Rorie is 6-feet tall, 170 pounds and was a four-star recruit, according to Scout.com and 247 Sports.

Oregon baseball beat California 5-1 Thursday night to begin the final series of the regular season. Ducks starting pitcher Tommy Thorpe threw a complete game to pick up his 10th win of the year. Tyler Baumgartner, Mark Karaviotis and Nick Catalano had an RBI apiece.

Thomas Lim was named to the PING All-West Region Team by the Golf Coached Association of America. The freshman golfer averaged a per-round score of 72 this season, landing him a spot on the Pac-12 All-Freshman team. Lim and the Ducks will compete at the NCAA Championships in Hutchinson, Kansas beginning May 26.
