It is hard to believe that there are not enough cable channels to televise Oregon's regional final tonight, but perhaps the audience is not big enough? Bottom line is that this morning it appears that both the elimination game this afternoon at 1:00 PM of Oregon State vs Washington State will be on ESPN+, as will the Ducks' final tonight at 6:00 PM PST.

I will be watching and reporting on it in this gameday thread as before, and I've been asked who I want to face in the final?

Both teams will be on their fourth starting pitcher when they face the Ducks, but Beavis has a much deeper pitching staff than does Butthead, so I think I'd rather take on Washington State in the final. But if Oregon faces Oregon State--a win would be that much sweeter...

Oregon baseball has had a great weekend so far. The Ducks opened up the Eugene regional on Friday with a blistering 14-2 win over Yale inside a rowdy PK park. With the Ducks entering the winners brack

Beavis

Mar. 3 – 10-6 at Oregon

Apr. 22 – 3-7 vs Oregon in Corvallis

May. 29 – 2-3 vs WSU in Eugene

May. 31 – 10-1 vs WSU in Eugene, game ended 4:22 pm, 9 full innings

May. 31 – 6:00 pm at Oregon

 

Beavers are 15-2 in true away games (WSU, UPortland losses), and 9-5 at sites where neither team is the home venue.

0-0 after the first inning. Oregon starter Miles Gosztola gave up two walks, but got it done and stranded them both.

1-0 OSU after two innings. Gotta get the bats going!

Great play at Home...

1-1 after three innings. Oregon's Jack Brooks slipped a hit past the infield, and Angel Laya hit a liner to get on base as well. Then Drew Smith gets a hit to RF to score Brooks!

The Duck Crowd at PK Park went crazy as Miles Gosztola struck out three straight Beavers!

Ducks seem to be swinging at those low and outside pitches.

1-1 after four innings. Oregon's Miles Gosztola gave up a hit--but nothing else.

1-1 after five innings. This has become quite a pitchers' duel...

1-1 after six innings, as Oregon's Miles Gosztola has a familiar pattern of allowing one base runner by a hit or walk...and then disposes of the rest of the side.

He has been stellar, and gone a full six innings. He is at 97 pitches...is there some gas left for more?

4-1 Ducks after seven innings. The Oregon scoring got going, but Oregon State contributed to it...

Burke-Lee Mabeus waits out a walk, and Maddox Molony hit a bouncer up the middle to get on base. Jax Gimenez walks, and now the bases are loaded!

Jack Brooks lets the orange reliever self-destruct, and walks...bringing in a run. Ryan Cooney does the same thing! Angel Laya hits a difficult bouncer in the infield that creates a throwing error to get him on base and score another run! (The bad news is that the OSU reliever got his mojo back and stranded the bases loaded remaining.)

Luke Morgan came in for relief, and continued the pattern of giving up a hit, and then putting down the side. But Morgan got three strikeouts...all looking!

We just got to hang on.

4-1 Ducks after eight innings. Tanner Bradley comes in and gives up a walk, and a hit...but keeps them scoreless for the inning!

And....It. Is. Over. Go Ducks!!! On to Texas!!

Ducks win 4-1! Closer Devin Bell came in and followed the pattern of giving up a hit, and then putting away the side.

On to Austin Texas to play the Longhorns in the Super-Regional next weekend!

The pitching really came through.

Amen...all through the Regional. So many young-gun pitchers in Eugene have progressed through the season to become important now.

And....with all the abuse I enjoy heaping upon the Beavers--they were clearly a very good team. They just keep rolling out pitchers with great ERAs, and their hurling depth is amazing.

With that--be proud, Oregon fans. We BEAT a good team, and the Ducks are rounding into a pretty darn good team too!

"It makes you want to dance...."

With this result...Oregon wins the Civil War series this year, two games to one, and has won eight of the last nine Civil War Baseball Games!

Loved that home field advantage!!

Thanks for the great coverage.

I feel sorry (😁) for the New World Pac- 8 plus Gonzo.

PK packed by OBD fans, perfect.

I always wondered if Sloopy hung on?

And, several innings were on ESPN2, in addition to ESPN+. Nice to be able to see it without paying for streaming.

Ducks Punch Super Regional Ticket With Rivalry Win

 

EUGENE, Ore. — Behind pristine pitching, patient hitting and a fan base that had their back from start to finish, the Oregon Ducks are moving on to the NCAA Super Regionals.

 

The No. 11 UO baseball team gave a third straight sellout crowd at PK Park everything it deserved on Sunday night, punching its ticket to the next round of the postseason with a 4-1 win over in-state rival Oregon State.

 

“We were really blessed tonight,” head coach Mark Wasikowski said. “The blessings are countless. To be around these guys, this team is a very special team. The team that we played tonight is an outstanding program, as we all know, and we have respect for that, and we really embraced the opportunity to be able to take the hardest path."

 

“I think they've embraced that to go up against a very, very historically strong program and do it here at PK Park, where the fans were just unbelievable.”

 

More than 25,000 total fans flocked to PK Park across six games of the NCAA Regional, which featured three Pacific Northwest teams and former conference rivals in Oregon, Oregon State and Washington State. The weekend came to a crescendo on Sunday night, after OSU defeated the Cougars to set up the first-ever Ducks vs. Beavers postseason matchup in the regional final, and the Ducks emerged victorious.

“It's a fantastic feeling to move on, regardless of who we play,” starting pitcher Miles Gosztola said. “I think Waz has done a fantastic job of coaching our mentality, not necessarily to play against the opponent, but to play against the game itself. It's a great feeling to beat the team down the road, along with Washington State, two phenomenal clubs. They had great years, and honestly, it's a great feeling to move on and represent Oregon.”

 

A decisive three-run seventh inning to break a 1-1 tie secured Oregon’s third Super Regional bid in the last four years, and fourth in program history. The Ducks will move on to face No. 6 seed Texas in the NCAA Austin Super Regional next weekend, with dates and times for the three-game series still to be determined.

 

“Being a part of this place is really special,” senior Drew Smith said. “It's deeper than just family … This has been the greatest four years of my life, and I don't plan on it ending anytime soon.”

 

That seventh inning was a perfect demonstration of the impact of the home crowd, after the Ducks loaded the bases with one out and prompted OSU to turn to star closer Albert Roblez. PK Park roared with every pitch, and Roblez couldn’t find the zone as the Ducks drew back-to-back walks to take the lead before adding a third run on an RBI fielder’s choice.

 

That gave Oregon’s pitching staff all the support it needed, coupled with an RBI single by Smith in the third inning that promptly tied the game after OSU took the lead in the bottom of the second. The pitching quartet of Gosztola, Luke Morgan, Tanner Bradley and Devin Bell held the Beavers to just one run with 14 strikeouts, punctuating a tremendous weekend on the mound for the UO staff.

A year after going 0-2 at home in the NCAA Regional, the Ducks left little doubt of their talent and potential with a dominant 3-0 weekend. A trip to Austin awaits, needing two wins to earn the program’s first-ever trip to the College World Series. Sunday’s game was the last of 2026 in PK Park, but expect the Oregon faithful to follow the Ducks for as long as this postseason run continues.

 

“We just want to thank the fans and all the supporters for everything that they've done for our program,” Wasikowski said. “We truly are grateful.”

 

How it Happened: The assigned home team in its rival’s ballpark, Oregon State struck first in the bottom of the second against Gosztola (3-3). The junior lefty got two quick outs after a leadoff single, but a walk and a base hit gave the Beavers a 1-0 lead.

 

The Ducks picked their starter up in the top of the third, tying the game at one run apiece after Jack Brooks singled and came in to score on an RBI base knock to the opposite field by Drew Smith.

 

“I was basically just doing my job, get on base, and I got teammates around me like Drew Smith, who hit me home,” Brooks said. “But I'm just doing my job to get on base. It's a thrill to be out there with those guys, and to be able to be with the team.”

 

Gosztola worked around baserunners in each of the next three frames, keeping the Beavers to just one run on five hits with eight strikeouts and three walks across 6.0 strong innings.

 

“The crowd tonight was fantastic,” Gosztola said. “I felt them on every single pitch. I almost felt like they carried me through some of that ball game when fatigue started to set in.”

OUT at HOME!

Oregon was able to break through in the seventh, and the PK Park crowd played as big a role as the Ducks’ patience at the plate. Burke-Lee Mabeus worked a leadoff walk and, after a tremendous diving play in left field by Josh Proctor robbed Naulivou Lauaki Jr. of extra bases and a go-ahead RBI, the Ducks loaded the bases with one out on a Maddox Molony single and a Jax Gimenez walk.

 

The Beavers went to one of college baseball’s best closers in Roblez. With the home fans roaring, Roblez walked Brooks on five pitches to bring in the go-ahead run. The crowd ramped up even more, and Roblez walked Ryan Cooney on a 3-2 pitch to make it 3-1. Angel Laya then beat out a potential double play for an RBI fielder’s choice, giving Oregon a three-run lead.

 

“Going into that at bat, I relied on our coaches more than anything,” Brooks said of his go-ahead walk. “They kind of drew up our game plan for what we're going to do for that at bat, and the guys before me, they all did their job. They got on base, so at that point, it was just time for me to kind of go out there and just let my game play.”

 

Morgan turned in a dominant bottom of the seventh inning, striking out the side while stranding a two-out double. Bradley also worked around a double in the eighth to preserve the Ducks’ lead, and Bell set the Beavers down in order in the ninth to send Oregon to the NCAA Super Regional for the third time under Wasikowski.

That was a MISS!

Box Score Notes: Gosztola completed 6.0 or more innings for the third time this season and struck out eight or more batters for the third time … Gosztola’s eight strikeouts moved him past 200 for his career (204) … Bradley threw 2.2 scoreless innings of relief with five strikeouts and just one hit allowed in two appearances on the weekend … Bell earned his 12th save of the season, sixth-most in UO history, after twirling his second scoreless inning of the weekend … Molony went 2-for-4 for his 11th multi-hit game of the season.

 

All-Tournament Team: Six Ducks were named to the NCAA Eugene Regional All-Tournament Team … Starting pitcher Will Sanford was named the tournament’s MVP after his 14-strikeout performance on Saturday vs. Washington State, and he was joined on the team by Brayden Jaksa, Cooney, Smith, Laya and Lauaki.

 

On Deck: Oregon and Texas will open the NCAA Austin Super Regional on either Friday or Saturday. Dates, times and TV information will be announced after the completion of the other NCAA Regionals around the country.
