Oregon Baseball Head Coach George Horton watched his team help him get to 300 wins on Saturday against Santa Clara 10-0.

Kyle Kassar had two runs and two hits and it hitting .375 from the leadoff spot as Oregon continues the tune-up for Pac-12 play. While 300 in an accomplishment for Head Coach George Horton, another milestone approaches in 2017.
