Wednesday was a great night for the Great West Conference – which does not even receive an automatic berth in the NCAAs – as Texas-Pan American won 5-2 at Texas A&M (#5 in the CB360 Composite National Rankings) while Utah Valley held on for a 9-6 upset at #19 Arizona State, highlighting a day in which 35% of the underdogs (8-15) won games involving CB360 top-50 teams.  front-page photo courtesy of Utah Valley

Utah Valley (at Arizona State) joined UTPA (at Texas A&M) in upsetting CB360 top-20 teams on their home field.

Another one of the nation’s top teams was upset on Wednesday, as North Carolina (cb360 #4) dropped a 7-4 game to visiting Gardner-Webb. A top-10 showdown went to the visitor, with #9 Arizona earning a split from its two-game visit at #7 Rice (8-5).

Wednesday’s four other top-50 upsets included: Southeastern Louisiana winning again vs. #27 Mississippi State, 5-1 … Western Carolina 8-4 vs. #35 Clemson … Indiana 7-6 in 11 innings at #43 San Diego … and Coastal Carolina 5-1 vs. #45 College of Charleston.
