Elimination Drama Continues
Troy’s unexpected victory over Ole Miss has trimmed the field to seven contenders, each fighting for a spot in the next round of the 2026 Men’s College World Series.
Today’s elimination showdown pits the sixth‑seeded Texas Longhorns against the seventh‑seeded Alabama Crimson Tide in a 2 p.m. ET clash that will cut the roster to six. The winner will advance to meet the loser of the Georgia‑Oklahoma game tomorrow at 8 p.m. ET.
North Carolina, sitting just one victory away from the finals, watches the proceedings with a mix of anticipation and pressure as the tournament hurtles toward its climax.
The schedule stretches through Wednesday, with the possibility of an extra game on Thursday should the bracket require it, before the championship series opens on Saturday, June 20.
If the series goes the distance, Game 1 will be streamed at 8 p.m. on ESPN, Game 2 at 2:30 p.m. on ABC on Sunday, June 21, and a potential Game 3 at 7 p.m. on Monday, June 22, again on ESPN.
Every pitch carries weight, and the remaining teams know that a single mistake could reshape the narrative of a season that has already delivered unexpected twists.
