It’s finally here: the first weekend of the college baseball tournament. Over the next four days, 64 teams in 16 cities spread across the country will play between 96 and 112 games -- at least 29 more than are played in the entire month of March Madness combined.
NCAA Baseball Tournament 2015: Bracket, schedule and scores for the regional round
Keep track with the entire first round of college baseball’s Big Dance.


That’s a lot of baseball to watch -- and yes, you can watch every single game through WatchESPN.com -- so to make things easier, we’re tracking schedules, scores and recaps here in this post. Convenient, eh?
First, a brief rundown for those wondering what the heck a regional is and how it works. It’s a four-team, double-elimination mini-tournament held at the home ballpark of the top-seeded school in the group. You start with the 1-seed vs. the 4 and the 2 vs. the 3, then play double-elimination until there’s only one team left standing. That school moves on to the second round.
Here’s a quick look at what the format for each regional looks like:
Friday
Game 1: 3 seed vs. 2 seed
Game 2: 4 seed vs. 1 seed
Saturday
Game 3: loser of Game 1 vs. loser of Game 2
Game 4: winner of Game 1 vs. winner of Game 2
Sunday
Game 5: winner of Game 3 vs. loser of Game 4
Game 6: winner of Game 4 vs. winner of Game 5
Monday
Game 7 (if necessary): winner of Game 6 vs. loser of Game 6
