The No. 6 Texas Longhorns (44—13) now find themselves only one win away from returning to Omaha and the College World Series. Standing in their way is a battle with the No. 11 Oregon Ducks (43—17).

Before they could get to needing just one more win, the Longhorns had to take care of their business in the Austin Super Regional opener. Fortunately for the faithful in burnt orange, Texas did exactly that and cruised to an 11-3 victory on Saturday evening.

However, it was far from smooth sailing in the early going for the Longhorns. This rang especially true for Dylan Volantis on the mound. Yes, he gave the Longhorns 5.1 innings and allowed only two runs while striking out 10 Ducks, but the southpaw consistently had to work himself out of jams.

Getting out of those jams allowed the offense to get to work. And they did so out of the gate, with Adrian Rodriguez logging a two-run double in the bottom of the first to put Texas ahead. He would go on to drive in three more runs and record a career-high five RBI in the victory.

Elsewhere, the duo of Aiden Robbins and Carson Tinney going hitless did not prevent the offense from rolling. The bottom of the lineup produced, especially Casey Borba and Ethan Mendoza as they each hit a home run.

Now, they return to the diamond on Sunday evening looking to get the job done against Oregon once again. Ruger Riojas will be on the bump and aim to give the Longhorns a strong outing and put them in a position to win.
