The Oregon Ducks only put up two hits in Friday’s win over South Dakota State Friday, but it would prove to be enough.

Jake Reed pitched seven strong innings, only allowing one earned run and Ryon Healy had a clutch 2 run RBI double to propel the Ducks.

The Ducks won in typical fashion by doing all the little things, simply playing ‘Horton Ball’. In the 8th inning the Ducks drew a walk, bunted a man into scoring position and got another on base after he was hit by a pitch.

That would set up the Ducks slugger Ryon Healy to send in the go ahead runs. The Ducks will advance in the winners bracket and play tomorrow, Saturday, 6 p.m. versus Rice.
