NCAA Baseball Tournament schedule: Arizona advances to Lafayette Regional final on Monday

The Wildcats need two more wins

After losing their first game on Sunday and winning their second, the Arizona Wildcats need two wins against the Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns on Monday to advance to the Starkville Super Regional.

Here are the scheduled times for those games, weather pending:

Regional Game Six -- 11 AM PT

Regional Game Seven (if Arizona wins Game Six) -- 5 PM PT

Games can be seen on Watch ESPN and the ESPN App. You can also listen to the Arizona radio broadcast here:

Arizona's pitching situation is at an interesting place heading into a day where they have to win two games or the season ends. In Sunday night's game against Sam Houston State, the Wildcats threw not one, not two, but three potential starting pitchers; Bobby Dalbec threw 105 pitches, Cameron Ming tossed 13, and Kevin Ginkel racked up 24.

Ming and Ginkel should be okay to bring back after 15 or so hours of rest. In theory, we could see Nathan Bannister in spot duty after he threw 97 pitches on Friday. Other viable options are Cody Deason and Michael Flynn, who have not been used yet this weekend.

The Ragin' Cajuns have had four different pitchers throw over 50 pitches in their two games, but only Gunner Leger threw more than 80 (98 on Sunday). Louisiana is in a better position with their pitching staff, as the winners' bracket team should be, but it's not a huge amount better than Arizona, which is nice for the Wildcats.

After getting dominated 10-3 by the Cajuns on Sunday, it'll be interesting to see if Arizona can leave that in the past and take two games from the raucous fans in Lafayette.
