Moving on...

Missouri and Louisiana-Lafayette both punched their tickets to championship games in their respective regionals.

Missouri came back from a 4-0 deficit and held off a Louisville rally in the bottom of the ninth to win 7-5. The Tigers get a little rest, and Louisville will play Miami tomorrow afternoon.

Louisiana made a little comeback of their own, taking the lead with three runs in the 7th, then holding off a Texas A&M rally in the ninth to claim a 5-4 win in College Station. A&M, the #1 seed, will play Ohio St. tomorrow, with the winner advancing to play to #2 seeded Cajuns tomorrow night.

Arizona just punched their ticket as well. The #2 seeded Wildcats were locked in a tight one with the #4 seed Privateers, but two runs in the 8th gave them a 9-8 lead, and that was the final margin. UNO gets a rematch with Wichita St., who they beat yesterday, and Arizona is only one win away from their first super since 2004.
