How to Watch: Louisville Cardinals vs. Oregon State Beavers

LOUISVILLE, Ky - After officially punching their ticket to the College World Series for the first time since 2019, the Louisville baseball program's run in Omaha will get started against a CWS regular, taking on Oregon State in their opener.
Despite losing seven of their last 10 heading into the NCAA Tournament, the Cardinals have been on fire this postseason. They went a perfect 3-0 in the Nashville Regional, knocking off No. 1 overall seed Vanderbilt in the process, then took down Miami in the Louisville Super Regional in three games.
As for the Beavers, who chose to go independent for the 2025 season following the poaching of the Pac-12, they have had a supremely successful season - albeit an up-and-down postseason. Capturing the No. 8 national seed, OSU had to win four-in-a row after dropping their first game in the Corvallis Regional, then defeated No. 9 Florida State in three games in the Corvallis Super Regional.
This will be just the second all-time meeting between Louisville and Oregon State. Their first matchup took place in the 2013 College World Series, with the Beavers claiming an 11-4 win in the 0-1 elimination game over the Cardinals.
