Ducks look for third straight series win: Oregon has won back-to-back weekend series for the first time since opening the season with three straight series wins. The Ducks won two of three from No. 9 California on May 8-10 before sweeping USC last weekend. The Ducks will look to make it three straight when they travel to Southern California this week to face UCLA starting on Thursday. The Ducks swept the Bruins in 2015, the last time the two teams played in Los Angeles, while also winning last year’s series two games to one in Eugene.
Seven of last nine games between Oregon and UCLA have been decided by one run: When Oregon and UCLA get together chances are it will be a close game.
