Who: No. 23 Arizona
(23-13, 5-7 Pacific-10
Conference) at Oregon (19-16, 2-7 Pac-10)
What: Pac-10 Baseball Game
Where: PK Park
When: 6 p.m. Thursday
Summary: On paper, Oregon’s series with the Wildcats looks like a
prime opportunity for the Ducks to climb up the Pac-10 standings. Oregon, which has received
improved play from a
number of contributors
in recent weeks, has won five of its last seven.
Conversely, Arizona has lost six of its past nine games and has been
woeful on the road. While 18-5 in the friendly confines of Frank Sancet Stadium, the Wildcats are only 5-8 away from home this season.
Key stat: Though
Oregon’s pitching staff
can compete with any in the Pac-10, Arizona’s offense has been far more productive than the Ducks’ thus far. Five Wildcat starters claim slugging percentages north of .500, compared to only one Duck (Stefan Sabol).
