It was the first time all season that the Deacs lost back-to-back games. The Demon Deacons started 2-0 in Omaha despite not leading before the eighth inning in either game against Stanford or LSU, but a pair of tough losses to the Tigers ultimately knocked them out of the tournament in the bracket final. Wake dominated its competition in the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament and advanced to the CWS with a plus-59 run differential. Florida made its first trip to Omaha since 2018 and fell one win shy of the program’s second national championship. They then swept South Carolina in super regionals and swept their CWS bracket before falling to the Tigers. The Gators put together an impressive NCAA Tournament run, overcoming an early loss in regionals to Texas Tech to come through the loser’s bracket and win the Gainesville Regional. The Tigers secured the championship with an 18-4 rout in the winner-takes-all game 3.įlorida finished as the national runner-up, falling to LSU in three games in the CWS championship series. LSU ran off three straight wins, including twice beating Wake, to advance to the finals.
