(This is a weekly series focused on previewing and discussing Oregon Baseball. Feel free to use this as a game thread for the upcoming series against the Oregon State Beavers)

The Oregon Ducks (19-15-0) are coming off a heart-wrenching series loss to their most hated rival, the Washington huskies (17-15-0). Now, the Ducks will travel a short distance from home to face another old foe, the No. 7 Oregon State Beavers (26-6-0).

Ducks Lose Series Against huskies

As previously stated in the most recent Diamond Ducks series, the three games in Seattle turned terrible for the Webfoots. The Ducks opened the series with a 1-2 loss. Then, after a rain delay forced the teams into a doubleheader on Sunday, the huskies lost to the good guys in a thrilling 13-inning, 6-4, game that setup the rubber match. Unfortunately, the final game proved much less competitive, as Washington’s pitchers kept Oregon scoreless and earned the win, 0-4.

UP NEXT: No. 7 Oregon State

Oregon State is 389-136 at home since 1999.

Cadyn Grenier has a batting average of .367, while the team as a whole is batting .306

Oregon State leads the all time series, 178-162.
