How to Watch Oregon Ducks Baseball vs. Washington Huskies

The No. 3-seeded Oregon Ducks baseball squad (38-15 overall, 20-10 conference) had a two-day bye to get ready to face a familiar foe, the No. 11 Washington Huskies, who enter the match off a pair of upsets in the Big Ten Tournament.

Washington's first victory came on Tuesday's round one with an 8-6 clinch over No. 6 Ohio State, and then the Huskies came through with an impressive performance on the mound to take down the No. 7 Michigan Wolverines 7-1 on Wednesday for the qualifier game.

How the Big Ten Tournament Works

With the inaugural double-elimination part of the tournament put to bed, the Big Ten Tournament will be single-elimination from here on out, leaving eight teams fighting to get into the semi-finals on Saturday. The championship will be held on Sunday in Omaha.

Prior to this quarterfinal, teams seeded No. 5 - No. 12 fought in several rounds, with a losers bracket coming into play to potentially boost a previously eliminated team back into the bracket. No. 9 Illinois (14-16) and No. 10 Rutgers (13-17) were the two teams to fall after double-elimination.

Oregon's Resume Stepping Into This Match

Oregon did meet the Huskies during the regular season, going on the road to Seattle, Washington, to take down their longtime foes 2-1 in early May.

The final game in the series was the only match the Ducks dropped, with the Huskies picking up seven runs in the sixth inning that made up for the two scoreless succeeding innings. That Washington victory snapped a seven-game winning streak Oregon had against the Dawgs and handed the Huskies their first win over the Ducks as Big Ten teams.

Prior to their meeting with Washington, the Ducks garnered 11 postseason awards from the Big Ten. Most notably, senior third baseman Drew Smith and sophomore relief pitcher Tanner Bradley walked away with All-Big Ten First Team selections. Smith also made the All-Defensive Team for the conference.

Junior at-large Ryan Cooney and sophomore starting pitcher Will Sanford got second team honors.
