The Official UNC @ #1 Tennessee CWS Game 2 Thread (Sun. June 16) (7PM EST) (ESPN2)

I’m pretty sure had Virginia won we would have been the visiting team but with both home teams winning I think the higher seed gets to be the home team , I think that’s what they said last night
 

HOME TEAM

The highest-seeded teams advancing from super-regional tournaments shall be the home teams for the first-round contests. In the event of a match-up between equally seeded teams, a coin flip will determine the home team. One team will be designated as “heads”, the other team will be designated as “tails” and the coin will be flipped by the NCAA representative. Heads and tails designation will be determined by alphabetical order of the name of the institution (i.e., first alphabetically being heads, second alphabetically being tails).In subsequent games, the home team shall be determined according to the following formula:
1. The institution that has been the home team the fewer number of times shall be designated the home team.
2. If the two teams are equal in this respect but unequal in the number of times they were the visitor, then the team that has been the visitor more often will be designated the home team.
3. If the two teams are equal in the number of times that they have been home and visitor, the games committee or the NCAA site representative(s) shall observe the following procedures in the order stated:
a. If the two teams have met previously in that particular tournament, the visitor in the previous game shall be the home team in the game in question.
b. The team that was visitor in its preceding game shall be the home team, unless both teams were visitors in their preceding games.
c. If the two teams are different seeds, the better seeded team will be designated as the home team.
d. If the above procedures do not resolve the matter, the home team shall be determined by coin toss. The coin toss will be held on the field immediately after the game that caused the situation to develop and both coaches are requested to be in attendance. The higher seeded team can determine whether it will call the coin toss, or defer the call to its opponent. In the event of a match-up between equally seeded teams, one team will be designated as “heads”, the other team will be designated as “tails” and the coin will be flipped by the NCAA representative. Heads and tails designation will be determined by alphabetical order of the name of the institution (i.e., first alphabetically being heads, second alphabetically being tails).

The Division I Baseball Committee has determined that for the MCWS Finals (championship series), the better seeded team will be the home team in MCWS Finals Games 1 and 3 (if necessary). The lesser seeded team will be the home team in MCWS Finals Game

2. If both teams advancing to the MCWS Finals are equally seeded (e.g., both were number two regional seeds), then a coin flip will determine the home team for MCWS Finals Game 1, with the loser of the coin flip being the home team in MCWS Finals Game 2. An additional coin flip will take place to determine the home team for MCWS Finals Game 3 (if necessary).Please note that for any required coin flip, the higher seeded team can determine whether it will call the coin flip, or defer the call to its opponent. In the event of a match-up between equally seeded teams, one team will be designated as “heads”, the other team will be designated as “tails” and the coin will be flipped by the NCAA representative. Heads and tails designation will be determined by alphabetical order of the name of the institution (i.e., first alphabetically being heads, second alphabetically being tails).

Not sure if this is the right thread for this comment, but that “ump cam” is annoying. Is it a thing for all the series?
I like it every once in a while and it can be really good for seeing plays at the plate, etc., but I accidentally started it on ESPN+ and it took me about four batters to realize I was on the ump cam channel. It was awful.

So if I am reading that right, they do NOT look at national rankings at all. #1 TN and #4 NC were both 1 seeds in the regionals and both were super hosts. Looks like they do not care about national rankings? Is that correct?

"The highest-seeded teams advancing from super-regional tournaments shall be the home teams for the first-round contests. "

Key phrase here is for first round contest after those they follow their formula

I think Causey will want more innings because he had a tough go. He threw 45 pitches so with a day off maybe he can go another 20-30 pitches.

Combs is a big maybe. He had 59

Kirby can go again. Benkhe only had 8 pitches. Loy hasn’t pitched yet.

Hopefully Beam can get thru 5 or 6 Sunday.

While we are cheering on this team and hoping for a win tomorrow, we are still a man down. So I hope that Mr. Russell's surgery went well and I hope his pain is minimal. Get well you man I imagine you have a long recovery ahead of you and we wish you the best! We look forward to seeing you on the mound when you are recovered!
 
With all this X hate from everyone about the Umps handing us the game off one swing, we have GOT to win this game tomorrow to shut everyone up... We win, like we should, and it will be old news.

I think our boys are feeding off this and will come out fighting just like CMO told the dugout while at his last bat...
 
I watch on my Hulu live TV and I have to figure out which game is the ump, espanol and regular English broadcast. It’s annoying.

Just use the guide and scroll to ESPN. That’s the normal broadcast. The ‘live now’ section on home part of Hulu gives you the various options for alternate broadcast info. That will prevent confusion for you.

Wow! That's not complicated at all!
