One win away from booking a spot in the Super Regionals for the first time since 2024, the Oregon Ducks faced their bitter in-state rival, the Oregon State Beavers, in the Eugene Regional Final at PK Park on Sunday night.

The Ducks, fresh off a dominating 4-0 shutout win over the Washington State Cougars on Saturday night, looked to continue their success against the Beavers and avoid a winner-take-all matchup on Monday. It was the first time these two heated rivals faced off in the NCAA Tournament, and the Ducks now own the ultimate bragging rights as they defeated the Beavers 4-1.

The Ducks used a three-run seventh inning that featured RBI walks by junior center fielder Jack Brooks and junior second baseman Ryan Cooney to pull ahead and beat the Beavers in the Eugene Regional Final.

Oregon fed off the PK Park crowd's energy as their pitching made a huge difference, stranding multiple Oregon State runners on base. Junior left-handed pitcher Miles Gosztola was phenomenal on the mound, recording eight strikeouts and allowing one earned run in six innings pitched. With the win over Oregon State, the Ducks advance to take on the Texas Longhorns in Austin for the Super Regionals.

Oregon is now two wins away from reaching the College World Series in Omaha for the first time since 1954, a goal that coach Mark Wasikowski's Ducks have had their sights on since the beginning of the season.

Oregon vs. Oregon State Preview

Oregon has been dominant through two games of the NCAA Tournament, the Eugene Regional Final, with impressive wins over the Yale Bulldogs and the Washington State Cougars. In those two games, the Ducks have outscored both opponents 18-2 and aim to ride that momentum into Sunday night’s Eugene Regional Final matchup. 

One Ducks player who continues to be a difference maker is freshman infielder Naulivou Lauaki Jr., who, in Oregon’s Eugene Regional games, has recorded two three-home run blasts. Lauaki Jr.’s three-run home run against Washington State came in the top of the ninth when the Ducks were up 1-0, which helped Oregon to work through a stress-free bottom of the ninth.

Much like it was during the Big Ten Tournament, Oregon’s pitching has been phenomenal through two games of the Eugene Regional. In the shutout win over Washington State, Oregon sophomore right-handed pitcher Will Sanford put on a show for the Ducks, recording 14 strikeouts and only allowing one hit in 6.1 innings pitched.

It was arguably one of Sanford’s best pitching performances this season for the Ducks as he earned his ninth win of the year. Sophomore right-handed pitcher Tanner Bradley and senior right-handed pitcher Devin Bell also matched zeroes in the win over the Cougars, combining for five strikeouts.  

Heading into the Eugene Regional Final against Oregon State, the Ducks hope to finish things off and avoid an elimination game on Monday by advancing to the Super Regionals. Oregon State dominated the Cougars earlier in the day, winning 10-1, and would like nothing more than to spoil their arch-rival's season on its home field with two straight wins over the Ducks.

In their one meeting this season on Mar. 3 at PK Park, Oregon State defeated Oregon 10-6. Will we see more fireworks on offense by both teams on Sunday night?

Given how dominant the Ducks have been on the mound and capitalizing in key moments offensively, Oregon is in a great position to wrap things up on Sunday. Coach Mark Wasikowski’s Oregon group has the tools to reach the program’s first College World Series since 1954.  

The last time the Ducks were on the cusp of making the CWS was two seasons ago, when they faced the Texas A&M Aggies in the Super Regionals. The Ducks ultimately came up short against a Texas A&M team that finished as the runner-up in the CWS that season, losing to the Tennessee Volunteers in the national championship.
