Oregon-Oregon State baseball game postponed
The Ducks and Beavers will have to wait to renew their rivalry on the diamond with inclement weather in the forecast on Tuesday in Hillsboro.
When you're playing baseball in the Pacific Northwest, sometimes Mother Nature will get the final say. The Oregon Ducks and Oregon State Beavers have decided to postpone their scheduled Tuesday night matchup in Hillsboro due to inclement weather in the forecast. Both programs are working to find a date to reschedule the rivalry, according to Oregon State athletic communications.
The Ducks were hoping to even the season series after dropping a game earlier this season in Eugene to the Beavers. Oregon State emerged victorious on March 3 at PK Park after getting to the Ducks' bullpen and holding on for a 10-6 win. The Beavers have since jumped to No.
6 in the national rankings, while the Ducks have fluctuated after a recent slump and sit at No. 19. However, the Ducks are fresh off a ranked-series win over Nebraska and seem to have figured out some of their woes at the plate.
Rain is in the forecast all day Tuesday and Wednesday in Hillsboro, meaning it's unlikely the game will be played this week, barring a creative solution and agreement from both programs. The Ducks and Beavers were set to square off for the second time this season at the new Hillsboro Hops Ballpark in a game being billed as the "Northwest Elite Baseball Classic. " The Ducks are headed east to face Illinois in a weekend series, so moving the game to Wednesday or Thursday, if weather permits, could complicate their travel schedule.
