Oregon aiming for series win over USC; live updates and analysis
Follow along with live updates as the Oregon Ducks battle for a monumental series victory over the USC Trojans to close out the regular season.
It all comes down to this. The No. 16 Oregon Ducks (37-15, 19-10 Big Ten) are looking to secure a series victory over the No.
17 USC Trojans (42-13, 20-9 Big Ten) on Saturday at PK Park. The stakes are very clear. If the Ducks prevail, they can claim another series over a Quad 1 opponent and increase their odds to host a regional in Eugene.
If they can't win on Saturday, the Ducks might be packing their bags and heading into hostile territory. With a win, the Ducks would also earn the No. 3 seed in the Big Ten tournament next week in Omaha, Nebraska.
Oregon and USC would have the same conference record if the Ducks win on Saturday, and the Ducks would claim the tiebreaker. The series began on Thursday with a rock fight at PK Park. USC rode a dominant performance from ace pitcher Mason Edwards to a 2-1 victory in 11 innings.
