Going into their series with Oregon State, the Oregon baseball team knew the results would say more about them as a team this season than any other series. The men had been successful, winning 15 of their last 16 games and sweeping the last three weekend series, but Oregon State was a measuring stick on [...]
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 [...]
How good is Oregon pitching? In the 30 innings the Ducks spent at Bill Davis Stadium this weekend, the Buckeyes managed to plate just one run.

The Sun Devils are an accomplished team with a strong pitching staff including Ryan Kellogg, who threw a no-hitter in a [...]
Going into the season, Oregon pitching had defined itself as the top aspect of the team and had higher expectations than the offense, and probably even the defense. Jake Reed was coming off of a strong freshman year when he went 8-4 with 15 starts and a 2.92 ERA and took on the role of [...]
It was advertised as a pitcher’s duel, and was it ever. Vanderbilt ace Kevin Ziomek turned in an absolute gem, striking out 13 Ducks in a complete game victory. Jake Reed was solid for the Ducks, but was ultimately doomed by giving up three in the second inning as the Commodores took game one of [...]

You wouldn’t know it from walking outside, but spring is almost here. Sure, Oregon winter will roll straight on through to July like it usually does, but, technically, spring exists.
