Florida State, behind ace and potential No. 1 overall pick Jamie Arnold, makes the Seminoles a tough out in their home park. FSU has other good starting options in Joey Volini and Ole Miss transfer Wes Mendes, and a power-laden lineup with another future high MLB pick in Alex Lodise, plus Max Williams, Drew Faurot and Myles Bailey.

Northeastern, at 48-9, enters on a 27-game winning streak, last having lost on March 22 to Towson. Coach Mike Glavine’s offense is led by pro prospect Cam Maldonado and a pitching staff of Alvin Cabral, Jordan Gottesman, Will Jones, Charlie Walker, Brett Dunham and crew led Northeastern to a nation’s best 2.92 ERA.

Mississippi State caught fire late after the dismissal of coach Chris Lemonis, thanks to a red-hot last month from third baseman Ace Reese. The Bulldogs' pitching staff, led by Pico Kohn, Evan Siary, Ryan McPherson, Nate Williams and others, caught fire late, too. Can the Bulldogs find consistency and enough defense to get through a tough regional?

Bethune Cookman’s lineup, paced by Andrey Martinez, smacked 84 home runs and stole 128 bases in getting the SWAC’s automatic bid by winning the league tournament.
