The Texas Longhorns baseball team takes on the Oregon Ducks in the Austin Super Regional of the 2026 NCAA Baseball Tournament at UFCU Disch-Falk Field. The winner of the series will advance to the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska.
Both teams dominated their four team regional to reach this point. UT advanced with a 6-4 win over UC Santa Barbara. The Horns outscored their opponents by a combined 41-7, including 19-1 win over Holy Cross and the 16-2 win over Tarleton State.
Oregon had a similar run through the Eugene Regional. The Ducks beat the Yale Bulldogs, Washington State Cougars and rival Oregon State Beavers to reach the next round of the tournament.
The Longhorns, making their first super regional appearance under Jim Schlossnagle, hit .376 at the plate in the Austin Regional and added 12 home runs to their season count, which is now at 99. Dylan Volantis, one of the top pitchers in the country, will get the Game 1 start for the Longhorns, bringing a 9-1 record and a 1.84 ERA into it.
With two on and two out, Texas shortstop Adrian Rodriguez shot a double through the left field gap that went all the way to the wall. The Ducks were playing the outfield very shallow on the infielder. Both runs scored to give Texas an early first inning lead.
Texas ace Dylan Volantis got into a bit of a jam in the first. The Ducks got runners at the corners but couldn’t cash in against the UT pitcher.
