... or ... Ole Miss just two years ago (2022) sneaking into the field as the last at-large team. Winning the Coral Gables regional. Dismantling Southern Miss in the Supers in Hattiesburg. Then rolling through the Omaha field on the way to their first national championship.
... or ... Fresno State in 2008. They were only in the field as a regional #4 seed because they won their league's auto bid. Then proceeded to win the national championship.

I would suggest that it is way more important to get hot in June if you are going to win the CWS than it is to get hot in May.
In all, if you win the CWS, you were probably pretty hot most of the season and all in all, May is really not any more important that the 4 months before it and certainly not as important as June.
Did a comparison of ERA #'s from the 13, 14, 15 and 16 years. Here is where we would stand today if the season ended. Green means we were better in those years, Yellow is equal and Red means we are better this year than in those years. I only compared 1:1, 2:2, etc.
Average ERA per year (Removing less than 4 innings pitched numbers):
2013: 4.486
2014: 3.858
2015: 4.157
2016: 4.290
2024: 5.174
Our current era is 4.31 for 2024. Help me understand the 5.174
