Oregon Baseball Evens The Series, Downs The Huskies 13-6
On the warmest day thus far of 2024, Oregon baseball was able to bounce back from Friday’s pitching meltdown and hold on to their lead in besting the Washington Huskies, 13-6.
Grayson Grinsell started for the Ducks, and Calvin Kirchoff took the hill for the Huskies. To say the least, neither pitched particularly well, with bats on both sides hitting early and often.
The Ducks wasted no time in scoring right from the outset of the game, as leadoff hitter Drew Smith started the game with a single, which was followed by Mason Neville hitting a two-run homer off the second pitch thrown at him.
Washington struck back in the bottom of the inning, when Grinsell gave up a home run to the leadoff batter for the Huskies.
Over the next couple of innings, both sides handed out runs like Halloween candy. In the top of the fourth inning, it appeared that Oregon was beginning to distance the Huskies 7-4, but any semblance of control from Grinsell failed him, and Brock Moore took the mound with one out and runners on second and third.
The Huskies immediately hit a two-run double to pull within one run, 7-6, and the game was starting to feel like a repeat of Friday’s debacle.
Much to his credit, Moore shook off two runs that were not earned and pitched his longest outing of this season, completely silencing the Washington bats.
With both sides going scoreless in the fifth inning, the Ducks scored two more in the sixth to pushed their lead to 9-6.
In the midst of Oregon’s scoring push, Moore pitched 1-2-3 innings in the 6th, 7th, and 8th.
In the seventh inning, the succession of a pair of Washington relief pitchers gave up a single to Jeffrey Heard, and the walked Justin Cassella and Maddox Maloney to load the bases. Chase Meggers cleared the bases with a double that coincidentally doubled Oregon’s lead over the Huskies.
Carter Garate added an insurance run in the ninth inning, and his overly aggressive running led to the end of the inning for the Ducks.
Brock Moore finally began to fatigue after throwing 80 pitches, and Logan Mercado notched the final out of the game, with an ending score of 13-6.
It was not Grayson Grinsell’s finest day, and that happens in college ball. Grinsell ended up pitching 4.1 innings with six runs on four hits, along with 4 walks and 5 Ks.
Brock Moore brought game in relief that preserved Oregon’s lead from the fifth inning on. Moore pitched five innings, allowing three hits with no runs, and only one walk to go with 8 Ks.
The Duck bats hit early and often, led by Chase Meggers going 2-4 with 5 RBIs. Here is your final line score:
Moore (5.0 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 8 K)@meggers_chase (2-for-4, HR, 2B, 5 RBI)

Oregon Ducks coach Dan Lanning has the program built up as a consistent contender, but Oregon’s previous two eliminations from the College Football Playoff, a 20-point loss to Ohio State followed by a 24-point loss to Indiana, adds some pressure onto Lanning’s plate heading into 2026.
While the Ducks’ only three losses in the past two seasons have come at the hands of the eventual national championship winner, Lanning and Oregon are perceived by some as a coach and team who can’t win when it matters the most.
Oregon fans may disagree, pointing to games in 2024 like the Ducks’ regular season win over Ohio State and the Big Ten Championship Game over Penn State. In 2025, Oregon beat Penn State and USC in the regular season before shutting out Texas Tech in the CFP.
However, the Ducks appearing non-competitive in their last games of the last two seasons only adds to the pressure for Oregon to perform in the postseason.
Dan Lanning on Oregon’s Progress in Spring Practice
After Oregon’s spring game on April 25, Lanning spoke about the positives and the negatives with respect to this current roster’s growth.
“Well, I think the intelligence of this group is really high. In the acumen and ability to execute offense and defensive plays is really up there. So they know and understand what we’re trying to do. We’ve got a lot of stuff packaged well that these guys can operate really well.”
“So, I’d say that part’s ahead. We become a much more connected team this spring that’s got to continue as we go through the remainder of this offseason. We got to get stronger. We got to continue to become the physical team that we’ve been here in the past, so there’s a lot of areas still for growth, but I think we’re a really smart team right now and understand what we want to accomplish.”
As mentioned by Lanning, there is still work to be done before the fall starts and even during the season as the Ducks aim to earn a third consecutive CFP berth.
Lanning always seems quick to call pressure a privelege, and the Ducks are quite privileged heading into 2026.
With a more experienced roster, highlighted by quarterback Dante Moore, center Iapani “Poncho” Laloulu, and Oregon’s four starters on the defensive line all deciding to forgo the 2026 NFL Draft and return to school, the expectations have only risen for the Ducks.
The Ducks may have one of the more talented rosters in the country, but the program is also replacing offensive coordinator Will Stein and defensive coordinator Tosh Lupoi, whom Lanning replaced with internal promotions for Drew Mehringer (offensive coordinator) and Chris Hampton (defensive coordinator).
Oregon enters the season with the third-best odds of winning the Big Ten (+290) and the fourth-best odds of winning the national championship (+800), per oddsmakers at FanDuel Sportsbook.
