The road to the College World Series is set for both Michigan baseball and Central Michigan baseball.
Michigan is in the Louisville regional and will open the NCAA baseball tournament on Friday against Oregon. The Cardinals, the No. 12 seed in the 64-team field, are the hosts and will take on Southeast Missouri State.
Central Michigan will open the tournament in the Gainesville regional and play the host, No. 13 seed Florida, on Friday. The other side of that regional is Liberty and Oklahoma.
Each four-team regional is a double-elimination format. Those 16 winners advance to a best-of-three series for a trip to the College World Series on the line.
