On a sunny Friday afternoon in Eugene, both baseball and softball took to the field to begin new series, baseball against Ball State and softball against conference foe Arizona State.
First, at PK Park, the Ducks compiled five runs in the eighth inning to pull away from the Cardinals in a 13-7 victory. Oregon jumped out to an early lead as they scored three runs in the bottom of the second.
The Ducks remained in control until a four-run top of the fifth inning by Ball State put them in front, however, Oregon quickly regained the lead with three more runs of their own at the bottom of the inning.
