Ducks Winning Streak Ends at B1G Tournament
05/24/25 | Baseball
OMAHA, Neb. — No. 4 Oregon had its 11-game winning streak snapped in the final game of pool play at the Big Ten Tournament losing to Nebraska 7-3 on Saturday morning.
Â
Oregon fell behind early and struggled to mount much offense against Nebraska's pitching. The Ducks (42-14) also struggled defensively committing a season-high four errors, three coming in the first five innings with two leading to runs.
             Â
How It Happened: Nebraska scored two runs in the first and added an unearned run in the second inning to take a 3-0 lead before Oregon got on the board in the bottom of the second inning.
Â
Anson Aroz, who had three hits on Thursday, doubled with one out and came around to score on a Maddox Molony RBI single up the middle.
Â
The Cornhuskers added a run in the fourth after the runner reached when Drew Smith slipped on a routine fly ball to right field. They added two more in the fifth, one earned and one unearned, to chase Grayson Grinsell and take a 6-1 lead.
Â
Nebraska (30-27) added a run in the eighth inning before Oregon finally got the bats going. After leaving the bases loaded in the bottom of the eighth, Oregon mounted a rally in the ninth, scoring two runs.
Â
Chase Meggers led off the inning with a double inside the third-base bag before moving to third on a Ryan Cooney bunt single. Carter Garate picked up an RBI with a hustle double to left center before Cooney scored on a Mason Neville sacrifice fly.
Â
Box Score Notes: Aroz had three hits for the second consecutive game, while Garate, Molony and Dominic Hellman each had a pair of hits … Ryan Featherston pitched 4.0 innings in relief, his second-longest outing of the season.
Â
On Deck: The NCAA selection show is Monday morning at 9 a.m. (PT).
