After taking down an ACC team, St. John’s will now face an SEC team. The Tallahassee Regional was paired with the Tuscaloosa Regional, meaning the Johnnies will take on No. 7 national seed Alabama in a best-of-3 series for a spot in the College World Series.
Little Rock won the Hattiesburg Regional, which was hosted by No. 9 overall seed Southern Miss. The Hattiesburg Regional is paired with the Gainesville Regional. No. 8 national seed Florida and Troy will play a winner-take-all game Monday evening. The winner of the Gainesville Regional will host Little Rock with a trip to Omaha on the line.
