Lions Struggle at the Plate in 7-0 Loss to Ducks

Columbia baseball fell 7-0 to No. 11 Oregon in the series finale at PK Park on Sunday.

Senior pitcher Joe Sheets delivered a strong start for the Lions, allowing just one run over five innings while striking out four. However, Columbia’s offense struggled, managing only two hits—one from Sam Miller in the first inning and another from Jack Kail in the ninth. Cole Fellows reached base twice on walks.

Oregon (10-2) took an early lead in the second inning with an RBI single from Ryan Cooney. Columbia (1-6) had scoring chances in the fourth and sixth innings but failed to convert.

The Ducks extended their lead in the seventh, scoring two runs on a hit-by-pitch with the bases loaded and a fielder’s choice. Oregon then put the game out of reach with four more runs in the eighth.

Columbia had two runners on base in the ninth, but pinch-hitter Tate Vogler struck out to end the game.

The Lions will travel to No. 6 Georgia for a three-game series next weekend. The first game is set for Friday at 3 p.m. in Athens.
