@AndrewG_23

For the 2015 season Andrew Moore was 7-2 with a 1.73 ERA during the regular season of his junior year. His last start was his best as he faced the minimum number of batters (27) in a complete game victory. The two batters who got hits off him were doubled up. At the college level a strike out to walk ratio of 2:1 is good. Andrew’s is over 5:1.

Unfortunately for Oregon State, only one Pac-12 team gets to host, and they finished second in the Pac-12 at 38-16-1 overall and 19-10-1 in Pac-12 play. OSU will travel to Dallas for games against two teams from Texas and VCU. Play begins Friday.

The Ducks finished sixth in the Pac-12 (37-23, 16-14), barely made the tournament, and will travel to Springfield, Missouri looking to upset three higher ranked teams.

Oregon Ducks Softball – Koral Costa

@koralcosta7 @QuackPacSB

The University of Oregon Ducks have made the Sweet Sixteen (AKA the Super Regionals) this year. They need to win two against North Carolina State to be one of the eight teams to advance to the Women’s College World Series in Oklahoma. Game time (5/22/15) is 6 p.m. PST in Eugene. If you aren’t in Eugene (or if you are but don’t have a ticket as the games have been sold out for a couple days now), you can watch the game on ESPNU.

These will be the last two (or three) games at Howe Field (after 80 years of use) as it will be torn down to make way for the new Jane Sanders Stadium, where the Ducks will play their 2016 season.

Junior Koral Costa is hitting .367 this year, with 15 home runs in just 139 at bats.
