Oregon Ducks baseball was picked seventh in the Pac-12 before this season started. They are proving this is why you play the games.
The Ducks are currently 24-9 overall and 10-5 in the Pac-12, good for a tie for first place with Oregon State. Those accomplishments are not going unnoticed.
In the latest D1baseball.com poll Monday morning, Oregon jumped up four spots and entered into the Top 10 as the No. 9 team in the nation. They remain the highest-ranked Pac-12 school with Arizona (12) and Stanford (18) being the other conference schools in the poll.
Looking ahead, the Ducks have the roughest part of their schedule out of the way. The only ranked opponents left to play are Stanford (May 21-23) and Gonzaga (May 3, 11-12), who is 26-13 and just moved into the poll this week at No. 21.
With the conference season half over, the Ducks have won four of the five series they’ve played, including a sweep over the Beavers. The only series that didn’t go Oregon’s way was the weekend trip to Arizona where the Wildcats outslugged Oregon, despite the Ducks winning the finale 18-13.
The season continues this week with five games. San Jose State comes to PK Park this Tuesday and Wednesday before the Ducks travel to Pullman to take on Washington State.
Oregon still has to play Washington, Utah, Stanford, and Cal in conference action.
