Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

Oregon draws another walk off the new Bradley pitcher to load the bases with 2 outs and Cid up next.

Groundout ends the inning but Ducks lead 8-3 heading to the T4.

After opening with two strikeouts, MacGrandle has given up a double and consecutive walks to load the bases with 2 outs.

MacGrandle gets the batter looking and Oregon maintains their 8-3 lead heading to the B4.

Bradley strikes out with the bases loaded. Ducks coming up bottom of the 4th, lead, 8-3.

Bowden is on base to start the inning after a fielding error by the 3B.

Burks gets an bunt single which allows Bowden to advance to 3B on the throw.

Utecht singles up the middle to score Bowden. Mills to pinch run for Utecht and Bradley making another pitching change. 9-3 Oregon.

Galey draws a walk to load the bases with no outs.

Wagner singles to score Burks and then Mills scores on a fielding error to make it 11-3 Ducks. 2 on and still no outs.

Cook gets on base with a fielder's choice to put runners on the corner with 1 out.

12-3 Oregon after Cruse grounds into a fielder's choice that scores Galey. 2 outs now. Bunker then singles and then steals 2B to put both runners in scoring position.

13-3 Oregon after Cid drives in Cruse with a single but Bunker is thrown out at home trying to score from 2B, which ends the inning. Oregon just needs to get through the T5 by giving up 2 or fewer runs to end this game early.

Ducks win 13-3 in 5 innings. Now 4-0 to start the season.

Couldn't ask for a better start to the season, 4-0, just off a run rule win. The offense seems to be strong through the batting order, aggressive on the base paths, timely hits, often scored with 2 outs. Not sure, but they possibly haven't had an error in the field. Pitching won't be a s good as it would have been with Elish & Kleist, but it's got the Ducks to 4-0. After all this time as a pinch runner, its nice to se Burks with some playing time.
