This year's NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament began with 64 teams, and now the field was whittled down to eight at the College World Series. The final eight teams are meeting in Omaha for the 2021 Men's College World Series. Thanks to COVID-19, the Men's College World Series wasn't held last year, which means Vanderbilt, winner of the 2019 tournament, will be in Omaha as the defending champions.
As dominating absences go, Arkansas, the overall No. 1 seed in the tournament and the consensus best team in the country during the regular season, won't be there -- NC State upset them in the Fayetteville super regional.
The College World Series is a double-elimination format until the final two teams are left standing. At that point, the slates are wiped clean, and it's a best-of-three series to determine the national champion. Action kicked off on Saturday, June 19. Check out the 2021 College World Series schedule and scores below.
