Ducks baseball and softball performed as expected today in winning their respective non-conference games. What to take from today’s matches, however, is that both ended closer than expected - or closer than they probably should have been.
Oregon Baseball -
Oregon baseball started the evening with Scott Ellis of the Ducks starting against the Pilots’ KJ Ruffo. Over the course of the game, Oregon would rotate in eight of their pitching staff, giving most of the the pitchers some mid-week time on the mound.
The Ducks struck first in the early innings. Drew Cowley finally played today, after missing the past 21 games, having been injured in the Stanford series in early March.
