The NCAA Baseball Tournament 2014 is back live on ESPN with a live stream and TV coverage from WatchESPN on the schedule for the final four round of the tournament and championships will be decided soon as things pare down and teams like Mississippi, Texas and Ole Miss and Vanderbilt are all in action on Friday night in Omaha.
Oregon State comes in as one of the favorites and they needed to win to keep elimination off the table and now they will play against UC Irvine in a huge game and they come in 3-1, while UC is 2-1 and they will need their offense to return to have any chance at winning, as the pitching has already been spot on for most of the weekend. The earlier games on Monday saw Alabama fall to Kennesaw State, while Long Beach State won over North Carolina in an offensive performance, while the University of Miami won one of the most exciting games of the tourney, beating Texas Tech with a score of 2-1 and now the games continue on Monday night for teams. Oregon State comes into their game on Monday night
Oregon State came in as the top seed in the tournament and they are looking strong with their pitching staff and they have one of the deepest rosters in the tournament, with the pitching staff very skilled with three top of the line guys in Andrew Moore, Jace Fry and Ben Wetzler and on top of that, the team has one of the best hitters in the nation with Michael Conforto and all those players are reasons why the team has a chance to make it as the champions in the College World Series.
The team had the regional in Corvallis and matched up with North Dakota State and they were named the top seed among the 64 in the tournament. Oregon State started things off against North Dakota State and they needed everything they had, as they won 2-1 in the game in Corvallis and that go ahead run did not come until late in the game and they had issues hitting with runners in scoring position and they came into the game on Sunday against UC Irvine with elimination possible before getting the win. The team got some great pitching from Wetzler and Scott Schultz and now the two play on Monday night for the regional and that game will be huge.
Oregon State has the chance to make a run and they got to play in front of their home crowd and they have gotten some great pitching from their deep rotation, including from Wetzler, who had a complete game and a shutout against UNLV on Sunday and that came before a 14-0 loss against UC Irvine on Saturday night and now the team will try and bounce back. Florida is one of the strongest teams in the tournament and they won the SEC this season and that is the conference with the most teams in the tournament.
