On Saturday, the Oregon Ducks got a series win over the Columbia Lions after defeating them twice in one day during a doubleheader. The final scores of the games were 35-1 and 8-3 respectively.
The Ducks also got a 20-11 win over Columbia on Friday. The offense for head coach Mark Wasikowski’s team has been off the charts this weekend. Here is a look at what has gone down.
On Friday, the team had 18 hits. Burke-Lee Mabeus led the way for the Ducks with four hits. Two of them were doubles, which resulted in three RBI.
Designated hitter Dominic Hellman stood out as well. He had two grand slams in the game to help Oregon put the Lions away.

Oregon won the second game of the doubleheader by a score of 8-3. The home runs came early in the game from Coen Niclai and Anson Aroz.

Mason Neville and Hellman joined in on the action and hit home runs themselves as the Ducks cruised to win the game and take the series.
Oregon will look to bring even more offensive power to PK Park on Sunday as they look to complete a four-game series sweep of the Columbia Lions. The first pitch in Eugene is scheduled for 3:05 p.m. EST.
