Bases: Bull Dogs avoid sweep, take one from Ducks.

After losing to the Ducks on Friday and Saturday, the Fresno State Bull Dogs were able to avoid the weekend sweep by defeating Oregon 10-3 on Sunday afternoon.

The Ducks were able to jump on the scoreboard first when Eddy Rodriguez scored from third base after the Bull Dogs pitcher fielded a ground ball and threw wide of the first baseman.

That lead didn’t last long, however.

At the top of the third inning Fresno State’s bats started to come alive. They were able to score six runs on five hits capped with om Mendonca knocking a three-run homer over right-center. Mendonca would later homer in the ninth for his second on the day.

For Oregon, Antony Kreitz homered in the bottom of the ninth, but the rally stopped there.

The Ducks’ left-hand pitcher Bennett Whitmore takes the loss giving up seven runs on six hits.

Today just was not the Ducks’ day, but they did win the weekend series with Fresno State by winning 2 out of three games.
