Recapping Day 1 of super regionals
Day 1 of the super regionals was Friday, and four of the eight series began play. Four teams are one game away from Omaha. Who came out on top?
Every home team came out on top except for the Virginia Cavaliers. The Cavaliers lost their regular-season series at home to Duke, and the Blue Devils are one game away from Omaha.
The other four super regional series will begin on Saturday: Alabama takes on Wake Forest, LSU hosts Kentucky, Stanford hosts Texas and Tennessee travels to Southern Miss.
Game 1 of the LSU vs Kentucky series is scheduled for 2 p.m. Saturday from Alex Box Stadium. Here’s a rundown of Day 1’s action.

Missed it by that much. Game 1 of the Charlottesville Super Regional went down to the wire as Duke robbed Virginia of a game-winning three-run homer in the bottom of the ninth to win the game.

The Horned Frogs’ bats stayed hot as they took game one against the Sycamores 4-1. They are one win away from Omaha.
Florida 5, South Carolina 4
Revenge is a dish best served super. The Gators were swept by South Carolina in their regular-season series, but they took Game 1 on Friday night.

Oral Robert’s 21-game winning streak comes to an end at the hands of the Oregon Ducks. It took a walk-off in the bottom of the ninth, but the Ducks are one win away from Omaha.
