Live updates: Oregon vs. Texas Tech
Fifth Inning
T5
The bottom of the order delivered once again for the Ducks. Boettcher roped a leadoff single followed by a Garate double. Then, Drew Smith put the Ducks on the board with a two-run single to make it 6-2 and chase Washburn from the game.
Then, with two outs, Jeffery Heard and Bennett Thompson ripped back-to-back RBI singles to cut the TTU lead to 6-4.
B5
Damian Bravo smashed a two-out RBI double off of Twist to push TTU’s lead to 7-4. But the Ducks escaped without further damage.
Fourth Inning
T4
Dominic Hellman scorched a single up the middle that was easily Oregon’s hardest-hit ball of the day thus far. But the Ducks left a pair of runners stranded in scoring position once again and failed to capitalize on a big opportunity.
B4
Toby Twist stayed on in relief for Oregon and produced another very good frame, retiring TTU’s 1-2-3 hitters in order.
Third Inning
T3
Oregon’s No. 8 and No. 9 hitters, Bryce Boettcher and Carter Garate, both reached base and then advanced on a double steal. But Drew Smith struck out, and Jacob Walsh left a towering fly ball on the warning track to end the inning.
B3
Oregon lefty reliever Toby Twist looked much sharper in his second inning of work. He racked up a pair of strikeouts to close out the frame.
Second Inning
T2
Washburn continued to mix in a wipeout slider with a low-90s fastball to great effect. He struck out the first two batters of the inning, and then TTU second baseman Tracer Lopez robbed Bennett Thompson of a hit with a nice play to end the inning.
B2
Spoljaric surrendered walks to the first three batters he faced — including a two-run double to Damian Bravo to give TTU an early 2-0 lead.
Later in the inning, Tracer Lopez lifted a sac fly to the right field warning track to make it 3-0 and chase Spoljaric.
Ducks’ freshman lefty Toby Twist came on to make his UO debut and was greeted with a three-run home run from Austin Green to make it 6-0.
First Inning
T1
Texas Tech starter Jack Washburn mowed down the Ducks in the first inning. He struck out Drew Smith and Jacob Walsh swinging in order, then forced Justin Cassella into a weak pop-up.
B1
Oregon starter Turner Spoljaric worked his way out of a two-out jam to produce a scoreless first inning. He struck out TTU cleanup hitter Gavin Cash to end the frame.

Entering the 2026 college football season, the Oregon Ducks are looking to not only win their first national championship in program history but also their second Big Ten title in the last three seasons.
When the Ducks joined the Big Ten in 2024, they kicked off their inaugural season in the conference in style, finishing the regular season undefeated at 13-0. This regular season was concluded with a thrilling 45-37 win over the Penn State Nittany Lions in the Big Ten championship game.

The Ohio State Buckeyes, however, got revenge for their loss to the Ducks at Autzen Stadium earlier in the regular season, beating Oregon 41-21 in the CFP Quarterfinal at the Rose Bowl. Entering the 2026 season, here’s a look at the Ducks’ chances of winning the Big Ten for the second time.
Oregon Ducks Big Ten Title Odds: Who’s The Biggest Threat?
According to the latest betting odds by FanDuel Sportsbook, the Ducks have +270 odds to win the Big Ten championship this season. The one team ahead of them is the Ohio State Buckeyes at +190, who, believe it or not, are in search of their first Big Ten title since 2020. The Buckeyes were upset by the Indiana Hoosiers 13-10 in the Big Ten championship last season.
Among the top teams in the Big Ten next season, Ohio State poses the biggest threat to the Ducks’ chances of not only winning a conference title but also the national championship. The Buckeyes and Ducks will face off in what could be the game of the year in Columbus on Nov. 7.
As exciting as this matchup will be for college football fans, it likely won’t be the only one between the Buckeyes and Ducks. Regardless of which team wins the Nov. 7 showdown in Columbus, the Buckeyes and Ducks could match up again in the Big Ten title game and in the CFP.
Other Teams That Pose a Threat to Oregon
While the Buckeyes are the main threat to the Ducks’ Big Ten title aspirations, other teams will be worth watching. One of those teams is the defending national champions, the Indiana Hoosiers.
Despite the key losses this offseason, which include Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Fernando Mendoza, coach Curt Cignetti’s Hoosiers restocked talent with the addition of TCU Horned Frogs transfer quarterback Josh Hoover and Michigan State Spartans wide receiver Nick Marsh.
The only two losses that the Ducks suffered last season came against the Hoosiers. If the two face off in the Big Ten championship, Indiana looks to continue its dominance over the Ducks. The Hoosiers and Ducks don’t play each other during the regular season.
The USC Trojans, whom the Ducks will face at the Los Angeles Coliseum on Sept. 26, also look to knock off Oregon in what should be one of the top games of the first month of the college football season. Oregon coach Dan Lanning is undefeated 2-0 against USC’s Lincoln Riley and looks to extend the Ducks’ winning streak against the Trojans to five games.

DESCHUTES COUNTY, Ore. — Oregon State Police are asking for additional witnesses to come forward after a three-vehicle crash on Highway 20E in Deschutes County left two people seriously injured.
Troopers responded at 12:47 p.m. Friday, July 10, to the crash near milepost 41. A preliminary investigation found a westbound 2013 black Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck pulling a single-axle utility trailer attempted to pass a black Dodge 4500 towing a trailer. Police said an eastbound Hyundai Elantra tried to avoid a collision with the Chevrolet, lost control in the gravel on the eastbound shoulder, veered into the westbound lane and collided with the trailer pulled by the Dodge 4500.
The driver and passenger of the Hyundai were flown by air medic to a local hospital with serious injuries.
The crash affected traffic for about five hours. The driver of the Chevrolet was cited for careless driving and unsafe passing.
OSP is asking anyone who may have seen the Chevrolet driving westbound on Highway 20 at the moment of, or prior to, the collision to contact the OSP Northern Command Center dispatch at 800-442-0776 or *OSP (*677) from a mobile phone. Callers should reference case number SP26-255130.
