Friday Recap, Saturday Preview



Top seeds went undefeated in the first day of regional action—a reversal from last year, when four top seeds fell to No. 4 seeds on the first day. In all, nine lower seeds won on Friday last year, compared to seven this year (all No. 3 seeds). In case you’re wondering, the only No. 3 or No. 4 to win a regional last year was Fresno State, and we know how that ended. We blogged a number of notable tidbits Friday, but here’s a quick recap of Friday’s scores, as well as a look ahead to Saturday’s schedule (all times Eastern).

It seems to me that Texas’ pitchers will have very little room for error this postseason. It’s pretty phenomenal that they were able to be top seeded with such little hitting. I think they make it to Omaha because of home field advantage but not to the “final four”.
