Brunch Bracket Ducks: Baseball Faces ASU in Elimination Game

Anyone who has played or coached in a “double elimination” tournament will tell you - don’t lose a game early. It uses up your entire margin for error, normally forces you to play early morning games, and to play more total games in the tournament than if you just keep winning. Oregon violated that unwritten rule, falling to #5 Arizona in the Pac-12 Baseball Tournament opener yesterday. The Ducks now have to play at 9:00 am (again), this time against the #8 seed Arizona State Sun Devils in an elimination game. The Sun Devils played a close loss against Stanford yesterday.
