SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — The Oregon Ducks fell 4-2 to the Arizona State Sun Devils in an elimination game Thursday at the Pac-12 baseball tournament.
After their ouster from the inaugural Pac-12 tournament, the Ducks now will wait until Monday to learn their draw in the NCAA baseball tournament.
The fourth-seeded Ducks suffered an 8-6 loss to the Arizona Wildcats in their Pac-12 tournament opener on Wednesday, sending them to the losers’ bracket of the double-elimination tourney.
On Thursday, the Ducks (35-23) took a 2-1 lead in the fourth inning, off Gavin Grant’s RBI single and Tanner Smith’s sacrifice fly. But the No. 8 seed Sun Devils (26-31) answered in the sixth on Kai Murphy’s two-run homer and then added a run in the eighth on Joe Lampe’s sac fly.
Arizona State next will play at 3 p.m. Friday against the loser of Thursday’s later game between top-seeded Stanford and fifth-seeded Arizona.
