Live updates: Oregon baseball takes on Santa Barbara in NCAA Tournament regional matchup

Fresh off an extra innings win over San Diego in their Santa Barbara Regional opener of the NCAA Tournament, the Oregon baseball team will play the host Gauchos Saturday night at Caesar Uyesaka Stadium.

The Ducks (38-18, 19-11 Pac-12) have played Santa Barbara already this season, suffering a series loss, two games to one, back in March at PK Park. Santa Barbara’s coach, Andrew Checketts, is a former Oregon assistant and pitching coach from 2008-10 and graduated from West Linn High School in 1994.

“You look back and run through scouting reports on what they pitched to you in the past and what their pitchers did,” Oregon outfielder Bryce Boettcher said. “But it’s later in the season and it’s obviously a new series, so you definitely learn from it, but we’ve got to come out hot this weekend.”

Follow along for updates as the Ducks take on the Gauchos.
