March Madness normally has a Cinderella, but the College World Series will also have one this year as the Murray State baseball team put on the glass slipper and will make the program’s first appearance.

The annual tournament in Omaha, Nebraska, will feature plenty of former champions such as Arkansas, Coastal Carolina, Louisville, LSU, Oregon State, and UCLA. With Coastal Carolina being a mid major, the Murray State Racers know well that Cinderella taking the throne in Omaha is realistic.
