The first two teams have been eliminated from the 2008 NCAA tournament. In Coral Gables, Mississippi scored 10 runs in the sixth to break open a 3-1 game against Bethune-Cookman. The Rebels cruised to a 14-1 victory. Freshman lefty Drew Pomeranz threw just 4 1/3 innings, raising the possibility he could be available Monday if Ole Miss gets that far. But Cody Satterwhite and Nathan Baker will be the next two starters in line for Ole Miss.

In Cary, third-seeded Elon eliminated fourth-seeded Mount St. Mary’s 6-3. The Phoenix will face the loser of this afternoon’s North Carolina-UNC Wilmington game.

Here in Raleigh, third-seeded Charlotte has begun to pull away from James Madison. The 49ers got four runs in the fourth and have broken it open here in the fifth, scoring four more runs–and counting. Right now it’s 9-2 Charlotte. This is a very, very good offensive team.
