The Road to Omaha has begun. You have Bowl Season in December-January, March Madness, and then postseason baseball – the trifecta of ultimate college sporting events.

Sixty-four teams started the day. By the end of the night, 16 teams were eliminated, including No. 13 Arizona, the first Regional host not to advance. Four No. 2 seeds – Alabama, Louisiana Tech, Vanderbilt, and Wake Forest – were among those teams eliminated.

The walk-offs continued. Six games concluded with a walk-off on Friday, and four more were added on Saturday—East Carolina, High Point, St. John, and Virginia. The NCAA record for walk-offs in the Regionals round is 12. Will the record be tied or broken on Sunday? Quite possibly.

High Point is playing in its first-ever tournament. On Friday, it nearly picked off No. 6 Clemson and then walked off Vanderbilt on Saturday. It's not a bad debut.

While several No. 4 seeds are still alive, kudos to the Evansville Purple Aces – the only No. 4 seed to advance to a Regional final with a 2-0 record.

In Big 12 play, Kansas State finished off its rain-delayed game from Friday with a win over Louisiana Tech. In Saturday’s second-round games, Kansas State, Oklahoma State, and West Virginia won to move to their respective Regional finals. Oklahoma, Texas, and UCF lost, and each faces elimination games on Sunday. So far, the Big 12 is 9-3, with all six teams still in contention.

Here are the results of Saturday’s second-round games:
