OTF Premium Texas rallies for a 6-5 win over Oregon, punches ticket to the College World Series for the 39th time

[Jeff Howe]

Schloss said they went with Brody Walls because he liked the way he's been trending and felt the moment wouldn't be too big for him. He credited Thomas Burns with minimizing the damage in his brief appearance.

Clozart just left UZero no chance.  Credit to the Ducks they waited through the Texas celebration and the playing of the Eyes to shake hands!!   Play the game right and respecting your opponent in defeat is representing oneself well.

TTU take notes!!

Schloss: "That sign outside the door says 38 trips to Omaha. It's said 38 for a long time, so it feels good to put a different number up there."

[Jeff Howe]

Schloss: "We're going to enjoy this. This is hard."

Rodriguez: "It's always been a dream of mine to go to Omaha. I can't wait to get there and compete."

[Jeff Howe]

"To be honest, I kind of blacked out after that last out," Rodriguez said when asked if he knew Texas only dogpiles in Omaha.

[Jeff Howe]

Cozart: "Winning that doesn't make us memorable here. Winning a Super Regional doesn't make you memorable at Texas. Winning a national championship does."

That's it for a very late postgame press conference.

Yesterday Brody Wall came through when Thomas Burns struggled and today it was the other way around.  That’s resilience.  
 

Middle relief  has been  inconsistent all year, but this team does have resilience. 
 

I was at the game tonight. It was a bit excruciating and a roller coaster. But oh so satisfying.  
 

Hook’em!

Wasikowski said Oregon is, by and large, not a big transfer portal baseball program. That's why Wasikowski said his team is so emotional right now.

I'm nostalgic for getting to know players over multiple seasons, but with the number of games in a baseball season, its been pretty easy to get invested in "new" guys. Pretty wild to see not only the portal additions but freshman impact on this team.

Volantis and Cozart have REALLY spoiled us when it comes to freshman pitchers these last two years. Insane how good both those guys were immediately. Can’t wait to see what we can do in Omaha!
