Louisville in and Murray closing in on College World Series
Only one slot remains open in the 8-team College Baseball World Series that begins this weekend in Omaha, Neb., and filling it is of great interest in this area. Murray State University blew out Duke 19-9 Sunday to set up an elimination game with the Blue Devils at 6 p.m. today on ESPN. The winner will face UCLA in Omaha. Just like UK experienced last year, this would be the first time the Racers have ever been in the World Series. Meanwhile, the University of Louisville is headed to Omaha for the sixth time under Coach Dan McDaniel following a 3-2 win over Miami Sunday in another Super Regional. The Cardinals’ first opponent is Oregon State in the double elimination tournament.
