PREVIEW

During the regular season, coach Mark Wasikowski’s Oregon squad went 2-1 against their arch rival, the Huskies, winning a road weekend series in Seattle at the beginning of May. In that series, Oregon outscored Washington 21-17 in a tightly contested series between the two rivals.
With Washington looking to keep their Big Ten Tournament run alive, could the Ducks and Huskies' quarterfinal matchup be another tightly contested matchup? To reach the quarterfinals, the Ducks defeated both the Ohio State Buckeyes 8-6 and the Michigan Wolverines 7-1, going 2-0 in the double elimination bracket to match up with the Ducks in the quarterfinals.
In the 7-1 win against Michigan on Wednesday night, which secured the Huskies a spot in the quarterfinals, Washington was led by the home runs of junior infielder Blake Wilson and sophomore outfielder Jackson Hotchkiss. Senior infielder Sam DeCarlo’s double in the third inning was also a critical moment in the Huskies 7-1 win over Michigan.
To upset the Ducks in the quarterfinals, the Huskies will look to rely on these three players, especially DeCarlo and Wilson. During the regular season, Wilson and DeCarlo were the top leaders for the Huskies. Hotchkiss is the Huskies' leading home run leader with 20 on the season.

In addition to his 20 home runs this season for the Huskies, Hotchkiss has also recorded 63 hits, 47 runs, and 47 RBI’s. DeCarlo is the other leader in the Huskies clubhouse as he enters the tournament matchup against the Ducks with 61 hits, 37 runs, 37 RBI’s, and seven home runs on the season.
The Huskies come in hot, and with Oregon's last game against the USC Trojans on May 16 in Eugene, in which they won a 6-5 14-inning thriller, the Ducks hope to cool down the Huskies and end their season.

During the regular season, the Huskies finished with a 25-31 overall record and went 12-18 in conference play. With the Ducks looking to improve their tournament resume and their chances of hosting an NCAA Tournament Regional at PK Park for the second consecutive year, the Huskies would love to spoil those hopes with an upset win.
When hosting the NCAA Tournament Regional in Eugene last season as a top seed, the Ducks went 0-2, losing to the Utah Valley Wolverines and the Cal Poly Mustangs. If the Ducks are to host a regional again at PK Park, they hope to have a better showing that leads to making a run at the College World Series in Omaha.
