Iowa (after beating #1 seed Houston) was in the winners bracket in the Houston regional, leading #2 seed A&M, 2-0. Then with 2 on, A&M hit a 3 run HR and won by a 3-2 score, knocking Iowa into the losers bracket. After a long rain delay, Iowa would lose to Houston and with that second loss be eliminated from the NCAA Tournament.
A&M not only won that regional but also the Super Regional to advance to the Elite 8 of College Baseball, the College World Series in Omaha.
As you will see below, 5 of the 8 teams have never won a baseball national championship.
The 71st Men's College World Series will take place at TD Ameritrade Park Omaha in Omaha from June 17-27/28. The CWS is a double-elimination format until two teams are left, at which point those two teams play a best-of-3 series for the national championship.

Defending national champion Coastal Carolina failed to make the original field of 64, so we'll have a new champ this year. The last team to repeat as national champion was South Carolina in 2010-11. 2017 No. 1 overall seed Oregon State won back to back titles in 2006-07.
