BERKELEY – The California baseball team looks to continue its hot streak when No. 23 Oregon comes to Stu Gordon Stadium for a three-game Pac-12 series starting Friday at 7:05 p.m. PT. Friday and Sunday's game will be televised on the Pac-12 Network with Tyler Peterson on the call. Saturday's game will be streamed on the Cal Live Stream with Jim Darby handling play-by-play duties.
 
Cal (17-16, 5-13 Pac-12), which has won five of its last six games, is coming off an impressive hitting display against USF when the Bears scored a season-high 17 runs. Cal has scored nine or more runs in five of its last six contests, including 10 or more in three straight games.
 
Oregon entered this week ranked No. 23 in the D1Baseball rankings. The Ducks are 24-11 and have a 9-6 record in Pac-12 play. Oregon took a series from No. 7 Stanford last week in Eugene but has lost two in a row after falling to Portland 10-9 Tuesday night in Portland.
