The 2017 NCAA baseball tournament starts tomorrow with the majority of games getting underway Friday. The Beavers are hosting The Corvallis Regional, as the 64 team tournament gets whittled down. The Beavers are hoping to make it back to the College World Series, in Omaha, for the first time since 2013.
The Beavers find themselves in a favorable spot as the top-overall seed, opening up postseason play against Holy Cross (23-27). The Corvallis Regional also features Nebraska and Yale.
One thing is for sure, being the favorite isn’t easy. The last time the #1 overall seed won the College World Series was back in 1999 when Miami accomplished the feat.
