Oregon Ducks Get Back on Track Against San Diego
Oregon was able to put runs on the board early on Saturday facing the host team in the San Diego Classic. Koral Costa was a big reason early in the game hitting a two run home run giving the Oregon Ducks a 6-0 lead they would never relinquish. Coming off their second loss of the season the day before against top ranked Florida it was important for Mike White’s team to get back to doing what they do best, hitting.
