NCAA baseball tournament 2026: Tracking the Super Regional teams
Regional action in the 2026 NCAA baseball tournament is winding down, and by the time action on Sunday draws to a close, we could have most of the 16 spots in the Super Regionals locked in.
At least one regional will extend into Monday, due to the weather. Delays and postponements in the Tallahassee regional have pushed Game 6 of that bracket to Monday, and depending on how that game unfolds a double-header may be necessary to determine what team advances out of that bracket.
Whether we see more games on Monday depends on what happens on Sunday night in the various regional finals. Remember, the regionals are a double-elimination format.
Here, we’ll be tracking each team that advances to the Super Regionals.
North Carolina
UNC became the first team to secure a spot in the Super Regionals, thanks to a 9-3 win over East Carolina at Boshamer Stadium, advancing in front of their hometown fans.
The Tar Heels were the No. 5 overall seed in the NCAA baseball tournament, and rolled through the Chapel Hill regional for their first regional sweep since 2019. UNC scored eight runs in the first three innings against the Pirates, loading the baes in each of those innings.
UNC won their first game on Friday 8-0 against VCU, and then won a pair of games against East Carolina to move on to the Super Regionals. The Tar Heels will host the winner of the College Station regional, either Texas A&M or Southern California, in the best-of-three Super Regionals starting on Friday, June 5.
Georgia
The Bulldogs booked a spot of their own in the Super Regionals, with a 6-1 win over Liberty.
However, it came at a bit of a price.
Third baseman Tre Phelps blasted a two-run home run in the sixth inning, giving the Bulldogs their first lead of the game against the Flames. But Phelps, and then coach Wes Johnson, were tossed from the contest after the umpires ruled that Phelps taunted the Liberty dugout after the home run.
You can see it all unfold here:
Phelps will be in line to miss Game 1 of next weekend’s Super Regional series. The Bulldogs will host either Mississippi State or Louisiana in that series.
Georgia began the NCAA tournament as the No. 3 overall seed.
