The NCAA college baseball super regionals averaged 608,000 viewers on the ESPN networks, up 31% from last year, and the highest average for the round since 2009. (Note that changes in Nielsen methodology skew comparisons to past years.)

USC-North Carolina was the top game of the round with a 0.7 rating and 1.32 million viewers in an abbreviated window last Sunday afternoon, followed by its Georgia-Mississippi State lead-in at a 0.6 and 1.22 million — the two most-watched super regional games on record.

Placing third for the weekend, Texas-Oregon averaged 1.1 million in ESPN’s old “Sunday Night Baseball” window.
