Tennessee was eliminated from the NCAA baseball tournament on the same day that Mississippi, the final team chosen, was named to the College World Series. The greatest surprises in a tournament that went almost according to plan in the regional stage came on Sunday. The absence of drama has been compensated for by the super regionals. No one expected such a result because Tennessee was the No. 1 national seed. This time, it appears that the underdog has triumphed.
Notre Dame advanced to the CWS after defeating Tennessee 7-3 in the third game of their super regional, joining Ole Miss, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas, and Texas A&M. The remaining two CWS places will be decided in Game 3s on Monday, when Connecticut takes on No. 2 Stanford and Auburn takes on No. 3 Oregon State. The CWS kicks off in Omaha, Nebraska on Friday. Tennessee is the third national seed to be eliminated in the super regionals in a row. Because of the epidemic, there was no tournament in 2020.
