JUNE 1 (Sporting Alert) — NCAA Division I Baseball Regional scores and Super Regional qualifiers from Sunday’s (May 31) games around the country.
Louisville, Arkansas, Cal State Fullerton, Florida, Virginia and Missouri State all booked their place in the Super Regional round, which gets underway later this week.
Top seed Louisville rallied from a slowish start to rout Michigan 13-4 in the NCAA baseball regionals on Sunday and advanced to the Super Regional round of the NCAA Tournament.
The Cardinals gave up the first two runs of the contest at Jim Patterson Stadium, but dominated afterwards on their way to securing their third-successive regional title, while ending the Wolverines’ NCAA tournament run.
“Congratulations to Louisville,” Michigan head coach Erik Bakich said. “They work extremely hard. No team, no coaching staff is more deserving.
“At the same time, I’m extremely proud of our team, proud of the strides our program has made. We’ll be back, and we’ll be better.”
Earlier in the afternoon, Michigan slipped past Bradley 4-3 in the elimination game to set up the championship game battle, but were no match for the No. 3 ranked team in the country.
“I’m not surprised that they are a three seed at all,” Bakich said. “You do not go 25-5 in the ACC and set the ACC record for wins in the regular season unless you are an elite team.”
Another team heading into the Super Regional round with a narrow 4-3 victory was Arkansas.
The No. 2 seeded Razorbacks (38-22) got the better of the fourth-seed St. John’s (41-16) to dominate the Stillwater Regional.
Victory on Sunday saw Arkansas sweeping their regional for the fourth time in eight years, while the club was advancing also to its fourth Super Regional in the last seven years.
Also heading to the Super Regional round of the NCAA tournament is Missouri State, following a 3-2 victory over Iowa at Hammons Field to complete a sweep of the Springfield Regional.
The Bears (48-10) were clinching its second NCAA regional title in school history, in addition to improving the club’s record of wins for a season to 48.
