No. 15 Oregon baseball looks to bounce back against Cal State Northridge

The midweek game could mean another start for Christian Jones.

The lefty has made one start this year in addition to a few bullpen appearances after missing all of last year rehabbing from Tommy John surgery. Jones said after his last start — a victory over Portland — that he wasn’t at 100 percent mostly because he wasn’t trusting his elbow yet.  If Jones does start, it is likely that head coach George Horton will have him on some sort of a pitch count.

The 6 p.m. first pitch marks the start of a busy five game week at PK Park, one of three five game weeks on the schedule this year for George Horton’s Ducks. Oregon plays the Matadors again tomorrow before welcoming No. 2 Vanderbilt for a huge three game set at PK Park.
