Watched this one, was a great game. Ducks got a 3 run homer in the 1st, zags got one in the 2nd. Oregon’s pitchers did well, as that score remained the same until the 8th when one of our relievers gave up a 3 run homer to Gonzaga, giving them the lead 4-3.
Ducks then threatened in the bottom half, stranding baserunners on the corners. Then in the bottom of the ninth, Kasevich got on with an infield single, followed by a sac bunt to move the runner before Sam Novitske got a walk. Freshman Jacob Walsh then came up big hitting a double down the left field line, scoring both runners and walking it off 5-4 for the Ducks!
Ducks now 2-0 vs Gonzaga this year (although these were midweek, not against weekend starters), if they end up getting that regional should be a great one. Unfortunately their was some bad news… I watched the celebration after and starter Brennan Milone (who is one of the better hitters on the team) appeared to go down with an injury. Unknown how serious at this point, it appeared to possible be a right leg injury of some kind. He walked off, but very gingerly. I will try and post an update once I found out more.
Big Arizona series starts Thursday. Arizona is currently 4th (2 games back of beavers), Ducks 5th. Arizona just beat OSU 2-1 in a series this pst weekend. Would be big if we could take it.
