The Oregon Ducks baseball team is set to face Indiana in Game 2 of a Big Ten weekend series at PK Park where the Ducks will be looking to secure the series win over the Hoosiers.
In Game 1 of the series on Friday, the Ducks had to rally from a 2-0 deficit in order to capture the 3-2 win. The Hoosiers were able to take that early lead and were counting on their bullpen to hold that lead. But Oregon was able to chip away at that lead with single runs in the fifth, sixth and seventh innings.
As it turns out, it was the Oregon bullpen that did its job. Tanner Bradley was credited with the hold, and Devin Bell pitched a scoreless ninth inning for the save. Although starter Will Sanford didn’t qualify for the win, he pitched well enough to get it. He struck out 10 Hoosiers and gave up just two runs.
Now the Ducks will turn to starter Collin Clarke (2-1, 2.55) in order to capture their second straight conference series win. Indiana will pitch left-hander Tony Neubeck (1-1, 1.96 ERA). Oregon has had some trouble facing lefties this season, and it can hope that trend ends on Saturday afternoon.
