Oregon Ducks baseball and softball take a break from conference play today, with baseball traveling north to battle the Pilots at Joe Etzel field and softball playing their first game of a seven-game homestand at Jane Sanders stadium.
The Ducks teams are going in different trajectories at this point in their respective season. Baseball has been battling and playing well, with a number of rallies to take games they were trailing in the past few weeks. Ducks softball has lost 8 of their last 9 games, but that shouldn’t be terribly surprising, given that they have the fifth most difficult schedule in the nation and lost their ace pitcher for the season before it even began.
