The Oregon Ducks rallied in the 14th inning, using a decisive bunt and a stifling bullpen to secure a 6-5 walk-off win over USC.

Oregon’s 4‑3 win over USC on Friday night, fueled by back‑to‑back homers from Brayden Jaksa and Naulivou Lauaki Jr., not only evened the series but also locked the Ducks into a top‑four seed for the upcoming Big Ten Tournament. The final showdown will determine the three‑seed and four‑seed positions, with head coach Mark Wasikowski absent for his daughter’s graduation.
