The Oregon baseball team had a rollercoaster day on Saturday, April 12, splitting their doubleheader at Zach Field. In the first game, the Panthers fell to Edgerton 7-1 despite a strong performance from senior Peyton Soule. However, they bounced back in the second game to beat Stoughton 8-7 in eight innings.
In the thrilling victory over Stoughton, Oregon blew a seven-run lead but managed to come out on top when sophomore Gavin Kupcho scored the game-winning run on a balk in the eighth inning. Standout performances came from senior Ryan Dins, Cole Davenport, Elliot Mueller, and Carson Gehrke, who each had multiple hits and RBIs during the game.
The Panthers scored five runs in the fourth inning to take a commanding lead, only to see it slip away as Stoughton rallied to tie the game in the seventh inning. Gehrke came in to pitch in relief, shutting down the Vikings and securing the win for Oregon.
Despite their earlier loss to Edgerton, the Panthers showed resilience throughout the day. Soule had a strong game at the plate, and the pitching staff, including Dillon McCarthy and Dins, put together solid performances.
With this split, Oregon now holds a 2-2 record for the season. Their ability to come back and secure a victory in a close game against Stoughton demonstrates the team’s potential and determination. Fans can look forward to more exciting games as the Panthers continue their season.
