Rice Tops Oregon 1-0 in Eugene Regional

Posted on by admin

Behind the right arm of Jordan Stephens, the no. 2 seed Rice Owls beat the tournament no. 1 and national no. 8 seed Oregon Ducks 1-0 Saturday night at PK Park to take control of the Eugene Regional. Stephens struck out a career high 11 batters while allowing just two hits in a complete game shutout.

Oregon plays San Francisco on Sunday at noon in an elimination game. Should the Ducks win, they would have to beat Rice twice to advance to the Super Regionals. George Horton has slotted freshman lefty Cole Irvin to start against USF in tomorrow’s contest.

OSU Clinches Series With A 12-2 Win Over Oregon

Posted on by admin

The fourth ranked Oregon State Beavers topped no. 6 Oregon in convincing fashion on Sunday with a series clinching 12-2 victory at PK Park. The win puts Oregon State two games ahead of the Ducks in the Pac-12 standings at 22-5.

The Beavers pulled away early with five runs in the second, fueled by a two out grand slam by Michael Conforto. Conforto finished 3-5 on the day with 6 RBI.

Oregon pitcher Jake Reed (6-4) gave up seven runs, two earned and lasted less than three innings, while OSU’s Ben Wetzler (7-1) threw six full before being relieved of duties for the day.

The baseball edition of the Civil War will be played for a fifth time this season when these two teams meet in what will be considered a non-conference game this Tuesday. The season series is tied at 2-2.
