Oregon Baseball kicks off Big Ten Tournament as No. 1 seed
Oregon Baseball kicks off Big Ten Tournament as No. 1 seed Oregon baseball finally made it to Omaha, but the Ducks never imagined it would be like this. Oregon opens up the Big Ten Conference tournament which is being held in Omaha, with the 10-seeded Michigan State Spartans. It's just a coincidence that the conference tourney is in the same location as the College World Series. The Ducks have to be hoping this will be just the first trip to Omaha this year. The Ducks secured the No. 1 seed and the regular season title as they swept Iowa on the road. Oregon has won 10 straight games and is one of the hottest teams in the nation. The Ducks and Spartans are in Pool A with Nebraska. The winner of the pool will move on to the semifinals May 24. Oregon and Nebraska missed each other in the regular season, but the Ducks did play the Spartans in East Lansing just a couple of weeks ago, where Oregon managed to win two of three. In the first game, Spartan pitcher Joseph Dzierwa threw a complete game shutout to defeat the Ducks 2-0. But Oregon took the final two games by the scores of 13-5 and 3-1. Michigan State faces Nebraska on May 20, and it's a good bet Dzierwa pitches in that game and not against the Ducks two days later. The Ducks and Spartans are scheduled for a 4 pm PST first pitch May 22.
