The ninth-ranked Ducks have now won six games in a row, completing series sweeps of Washington and Utah in the process. 
Oregon’s batters were clicking once again, recording 10 hits as a team, compared to Utah’s five, and hitting at .270 as a team. 

The Ducks led a close 2-1 game at the end of the fourth inning, but they broke it open in the top of the fifth, scoring five runs in the inning.

Kenyon Yovan, coming off a big game on Saturday, and Aaron Zavala each had doubles, and Josh Kasevich recorded a single in the fifth to help boost the Ducks lead to 7-2.
