There’s something special about college baseball in June. As the field dwindles and the stakes get higher, the Oregon Ducks find themselves still alive, playing for a spot in the College World Series, hoping to make their first trip to Omaha as a member of the final eight in the modern era.
In the way will be the Texas Longhorns, a No. 6 seed in the tournament, and one of the top teams remaining in the field. If you are wondering how to watch the action live, you have come to the right place.

After sweeping the Eugene regional with wins over the Yale Bulldogs, Washington State Cougars, and Oregon State Beavers last weekend, the Ducks stand as one of the hottest teams in the nation right now, and figure to be a tough out for the Longhorns this weekend.
Of course, taking down the Longhorns is going to be no walk in the park. According to FanDuel Sportsbook, Texas is a -340 favorite to win the best-of-three series, and has the second-best odds in the nation to win the championship.
However, don’t count out the Ducks. D1Baseball made its predictions for each of the Super Regional matchups, including the Ducks’ best-of-three series against the Longhorns. While the oddsmakers believe Texas is a favorite not only to advance but to win the national title, the staff at D1Baseball placed more faith in the Ducks heading into Austin.
Seven members of D1Baseball’s staff predicted Oregon to emerge from the Austin Super Regional and advance to the program’s first College World Series since 1954. Meanwhile, three other members and 70 percent of the public who voted went with the favored Longhorns.
