- 1-2 Punch: With SO RHP Kenyon Yovan joining JR RHP Matt Mercer in the rotation the last three weeks, Oregon has gone 5-1 in the first two games of the three series against Cal, Stanford and Washington State. Yovan is 3-0 with a 1.00 ERA with 21 Ks in 18 innings. Mercer is 2-1 with a 2.55 ERA with 15 strikeouts in 17.2 innings.
- Tough sledding on Sundays: While Yovan and Mercer have been dominant in the 6 starts, FR LHP Kolby Somers has been pretty good on Sundays without the support of his fellow rotation mates.
