RJ Gordon, Mason Neville send No. 23 Oregon baseball past Washington State
In what was likely his final game at PK Park, Oregon’s RJ Gordon tossed a quality start and got enough run support to cruise to a series-opening win.
Gordon struck out six and allowed two runs on five hits, two walks and a hit batter over 6.0 innings and Mason Neville hit a pair of home runs with five RBIs in a 9-2 win for the No. 23 Ducks over Washington State Thursday night.
“I thought they played a complete game,” Oregon coach Mark Wasikowski said. “Got a good start from RJ Gordon, got some really clutch swings from Mason Neville. Some good at bats lead to Mason having the traffic on the bases to where those home runs counted for more than one run. Then late in the ballgame to have Jacob Walsh extend the lead with that single, the guy had to go for it. You can’t fault their player. The guy made a great effort on the play, and it got away from him. Didn’t make that play and we were able to get three on that big swing from Jacob.”
