Charles Fischer Administrator No. 14 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Actually, I believe we play the loser of the 'Furd and the Devils at 9:00 AM on Thursday... Another reason why I dislike a tournament; we play 30 league games and that is not enough to establish the official champion? And now this loss will diminish the winning streak we had at the end of the season? Pack your bags for Spokane.. (And yeah...we beat them twice) Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Axel No. 17 Share Posted May 25, 2022 I've studied and witnessed hundreds of baseball games over the years, and this Ducks loss is in the top 10 of all-time worst. It's possible that this loss could cost the Ducks the chance to host an NCAA regional. Anytime you score 6 runs in a baseball game, you should win it. The Ducks' pitching was terrible and that's being kind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those weren't ones that just sneaked over the fence in left field either. They landed well beyond the fence. Seven of Arizona's eleven hits came from Susac, Davis, and Caulfield.

ICamel Author No. 19 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Arizona State lost to Stanford, so Oregon will face the Sun Devils on Thursday at 9AM. The loser of that game is eliminated from the Pac12 Baseball Tournament. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Axel No. 20 Share Posted May 25, 2022 The Stanford Crayola score 6 runs and stay in the winners' bracket. The Ducks score 6 runs and fall to the losers' bracket. Oregon will need to defeat Arizona State in another breakfast game on Thursday and then defeat either Arizona or Stanford twice in order to advance to the championship game. In order to win the Pac-12 tournament, the Ducks must win four consecutive games. One loss knocks the Ducks out. Oregon State plays the horrible Huskies at 4:45 p.m. today. I'm hardly a Beavers fan, but in my eyes, any team that plays those screwballs from Seattle is the light of the world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
