Oregon’s Diamond Ducks were back in action today, facing the second games of their respective Pac-12 Conference season-opening series. After both teams opened with wins on Friday, UCLA and Washington turned the tables on the Ducks baseball and softball clubs, respectively, setting up series-deciders Sunday at high noon in Eugene and Seattle.

In Friday’s game, the Ducks shut down the Bruins at the plate, giving up only 2 runs. To try to continue that defensive excellence, Oregon brought Freshman Right-Hander Leo Uelmen to the mound to start the game. Uelmen, a talented if youthful hurler, had started 3 previous games in pre-season and earned a 1 - 1 record.
