Ducks fall at UCLA
05/19/18 | Baseball
Los Angeles – UCLA scored multiple runs in four different innings en route to a 15-1 Pac-12 Conference win at Jackie Robinson Stadium on Saturday.
How it happened: UCLA (34-17, 17-9 Pac-12) got out to an early lead with a run in the first and two more in the second off Oregon starter Matt Mercer. Jeremy Ydens led off the bottom of the first with a solo home run over the left field wall to put the Bruins on the board. In the second, Daniel Amaral doubled to score Jack Stronach and then scored on a Garett Mitchell infield hit.
Ydens made it 6-0 in the bottom of the fourth when he hit a three-run homer over the right-field wall. The two-run home run came after a hit and walk but the eight and nine hitters in the batting order.
UCLA built the lead to 9-0 in the bottom of the sixth before the Ducks (25-26, 11-15 Pac-12) finally got on the board. Jonny DeLuca led off the seventh inning with a home run that landed on the roof of the hitting facility over the right-field wall.
Duck notes: DeLuca's home run was his sixth of the season, tying Jakob Goldfarb for the team lead … Spencer Steer had his 12th multi-hit game of the season and the 27th of his career … Mercer made his 34th career start to tie Jake Reed (2012-14) for the sixth most all-time at Oregon … UCLA claimed the series win with the victory.
On deck: Game three of the series is Sunday at 12 p.m. Pac-12 Network will televise the game.
