The contests run from June 5 through June 8, setting the stage for the subsequent championship series that will unfold between June 12 and either June 21 or 22, depending on how the bracket unfolds.
Several high‑profile surprises have already emerged. The nation’s top‑ranked club, UCLA, found itself on the wrong side of an upset, while programs traditionally viewed as underdogs such as Little Rock and St. John’s have managed to progress to the later stages of the competition.

Each series promises a blend of pitching duels and offensive fireworks.
