Regional: Oregon is out of the tournament

[oregontrack]

it will be VERY interesting to see what horton does next. he's never one to shy away from experimenting with the rotation in the playoffs; i think last year was the ONLY year we've made a regional where he didn't mix things up.

assuming mizzou state beats canisius, do you throw connor harber against canisius later today?? he pitched very well in a (more-or-less) do-or-die game @ oregon state two weeks ago. you can then throw david peterson, who has been fantastic his last five outings, against the loser of mizzou state/iowa tomorrow morning, and then josh graham against the winner of mizzou state/iowa tomorrow night. at that point, assuming we can win these games, it's one of those throw-everybody bullpen games on monday. start paddon, irvin can probably come back and pitch an inning or two, expect longer outings from stiles, nogosek, and cleavinger.

i think it's worth thinking about. it's always a gamble, but conventional wisdom is always split down the middle on these things. obviously you have to win today to play tomorrow, but i liked what i saw out of harber against the beavs.

you are right track harber gets the ball

[cordy02c]

Ducks get 4 in the 1st 2 run double by heineman and 2 run homer by chase

[thomas time]

way to go Shaun, 2 run homer!!! 4-0 ducks

[oregontrack]

oregon gives harber a 4-0 lead in the first. heineman with a 2 run double, chase hits a 2 run bomb.

After losing 14-1 earlier today, I'm not sure how much fight Canisius actually has in them now.

[cordy02c]

Harber is not sharp at all

[UOducksTK1]

6-0 going into the 4th.

[thomas time]

Heineman has been hot the last few weeks, two doubles so far today in only two at bats

[oregontrack]

7-0 oregon, top 5

i think harber's been outstanding today. his job is to pound the zone, he's going to give up some hits but he's in total control through four.

maybe mizzou state/iowa can play 15 innings later today and exhaust their bullpens.

[greenyellow]

Oregon struggling in the 5th now as they've given up 4 runs as Paddon has had to come in now.

[greenyellow]

Ducks up 9-4 as Oregon has gotten real aggressive in the 6th with their base running, as they've stolen 2 bases so far.

[greenyellow]

Up 10-4 now after Craig-St. Louis singles in another run.

[greenyellow]

Ducks up 11-4 after Heineman drives in another run with a groundout to SS.

[greenyellow]

Oregon is now up 12-4 in the 8th. The Ducks have 8 stolen bases today, one short of the program record.
