Initial matchup vs Miami of Ohio 

Fresh off a MAC tournament championship, the RedHawks are (35-21) on the season and finished with a (23-7) conference record on the year. The RedHawks played just three Power4 opponents on the season. They lost a Tuesday matchup against Ohio State in March by a score of 14 to 7. They were then beaten by Kentucky 4 to 3 in April. They also were at the losing end of a 12 to 3 loss at the hands of potential regional opponent Cincinnati. They are a hot baseball team, however, having one nine out of their last ten.

The Bearcats are (32-24) on the season, finishing with a (16-14) record in conference. The Bearcats are a top-20 team in stolen bases on the season, and at an all-turf facility like Lindsey-Nelson, they could be a really fast baseball team in Knoxville. They have been an up-and-down baseball team for the majority of the year.

The Demon Deacons were (36-20) on the year, including a (16-14) record in the ACC. Though they were a .500 baseball team on the road this season.
