Regional tournament play entered its third day on Sunday, where teams facing double elimination would have their final shots at remaining in the NCAA Tournament. Those teams would have little rest, having to play the number one seeded teams within their region in the regional championship game that decides which team moves on to Super Regionals.
Day Three saw many of the same upsets that occurred on day one, as notable number two seeds Alabama, Clemson, Miami, and Ole Miss were all sent home. Alabama held onto an 8-5 lead heading into the ninth inning before surrendering four runs and the game to Troy.
Similarly, Ole Miss looked lost in their 4-1 loss to William & Mary, as their solid offensive lineup failed to show up when it mattered most.
