Meyers, WSU Drop Pitcher’s Duel to No. 15 Oregon in NCAA Regional Semifinal
May 30, 2026 | Baseball
EUGENE, Ore. (May 30, 2026) – Senior righthander Luke Meyers worked into the eighth inning for Washington State who went toe-to-toe with No. 11 national seed and No. 15 ranked Oregon but dropped a 4-0 contest at PK Park Saturday evening. The Cougars were the home team and Oregon was the visitor.
The Cougars (31-27) allowed a fifth-inning RBI-single and trailed 1-0 entering the ninth inning before the Ducks (42-16) tacked on a three-run home run. Meyers was impressive, matching career highs with 7.1 innings and seven strikeouts while allowing just one earned run before exiting with one out in the eighth inning.
Oregon starter Will Stanford was tough on the Cougar hitters, striking out 14 but walked two, hit a batter and allowed a single. Cam Macleod singled in the fifth inning and Max Hartman singled in the ninth inning.
KEY MOMENTS OF THE GAME
Meyers traded zeroes with Oregon starter Will Sanford the first four innings. Oregon used a one-out double in the fifth, followed by a two-out walk and single through the right side to take a 1-0 lead.
The Cougars threated in the fifth as Ollie Obenour walked and Macleod pulled a two-out single through the left side to put two runners on but Oregon ended the frame with a strikeout.
Meyers allowed a leadoff single in the sixth but ended the inning with a 5-4-3 double play and followed with another double play in a scoreless seventh inning. In the bottom of the seventh, Dustin Robinson worked a one-out walk and moved to second one batter later but Oregon ended the inning with a strikeout.
Oregon hit a two-out three-run home run to push the lead to 4-0 in the top of the ninth. Hartman singled up the middle in the ninth but was stranded after a pair of strikeouts.
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
Trevor Smith had his 15-game on-base streak and 13-game hitting streak
Matt Priest had his 16-game hitting streak
Gavin Roy had his school-record 44-game on-base streak snapped
Matt Priest singled in the 6th to extend his hitting streak to 16 games
