More on the Super Regionals

Seven of the eight Super Regionals have been decided.  Here's where it stands:

LOUISVILLE SUPER REGIONAL:
Louisville 8, Miami (Fla.) 1
Miami (Fla.) 9, Louisville 6
Louisville 3, Miami (Fla.) 2

Louisville advances to the College World Series for the sixth time overall, and the first time since 2019.  The Cardinals have never won the title.

LOS ANGELES SUPER REGIONAL:
(15) U.C.L.A. 5, Tex-San Antonio 2
(15) U.C.L.A. 7, Tex-San Antonio 0

U.C.L.A. advances to the College World Series for the seventh time overall, and for the first time since 2013, the only time the Bruins won the title.

FAYETTEVILLE SUPER REGIONAL:
(3) Arkansas 4, (14) Tennessee 3
(3) Arkansas 11, (14) Tennessee 4

Arkansas advances to the College World Series for the 12th time overall, and for the first time since 2022.  The Razorbacks finished second in 1979 and 2018 -- 2018 was a real heartbreaker -- but they have never won the title.

AUBURN SUPER REGIONAL:
(13) Coastal Carolina 7, (4) Auburn 6 (10 innings)
(13) Coastal Carolina 4, (4) Auburn 1

Another SEC Team bites the dust.  Coastal Carolina advances to the College World Series for the second time overall, and for the first time since they won it all in 2016.

CHAPEL HILL SUPER REGIONAL:
(5) N. Carolina 18, Arizona 2
Arizona 10, (5) N. Carolina 8
Arizona 4, (5) N. Carolina 3

A hugely satisfying result in Chapel Hill.  Arkansas is the only top five seed left in the tournament.  Arizona advances to the College World Series for the 19th time overall, and the first time since 2021.  The Wildcats won the title in 1976, 1980, 1986, and 2012.

BATON ROUGE SUPER REGIONAL:
(6) Louisiana St. 16, W. Virginia 9
(6) Louisiana St. 12, W. Virginia 5

L.S.U. is the only member of the Classic S.E.C. to reach this year's College World Series.  L.S.U. advances to the College World Series for the 20th time overall, and the first time since 2023.  The Tigers won the title in 1991, 1993, 1996, 1997, 2000, 2009, and 2023.

DURHAM SUPER REGIONAL:
Duke 7, Murray St. 4
Murray St. 19, Duke 9

Game Three in the Durham Super Regional is scheduled for 6 P.M. Central today.  This game will be on ESPN, and will probably be the most high-profile game any sports team at Murray State has ever played.

CORVALLIS SUPER REGIONAL:
(8) Oregon St. 5, (9) Florida St. 4 (10 innings)
(9) Florida St. 3, (8) Oregon St. 1
(8) Oregon St. 14, (9) Florida St. 10

Another satisfying result.  With UNC, Texas, and FSU all eliminated before the CWS, I can really enjoy the competition.  Oregon St. advances to the College World Series for the eighth time overall, and the first time since 2018.  The Beavers won the title in 2006, 2007, and 2018.

  1. I'm traveling tonight, so I will not be commenting on the final game of the Durham Super Regional.
