WATCH: Tanner Smith’s late 3-run bomb gives Ducks a win over Washington

Oregon baseball takes a 5-1 win over Washington in large part to Tanner Smith’s 3-run homer in the seventh.

Tanner Smith’s middle name may not be Clutch, but the Huskies would like a second look at that birth certificate.

Oregon baseball was down 1-0 through six innings with a classic pitcher’s duel between the Ducks Cullen Kafka and Washington’s Tyson Guerrero. But the Huskies replaced their starter with Gabe Smith and Oregon responded with a hit-by-pitch and a single followed by Tanner Smith’s three-run homer to right-center field to put his team on the board.

The Ducks went on to defeat the Huskies 5-1 to capture Game 2 of the three-game weekend series. Nico Tellache was credited with the win in relief and Colby Somers struck out the last five Huskies to earn his eighth save of the season. Oregon managed to win the series opener Friday night 8-0.

Oregon is now 29-11 overall and 13-7 in conference action with the win.
