The Bruins bounced back from two straight losses to win 6-1 in Sunday’s finale, getting to UO starter Cheridan Hawkins early and denying the Ducks in the few chances they had to get back into the game.

Oregon (34-5, 8-1 Pac-12) came into Sunday on a seven-game win streak, including a run-rule shortened blowout of the Bruins on Saturday.
