The Oregon Ducks baseball program saw its stock rise after a pivotal weekend sweep at Washington.

The Ducks were not ranked in last week’s D1Baseball rankings but soared to No. 20 in Monday’s updated rankings. Oregon (24-11, 10-5) moved into a tie for first place in the Pac-12 standings over the weekend by taking all three games from the Huskies in Seattle, including a nail-biting 6-5 win in extra innings on Saturday.

After hitting a bit of a rough patch in early April, Oregon has rebounded nicely to win its past five games. Now the Ducks find themselves in the thick of an uber-competitive race for first place in the conference.

Oregon State, which is tied with the Ducks atop the Pac-12 standings, swept Long Beach State over the weekend and now sits at 27-7 on the season and 10-5 in conference play.

The Beavers are currently the No. 2 team in the nation. Stanford (No. 7) and UCLA (No. 13) also cracked this week’s top-25, while Arizona dropped out.

Oregon also moved up in a handful of other polls this week. Collegiate Baseball currently ranks the Ducks at No. 10, while NCBWA has them at No. 20.

In the USA Today Coaches Poll, Oregon landed at No. 23.
