About the Men’s College World Series
The NCAA Baseball Tournament started with 64 teams and now only eight remain. No. 2 Stanford, No. 5 Texas A&M, No. 9 Texas, No. 14 Auburn, Arkansas, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, and Ole Miss have all arrived in Omaha, Neb. in hopes of raising the national championship trophy in a week and a half, and you can catch every pitch of the Men’s College World Series on ESPN and ESPN2.
There could be as many as 14 games through the set of double-elimination series before two teams advance to the best-of-three championship series starting on Saturday, June 25.
Oklahoma, Stanford, and Texas are the only three teams remaining that have already won a baseball national title, although none has done so in 15 years. However, by returning to the MCWS, the Longhorns have extended their record of having the most appearances in Omaha with their 38th trip.
The worldwide leader in sports will deploy two broadcast teams to Omaha with the “Sunday Night Baseball” pairing of Karl Ravech and Eduardo Pérez leading the way. The two MCWS vets will be joined by Ben McDonald and reporter Dani Wexelman. The second team will feature Mike Monaco, Chris Burke, Kyle Peterson, and Kris Budden.
In addition to the games on ESPN and ESPN2, the family of networks will also have coverage on ESPN.com, the SEC Network, and the ACC Network
