Oregon baseball takes on Gonzaga for midweek two-game series

Oregon is coming off a sweep of Ohio State and has been victorious in 12 of their last 13 games.

The series with Gonzaga might prove more difficult than most non-conference, mid-week series. Oregon head coach George Horton said that due to them not having a weekend series this week, the Ducks could face their top starters.

“Gonzaga has already clinched their conference, they don’t have a full weekend,” said Horton. “We might see Marco Gonzalez, a Team USA guy on a team that I coached, we might see their weekend pitching.”

Jordan Spencer (2-0, 4.50) will take the mound for Oregon to start the first game against Gonzaga, going against RHP Zach Abbruzza (0-2, 3.80). Horton will likely stick to his routine in midweek games and take a pitch-by-committee approach with Christian Jones, Garrett Cleavinger and Darrell Hunter likely seeing a couple innings apiece. Neither team has announced their Wednesday starter. 

First pitch will be at 6 p.m. at PK Park.
