COLLEGE WORLD SERIES BEGINS THIS WEEKEND

Eight baseball teams are converging on Omaha’s Rosenblatt Stadium this week for the annual College World Series. Action was slated to begin Saturday with a doubleheader as 47-14 Cal State-Fullerton took on 39-22 Arkansas in the opener, while 51-16 LSU dueled with 48-13-1 Virginia. On Sunday, 49-12 Arizona State was to meet 47-16 North Carolina, followed by 46-14-1 Texas going up against 40-24 Southern Mississippi. The teams will play in two double-elimination pools, with the winners meeting next week in a best-of-3 championship series.


Texas is the top seed heading into the first round, followed by Cal-State Fullerton, LSU and North Carolina. The Longhorns are making their 33rd appearance in Omaha and are looking for the school’s seventh national title since winning the first CWS in 1949.
