Little Rock baseball team celebrates with bus driver on the field after upset win to advance to Super Regional

It is a great season in sports

Chaos would be the most accurate word to describe regional play in the 2026 NCAA Baseball Tournament, with upsets galore taking place around the country. If there were one regional, however, that you had to circle as the most chaotic, you may not have to look past Hattiesburg, Miss., where Little Rock pushed through the bracket.

Southern Miss, the host in Hattiesburg and No. 9 seed overall, was eliminated right out of the gate, losing to Little Rock, the No. 4 seed in the regional, in its opening game. The hosts then fell to Virginia to drop out of the tournament before the two-seed Cavaliers lost to the three-seed Jacksonville State, setting up the rare matchup between the bottom two seeds for a spot in the Super Regional.
