AUSTIN, Texas – Oregon saw its 2021 season come to an end at the NCAA Austin Regional after a whirlwind day that saw the Ducks walk-off to force a deciding game before falling in game two.
The Ducks first endured a five-hour rain delay prior to the start of game one, then proceeded to walk-off in extra innings for a 3-2 win after giving up a lead in the seventh inning. Oregon ultimately fell in the winner-take-all second game, 1-0, in a contest that went into the early morning in Austin. I m so proud of this team, said head coach Melyssa Lombardi. Just to watch them transform from the beginning of the year to now, I can t say enough. My heart hurts because they were right there, and I want them to get what they want, but we just fell short.
