The Oregon Ducks’ baseball team keeps rolling this spring, with another move up in the USA TODAY Coaches Poll. They are now sitting at No. 13 in the nation after their most recent series win over the USC Trojans.
Already off to a hot start this spring, Oregon moved up from No. 14 in the polls thanks to a win over the Portland Pilots last week, followed by back-to-back wins over the Trojans on the weekend. The Ducks have now won 11 of their last 13 games, and sit at 22-8 overall.
Oregon used a thrilling 8th inning in their final game against the Trojans on Sunday, scoring four runs to come from behind and edge out USC. Senior Gabe Matthews and sophomore Sam Novitske combined for six hits and five RBI in the game, including driving in three runs in the decisive eighth inning, giving the Ducks a 7-5 victory.
Oregon lost the first game of the series on Friday but rallied for a 13-4 blowout on Saturday to sure things up before the rubber match.
Up next, Oregon will host a three-game series against the UCLA Bruins at PK Park in Eugene.
