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."
