Wildcats' Baseball to Face Florida State in Tallahassee Regional

Making their 12th appearance in the NCAA Baseball Tournament, the Wildcats of Bethune-Cookman learned their destination on Monday afternoon's NCAA Selection Show. B-CU will be making its fourth trip to the Tallahassee Regional, with games starting on Friday, June 3, as the Wildcats face off with first-seeded Florida State.  Also appearing in the Tallahassee Regional are Central Florida and Alabama.

Bethune-Cookman will face Florida State in the evening game on JUne 3rd at 6 p.m. 

Now in their sixth consecutive year going to the NCAA Tournament, the MEAC Champion Wildcats will open as the No. 4 seed against top seeded Regional host Florida State in the evening game. The winner will face the victor of No. 3 Alabama and No. 2 UCF on Saturday. NCAA Super Regionals are set for June 10-13 at campus sites, with the College World Series beginning in Omaha, June 18.

As opposed to recent years, the B-CU has only faced one of the Regional opponents in regular season play this year. The Wildcats played Central Florida twice in 2011, but have not taken on Florida State or Alabama, which could prove advantageous for Wildcats in a lack of familiarity for the opponent with B-CU's style.

In total, the Wildcats faced nine teams that earned spots among the NCAA Tournament field, wrapping up the season with a 36-23 record on the year, while earning their sixth consecutive MEAC title.
