OMAHA, NE. — Murray State baseball is making its Men’s College World Series debut today against UCLA.
The Racers’ fourth NCAA Tournament has been a historic one. Murray State is one of two Group of Five schools (along with Coastal Carolina) in Omaha, a city dominated by the SEC and ACC as of late. Sixty-nine of the 120 MCWS spots over the last 15 years have gone to those conferences.
Meanwhile, Murray State makes 20 MCWS appearances for the Missouri Valley Conference. It’s the league’s first since Missouri State in 2003. The Racers are also the fourth No. 4 regional seed to make it this far since 1999.
The winner of Murray State-UCLA will play the winner of Arkansas-LSU at 7 p.m. ET Monday.
