Which NCAA baseball teams could blow up the bracket
The Montgomery Advertiser’s Adam Cole and The Southwest Times Record’s Jackson Fuller break down who could wreck the tournament bracket.
Each team still alive in the NCAA tournament is 0-0 on Friday, with Coastal Carolina and Arizona kicking off the action at the College World Series.
The No. 13 Chanticleers are undefeated in postseason play, going 4-0 to win the Sun Belt tournament before finishing 3-0 in their own regional and 2-0 against No. 4 Auburn in super regionals. CCU will likely turn to ace Jacob Morrison, who holds a 11-0 record with a 2.15 ERA this season.
The Wildcats, meanwhile, had one of the best performances of the super regional round, as they fell in Game 1 of the Chapel Hill Super Regional to No. 5 North Carolina before rattling off back-to-back wins to reach Omaha, Nebraska. Arizona is 5-1 since falling to TCU in the Big 12 tournament championship in late May.
Coastal Carolina-Arizona should be quite the matchup as the opening-round game of the CWS.
