Baseball

Ducks split twin bill with Huskies — Braden Stutzman hit a two-run single in the top of the 13th inning to lift Oregon to a 6-4 win over Washington in the first game of a Pac-12 doubleheader Sunday in Seattle. Two Huskies pitchers combined to shut out the Ducks in the second game, a 4-0 Washington victory. In the opener, Jonny DeLuca’s solo homer put Oregon ahead in the top of the 11th, but the Huskies countered with a run in the home half. Gabe Mathews had three hits to lead the Ducks in their win. In the second game, Spencer Steer was 2-for-3 to lead Oregon (6-9 Pac-12, 19-15 overall), but Jordan Jones and Josh Burgmann struck out 11 Ducks and scattered nine hits to secure the win for Washington (8-4, 17-15), which won the opener of the three-game series 2-1 on Friday night. The Ducks open a three-game Civil War series against Oregon State in Corvallis on Thursday night.

Softball

OSU romps over Stanford — Oregon State polished off a three-game Pac-12 sweep of Stanford on Sunday, erupting for 14 hits in a 12-1 run-rule victory at the Cardinal’s Smith Family Stadium. Missy Nunes led the Beavers at the plate, going 3-for-3 with a home run and five RBIs. Mariah Mazon tossed a five-inning three-hitter against Stanford (2-10 Pac-12, 22-19 overall) in her 13th complete game of the season to improve her record to 11-10. Oregon State (7-8, 24-17) entertains Portland State in a nonconference doubleheader Tuesday at the OSU Softball Complex.

Oregon denied sweep at ASU — Oregon managed only three hits against Arizona State’s Giselle Juarez on Sunday, and the No. 7 Sun Devils beat the No. 3 Ducks 4-0 to prevent a sweep in their three-game Pac-12 series in Tempe, Arizona. Oregon (9-3 Pac-12, 34-7 overall) saw its eight-game winning streak ended as ASU (8-5, 34-7) salvaged the series finale. The Ducks host No. 2 Oklahoma on Thursday before opening a three-game Pac-12 series in Eugene against Stanford on Friday.
