Ducks begin challenging three-week stretch of conference play starting Friday against Arizona

 

Over the next three weeks of Pac-12 baseball, each team will have a much better idea of where their team stands amongst the rest. 

 

As of Thursday, Oregon sits in sixth place in the Pac-12, playing in only six conference games, tied for the fewest with Arizona State. The Sun Devils, surprisingly, leads the Pac-12 with a 5-1 record, but Stanford and USC sport a 7-2 record. 

 

Oregon will go through arguably their toughest stretch of conference play starting on Friday, as they travel to Tucson and take on the Arizona Wildcats before hosting rival Oregon State and Pac-12 preseason favorite Stanford.

Oregon pitching coach Jake Angier discusses starters’ success and challenges of handling a young staff

 

Underneath all the offensive flare, one area quietly slipped under the radar for Oregon last weekend: starting pitching.

 

Oregon’s starters struggled badly against Washington State two weekends ago, despite the team’s overall series victory. However, in a young season that has already seen so many ups and downs, there was another “up,” as the pitchers thrived en route to a four-game sweep of the Northwestern State Demons.

 

“It’s not going to be sunshine and rainbows all the time,” pitching coach Jake Angier said. “But that’s why I’m doing it. I’m having fun with it. These guys are young, and they’re growing and they’re getting better, and you can see it with their confidence in what they’re doing.”

Oregon finds a lineup that works during six-game winning streak

 

If this Oregon baseball season has proven anything, it’s that so much can change from week to week, and even game to game.

 

The Ducks have now continued a rather odd pattern in their rollercoaster season. They started with a four-game sweep; they followed by getting swept in three games. Then they won five in a row, and then they lost four in a row.

 

Now, they’re on a commanding six-game winning streak. For those keeping score at home, that’s 4-3, 5-4, 6 — a trend which would require them to lose five in a row to keep the pattern going.

 

But if they play anywhere as well as they did last weekend against Northwestern State, it’s hard to envision that happening — particularly if they keep swinging the bats the way they are, with an absurd 73 runs in that six-game span.

Jace Stoffal and Austin Anderson combined for a dominant performance on the mound and Oregon exploded for 21 hits in a 15-3 Pac-12 Conference win at Arizona on Friday night at Hi Corbett Field.

With a six-game winning streak heading into three straight weeks of Pac-12 play, Oregon took their offense south with them in a 15-3 win to begin a three-game series against Arizona. 

 

After scoring double-digits in five of their past six games, the Ducks quickly added another game to their resume, setting a season-high 22.

 

By the top of the fifth inning, every Oregon starter registered at least one hit, with Colby Shade becoming the final one to do so. 

 

Over Oregon’s seven-game winning streak, the Ducks have combined to outscore opponents 88-10, once again reaching the double-digit mark on Friday night.

Ranks right up there as one of the most incredible come-backs I've seen!  Oregon put up huge numbers last weekend, and Waz was telling us that the Northwestern State pitchers were actually quite good. Not many of us believed him, as we discounted the opponent.

 

Well, the Ducks just put 15 and 13 on ARIZONA, thus this group of Oregon hitters is a sight to see. The Ducks pounded seven runs last night on a projected Top-100 MLB Draft prospect, so Oregon is for real!

No Joke, Ducks stun Wildcats rallying from 10 down

 

Oregon battled back from a 10-run deficit for a 13-11 win at Arizona in Pac-12 Conference play on Saturday night at Hi Corbett Field.
 
Sabin Ceballos capped the Ducks epic rally giving Oregon the lead for the first time in the game with a two-run single in the top of the ninth that scored Colby Shade and Drew Cowley. Closer Josh Mollerus recorded the final three outs in the bottom half of the inning for his third save.
 
Oregon entered the ninth trailing 11-10 after whittling what appeared to be an Arizona commanding 10-run lead after two innings to a single run after the eighth.
 
Like he had done throughout the game, Rikuu Nishida sparked the Ducks (17-7, 5-3 Pac-12) rally with a one-out double to set the table for Oregon's 2-3-4 hitters who combined for six hits and seven RBI during the game.
 
Shade followed Nishida's two-bagger with his own double, a line-shot into the left-center field gap to score Nishida and tie the game. Cowley followed with a chopper through the six-hole moving Shade to third with one out. Ceballos responded lining a 2-ball, 1-strike pitch into left field to score both runners.

Sweep complete, Ducks win at Arizona

 

Drew Cowley homered twice and drove in five runs to lead Oregon to an 8-5 Pac-12 Conference win over Arizona at Hi Corbett Field on Sunday afternoon.
 
The win clinched a series sweep over the Wildcats (14-12, 3-9 Pac-12), the first for a visiting team at Arizona since the 2018 season. Oregon (18-7, 6-3) picked up its ninth straight win with five of those coming in Pac-12 play.

Eight extra-base hits lead Oregon to a three-game sweep over Arizona

 

Less than 24 hours after the largest comeback in program history, Oregon took the lead early on Sunday afternoon and never looked back, beating the Arizona Wildcats, 8-5. 

 

Sunday's win secured a series sweep over Arizona, moving them to 18-7 and 6-3 in conference play. Oregon now sits in third place in the conference behind USC and Stanford. 

 

On Saturday, Oregon trailed 10-0 after the game's first two innings. Sunday's start was much different, as the Ducks got off to a 2-1 lead after two innings, as last night's hero, Sabin Ceballos, drove in Rikuu Nishida for the Ducks' first run. 

 

Jacob Walsh clubbed his third home run of the series, this time to right-center, as extra-base hits stole the headlines on Sunday.
