Stories to read:<\/p>\n

Live updates<\/p>\n

End of game: The Ducks go down in order. That\u2019s the ballgame, series and season: Texas wins 6-5 to sweep the Austin Super Regional.<\/p>\n

Top 9: Texas goes down in order. Bottom of 9 coming up, Ducks needing a run.<\/p>\n

Bottom 8: Texas brings in Sam Cozart out of the pen, who goes strikeout, strikeout, groundout to retire the Ducks in order. Oregon will have the top of the order coming up in the ninth, needing at least a run to keep its season alive.<\/p>\n

Top 8: Toby Twist took over for Bradley to start the eighth. Bradley was fantastic in his 3 1\/3 innings of relief, allowing one hit, no runs and striking out five.\u00a0Twist got two quick outs, then walked Tinney. Now, in comes Devin Bell with two outs and a runner on first. <\/p>\n

Bell walked one, hit another and then allowed a two-run double to Rodriguez as Texas takes a 5-4 lead.<\/p>\n

Bottom 7: Big moment here as Texas goes to the bullpen with no outs and a runner on third. Ryan Cooney led off the frame with a double off the left field wall, then advanced to third on a passed ball. It\u2019s Thomas Burns now into pitch for Texas to get out of this jam with Drew Smith at the plate.<\/p>\n

Oregon leads 5-4. Burns came in, struck out Smith, but then allowed Brayden Jaksa to drive in a run with a fielder\u2019s choice to second. <\/p>\n

Top 7: Bradley strands another runner. We\u2019re at the seventh-inning stretch, still tied, 4-4.<\/p>\n

Bottom 6: The Ducks finally got Texas to dip into its bullpen. While Riojas managed to get the first two outs quickly, he hit Gimenez on a 3-1 count with his 111th pitch of the game and got the hook. Ethan Walker comes in to get Angel Laya to line out to end the inning. We\u2019re still tied, 4-4. <\/p>\n

Top 6: Harmless inning for Bradley and the Ducks, who strand a runner who reached on a HBP. It\u2019s still tied, 4-4. Bradley\u2019s pitch count is at 45. His season-high is 69. <\/p>\n

Bottom 5: We have ourselves a tied ballgame. Oregon loads the bases with one out and gets the game tied with a run-scoring fielder\u2019s choice to second off the bat of Mabeus. One thing of note: Oregon got two runners on with no outs, then elected to have cleanup hitter Drew Smith advance the runners over with a bunt. While the move eventually led to the tying run, it also limited the potential of a big Oregon inning.<\/p>\n

Top 5: A little trouble for Bradley, but no damage by the Longhorns. After walking one and hitting another with two outs, Oregon\u2019s reliever bounces back to get a ground out to end the threat. It\u2019s 4-3 Texas at the halfway point, a brisk two hours since first pitch. <\/p>\n

Bottom 4: An easier inning for Riojas, who strands Jack Brooks \u2014 who walked \u2014 on first to end the inning. It\u2019s 4-3 Texas.<\/p>\n

Top 4: Texas is the first team to force a move to the bullpen. The Longhorns chased Sanford after the Oregon starter loaded the bases with two outs on two walks and a single.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In came Tanner Bradley, who fell behind Becerra 3-0 in the count before coming back for the inning-ending strikeout.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s still 4-3 Texas.\u00a0Remember that at-bat. Could be a big one. <\/p>\n

Bottom of 3: Well look at that: we have ourselves a game. The Ducks plated two runs in the inning thanks to an RBI double from Drew Smith followed by a run-scoring single from Brayden Jaksa. After last night\u2019s struggles in the clutch, the Ducks have three two-out RBIs so far tonight.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s 4-3 Texas.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Top of 3: Sanford finally settles down a bit and records his first scoreless inning \u2014 aided by a fantastic catch in deep foul territory by left fielder Jax Gimenez. It\u2019s still 4-1 Texas.<\/p>\n

Bottom of 2: Drew Smith led off with a double and scored on a two-out RBI single from Naulivou Lauaki. It had to be Lauaki\u2019s softest hit of the year \u2014 a 72 mph squib shot off the bat that found a hole in the right side of a shifted infield.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s 4-1 Texas.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Top of 2: It\u2019s not getting any better for Sanford. After getting the leadoff batter, he allowed a single, walked a pair, let a run score on a wild pitch and then another when Tinney ripped a ball toward third base that Drew Smith couldn\u2019t corral. It\u2019s 4-0 Texas now.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bottom of 1: A breezy 1-2-3 inning for Riojas in his first half inning against the Ducks. He\u2019s sitting at about 95-96 mph with his fastball and has already shown a change of arm angle slot on a few different pitches. It\u2019s still 2-0 Texas after 1.<\/p>\n

Top of 1: It\u2019s a meltdown of a first inning here for the Ducks. Will Sanford allowed back-to-back home runs to the game\u2019s first two batters, then walked the three-hole hitter. Sanford was able to get out of the jam with a strikeout followed by a strikeout-throw-out double-play, but not an ideal start at all for the Ducks.<\/p>\n

Pre-game <\/p>\n

5:45 p.m.:<\/p>\n

We have lineups.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

5:30 p.m.:\u00a0<\/p>\n

Alrighty, let\u2019s fire these updates up again. It\u2019s about 30 minutes away from first pitch here at Disch-Falk Field and the Ducks are finishing up warm-ups. I\u2019ve noticed the group completes their workout before every game by forming two lines and going through and hugging each other, one by one. <\/p>\n

Will they get to do it again?<\/p>\n

Green is the color of the day for Oregon, Jersey Mike\u2019s is the press meal up here in the box and don\u2019t let that mild 83-degree temperature reading fool you \u2014 it\u2019s downright soupy out there.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s hoping for a closer \u2014 and quicker \u2014 game than last night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"QuickTake: Follow along for updates throughout Oregon’s game against Texas in the Austin Super Regional.
