Ducks' Relief Pitching Allows No. 1 UCLA to Rally and Win, 9-6

Last night's game was a jolt of confidence for Our Beloved Ducks, and I imagine the Bruins are going to come out jacked to win this series on their home field.

Whoever Oregon faces in opposing pitchers...they are all really good with low ERAs, and OBD will counter with Miles Gosztola, 3.98 ERA and I'd like to think that we could get another inning from Tanner Bradley and Cal Scolari in relief. Bottom line is that we have a ton of pitchers left, but it would certainly be a high-pressure situation ....

1-0 Bruins after one inning. Oregon's Miles Gosztola was doing well, but gave up some hits that turned into a run.

1-0 Bruins after two innings. Our Beloved Ducks got on base, but stalled.

Miles Gosztola shut them down 1-2-3 this inning!

With Superlative Help from Maddox Molony...

Come on Ducks, 2 wins would be great for our RPI!!!--and for our confidence.

1-1 after three innings. Ryan Cooney walked, while Burke-Lee Mabeus hit a liner to RF for a hit. Then Drew Smith hit another line-drive to RF that was bobbled and allowed Cooney to score!

But the Ducks stranded two on base...

Miles Gosztola gave up a hit, most important....NO RUNS!

UCLA has not even been in a deciding game to a series this season....this is their first Rubber-Match!

For the Ducks to beat the #1 team 2 times sends a message. Lets hope. Im listening to the live stream of U of O athletics.

6-1 Ducks after four innings. The bats are out!

Maddox Molony struck out, but the ball popped out of the catcher's mitt and went back to the wall, so Molony got on base. Gabe Miranda lays down a 3rd base bunt to get thrown out...and the ball popped out of the first-baseman's mitt! Naulivou Lauaki walks to load the bases with no outs.

Jack Brooks hits a liner to CF to score Molony, then Ryan Cooney hits a sac-fly to score a runner. Wowsa, as Brayden Jaksa blasts a bomb to score three with a dinger WAY OVER the CF wall.

Then Oregon's Miles Gosztola comes in to fan the Bruin batters, and has eight strikeouts today!

6-1 Ducks after five innings. Nothing on offense this inning as UCLA brought in a relief pitcher who threw well.

Oregon's Miles Gosztola is HOT, HOT, HOT as he has a career high nine strikeouts, and retired 13 of the last 14 batters faced. This is why he transferred to Eugene....for a chance like this against the No. 1 team, and it is great to see a pitcher doing his best when we need it.

He has 77 pitches...he could go another inning!

No way you can say the Bruins are ever conceding, but putting in a freshman reliever with a 4.72 era with the stable they’ve got?

6-3 Ducks after six innings. On offense...we stranded two on base!

The Bruin superstar, Roch Cholowski, hit a solo homer for his third in just two days. Can't hold them down forever! Luke Morgan came in and gave up two more runs...

My Duck-Buddies...the timing of the game is tough on me, as I am now cooking my big Sunday dinner that provides for three days, so I will be keeping it updated--but probably late at times.

6-4 Ducks after seven innings. Oregon has tried a bunch of relief pitchers to stem the Bruin comeback to no avail until we brought in the closer, Devin Bell, in the 7th?

Gotta score some more!

9-6 Bruins after eight innings. Oregon's relief pitchers ruined a great pitching performance by Miles Gosztola earlier...

UCLA wins 9-6...we had our chances and did not get it done. Relief pitching sucked, and no scoring the last five innings.

Bottom line is that a win would have rocked the college baseball world, but for Oregon's chances at a Regional...we got what we needed at minimum with a win this weekend, and now we must win the series next weekend beginning on Thursday against the despicable Trojans.

Where Oregon baseball sits in RPI rankings heading into USC series

The Oregon Ducks couldn't pull off the series victory on the road over top-ranked UCLA, but they did capture one win, and that was good enough to give the Ducks a boost in the RPI rankings.

As the Ducks made the trip down to Westwood, they sat at No. 27 in the RPI rankings. After a clutch three-run double by Jack Brooks in the late stages gave Oregon (36-14, 18-9 Big Ten) its lone win of the series on Saturday night, the Ducks jumped up eight spots to No. 19, per Warren Nolan.
