MCWS Game Nine - TCU vs. Oral Roberts

The rematch. These two squads met on Friday, and the Golden Eagles stunned TCU, scoring four runs in the ninth inning to take a one-run lead. The Horned Frogs undoubtedly feel like they let that game slip through their fingers and are excited to get a second chance against the feisty Oral Roberts.

Cam Brown is expected to start on the mound for TCU, while the Golden Eagles will send Brooks Fowler to the mound, easily their best pitcher. Brown's season thus far has been far from great, as the right-handed junior is 3-2 in 11 starts and has an ERA of 5.5. His last start came in the Regionals against Arkansas, where he only lasted 4.1 innings and gave up four runs. Fowler, on the other hand, has enjoyed a much better season. The sophomore is 9-1 in 16 starts with an ERA of 3.27. Cam Brown's job will be to put together enough strong innings to keep up with Fowler and to save the Horned Frog bullpen for later in the game.

This game will begin at 1 pm CT and will air on ESPN.

MCWS Game Ten - LSU vs. Tennessee

The Tigers beat the Volunteers 6-3 in Saturday's game between these teams, and they went 2-1 against them in the regular season. Tennessee, though, is coming off of a really nice win against Stanford yesterday. After falling behind 4-0, the Volunteers, led by the relief effort of Chase Burns, scored six unanswered runs to stun the Cardinal. Burns pitched six shutout innings to close the game and retired the final ten batters that he saw. It is expected that sophomore Drew Beam will start on the mound today for Tennessee; Beam is 9-4 in 16 starts. His last start came in the Supers against Southern Miss, where he went for six innings, allowing seven hits but no runs and striking out seven. In his last three starts combined, he's allowed three runs.

LSU is coming off of a heartbreaking loss to Wake Forest. The Tigers led for a chunk of the game but would ultimately fall behind in the eighth inning, losing 3-2. It is not confirmed who will start on the mound for LSU, but it is 100% certain that the Tiger bats will have to show up. Projected top-two pick Dylan Crews went 0-3 against the Demon Deacons with one walk and two strikeouts. The leadoff man had two solid showings in the Super Regionals but is yet to make any noise in Omaha.

This game will start at 6 pm CT and will air on ESPN.
