Oregon Meets No. 1 UCLA for Big Ten Baseball Title in Omaha

A win would likely secure Oregon a regional-host spot for the NCAA Tournament when sites are announced later Sunday.

Overview

  • The Big Ten championship is scheduled for noon PT Sunday at Charles Schwab Field in Omaha with the Ducks and Bruins facing a rematch of a tense Los Angeles series.
  • Oregon reached the final by winning two games in one day on Saturday, powering its run with eight total home runs and a pair from Brayden Jaksa.
  • The Ducks plan to start Miles Gosztola in the title game after his strong outing against UCLA two weeks ago.
  • Top-ranked UCLA advanced via walk-off wins in both the quarterfinal and semifinal and will hand the ball to Landon Stump as it defends its regular-season crown.
  • The title outcome matters for NCAA placement because the winner is likely to lock up a regional-host spot and influence seeding before regional sites are revealed later Sunday.
