In his seven seasons as Oregon baseball head coach, Mark Wasikowski has turned Oregon’s program around quickly, leading the Ducks into the NCAA Tournament for an impressive four-seasons straight.

The Ducks and Aggies are playing in one of the most hostile college baseball environments in the country at Olsen Field at Blue Bell Park against the Aggies. Texas A&M baseball fans are notoriously passionate, earning the nickname RAggies for “ragging on” opponents.

"We're going into their house and it's going to be a competitive environment, which is always great," Boettcher told Oregon SI's Bri Amaranthus. "It’s probably the next closest thing to go out on the football field. They'll probably have like 10,000 people at the game. So I'm really excited for the energy. No matter what it looks like, just trying to grit wins out, we've got a good chance."
