The NCAA Baseball Tournament began today with 16 different double-elimination tournaments. Here are the scores we have so far (numbers represent a team's overall seed):
E. Carolina 11, Florida 6
(5) N. Carolina 4, Holy Cross 0
Remember that today, every team is playing its first game. So no one will be eliminated until tomorrow.
In Nashville, Louisville leads E. Tennessee St. 8-2 in the bottom of the 7th. This weekend's battle between Louisville and Vanderbilt will be extraordinary. These two play each other every year, and U of L always gives Vandy fits. In fact, U of L beat Vandy a few weeks ago. In 2019, Vandy had to beat Louisville twice -- 3-1 and 3-2 -- at the College World Series to win the National title. They were two of the most nerve-wracking baseball games I've ever seen. If Vandy can survive Louisville, they will be dangerous the rest of the way.
In Clemson, Kentucky leads W. Virginia 3-0 in the bottom of the 5th.
In Oxford, Georgia Tech leads W. Kentucky 3-0 in the bottom of the 1st.
Western and Murray State both made the NCAA Baseball Tournament, along with Vandy, UK, and U of L. I wanted to see Western and Murray in Nashville, but they were both sent to Ole Miss.
