League champion East
Carolina and regular season kingpin Houston headline a group of four
teams that will represent the American Athletic Conference in the NCAA

The Pirates and Cougars,
along with AAC members South Florida and Tulane, heard their names
called on Monday when the NCAA announced the field of 64 teams that
will participate in this weekend's 16 four-team regionals.
Fresh off
its four-game sweep through the AAC tournament
in Clearwater, FL, ECU will return to the Sunshine State as the No.
2 seed in Coral Gables. The Pirates will take on No. 3 seed Columbia
on Friday at 1 p.m. to open the regional. Top seem Miami will face
No. 4 seed Florida International at 7 p.m.
The double-elimination
format in Coral Gables and in the other regionals will pit Friday's
losers against each other on Saturday followed by a contest between
the first day's winners. Three survivors will advance to Sunday when
two games will leave one standing.
Houston is a top seed
and will serve as a regional host, taking on No. 4 seed Houston
Baptist on Friday at 8 p.m. That game will be preceded by a game
between No. 2 seed Rice and No. 3 seed Louisiana-Lafayette at 3:30
p.m.
No. 3 seed South Florida
will open the Gainesville, FL, regional on Friday with a matchup
against No. 2 seed Florida Atlantic at 1 p.m. Host and top seed
Florida will face No. 4 seed Florida A&M at 7 p.m.
Tulane will participate
in the Baton Rouge regional as a No. 3 seed, clashing in an 8 p.m.
nightcap with No. 2 seed UNC-Wilmington. Host and No. 1 seed LSU
will with tangle with No. 4 seed Lehigh at 4 p.m.
The 16 regional winners
will be paired off in eight super regionals at campus sites the
following weekend. The eight survivors of those best of three series
will punch their tickets to Omaha for the June 13-24 College World
Series which features a double-elimination, bracket-play format.
