The hot ticket in town this week is for the Super Regional series between the Oregon Ducks and Oral Roberts Golden Eagles, where two wins separate one team from a trip to the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska.
After both teams swept their regionals in the first round of the NCAA Tournament last weekend, they earned the right to participate in a three-game series that will determine one of the eight teams to make it to the world series. The first game of the series is scheduled for 5 p.m. on Friday night at PK Park in Eugene.

The university released a statement on Wednesday afternoon saying that tickets for the event are currently sold out, but there is a chance that additional seating will be added via temporary bleachers, which are currently in the approval process.
“Because of significant demand, this weekend’s NCAA Baseball Super Regional games between the University of Oregon and Oral Roberts University are sold out,” the UO said in a statement. “In the event temporary bleachers are approved or unclaimed tickets from the visiting team become available, there may be additional tickets on sale Friday morning. Duck fans are encouraged to wear green all weekend.”

The university also announced that a PK Park Fanfest concept will take place near Autzen Stadium on Friday afternoon, starting at 2 p.m. on Friday, and 3 p.m. on Saturday. It will include food trucks, a beer garden, tents and televisions to watch the game, and a live DJ. The Duck and Oregon Cheerleaders will also make an appearance.
"For people who think Oregon is going to walk over Oral Roberts because they're from the Summit League and UO is on a 9-game winning streak against Power-5 level competition — watch out."@Jared_Mack7 joined me on the Sco-ing Long Pod to break down UO's Super Regional opponent. pic.twitter.com/HgsRvYPWQx

Fans do not need a game ticket to attend the PK Park FanFest. The games will be shown on the Autzen Stadium video board, as well as in the FanFest area.
