EUGENE – Oregon hit solo home runs in each of the first three innings while six Oregon pitchers combined on a three-hitter in a 5-1 win over San Diego on Sunday at PK Park.

The win clinched a series sweep for the Ducks (8-3), who outscored the Toreros (5-5-1) 25-6 in the four-game series.

How It Happened: For just the third time this season, Oregon put a run on the board in the first inning. Rikuu Nishida hit his first career homer to give the Ducks a 1-0 lead.

San Diego tied it in the second on a sacrifice fly, but the Ducks answered right back when Colby Shade hit Oregon's second one-out solo homer in as many innings.
