Kentucky will face NC State: How to watch the Wildcats in the College World Series
Mark your calendars! We now know when the Kentucky Wildcats will play their first-ever game in Omaha, Nebraska, at the College World Series, which will feature four ACC teams and four SEC teams.
Kentucky will take on NC State on Saturday at 2 pm ET. The game will be televised on ESPN.
The College World Series, just like the Regionals and Super Regionals, is a double-elimination bracket. If Kentucky wins Saturday, they will take on the winner of Florida and Texas A&M Monday night at 7 pm ET on ESPN.
If Kentucky loses Saturday, they will take on the loser of Florida – Texas A&M at 3 pm ET on ESPN on Monday afternoon.
If the Wildcats win their first two games, they’ll play again Wednesday on ESPN at 7 pm ET. A loss in either of their first two games means they’d have to play Tuesday (7 pm on ESPN) to advance to Wednesday.
If necessary, there will be a winner-take-all game on Thursday, though the time and TV info are TBD on that one.
The College World Series consists of two four-team double-elimination brackets. The winners of those brackets will meet in the College World Series Finals, which is a best-of-three series.
Kentucky, NC State, Florida, and Texas A&M are in Bracket 2, while North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, and Florida State are in Bracket 1.

Ohio tornado warnings: what residents should know
Severe storms June 17 in Ohio: know tornado watch vs. warning, safety steps, shelters and alerts.
A tornado was confirmed to have ripped through the Florence area during the overnight storms June 18.
The National Weather Service in Wilmington released a statement June 20 saying a tornado traveled eastward 6.2 miles across the Northern Kentucky city, 10 miles south of Cincinnati. It had estimated peak winds of 100 mph, which classifies it as an EF1 “moderate” tornado on the Enhanced Fujita Scale.
The tornado’s path goes mostly through residential areas, and the first evidence was found on Landings Way where several trees were snapped at their trunks, the weather service reported.
The tornado progressed east, crossing Interstate 71/75 and then seemingly dissipating on Tallwood Circle where multiple large branches were downed, the final known instance of damage.
Along the way, the tornado uprooted multiple trees and snapped branches, damaged several buildings and businesses, and snapped a large power pole near the intersection of U.S. 42 and Dream Street, according to the weather service.
How many tornadoes have been confirmed in Greater Cincinnati, beyond?
As of 1 p.m. June 20, the weather service has confirmed that apart from the one in Florence, two other tornadoes touched down in Greater Cincinnati on June 18:
- An EF2 “significant” tornado that traveled about 9 miles from Dearborn County, Indiana, to Boone County, Kentucky.
- An EF2 “significant” tornado that traveled just over 5 miles from Franklin County, Indiana, to Butler County, Ohio.
A few other tornadoes have been confirmed outside the Greater Cincinnati region, including an EF2 that traveled 23.6 miles from Scott County, Indiana, to Trimble County, Kentucky; an EF2 that traveled 9 miles across Pike County, Ohio; and one in Grant County, Kentucky, just north of Williamstown.
The weather service said details on the Grant County tornado will be released later on June 20.
