I don't follow baseball, so maybe it happens more then other sports, but it's kind of interesting that none of the 2025 qualifiers are in it this year. It's a whole new field so to speak.
***2026 NCAA Baseball Tournament***
- Thread starter theshadow
- Start date
This is just the 5th time that there are no repeaters from the previous year's CWS, but two of those occasions are the last two years.

Out of 24 slots in the last three years, there have been 23 schools represented. Only UNC made it twice.

Oklahoma beats Alabama 9-0. Saw interview of Sooner catcher, he was funny. He hits big 2 run homer. He says he feels great, nothing wrong, ready 100% for the next game. He must have twisted his ancle bad, he hobbled around the bases like Kirk Gibson in the World Series. But I am fine, 100%. Haha
Will be interesting to see if those UGA bats keep that up once they are away from their launching pad ballpark. They very well may do so.
They're catching a break tonight. Wind blowing out to RF/CF, possible gusts to 26 in the first few innings.
