Oregon’s starting pitching of late has been tepid at best, and tonight was no exception, but once again the Ducks bullpen and bats pulled the game away for their tenth straight victory over the Utes.
Tonight’s game featured starters RJ Gordon for the Ducks vs. Matthew Sox for the Utes. After putting away the top of Utah’s order to begin the game, there was some hope that perhaps Oregon fans could see a starting pitcher last more than three innings, but that notion was dashed after the 1-2-3 top of the first. The Ducks mustered a couple of hits in the bottom of the first, but left runners on base after their hitting was shut down by Sox.
