Larson, Borba and Pendergrass are due up this inning.

M1: Texas 2, Oregon 0

A-Rod and Pack avoid a disaster in shallow left. Pack makes the grab to end the inning.

Molony rifles one back to Volantis, who gets Lauaki into a rundown. It's a 1-4-5 fielder's choice for the second out of the inning.

Lauaki goes the other way for a one-out double.

End of 1: Texas 2, Oregon 0

Doza couldn't quite leg out an infield single on a high chopper. It ends a two-run, one-hit inning for the Longhorns, who lead, 2-0, after one complete.

That's massive to send Volantis back out to the mound after putting a crooked number on the scoreboard.

A-Rod comes through. Two-run double the other way scoots all the way to the left-field wall. Robbins and Pack score to make it 2-0, Texas.

Pack takes ball four. That makes it two on with one out for Temo Becerra.

Pack crushed one onto Comal Street, but it was foul. 371 feet.

Tinney gives one a ride, but it drops into right field for an out, well short of the warning track.

Robbins draws a leadoff walk. That's the 29th walk of the postseason drawn by the Longhorns.

M1: Texas 0, Oregon 0

Volantis strikes out the side on his 21st pitch of the inning. Oregon threatens, but comes up empty against Volantis in the first.

It's now a 20-pitch inning for Volantis.

Good lord. That took way too long. The call is overturned to a walk and an advancement on a wild pitch. First and third, two outs for Oregon.

The ruling has been changed to an HBP for now, forcing Gimenez to stay at second base.

Ball four to Smith and Volantis' second wild pitch of the inning makes it first and third with two outs.

A runner on second and two outs for Drew Smith, who might be the best hitter in a pretty balanced Oregon lineup.

A nasty breaking ball by Volantis gets Laya down on strikes.

Giminez leads off the first with a single to right. Larson couldn't quite get over to make the diving snag.

An Oregon fan is getting chastised by an usher for trying to instigate things with Texas fans, throwing the horns down in people's faces during "The Eyes of Texas" before the game.
