It’s tournament time in the world of NCAA baseball as the 64 team field has been announced for the annual tournament. The regional round kicks off this weekend with 16 teams advancing to the best of three Super Regional round next weekend at sites across the country.

The 16 regional sites were announced on Sunday, with the Florida Gators getting the chance to host one on their campus in Gainesville, Florida for the 14th time in program history.
