UCSB tried to win, 

 

 Then it was Oregon's turn:

 

 and another:

 

 and another: 

 

 

 The Ducks would score two more in the top of the 10th for a 9-4 lead. UCSB gets a runner on, but the next batter goes down swinging. 

 

Wow.  Our Beloved Ducks had a 4-1 lead slip away to be tied 4-4 at the end of nine innings, but the Ducks exploded for five runs in the 10th inning!  Robert Ahlstrom (North Eugene) got his first pitching start for this year, and freshman Andrew Mosiello closed it out for the win.  Five runs scored with two outs?  You gotta love the fight in these Ducks!

 

What is crazy is how we would have thought we would won four games off of Seattle, and hope to split with No. 15 Santa Barbara, yet it went the other way around.  That's baseball!  But this team is growing right before our eyes and the return of Kenyon Yovan is huge.  More later, and I sure appreciate the live streaming at Eugene compared to other places.  

 

Above is Tanner Smith about to get another hit and drive in Kenyon Yovan from second!

Yovan and Zavala are on fire. Sure hope they can keep this up for next week against the Beavs. 

 

The pitching has been surprisingly solid. Young guys Ayon and Mosiello look really good. 

 

This was a great series sweep for these guys. They will be headed to Corvallis with some confidence but the Beavs are incredibly tough. Should be fun to watch.
