J.B. Bryant picked up an elusive walk-off walk in Oregon’s rubber match with Washington Sunday at PK Park to win 3-2.
After dueling with the Huskies for 10 and one-half innings, the Ducks (25-19, 7-11) loaded the bases in the bottom of the 11th and worked a walk to win the game.
Both teams scored a run in the third inning. Washington manufactured a run set up by a Joey Morgan double, while Mark Karaviotis’ one-out triple set up Jakob Goldfarb’s RBI single.
Washington loaded the bases in the sixth inning on two walks and a hit batter, then pushed a run across to take a 2-1 lead.
Oregon got the equalizer one inning later. Mitchell Tolman hit a one-out double, advanced to third on a wild pitch, then scored on a Phil Craig-St. Louis RBI groundout.
The Ducks took advantage of three walks and a hit batter to win the game in the 11th.
Converted catcher Josh Graham made his first career start and did not disappoint. The Junior allowed just one run on three hits in five innings, but finished with a no decision.
Kohl Hostert was responsible for the earned run in the sixth inning, but Trent Paddon, Steven Nogosek and Garret Cleavinger each pitched two scoreless innings of relief.
Cleavinger (3-1) picked up the win, and struck out the side in both innings.
Oregon will stay at home this week for a three game series against Stanford next weekend.
