Much like Saturday’s loss, Oregon’s 12-2 loss to Oregon State will be one they will quickly try to forget.

With the loss, Oregon falls two games behind Oregon State in the Pac-12 [...]

The baseball rivalry between Oregon and Oregon State was born before even the former reinstated its baseball program in 2009. It started when the Beavers won back-to-back College World Series titles in 2006 and 2007,which back then made Oregon look like “little brother.” It intensified when Oregon brought baseball back, and now, with both programs [...]

Ryon Healy, [...]
