That series loss at Ohio State seems like a long time ago.
Oregon finished the week with a 3-1 record with a win over Georgetown and then the Ducks came back to PK Park and defeated UCLA two games out of three to win the series. As a result, Oregon moved up in the various national polls.
The team moved to No. 13 in the land in the D1baseball.com and the Perfect Game polls. That’s three spots up in the D1baseball poll and up four spots in Perfect Game.
In the latest version of the USA TODAY/Coaches poll, they weren’t as generous. The Ducks moved up just wo spots to No. 16, still one below the Bruins at No. 15.
Oregon will receive plenty of chances too improve its standings in the polls this week, however, as the Ducks host Oregon State at PK Park. The Beavers are ranked in the Top 5 in all of the polls with a 30-7 overall record.
The Ducks improved their RPI rank, moving up 12 spots to No. 45. There’s still a lot of baseball left to be played, but Oregon is certainly in position to host a regional in the NCAA tournament. With a 27-11 record, Oregon is still one of the top teams on the West Coast. Now hosting a possible Super Regional is a different story. The Ducks still have a lot of work to do there.
In order to host a Super Regional, you have to be one of the Top 8 teams playing, but with the Beavers (RPI) and the Big Ten first-place holders, the Iowa Hawkeyes, still on the schedule, hosting a Super Regional isn’t entirely out of the question yet.
