Pennsylvania Duck Moderator No. 1 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Oregon looks for new lineup to continue to 'click' against Northwestern State With the return of prolific hitters in Tanner Smith and Drew Cowley on top of a top-five recruiting class, it has taken time for the Ducks to get their offense in check. Lineup changes stole the show for the last two weeks, as every regular starter had been moved at least once. Some were significant like Rikuu Nishida sliding from first to ninth or Owen Diodati entirely out of the lineup for all three games in the Washington State series. But, a combination seemed to have cracked some code on Saturday and Sunday against the Cougars, as the Ducks scored 27 runs combined. In those two games, Oregon put up nine extra-base hits, five home runs, 33 total hits, and 12 walks.

Pennsylvania Duck Author Moderator No. 16 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Smith sets program hits record as Ducks roll to win Oregon hit a modern-era program record six home runs while Tanner Smith set a new Ducks' record for career hits in a 16-1 nonconference win over Northwestern State at PK Park on Friday night. Smith started Oregon's 14-hit attack with a second-inning double that broke Gabe Matthews' (2017-21) school record for career hits. Smith's two-bagger gave him 247 for his career and the double was the 55th of his career which is four shy of setting a new school record. Junior third baseman Sabin Ceballos hit two of Oregon's six homers with Smith, Gavin Grant, Jacob Walsh and Dominic Hellman all adding one long ball apiece. Hellman's home run was the freshman's first career bomb. Smith sets program hits record as Ducks roll to win - University of Oregon Athletics GODUCKS.COM Oregon hit a modern era program record 6 home runs in the win Tanner Smith sets all-time hits record as Oregon trounces Northwestern State 16-1 A special day for Tanner Smith turned into a special day for Oregon on Friday. The veteran left fielder wasted no time setting Oregon’s all-time hits record, smacking a double in the second inning to the delight of the Ducks’ dugout and the crowd at PK Park. It was his 247th career hit — and he added two more for good measure. “Just an immense amount of gratitude to think about all the people that have helped me get to that point,” Smith said while choking up in his postgame press conference. “All the coaches, all the players, there’s been some unbelievable people that have helped me put a record like that up there, and I gotta give thanks to everybody that has.” Smith and the Ducks never looked back, going on to hit six homers in a 16-1 thrashing of Northwestern State. It included a pair of three-run bombs from Sabin Ceballos and the first home run of Dominic Hellman’s career. Smith and Gavin Grant were also each one hit shy of a cycle.
