Oregon baseball had an electric start before disaster struck in the middle innings of the College Station Super Regional.

The Ducks fell to No. 3 national seed Texas A&M 10-6. UO will now need to win Sunday and Monday to make the College World Series in Omaha.

Anson Aroz blasted a two-run shot in the first inning to get the UO on the board. The Aggies answered with a four-hit bottom half that brought in three runs.

Oregon then posted four runs in the top of the second inning to retake the lead. The Aggies got one back in the third inning.

In the fourth, disaster struck for the Ducks. After laying an egg in the top half, a pair of errors helped the Aggies scratch across three runs. That chased starter RJ Gordon out of the game, having allowed seven runs, six earned, on nine hits and having thrown three wild pitches.

Freshman Ryan Featherston shook off a walk to his first batter by getting the next two out. But in the next inning, a trio of walks with a couple wild pitches spelled the end of his day. Texas A&M took advantage of the free passes to score three runs on no hits.

Neither team scored the rest of the way.

Oregon posted nine hits on the day and left seven runners on base. The Ducks also committed two errors, both in that disasterous fourth inning.

The Ducks used four pitchers over the eight innings. Gordon took the loss.

The best-of-three series continues Sunday from Blue Bell Park at 4:30 p.m. PDT. Monday's "if necessary" game does not yet have a first pitch time.
