For the first time in College Baseball World Series history, the tournament's No. 1 overall seed will not be playing for a regional final.
The Vanderbilt Commodores entered the 64-team field as the top seed, and were widely projected to contend for a national title. They came out flat during the regionals, suffering a 3–2 defeat to No. 2 Louisville on Saturday before again coming up short against No. 4 Wright State on Sunday, 5–4.
