The Arizona Wildcats stunned the No. 5 national seed, the North Carolina Tar Heels, 4-3, and are going to the College World Series for the 19th time in school history. Beaten soundly, 18-2 ...

Six conferences and an independent will be represented at the College World Series. None were among the final eight in Omaha a year ago.

Arizona made it to Omaha all but one year from 1954-60 and won its three titles in the 1970s and 1980s across five CWS appearances. After missing it 17 consecutive times between 1987 and 2003, the Wildcats returned to the CWS in 2004, marking their first of five appearances this century. Four of those trips have come since 2012.
