Recapping Day 3 of super regionals
After Sunday’s action at the NCAA super regionals, only two spots remain at the College World Series in Omaha. Four more tickets were punched as Wake Forest, Virginia, LSU and Oral Roberts all earned a shot at a national title.
After a close game with Alabama in Game 1, the Demon Deacons showed why their team has been called “Rake Forest” at times. They raked in 22 runs to drown the Tide and earn the sweep.
After losing Game 1 to Duke, Virginia won Games 2 and 3 by 10 runs each as they advance to Omaha.
LSU makes its return visit to Omaha after a stellar performance against Kentucky this weekend, and Oral Roberts is headed to the College World Series as the third No. 4 seed to ever make it.
Tennessee and Stanford both forced a winner-take-all Game 3 that will be played Monday night.
