Oregon Baseball Rise in Polls after Weekend Series

Oregon baseball (20-9, 8-4) went to Los Angeles and took two of three games against UCLA (21-7, 8-4) who was ranked 4, 5 and 7^th depending on the NCAA baseball poll that you go by. The Ducks took the Thursday opener 6-2 and won again 8-3 Friday night before falling on Saturday afternoon 8-6 to the Bruins at Jackie Robinson Stadium.

Today the successful weekend resulted in a rise in the national polls for Oregon. The biggest jump came in the Baseball America polls which the Ducks jumped from 22^nd to 16^th, they improved from 20^th to 18^th in the Perfect Game and remained 17^th in the USA Today/ESPN Coaches Polls. Complete polls for the three can be found here at Baseball America, Perfect Game and USA Today/ESPN.

Breaking down the conference by each poll here is how the Pac12 did, Baseball America (Arizona 4^th, Stanford 6^th, UCLA 17^th and Arizona State 21^st), Perfect Game (Arizona 6^th, Stanford 7^th, UCLA 10^th, Arizona State 22^nd, Oregon State 26^th, Southern Cal 36^th, California 39^th and Washington 40^th) and in the USA Today/ESPN Top 25 (Stanford 5^th, UCLA 11^th, Arizona 12^th, Oregon 17^th and Oregon State 23^rd).

The team returns home tonight at 6 p.m. to PK Park for a two-game series against San Francisco with game two tomorrow at Noon. This weekend the Ducks will be at Sunken Diamond to take on the Stanford Cardinal in Palo Alto, Calif.
