Murray State’s Unforgettable Cinderella Run to the College World Series
Let me take a moment to talk about one of the most exciting and inspiring stories in college baseball right now—Murray State's incredible journey to the 78th Men’s College World Series. This isn’t just another underdog story. This is history in the making. The Racers have defied the odds and punched their ticket to Omaha as only the fourth No. 4 regional seed ever to make it this far. And now, all eyes are on them as they gear up to face powerhouse No. 15 UCLA on Saturday, June 14, at 2 p.m. ET at Charles Schwab Field.
Just think about how far they’ve come. It all started in the Oxford Regional, where Murray State stunned the baseball world by toppling No. 10 Ole Miss with a 9–6 win. And they didn’t stop there—they went on to beat Georgia Tech in a slugfest, 13–11. After a tough loss to Ole Miss in a rematch, the Racers came back strong and clinched the regional with a dramatic 12–11 win in the deciding game. It was gritty, emotional baseball—everything fans dream about.

And now they’re here, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the best teams in the country on college baseball’s biggest stage. UCLA, their first opponent in Omaha, has been red-hot this postseason—undefeated through the regionals and super regionals with a 5–0 record. The Bruins have the experience and the depth, but Murray State has the momentum, the belief, and an entire nation of baseball fans starting to believe in miracles.
This is the beauty of college sports. It’s not just about the stats, the rankings, or the predictions. It’s about heart. It’s about grit. It’s about rising when no one expects you to. And Murray State is doing exactly that.
