Oregon scored two runs on four singles in the bottom of the fourth inning to take a 3-1 lead. Two of the hits were bloopers; one of the others was a chopper that never left the infield.
Kiko Romero, the hero of Wednesday’s walk-off win over Oregon State, tied it in the sixth in dramatic fashion. Romero clubbed a drive to deep left-center. Colby Shade leaped for it at the wall. It sailed over his glove and bounded off the yellow padding into medium center. Romero raced around the bases for an inside-the-park home run. It was also Romero’s 86th RBI of the season, tying Ron Hassey’s UA record.
