BERKELEY, Calif. — Oregon hit three home runs, scored in seven of the nine innings and got a solid effort from the bullpen in an 11-5 win at California on Thursday night at Evans Diamond.
The win moved Oregon to within a game of league-leading Arizona, who wrapped up its league schedule last week, in the Pac-12 Conference standings. Oregon came into the weekend needing to sweep the Golden Bears (28-25, 14-14 Pac-12) to earn a share of the Pac-12 title.
How It Happened: Oregon took a 6-1 lead into the bottom of the sixth inning with its ace, (8-3) on the mound, but Cal battled back with three runs in the inning to cut the Ducks' lead to two.
