Another Big Drop For College World Series Final

The College World Series final had another big drop in viewership Tuesday.

Game 2 of the Virginia/Vanderbilt College World Series final drew 1.3 million viewers on ESPN Tuesday night, down 26% from the same match-up last year (1.8M) but up 1% from UCLA/Mississippi State in 2013 (1.33M to 1.32M).

The Cavaliers’ series-tying win ranks as the second-least watched Game 2 of the CWS final since at least 2008, ahead of only UCLA/Mississippi State. Overall, the first two games of the series rank among the four-least watched over that span.

As was the case with Game 1, Tuesday’s viewership trailed the comparable game of the Women’s CWS final earlier in the month.
