NCAA Tournament game between UC Irvine, Oregon State suspended until Monday

The NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament, also known as Regionals or Regional, is a part of the NCAA baseball postseason that determines the teams advancing to the Super Regionals and eventually the College World Series. The Regionals are played in a double-elimination format, meaning that a team can lose one game without being eliminated but must win all subsequent games to advance.

The game between the University of California, Irvine Anteaters (UC Irvine) and Oregon State Beavers (Oregon State), which was scheduled for Saturday, May 28, 2022, has been suspended due to rain and will be resumed on Monday, May 30, 2022. The game is part of the Corvallis Regional, which is being held at Goss Stadium at Coleman Field in Corvallis, Oregon.

The winner of this game will face either the host team, Oregon State, or the University of San Francisco in the next round, which is a best-of-three series to determine the Regional Champion. The Regional Championship series is scheduled for June 1 and June 2, 2022, with an if-necessary third game on June 3, 2022. The winner of the Regional Championship series will earn a spot in the Super Regionals, which are scheduled for June 10-12 and June 12-14, 2022.

The Super Regionals are also a best-of-three series, and the winners of each Super Regional series will advance to the College World Series, which is scheduled for June 18-28, 2022, in Omaha, Nebraska.

UC Irvine and Oregon State have met twice in the NCAA Tournament before, both times in 2014. UC Irvine won both games that year and went on to reach the College World Series. However, they were eliminated after losing two games in the double-elimination format.

Oregon State, on the other hand, has appeared in the College World Series 14 times and has won three national championships (1945, 1946, and 1957). They are currently ranked No. 11 in the latest D1Baseball Top 25 Poll and No. 12 in the Baseball America Top 25 Poll.

UC Irvine is currently ranked No. 18 in the D1Baseball Top 25 Poll and No. 19 in the Baseball America Top 25 Poll. They have won 37 games this season and have a record of 15-11 in the Big West Conference.

The resumption of the game between UC Irvine and Oregon State on Monday will be crucial for both teams as they look to advance to the Regional Championship series and earn a spot in the Super Regionals. The winner of this game will have the advantage of playing one less game in the Regional Championship series if they win their first game. However, both teams will be eager to perform well and secure their place in the next round.

In conclusion, the NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament is a double-elimination tournament that determines the teams advancing to the Super Regionals and eventually the College World Series. The game between UC Irvane and Oregon State, which was suspended due to rain, will be resumed on Monday, May 30, 2022, and the winner will advance to the Regional Championship series. The Regional Championship series is scheduled for June 1-3, 2022, and the winner will earn a spot in the Super Regionals.
