In Oregon’s win over Yale on Friday night, many impressive performances stood out for the Ducks. The Ducks scored eight of their 14 runs in the eighth inning, which was highlighted by redshirt freshman Naulivou Lauaki Jr.’s three-run blast. 

Oregon recorded 18 total hits in Friday night’s win over Yale, as their starting lineup was a focal point of their success. Junior second baseman Ryan Cooney, freshman right fielder Angel Laya, and freshman first baseman Brayden Jaksa, the top of Oregon’s batting order, all played pivotal roles in the Ducks' dominant victory over the Bulldogs.

Oregon redshirt sophomore right-handed pitcher Cal Scolari also put together another shutout for the Ducks, recording five strikeouts in four innings pitched. Junior left-handed pitcher Toby Twist added to the Ducks dominance with a strong showing on the mound, recording five additional strikeouts and only allowing one hit in three innings he pitched. With both pitchers matching zeroes, it was Twist that was ultimately given his fourth pitching win of the season.  

Entering Saturday’s winners' bracket matchup against Washington State, Oregon looks to build off its strong offensive performance to end the win over Yale by remaining efficient on the mound. Oregon has won five out of its last six games, with its only loss coming against the No. 1-ranked UCLA Bruins, in which the Ducks lost 3-2 in eleven innings.
