Following an SEC Tournament title, the Florida Gators learned their post-season fate Sunday evening. Florida earned the No. 4 overall national seed, the selection committee announced Sunday.
The Gators (46-12, 17-7 SEC) won seven of their eight conference series, dropping just the Missouri series in Columbia.
The Gators will be joined in Gainesville by South Alabama, Florida Atlantic, and Florida Gulf Coast.
South Alabama is 32-18-1 overall on the season and finished conference okay with a 16-8 record. The Jaguars fell in the Sun Belt Conference tournament semifinals to No. 2 seed Texas State.
The Owls also dropped their conference tournament semifinal but finished the season 41-14 overall and 21-6 in the American Athletic Conference.
FGCU won the Atlantic Sun Conference tournament with a walk-off. The Eagles were 37-19 overall and 16-8 in league play. They enter the NCAA tournament on a five game winning streak.
The Gainesville regional is scheduled to take place May 15-17 at Katie Seashole Pressly Stadium at the University of Florida.
The Gainesville regional will matchup against the Lafayette (LA) region in super regional play. No. 13 Louisiana, Princeton, Ole Miss, and Baylor are the programs in that regional.
