Former Oregon Duck Ryne Nelson Makes Pro Debut at PK Park

Nelson was greeted pregame with fans chanting the Oregon Duck Fight Song and when he was announced as he took the mound, he received a rousing round of applause from the Oregon Faithful who watched him at PK Park over the last few seasons as an Oregon player. Nelson saw his first close to sellout crown at his former stadium as a professional which was unfortunate in a way.

Under George Horton, the last few seasons have been a struggle for Oregon Baseball with attendance numbers unless the team was play rival Oregon State.

Ryne Nelson tossed a scoreless first inning, but the Hillsboro Hops lost the game to the hometeam Eugene Emeralds 2-1.
