How Oregon baseball took four-game series vs. Rhode Island after opening series with loss
Who’s on the Oregon Ducks 2025 baseball schedule?
A roundup of dates and first pitch times for the Oregon Ducks 2025 baseball season.
Though the series got off to a tough start, the No. 11 Oregon baseball team won each of its last three games against Rhode Island at PK Park over the weekend to take its second straight series to begin the season.
With drizzly conditions most of the weekend, including a major rain delay in the Sunday series finale, both pitching staffs battled adverse conditions, leading to high scores throughout the four-game series.
On Friday, Oregon took a 12-11 defeat in the series opener, allowing 11 hits and falling into a 12-4 hole before a too-little, too-late comeback attempt over the game’s final three innings. Star pitcher Grayson Grinsell was tagged with four earned runs on six hits in his first loss on the season in 5 1/3 innings of work. The Ducks’ bullpen didn’t fare much better, with Santiago Garcia failing to register an out and giving up two runs while Ryan Featherston allowed another five runs in two-thirds of an inning.
Jacob Walsh was a bright spot offensively, going 3 for 6 with two RBIs while Dominic Hellman went 2 for 3 with two runs scored and two walks drawn.
The series turned on Saturday, when the Ducks took both games of a doubleheader, the first a 1-0 win in 11 innings and the second a 19-12 win.
In the opener Saturday, Collin Clarke had one of the better starts of his career, pitching seven innings and allowing just four hits with five strikeouts. Cole Stokes and Gabe Howard picked up right where he left off out the bullpen and allowed just one hit combined over the next four innings. The Ducks had just four hits as a team, with Ryan Cooney scoring on a Rhode Island error.
The second game Saturday was completely different, as the Ducks scored seemingly at will, including eight runs in the fourth inning. Mason Neville went 2 for 4 with four runs, four RBIs and two home runs to lead the way at the plate.
In the series finale Sunday the game was halted for nearly three hours due to rain, but finished 15-2 in the Ducks’ favor in seven innings. Oregon hit two grand slams in the game, from freshman Burke-Lee Mabeus and Anson Aroz. Freshman Michael Meckna starred on the mound after the delay, pitching 3 2/3 scoreless innings while allowing just two hits with two punchouts.
What’s next for Oregon baseball?
The Ducks (6-2) play their third straight series to open the season at home against Columbia starting at 3:05 p.m. Friday at PK Park. The Lions (1-2) most recently lost a series to Kennesaw State on the road.

White House says partial SNAP benefits will go forward
The White House is cooperating with a court order and says partial SNAP benefits will go forward despite the government shutdown.
(This story has been updated to include new information.)
Oregon’s nine federally recognized tribes will receive a combined $1 million to combat food instability from delays to Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program disbursements, Gov. Tina Kotek said Nov. 6.
The funding will come from the Oregon Department of Human Service’s Office of Resilience and Emergency Management.
Grant agreements were to be shared with the tribes by Nov. 7.
It was not immediately clear how much of the $1 million each tribe would receive.
“The refusal of the Trump Administration to maintain SNAP benefits during the federal shutdown is creating instability for families and communities that rely on this critical help to buy food,” Kotek said in a statement. “We are moving quickly to ensure that Tribal governments and local partners have the resources they need to meet immediate food security needs.”
Kotek put $5 million toward Oregon’s food banks on Oct. 29 from prior years’ excess Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) funds.
The distributions come as more than 750,000 Oregonians, about 90,000 of whom are residents of Marion and Polk counties, did not receive SNAP benefits beginning Nov. 1.
Food stamps were not distributed due to the federal government shutdown, now the longest in history.
The Trump administration must fund November SNAP benefits by Nov. 7, a judge ordered on Nov. 6. Recipients had been expected to get some of the funds for November this month, potentially up to 65%, after earlier court orders called for benefits be disbursed. When and how those funds would be sent out was unclear.

EUGENE — Jackson Shelstad may be able to begin non-contact practice in the coming days.
The Oregon point guard, who broke his hand last month, was officially listed as questionable but did not play in Tuesday’s season opener against Hawaii.
Shelstad, who was not wearing a split while on the bench, visited with doctors earlier Tuesday and got positive feedback.
“Everything looks good,” Oregon coach Dana Altman said. “I think they’re going to talk with his parents and talk with the doctors again. Maybe start doing some non-contact stuff.
“We obviously need him. He runs our stuff. He knows our stuff. I think he can get us organized and we can start running some stuff.”
Oregon committed 21 turnovers, its most since 2013, in the 60-59 win over Hawaii. Wei Lin committed four of those turnovers while starting at point guard in place of Shelstad, who averaged 13.7 points and 2.7 assists in 35 starts last season.
Altman said the Ducks will have to rely on walk-on Drew Carter, who was the only UO player not to commit a turnover against Hawaii, while Shelstad is out.
