Oregon Downs LMU 6-1 in Series Finale

The Oregon Baseball team concluded their first home series of the season with a 6-1 victory over LMU on Sunday at PK Park.

With two outs and the bases loaded in the bottom of the sixth, Oregon DH Tyler Baumgartner launched a double over the left fielder’s head, clearing the bases. Baumgartner’s first career hit was part of a four run sixth inning that would put the Ducks ahead for good. Oregon earned two insurance runs in the 7th inning without recording a hit in the frame.

Highly regarded freshman southpaw Cole Irvin (2-0) earned the win, allowing just one run in eight innings of work. The Ducks (6-1) host the University of Portland on Tuesday before hitting the road for a weekend series against George Horton’s former team, Cal State Fullerton.
