College Baseball:

Number 5 Oregon won yesterday and swept out the Washington Huskies to close the regular season at PK Park. The Ducks are well positioned to win the Big 10…they’ll need to sweep number one Iowa next weekend, and have some help with UCLA losing too.

Hear from Oregon coaches and players on the Ducks Insider daily podcast at KBND dot com.

Number 10 Oregon State tied Iowa 6 - 6 in 10 innings yesterday after the bullpen couldn’t hold a late lead and the Hawkeyes evened the game at 5 after nine innings. Both teams scored a run in the extra frame but that’s all they could play because the Beavers had to make their airplane. Tomorrow, it’s a Tuesday tilt with Portland at Goss Stadium.
