Oregon baseball starts season strong, sweeps Xavier in 4 games
Oregon baseball started the season off on the right foot, sweeping Xavier in 4 games. The No. 20 Ducks needed a walk-off sac fly to beat the Musketeers Friday, but cruised to a pair of victories Saturday. Sunday’s game was won 3-1 thanks to a pair of huge runs in the 8th inning.
Gavin Grant gave Oregon the lead in the 8th inning:
