Ironically, that prediction was pretty accurate, with Oregon finishing the regular season ranked No. The Ducks were projected to finish fifth in the Pac-12 before the season started. Under head coach Mark Wasikowski, the Ducks have made it to the regionals in the past three seasons.
Since then, the Ducks have made it to the NCAA Tournament a total of eight times, advancing out of the regional stage just once in 2012, where they ultimately lost to Kent State. The program was shut down following the 1981 season, and the university was without a baseball team until 2009. The Ducks have a complicated baseball history. They are now two wins away from making their first College World Series appearance since 1954. Simply put, the Ducks are advancing to a stage of the baseball postseason that they haven’t reached since 2012. Here is our FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) guide to Oregon’s stay in the Super Regionals this weekend: What is the historical context?
There’s no shame in that, so we wanted to help get you caught up to speed on what’s taken place, give this Oregon run some historical context, and paint a picture of how things might look going forward. While the Ducks have been a fascinating watch for the past several months, a lot of fans are likely tuning in for the first time all year. With two more wins, they will secure their spot in the College World Series for the first time in over 70 years. After winning the Pac-12 tournament a couple of weekends ago and making their way past Xavier and Vanderbilt over the weekend, the Ducks are currently on a nine-game winning streak.
