Oregon staged a comeback from a five-run deficit, surging to a decisive 16-9 victory over UC Santa Barbara in the series finale at PK Park on Sunday. This is the Ducks first win over UCSB in six tries, going back to last season’s 3-0 sweep by the Gauchos in Eugene.
UCSB initially built their advantage with a grand slam by Corey Nunez in the early stages of the game, jumping out to a 4-0 lead. An unearned run in the third inning further widened the gap.
Trailing early, the Ducks began their resurgence by putting three runs on the board in the fourth inning with Mason Neville’s three-run homer.
