After defeating the Oregon Ducks on Sunday night, Oral Roberts punched their ticket to the NCAA's Men's College World Series for the first time since 1978.

They will match up against TCU, who defeated Indiana St. in both Super Regional games this past weekend.

The game between Oral Roberts and TCU is set to be played on Friday, June 16 at Charles Schwab Field in Omaha, Nebraska, at 2:00 pm EST. The second game of the first bracket between Florida and Virginia is set for 7:00 pm EST.

Oral Roberts is only the third No. 4 seed to reach Omaha, and while they are the betting underdog in their matchup against TCU, baseball's unpredictable nature makes it difficult to predict.

According to DKsportsbook, Oral Roberts has the second-lowest odds of winning the championship at +2200, whereas TCU sits in the middle with +800.
