Aaron Fitt

Aaron Fitt takes an in-depth look at the races for national seeds, regional hosts and at-large bids heading into the final weekend of the regular season.

It was business as usual for No. 2 North Carolina in a road win at rival NC State, as the usual suspects turned in strong mound work and Owen Hull's power surge continued.

Georgia Tech's superstars and role players are all sizzling-hot, and its offense has looked simply unstoppable for weeks. Friday's comeback win vs. Virginia was the latest tour de force showing.

Elliott Avent is set to retire after 30 years as NC State's head coach. Aaron Fitt reflects on Avent's career and legacy, which will be defined by his giant heart, first and foremost.

Oklahoma came from behind for the second straight day to stun Georgia Tech. Aaron Fitt processes OU's triumph and the weight of history that saddled a great GT club.

Everything was going according to UNC's plan, right up until Dean Carpentier delivered a go-ahead grand slam off superstar Walker McDuffie, propelling USC to a game one win.

With UNC's season hanging in the balance, Jason DeCaro delivered a two-hit shutout that ranks among the great pitching performances in program history, given the stakes.

Led by postseason veteran Armani Guzman and small-school transfers Tyrus Hall and Ian Korn, West Virginia looked like a comfortable Omaha mainstay in its CWS debut vs. Troy.

Troy's trademark resilience is directly related to its easygoing goofiness and its coachability. These Trojans are "weirdos" and they are winners, who notched the first CWS victory in program history Sunday.

Oklahoma hammered North Carolina to emphatically capture its third national title, and its first since 1994.
