With all of the runs that are being scored by the Oregon Ducks baseball team, it would be easy to overlook a great start from the pitching staff.
Isaac Ayon turned in the Ducks’ first quality start of the season and the bats kept rolling in a 13-1 rout of St. John’s. It’s Oregon’s fourth straight win as they have a winning record for the first time in 2022. It was also the third straight over the Red Storm as the Ducks will now go for the four-game series sweep tomorrow afternoon.
On the mound, Ayon went six innings, giving up just one run, and struck out a career-high seven batters for his first win of the year. At the plate, shortstop Josh Kasevich drove in four and Colby Shade drove in two with a single and double. Oregon had 14 hits on a rainy day at PK Park.
The Ducks and Red Storm go at it one more time Monday afternoon.
