ESPN also broadcasts the CWS, which will run from June 19-30 at Rosenblatt.The CWS has had start times of 1 p.m. and 6 p.m. in recent years for days when two games are scheduled.

The second games on those days will begin at 8 p.m.Single games on Wednesday and Thursday will begin with customary 6 p.m. first pitches. Start times also will remain unchanged for the if-necessary games on Saturday, June 26. If two games are necessary to determine the bracket champions, they would be played at 1 p.m. and 6 p.m.
