The Oregon Ducks celebrate their victory over Yale with fans during the NCAA Eugene Regional Baseball Tournament at PK Park n Eugene May 29, 2026. | Chris Pietsch/The Register-Guard / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images
Your Oregon Ducks opened up their NCAA Tournament journey by taking on the Yale Bulldogs on Friday night.
