Oregon left eleven runners stranded, eight  in scoring position through the first seven frames of the game. Oregon Pitching again took center stage and was solid as three pitchers combined to give up just two hits in the game. It is, of course, a long season, but this is a great start for the twentieth ranked Oregon Ducks. Add to that a player on Offense who can’t seem to find himself out and after two games the season looks a little brighter.

Mitchell Tolman is playing in the middle of the Oregon lineup and through two games is five for six with two walks and is hitting .667 on the year. He was also hit by a pitch. Freshman Pitcher David Peterson also had a solid first outing on Saturday.

Peterson allowed two runs in six innings of work. He struck out eight and walked two. The third game of the series will see Trent Paddon on the mound for the Oregon Ducks. The game is set for 3:05pm Pacific Time Sunday.
