The Florida Gators will learn Sunday afternoon whether they will host one of the 16 four-team regionals that will begin the NCAA Division I Baseball Championships.
The NCAA Division I Baseball Committee will announce the 16 regional sites and hosts Sunday afternoon at 3:30 p.m. on the BottomLine of ESPN Networks and at http://www.ncaa.com.
The rest of the 64-team field will be announced Monday at 12:30 p.m. on ESPN. The half-hour show will announce team assignments and first-round regional pairings.
Kevin O’Sullivan’s Gators, who won the East Division of the Southeastern Conference and had the No. 2 seed in the SEC Postseason Tournament, are hoping to be a first-round host. Florida is currently 39-20 after going 1-2 in the SEC Tournament, with losses to Arkansas (8-5 Wednesday and 10-7 Friday) sandwiched around a 12-2 Thursday victory over Mississippi.
The Wednesday loss came on a day when the SEC’s top four seeds – No. 1 Louisiana State, No. 2 Florida, No. Mississippi and No. 4 Alabama – all were knocked into the losers’ bracket by No. 8 Vanderbilt, No. 7 Arkansas, No. 6 Georgia and No. 5 South Carolina, respectively.
The Commodores followed their 4-1 victory over regular-season champion LSU with a 5-4 Thursday victory over South Carolina and an 11-1 Saturday victory over Arkansas that moved them into Sunday’s championship game at Regions Park in Hoover, Ala. Vanderbilt (34-24) will play Louisiana State (45-16) for the title beginning at 1 p.m. ET.
Vanderbilt likely would earn a regional hosting berth if it wins the postseason tournament. LSU, Mississippi, Florida, South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama are the other teams which could get regional-hosting calls.
The eight Super Regional sites and hosts will be announced via press release and at http://www.ncaa.com on Monday, June 1 at 11 p.m. Four of the best-of-three Super Regional series will be played Friday, June 5 through Sunday, June 7, while the other four will be played Saturday, June 6 through Monday, June 8.
