Austin Super Regional Preview
The University of Texas and the University of Oregon are set to meet in the Austin Super Regional of the NCAA Baseball Tournament, a best‑of‑three series that will determine which team advances to the College World Series in Omaha.
Texas arrives with a potent lineup that has hit .376 for the season and launched 99 home runs, a surge that has helped the Longhorns outscore their regional opponents 41‑7. This will be the first super regional appearance for Texas under head coach Jim Schlossnagle, who has guided the team to a 9‑1 start for starting pitcher Dylan Volantis, who carries a 1.84 ERA.
Oregon counters with a pitching staff that has posted a 1.81 ERA over its last nine games and limited opponents to a .191 batting average, allowing just three runs across its regional contests. The Ducks’ recent dominance on the mound sets up a classic offense‑versus‑pitching duel.
