Scored three runs in the ninth inning to break a 3-3 tie and secure a victory against a resilient Nebraska team on Saturday. Now, they are up against arguably the team that has displayed the best performance in the first two games: Oregon.
They have been instrumental in their victories over Oklahoma and Baylor. However, Oregon will face a tough challenge, especially in terms of preseason expectations, when they go head-to-head with Texas Tech.
Texas Tech, who only scored two runs and faced strikeouts on Opening Day, exhibited offensive potential against Nebraska, clinching a 6-3 win.
The Ducks are striving to emerge as the sole undefeated team by the end of the first weekend, while Texas Tech aims to claim a victory and hold its position in various top-25 rankings.
The pitching duties for Oregon will be shouldered by Turner Spoljaric, who will be taking the mound. Spoljaric, a native of Ontario, Canada, had a 6.55 ERA as a freshman last season and made four starts for Oregon in 2023.
The first pitch for the Oregon vs. Texas Tech baseball game has been rescheduled to 4 p.m. EST, delayed by 30 minutes due to the previous game running long.
In the Texas Tech lineup, players like Tracer Lopez, Austin Green, Kevin Bazzell, and Gavin Kash are expected to make an impact, with Jack Washburn leading the pitching for the team.
On the other side, Oregon’s lineup features players such as Drew Smith, Jacob Walsh, Justin Cassella, and Dominic Hellman, with Turner Spoljaric taking the mound as the starting pitcher.
Both teams have showcased strong performances in their respective games, setting the stage for an exciting matchup. Stay tuned to witness the Oregon vs. Texas Tech baseball game live.
