The College World Series is live from ESPN and ESPN2 on Wednesday in Omaha and the early game has Texas Tech and Mississippi in an elimination game starting at 3 pm ET for the NCAA baseball tournament and things are streaming live from TD Ameritrade Park on the WatchESPN website before TCU and Virginia at 8 pm ET in a double-elimination game and that comes after Texas knocked out Louisville and Vanderbilt beat UC Irvine.
The first game on Tuesday has Texas Tech and Mississippi matching up and that is an elimination game and that will be huge for both sides as they try and move along. Texas Tech and Mississippi are fairly matched and this game should be a good one in the pitching matchup and neither side wants to get beat today as they try and win the College World Series.
Texas won over Louisville and they came in determined to win and the victory put them through and also finally snapped a four game losing streak in the College World Series and that was big for a team that has done historically well in Omaha. The team has been there 35 times and now they are set to play UC Irvine in what will be another elimination game on Wednesday and that will be a big matchup.
The tournament this year has had some surprising play and upsets from many teams and top seeds like Oregon State are out of things after losing. The Beavers had a regional at Corvallis and couldn't get it done and now the Anteaters have a chance to get things going and keep moving along. The Cardinals played well up to his point, but they have not been able to get things done in the College World Series, as they went 0-2 in two straight years and they are just 1-6 over the last three and this comes after the team won 50 games this year. The Longhorns had not won since back in 2009 and they have another big game coming up and they will have to find a way to beat back UC Irvine, who lost to Vanderbilt.
The bracket for the NCAA baseball tournament is getting towards the end and now it has UC Irvine and Texas matching up, while TCU and Virginia are the late game on Tuesday. The winners of that game and the TT-Miss game will play in the next set and then Vanderbilt will play against either UC Irvine or Texas, while the winner for the TCU and VI game will play the winner of the other matchups. The bracket is coming right down to the end and the best of three championship series is coming up from Omaha. The College World Series is always an exciting event and the finals are coming up soon as the tournament gets closer to finishing up and Texas has now put themselves in very good position and they could be the dark horse as they try and win over UC Irvine to get into the matchup with one seeded Vandy.
