Matt Olson hit a tiebreaking homer, Bryce Elder bounced back from his worst start of the season, and the Braves defeated the Blue Jays 4-3 on Tuesday night. Olson’s towering shot barely cleared the right-field wall, snapping a 3-all deadlock in the sixth inning. Elder (5-3) went 6 2/3 innings, allowing six hits and three runs. It was a big improvement over his last appearance, when he was rocked for nine hits and six runs in 3 1/3 innings of an 8-0 loss to the Red Sox at Fenway Park.
The eight super regional hosts were announced Tuesday by the NCAA Division I Baseball Championship Subcommittee.
