Here is a look at how the Anteaters were able to navigate their way through the field to reach Omaha.

"The Anteaters flew under the radar in the first half, losing nonconference series to Fresno State, Nebraska and San Diego State. They won their first five Big West series, capped by a sweep of UC Santa Barbara that propelled them into the Top 25, but then they lost their final eight conference games against powers Cal Poly, Cal State Fullerton and Long Beach State, squeaking into the NCAA tournament as one of the final four teams in the field. The Anteaters traversed the most rigorous road to Omaha of any CWS team, winning a regional hosted by No. 1 national seed Oregon State, then sweeping a super regional against Big 12 regular-season champion Oklahoma State to reach Omaha for the first time since 2007."

Now, for the Texas Longhorns.

"After missing regionals in back-to-back seasons, the Longhorns bounced back strong in 2014, getting off to a 29-8 start that boosted them to No. 6 in the BA Top 25 on April 14. They lost their next three series to fall to No. 25, but they never dropped out of the rankings, and they beat rivals Rice and Texas A&M to win the Houston Regional as a No. 2 seed. Then the ‘Horns allowed just two runs total in a two-game sweep of Houston in the Austin Super Regional, propelling them to Omaha for the first time since 2011."
