Oregon’s untimely exit from the Pac-12 tournament, losing to Utah and USC in quick succession, meant they were a low seed in the regional round of the NCAA Division 1 playoffs. The Ducks will head to Santa Barbara as the #3 seed to re-acquaint themselves with a familiar foe.
Despite their disappointing tournament performance, Oregon finished third in the Pac-12 with a record of 37-18 (19-11). The Ducks are a team that rely on their power hitting to win games. The line up features four batters with double digit home runs on the season: Jacob Walsh (17), Mason Neville (16), Bryce Boettcher (11), and Maddox Moloney (10).
