In the last two games, the Oregon Ducks baseball team has exploded in the eighth inning for double-digit runs.
They didn’t wait so long today.
Oregon scored five in the first and six more in the second and that was more than enough as the Ducks downed St. John’s 16-3 for their third straight win.
Brennan Milone and Colby Shade each homered in the initial frame and then Milone continued his big day with a two-run single in the second.
With that kind of run support, Oregon starting pitcher Andrew Mosiello could settle in and pitch his game. The sophomore went five innings, allowing just one run on three hits and three strikeouts. The only blemish on Mosiello’s day was that he walked five Red Storm batters.
Now at 3-3, the Ducks’ three-game losing streak to begin the season seems like a while ago. Oregon has scored an incredible 60 runs in the last three contests.
