What can only be described as a disappointing baseball season came to an end for the Ducks this afternoon. Louisville took advantage of anemic Oregon bats and untimely pitching mistakes to win 8 - 5 and close out the Ducks in the Regional.
One day after setting a program and Pac-12 postseason record for hits and scoring 18 runs against SE Missouri State, Oregon did not generate much offense against the Cardinals and repeatedly missed chances to plate runners in scoring position. Oregon’s post-season was littered with poor offensive production and the Ducks averaged fewer than 5 runs per game in the Pac-12 Tournament and in the Regional outside the SEMO game.
