Texas Longhorns Aim for College World Series Berth Against Oregon Ducks

On Sunday evening, the Texas Longhorns baseball team will find out if their next stop is Austin or Omaha. The Longhorns (44-13) are set to face the Oregon Ducks (43-17) at UFCU Disch-Falk Field in the second game of their super regional series.
