Oregon kept its Pac-12 Tournament run alive with a thrilling 8-6 comeback win over Stanford in Scottsdale, Ariz. on Thursday. The Ducks trailed 6-4 when the ninth inning began but sent the game to extras after Colby Shade's electric two-out triple that resulted in him scoring the game-tying run after a throwing error. In the top of the 10th, Sabin Ceballos crushed a solo homer for the go-ahead run. Closer Josh Mollerus slammed the door on the Cardinal in the 10th to send the Ducks to the tournament semifinals, where they will face Washington at 2:30 p.m. PT Friday. Until then, here are three takeaways from a dramatic win that could have season-defining implications for Oregon.
