Matt Krook of the Oregon Ducks

I only made it to one Ducks’ baseball game this year (hopefully there will be more next year when my son is going there), and at that one game I had the good fortune of seeing Matt Krook pitch. He didn’t pitch much this year as he had elbow surgery that wiped out much of his season, but he was really good before that happened. He had a 2-1 record with a 1.79 ERA and 60 strikeouts in just 45.1 innings which was enough to earn him the honor.

Oregon State University – Kavin Keyes

@Kavin_Keyes3 Both of the Ducks’ teams had their seasons end yesterday. The softball team will likely end up ranked #3. The University of Oregon baseball team was eliminated at Regionals in a tough, come-from-behind victory for the other team. They will likely end up ranked about #20.

The #1 ranked Beavers of OSU need a win tonight (6/2/14) at home to advance to the Super Regionals against Oklahoma State. Game time is 8 p.m. PST, and you can watch the game on ESPNU.

Oregon Ducks Softball – Cheridan Hawkins

@CheridanH11 The Ducks beat the NCAA Division I player of the year (Lacey Waldrop of Florida State) this afternoon. The final score was 3-0 thanks to the shutout thrown by Cheridan Hawkins. Hawkins still has two more seasons of eligibility after this season so one of those player of the year honors may be going to her in 2015 and/or 2016.

Oregon plays again Friday (5/30/14) against #5 seed Flordia. Game time is 4 p.m. PST on ESPN2.
