groundout and two flyouts.

0 Runs, 0 Hits, 0 Errors, 0 LOB

[ICamel]

2nd inning;

 

A one out single by Josh Kasevich puts the first runner of the game on base. A fielders choice moves Kasevich to second, but he didn't advance from there. 0 Runs, 1 Hit, 0 Errors, 1 LOB.

 

A two out double into the right field corner yields the same result as Oregon had in the top half of the inning.

0 Runs, 1 Hit, 0 Errors, 1 LOB.

 

Ducks 0 - Washington 0

[ICamel]

3rd inning;

 

Jack Scanlon on base with a leadoff walk. Husky announcers bitching about how close the on deck batter is to home plate. Umpire isn't buying it. Scanlon moves to second on a wild pitch. Tanner Smith draws a walk on four straight pitches. Connor Shade hit a ball to deep center that is caught at the warning track, but moves Scanlon to third base. Brennan Milone legs out a single to third base and Jack Scanlon scampers home with the first score for Oregon.

1 Run, 1 Hit, 0 Errors, 2 LOB

 

Ayon gives up a one out, two run single to left field which was mishandled by Tanner Smith.

2 Runs, 2 Hits, 2 Errors, 1 LOB

 

Oregon 1 - Washington 2 after three innings.

 

 

[ICamel]

4th inning;

Oregon gets a two out single to right field by Sam Novitske, but that is all in the top of the fourth inning.

0 Runs, 1 Hit, 0 Errors, 1 LOB

 

Ayon loaded the bases with a two out walk to the #9 Washington batter.  Another walk on four straight pitches scores the Huskies third run. A single to left field brings in two more runners. Ayon gets out of the inning with a strikeout, but the damage has been done.

3 Runs, 2 Hits, 0 Errors, 2 LOB

 

Ducks 1 - Dawgs 5 at the end of the fourth inning.

[Duck 1972]

Gosh our starting pitching has got to be better.

[ICamel]

5th inning;

Gavin Grant gets on base with an infield single.

After an out Colby Shade goes yard to left field putting Oregon within two runs.

 

 

 

After the second out Jacob Walsh worked a free pass to first base. Josh Kasevich hit a single to advance Walsh to third. Anthony Hall ground out to the pitcher, but Oregon scratches out two runs.

2 Runs, 3 Hits, 0 Errors, 2 LOB

 

Ayon gets ejected after he plunks the leadoff Husky hitter in the back. Strange call by the home plate umpire. Logan Mercado will pitch for Oregon with a runner on first and no outs. Logan gets out of the inning thanks in part to Jack Scanlon throwing out the runner trying to steal second base.

0 Runs, 0 Hits, 0 Errors, 0 LOB

 

Ducks 3 - Dawgs 5

 

[Duck 1972]

The " come back kids".

[ICamel]

6th inning;

After Josiah Cromwick strikes a pinch hit double down the right field line a line drive by Gavin Grant to third base gets Cromwick doubled out a second base. The third baseman for Washington has made some stellar fielding and throwing plays today.

0 Runs, 1 Hit, 0 Errors, 0 LOB

 

An out and two singles puts runners at the corners. A pitchout strands the runner between third and home where things went awry. A bad throw to third, and a throw to home plate hit the runner allowing the run to score.

1 Run, 2 Hits, 1 Errors, 1 LOB.

 

Oregon 3 - Washington 6

[ICamel]

7th inning;

Tanner Smith gets to first base when he is hit by a pitch. Hmmmm, why wasn't the Washington pitcher ejected?

Colby Shade can't duplicate his fifth inning heroics with a long flyout to right center field. Huskies bring in their "closing" pitcher to face Brennan Milone and he draws a walk to put Ducks at second and first with one out. Jacob Walsh with a swinging strike for out number two. Josh Kasevich flies out to center to end the top of the seventh.

0 Runs, 0 Hits, 0 Errors, 2 LOB

 

Mercado sets the Huskies down in order with three groundouts.

0 Runs, 0 Hits, 0 Errors, 0 LOB

 

Oregon 3 - Huskies 6

 

Two innings for our Ducks to get back in this!

[ICamel]

8th inning;

Anthony Hall gets us started with a leadoff triple into the right field corner. Sam Novitske hit an "excuse me" single to center field to score Hall. Josiah Cromwick gets a single through the right side of the infield. Runners at second and first with no outs. Gavin Grant places a bunt between the pitcher and third base which the pitcher throws wild to first base scoring Novitske. Colby Shade hit a single to right field scoring Cromwick. Shade steals second base to put two runners in scoring position. Brennan Milone comes through with a single that scores Gavin Grant and Colby Shade, and just like that Oregon has taken an 8-6 lead.

5 Runs, 6 Hits, 1 Error, 1 LOB

 

Logan Mercado retires Washington in order.

0 Runs, 0 Hits, 0 Errors, 0 LOB

 

Oregon 8 - Washington 6

 

On to the 9th inning!

[ICamel]

9th inning;

After two outs Josiah Cromwick gets hit on his fingers to put him on first base. We hope nothing serious with respect to injury!

0 Runs, 0 Hits, 0 Errors, 1 LOB

 

Will Coach Wasikowski stick with Logan Mercado to face Washington in the bottom of the ninth? Nope, Waz brings in his closer Kolby Somers.

Flyout to right field. Strikeout. Walk. Groundout to short.

0 Runs, 0 Hits, 0 Errors, 1 LOB

DUCKS WIN AGAIN!

Take the series!

 

Oregon 8 - Doogs 6
