Ducks end it all with loss
Huskies bury Oregon in doubleheader
By DOUG LEVY
Of the Emerald
Ressurected from a pre
mature embalmment last
weekend, Oregon's baseball
team was given an indecent
burial Wednesday with a
doubleheader loss to the
University of Washington, 5-4,
5-1.
Washington thus captured its
first Northern Division title since
1959. And the Ducks put the
final touch on their final season,
finishing 2-14 in the division and
16-21 overall.
The first game was an eight
inning affair in which the Husk
ies rallied from a 2-0 deficit to
take a 5-4 victory. The second
game was all Washington as
Ken Knutson scattered seven
Duck hits on the way to a 5-1
win.
“I think Washington deserved
to win it,” said a subdued Mel
Krause, Oregon’s coach.
“Coming from behind 2-0 in the
last inning to win, that’s the sign
of a championship team.”
Huskies coach Bob
MacDonald wasn’t about to
disagree. "The kids did it," he
said. “They just wouldn’t give
up. We’ve played under
pressure for the last two
weeks." Indeed. The Huskies,
who finished 12-6, had to win
their last five games to garner
the division crown.
MacDonald also had some
praise for the Ducks. "I don’t
care what anyone says, they’ve
got a good ballclub. They have
some talented players, and they
came out fired up — that’s what I
was afraid of.”
For six innings of the first
game, the Ducks were a good
ballclub. Dean Kegler looked
practically unhittable, sur
rendering just three hits, and
Oregon fielded flawlessly
behind him.
Randy Porter’s sacrifice fly in
the third inning scored Dean
Hummel, and when Steve Crum
belted his 14th home run of the
year (tying Oregon’s season
record) in the fifth, it looked as if
Kegler had breathing room.
But when the seventh inning
rolled around, the roof caved in.
The Huskies jumped on the
senior ace for two hits and three

Only a few feet kept Steve Crum from sitting alone with the season
home run record as baseball at Oregon came to an end.
walks, and it was 4-2 Washing
ton by the time Mike Talia put
out the fire,
Oregon wasn’t dead yet.
Three walks and a two-run
pinch single by Kirk Cameron
helped the Ducks tie it up 4-4
after seven.
In the eighth, Warren deLisle
reached first on Mike McLaran’s
throwing error and came
around to score on a sacrifice
fly by Claude Green to make it
5-4 Washington. This time the
Ducks couldn’t counter. Talia
(2-3) took the loss.
Game two was highlighted by
Knutson, who went the distance
for Washington. He stretched
his streak of innings pitched
without allowing an earned run
to 23 while running his record to
5-1.
Single runs by the Huskies in
the second, third, fifth, sixth and
seventh innings were more than
enough to hold off Oregon in
the second game.
One interesting moment
came in the bottom of the third,
when Crum flied deep to right,
failing by a few feet to set
himself alone at the top of the
Ducks’ season home run
record.
So now baseball at Oregon is
definitely over. Ironically, this
game ended in the same fashion
as Oregon's first in 1877 — with
a loss.
