Oregon’s home postseason woes continue to haunt the Ducks.
The Ducks were eliminated from the Eugene Regional on Saturday following their 10-8 loss to Cal Poly at PK Park. The loss came despite the regional No. 1-seed Ducks hitting five home runs and taking an 8-5 lead into the bottom of the seventh inning.
The loss came less than a day after Oregon’s dramatic 6-5 defeat to Utah Valley, a game that saw an Oregon run in the bottom of the eighth inning wiped from the record following a controversial replay review.
The Ducks have now failed to advance out of their last five postseason series at PK Park.1 Oregon finished the year 42-16, won the Big Ten regular season title and set a program record with 115 home runs. But the Ducks’ arms hit a rut at the wrong time, with the Ducks allowing 23 runs in their final three games — including a 7-3 loss to Nebraska in the Big Ten Tournament.
“We got beat in three games in a row,” Oregon coach Mark Wasikowski said. “I don’t think it was a catastrophic collapse or anything like that. We got beat three games in a row after we won a conference championship, earned a one seed and played very well. Had a very good year. We came up short.”
Jeffery Heard had two home runs in the loss, Dominic Hellman homered and drove in three while Ryan Cooney homered, doubled and drove in a pair. Oregon starter Grayson Grinsell allowed six earned runs and struck out a pair in six innings.
