Oregon Ducks Baseball
Mitchell Tolman laying down the bunt

Unfortunately, the game the Ducks lost was the game when I was there. Ryan Riga tossed a complete game shutout with 10 Ks for the Buckeyes in the rain on Saturday evening when I took today’s photo. The Oregon Ducks were trying anything to get on base including many bunt attempts.

SOU Women’s Basketball

With Tuesday’s victory over Evergreen in Ashland, the Southern Oregon University Women’s Basketball Team earned the right to take on the #1 seed (Eastern) in the conference. The problem is that Eastern Oregon has a league best 12-1 home record. The good news is that SOU has a league best 10 wins on the road. It’s time for an upset in SOU’s favor.

This past Sunday saw another tournament championship for the Siskiyou Volleyball Club 16U (Alan) Team. That’s the third or fourth championship for the team for the short club season. Alan’s team went 12-1 in individual games on the day in the 23-team tournament, and they had to make it past an 18U team in the final match to secure the victory.

Tyler Baumgartner dives back into first ahead of the throw from Andrew Moore to Danny Hayes

The Oregon Ducks play their first game of the season in Eugene at 6 p.m. today. I’m getting the itch to head up the highway to catch a game or two. It’s been too long since I’ve last seen live baseball.

The first baseman in today’s photo, Danny Hayes of the OSU Beavers, was drafted by the Chicago White Sox. The pitcher, Andrew Moore, was only a freshman when I took this, and in addition to winning the Pac-12 Freshman Player of the Year Award, he was also named to the Baseball America All-America First Team.

SOU’s Men’s Basketball Team has moved up a notch before their last two road games of the year. Currently sitting in 2nd place in the conference, a sweep this weekend will result in two home games for the conference playoffs.

SOU Men’s Basketball
Eric Thompson

This was Eric’s fifth time winning the award. His 38 points on Friday were enough to do it as he had a below average (for him) showing on Saturday. The team did win both games though.
