Matt Mercer and David Peterson had rough starts to begin the series. Both were tagged with losses. Sunday was a new day and after giving up four runs in the first three innings, the Oregon Offense battled to get three of them back. The Bulldogs tagged on another four runs late to win Game One.
Cole Stringer started Game Two and had control early. He threw a career high seven innings as the Oregon Ducks hit the ball when the needed to. Fresno State Pitching fell apart allowing 18 walks as Oregon won their first game of the season 9-1 over the Bulldogs.
