Someone’s national championship dreams will end in Omaha on Sunday.
Louisville and Arizona both entered the College World Series hoping to take their momentum and ride it all the way to a title, but the harsh reality of the tournament puts both of their seasons on the line after Friday losses.
Louisville’s last-gasp effort against Oregon State fell just short on Friday, with the Cardinals struggling against Beavers starter Dax Whitney but tying the game with a ninth-inning rally. Oregon State walked it off in the bottom of the ninth, however, sending Louisville to an elimination game.
Arizona, meanwhile, couldn’t snap Coastal Carolina’s win streak, with the Chanticleers’ three-run rally in the eighth inning breaking a 4-4 stalemate and powering the Sun Belt champions to a win.
Louisville will look to get its offense going earlier against the Wildcats, while Arizona will have to find a way to efficiently get outs after allowing 14 hits in Friday’s loss. The loser of Sunday’s game will be eliminated, while the winner will again face elimination against the loser of Sunday night’s matchup between Coastal Carolina and Oregon State.
