Oregon’s 3-game road series against UC Santa Barbara showed real promise early on. With terrible baseball weather engulfing most of California, the Ducks got a break and the series was moved to the friendly confines of PK Park. Unfortunately, Oregon decided to go ahead and look that gift horse right in the mouth, dropping the Friday afternoon game 6 – 2 for their first loss of the season.
On Saturday, the teams played twice more with similar results. In the first game, the Ducks just didn’t seem ready and were not competitive in any phase of the game.
