Tennessee is two wins away from another trip to Omaha.
The Super Regional round of the NCAA Baseball Tournament has arrived. Tennessee and Evansville will square off this afternoon in Knoxville, kicking off a best-of-3 series. The winner of the series will advance to Omaha to play in the eight-team College World Series.
Evansville shocked everyone, coming out of the Greenville Region as the No. 4 seed. They took down No. 16 national seed East Carolina twice, clinching their trip to the supers in a winner-take-all matchup on Monday. The Purple Aces are just the ninth ever No. 4 seed to advance to the supers.
Tennessee rolled through the Knoxville Regional without much of a sweat. Northern Kentucky, Indiana and Southern Miss all went down without drama as the No. 1 national seed rolled on to the next round.
Tennessee is in their fourth straight Super Regional round. They’ll be looking to make their third appearance in the College World Series in the past four years.
