It's looking like high time to change the narrative about Oregon baseball.
UO coach George Horton may be something of an old baseball dog, but his team has learned some new tricks. Entering a three-game series with No. 2 Stanford at PK Park beginning Thursday (7 p.m., Pac-12), the Ducks are hitting the ball and scoring runs at a higher rate than in any of their previous 10 years under Horton.
Entering Thursday, the Ducks (22-13, 7-5 Pac-12) have won six of their last seven. In each of their most recent six games, the Ducks have scored at least seven runs — and they tripled that ouput in a single game this past Friday, winning at Washington State, 21-3.
