122 — Number of games played so far. Last year saw 138 total games (101 in the regionals, 20 in the Supers, and 14 in the CWS). This year’s regionals had 104 matchups, while the Supers had just 18.
0 – Number of games Oregon State has lost since April 29. The Beavers’ fourth (and most recent) loss came at home against USC in a 7-5 contest. It was sandwiched between two wins against the Trojans, but was just one week after an away loss to UCLA. In total, three of Oregon State’s four losses came in April (the first was against Ohio State on Feb. 24), but the Beavers have rattled off 21 straight wins since that last defeat. Not a bad streak to carry into Omaha.
40-4 — Record of the eight CWS teams in the tournament so far. Last year’s champion, Coastal Carolina won the crown with three losses to its name, one in each round of the tournament. Florida’s on pace to match that loss total, as the Gators were the only team to drop a game in the Regionals in Supers. Florida State lost one game in Regionals before sweeping Sam Houston State, and Cal State Fullerton went perfect in its regional, then dropped Game 1 against Long Beach State.
3 – Teams from the SEC, the most of any conference. Eight SEC teams entered the tournament's field of 64, one more than the runner-up. Kentucky, Arkansas, Vanderbilt, Mississippi State and Auburn may have lost, but Florida, LSU, and Texas A&M are still in the hunt. That runner-up, with seven teams in the tournament, was the ACC. Five of its representatives bowed out early, but Louisville and Florida State were able to punch their tickets to Omaha. No other conference has more than one team left in the College World Series.

6.48 — Average runs scored per game. That happens to be the exact same average as the field of 64 (actually, it’s 0.001 runs per game higher, but we feel confident in calling that negligible). Florida State heads the group, scoring 7.39 times each game (the Seminoles put up 19 to close out Sam Houston State in the Supers). Cal State Fullerton brings up the rear with 5.48 runs per game, but the Titans managed to score 13 in their tournament opener, and 12 in Game 2 of their Super Regional matchup. They only scored 12 or more in six of their 55 regular season games.
3.31 — Average ERA of all teams. Just a bit better than the field of 64’s 3.99 ERA entering the tournament. Oregon State’s 1.80 ERA is almost a full run better than the second best in the nation, Illinois-Chicago (which failed to make the tournament), with 2.65. Louisville sits at third in the country with a 2.85 average, and no other CWS team cracked the top 10. TCU’s 3.99 was the highest of the group, and is ranked No. 63 in the nation this season.
74.5 — Average winning percentage of all eight teams. Entering the tournament, teams in the field of 64 had won 65 percent of their games. Unsurprisingly, the eight that made it through to Omaha fared a little better this season. Oregon State leads the CWS pack, having won a staggering 93.1 percent of its games (54-4 record), while the Beavers’ first-game opponent — Cal State Fullerton — is on the other end of the spectrum with a 63.9 winning percentage (39-22 record). The Titans are one of three teams in the field of eight with 20 or more losses (Texas A&M and Florida State have 21 each).
