The Gophers are two victories away from their first College World Series appearance in 41 years, and their quest for a trip to Omaha, Neb., begins with the opener of a best-of-three super regional series at Oregon State.
The first pitch is scheduled for 4 p.m.
The teams will meet again at 8:30 p.m. Saturday and, if a deciding game is needed, a third game at 8 p.m. Sunday, although that game time is subject to change depending on the outcome of other super regionals.
All of the games are scheduled to be shown on ESPN2.
The full tournament bracket and results are here.
