College baseball is down to the Sweet 16.
The Super Regionals get underway this weekend with 8 best-of-3 series. The winners advance to Omaha, Nebraska, for the College World Series, which is set to begin Saturday, June 13, from TD Ameritrade Park Omaha.
Last year’s champion Vanderbilt has made the Super Regionals and the Commodores play at No. 6 Illinois. 2014 runner-up Virginia emerged from their regional as the No. 3 seed. The Cavaliers host Maryland.
Top 10-ranked teams UCLA, the 2013 CWS champion, failed to make it out of their respective regionals. Five SEC teams – Vanderbilt, LSU, Arkansas, Florida and Texas A&M – are in the remaining field of 16.
STAT of THE DAY: This is the fourth time the #SEC has had 5 teams reach Super Regionals – no other conference has ever reached that mark.
