The Arizona Wildcats and Louisville Cardinals meet up in Omaha on Sunday with their NCAA Men’s College World Series hopes on the line in the first elimination game of the tournament. Both teams had high hopes coming into the Men’s College World Series, but found themselves on the losing end of a couple of tough battles.

OMAHA, Neb. — The Oregon State Beavers and Coastal Carolina Chanticleers play a winners’ bracket game Sunday in the Men’s College World Series at Charles Schwab Field. The game is airing live on ESPN2. Check back after the first pitch, scheduled for 4 p.m. PT., for live updates from the game.

The Chanticleers have enjoyed a charmed spell as of late, vanquishing 24 straight foes en route to a second appearance in the College World Series.
