By Jack Crosby
Division I Men’s College Baseball probably doesn’t get the notoriety that it deserves during the regular season. Some games are televised, however mostly you have to catch them via an online streaming service or a local TV station.

However, for a few weeks out of the year, all of the attention turns to their annual tournament to crown a national champion, a tournament that concludes with eight of the best teams battling it out for that national title in Omaha, Nebraska and the College World Series.
This year’s tournament has been yet another exciting one filled with some dominant pitching performances, as well as some upsets. Some of the top teams in the bracket were bounced early on in the Regional round, which makes it all that much more exciting.
The Super Regional round just concluded this past Monday, and now we are set for the eight teams to fight it out in a double-elimination format. Once the final two teams are determined, though, it changes to a best-of-three series for all the marbles.
So, when do the festivities get underway this weekend in Omaha? Here’s a look at the complete schedule, beginning this Saturday, June 14.
