The NCAA announced on Monday, May 28 the field of 64 for the NCAA Baseball Championship. Florida State earned an at-large bid into the tournament after the Seminoles captured its first ACC Atlantic Division title en route to finishing the regular season with a record of 47-11. The Seminoles were also rewarded on Monday with a top eight national seed in this year's tournament.
"Back in August our goal was to get back to the College World Series and now we have that opportunity," said head coach Mike Martin. "We've got a chance to play all our games right at home and that's the reward that we get for what we accomplished during the regular season. Now we have a new season to focus our attention on. I was relieved when I saw our name come up as a national seed. I think our ball club deserves that recognition."
Florida State will be making its 30th consecutive appearance in the NCAA Baseball Tournament including 28 straight under Martin. The Seminoles have posted an overall record of 147-98 in 44 NCAA tournament appearances. FSU will also serve as a regional host in Tallahassee for the 25th time in school history.
Joining Florida State in the four-team regional in Tallahassee will be Mississippi State, Stetson and Bethune-Cookman. Play will begin on Friday, June 1 on Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium
