Day 2 of the NCAA Tournament > Day 1 every single year.
Now it’s win or go home.
Regional hosts fighting to stay alive, mid-majors one win from history, and the elimination games start stacking up.
Since 1999, a top 4 national seed had only lost their regional opener 6 times entering today.
It happened TWICE today.
• No. 4 Auburn lost to Milwaukee
• No. 1 UCLA lost to Saint Mary’s
THE #1 OVERALL SEED IS OUT IN GAME 1 😳
Saint Mary’s shocks UCLA 3-2 in the Los Angeles Regional opener.
The No. 1 overall national seed has lost in regionals before, but it remains one of the rarest upsets in college baseball. UCLA now finds itself in the losers bracket
BRANDON LAWSON WALKED IT OFF 😭🐊
Florida survives Rider 8-7 in a crazy Regional opener after Lawson sent one out to lead off the bottom of the 9th.
Gators blew the early lead, fought back, and found a way when it mattered most. Survive and advance.
Potential upsets already starting in the NCAA Regionals 👀
Milwaukee is currently up 11-3 on Auburn and USC Upstate leads Oklahoma State 4-0 early. This tournament is always insane.
NCAA Regionals start today ⚾️
From 12 PM to basically 9 PM nonstop college baseball. One of the best weekends of the entire sports year.
