The 64-team field has been set for the 2013 NCAA Division-I Baseball Championship and for the second year in a row, the Ducks will be one of the Regional hosts.
Oregon head coach George Horton’s team went 45-14 this season, and their impressive performance garnered them the nod from the NCAA selection committee as one of 16 host locations. Each Regional location consists of four teams competing in double-elimination-style play for the chance to advance onto the Super Regional.
Oregon enters the tournament as the No. 1 seed in their section and begins postseason play against South Dakota State, the No. 4 seed, on Friday at 6 p.m at PK Park. Rice and San Francisco are the two and three seeds of the section, respectively.
The Ducks are not the only Pac-12 school to be named as a host location. For the second year in a row, UCLA is also Regional host as well as Oregon State, which begins its Regional play against the University of Texas-San Antonio.
