Sorry to say, the UC upstarts don't deserve to host.

For starters, the Dirtbags (35-17) have played seven series and 20 games this season against teams currently in the Baseball America Top 25, taking two of three against No. 6 Texas and No. 7 Arizona State. They also played another 11 games against teams that were in the Top 25 at one time or will make the NCAA 64-team field. They're 16-15 in all those games, with one more series left against Fullerton.
The Titans (33-21) have also played seven series against Top 25 teams, taking series from Arizona, Rice and Wichita State, and played another eight games against teams once in the ratings. Their collective record is 14-12.
No disrespect is meant for the UC twins, Irvine and Riverside, but neither team played as difficult a schedule. Irvine has played just ten games against ranked teams (going 5-5) and Riverside eight (8-0, but only two of those games out of conference).
