Before the game even began, Oregon learned it had won its third straight outright Pac-12 title. The Ducks came out swinging regardless, defeating No. 17 Arizona, 15-7, in five innings. The Ducks found out about their outright title about 30 minutes prior to first pitch, when Arizona State walked off to beat UCLA, 11-10, in Tempe. The ASU win eliminated any chance at a shared title with the Bruins. Oregon has won three straight Pac-12 championships after never winning a league title in the history of the program. Oregon is the first team to win three straight league championships since Arizona won three in a row from 2003-05. The No. 1 ranked Ducks improved to 46-6 (21-3 Pac-12) with the win in their regular season finale. Oregon has now claimed 24 of its last 26 Pac-12 series and the Ducks’ 21 league wins is the most in program history.
