Ducks Lose Lead Late in Loss
04/29/19 | Baseball
SAN JOSE, Calif. – Oregon took a three-run lead in the fifth inning but San Jose State scored four unanswered runs capped off by a walk-off in the ninth to hand the Ducks a 4-3 loss Monday at Excite Ballpark.
How it Happened: San Jose State (18-26) tied the game in the ninth after a lead off hit by pitch came around to score following a balk, sacrifice bunt and RBI single off Oregon reliever Ryne Nelson. An error on a failed pickoff attempt moved a runner to third base before a squeeze bunt by Nick Knecht drove in the winning run.
Evan Williams put the Ducks on the board first with a two-out, two-run single to left in the first inning scoring Sam Novitske and Spencer Steer to make it 2-0.
Steer gave Oregon a 3-0 lead in the fifth inning driving in Novitske – who reached with his third hit of the day – with an RBI single. San Jose State answered with a run in the bottom half of the inning to cut the Ducks' lead to 3-1.
Oregon (23-19) starter Tyler Frazier gave up just the one run over 4.1 innings before Christian Ciuffetelli, Hunter Breault and Nico Tellache combined to hold the Spartans scoreless over the next 2.2 innings and maintain the two-run lead. SJSU would add a run off Nelson, who came in to pitch the eighth, to cut it to a one-run game.
Box Score Notes: Novitske turned in his third four-hit performance of the year, going 4-for-5 with two runs scored … He has gotten on base multiple times in 31 of the 42 games … Steer went 2-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI, putting him at 113 for his career and five behind Ryon Healy for second all-time at Oregon … He has reached base in 25 consecutive games.
On Deck: The Ducks are back on the road again this weekend for a three-game series at Arizona beginning Friday at 6 p.m.
