— Oregon baseball’s awakened bats were a major reason why the Ducks won consecutive weekend Pac-12 series. However, as manager George Horton noted last Saturday, a surge in hitting has coincided with struggles on the mound. Matt Krook exemplified this Thursday, giving up four runs in the first inning of a 6-3 loss to UCLA.
— Oregon men’s and women’s tennis didn’t have successful outings Thursday. The men lost in the Pac-12 second round to Stanford, 4-0. Oregon’s next game is dependent upon an NCAA Tournament bid. If the Ducks receive a bid, the NCAA regionals will be held May 13-14.
— All four Oregon women’s tennis players fell on the first day of singles play in the Pac-12 tournament, which has been a common theme for the second half of the season, after three players were removed from the team. Marlou Kluiving, Alyssa Tobita, Shweta Sangwan and Nia Rose each lost their singles matches in the championship bracket. Kluging, who was in the invitational bracket, was the exception.
— Oregon softball is back in action Friday at Arizona State. The Ducks ride a five-game winning streak into the three game series.
“I’m raring to go right now, and I think the players are too,” head coach Mike White said before Wednesday’s practice. “Only time will tell whether this [weekend off] is a good thing or a bad thing.”

— Devon Allen has dedicated this spring solely to track and field, and it has started out as a roaring success.  The redshirt sophomore dominated at both the Pepsi Invitational and the Oregon Relays over the past two weekends, including a meet record in the 110-meter hurdles at the Pepsi Invitational and Oregon Relays. At both meets, he won the 110 and 400 hurdles, and helped the 4×100 relay teams to first place finishes.
