The Oregon Ducks baseball team started their season with a three series road sweep over San Deigo State and returned home on Thursday to begin a four game series with Illinois State. The Redbirds come in at 1-2 having also started the season on the road at Belmont. Illinois State did break open one game 23-5 and have travelled across the country to take on the 12th ranked Oregon Ducks.
Oregon would see the bases first and not just see them, but load them as the first three Ducks ended up on base to start the game off Illinois State Starter Jeffrey Barton.
