Seven teams have gone undefeated through the regional round to advance to the supers, including national seeds LSU, Florida State, Virginia and Oregon State. With its takedown of Virginia Tech, Oklahoma is the first non-No. 1 seed into the second round. Both Indiana and Kansas State are heading to the first super regional appearances in their respective histories.

The No. 1 and 2 overall national seeds have yet to punch their tickets to the next round, as both North Carolina and Vanderbilt suffered surprising losses Sunday night. UNC outhit Florida Atlantic by ten, but couldn't get the big swing when they needed it as they fell 3-2. Vanderbilt didn't manage a single hit from the third inning on as they went down 5-0 to Georgia Tech. It's the first loss for either team in the tournament, meaning they'll go again Monday with a chance to advance.

Central Arkansas is the only four-seed left in the field after winning back-to-back games Sunday, including a 5-2 win over host team Mississippi State in Starkville. They got two complete-game performances from their starting pitchers in those two games, and may actually be in better pitching situation than the Bulldogs heading into Monday's showdown despite having played an extra game.

South Carolina and Liberty have been suspended due to weather, and they'll resume Monday at 1:05 p.m. ET with the Gamecocks leading 4-2 in the bottom of the fifth.

We'll bring you updates on the two late West Coast games (Cal State Fullerton vs. Arizona and San Diego vs. UCLA) first thing Monday morning
