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.
OMAHA — Oregon State’s pursuit of its fourth-ever national title is set to begin.
The No. 8 Beavers (47-14-1) will face off with Louisville (40-22) to kick off College World Series play at Charles Schwab Field on June 13. First pitch is slated for 4 p.m. PT (ESPN).
Mitch Canham’s OSU squad reached this point by making an unlikely run through the losers’ bracket of the NCAA Corvallis Regional. After dropping their opening postseason game to TCU, the Beavers uncorked four wins in three days to secure a spot in the Corvallis Super Regional. There, the Beavers took down No. 9 Florida State in a decisive Game 3 on June 8.

Louisville, meanwhile, won three straight games at the Nashville Regional, then beat Miami 3-2 in the third game of the Lexington Super Regional to earn the sixth College World Series appearance in program history.

Whitney has struck out 111 batters in 71 ⅓ innings.
Louisville will counter with right-hander Patrick Forbes. In his first season as a full-time starter, the standout junior holds a 4-2 record and 4.36 ERA with 107 strikeouts in 66 innings.
