Oregon split today’s double-header with Ball State, losing a very close first game in the late innings and dominating the Cardinals in the late innings of the second game.
The early game pitted starter Issac Ayon against Tyler Schweitzer. Ayon pitched very well and blanked Ball State during the 6 1⁄3 innings that he pitched. The Ducks jumped on the board with a first inning home run from Tanner Smith, then both sides were quiet until the 7th inning. In the seventh, Ayon gave up a couple of singles and Oregon brought in Kolby Somers in relief.
