The NCAA Tallahassee Baseball Regional was turned upside down on its first day.
The top two seeds in the four-team field – No. 10 national seed Florida State and Coastal Carolina – were upset in their Friday, May 29, openers at Hower Stadium.
The Seminoles blew a late lead and tumbled to St. John’s 6-5, while Northern Illinois held on and beat Coastal Carolina 12-10 for its first NCAA Tournament game victory in history. The team last appeared in the NCAA Tourney in 1972.
Instead of facing in an expected winners’ bracket game Saturday, May 30, the Seminoles (38-18) and Chanticleers (37-22) tangle in an elimination game at 2 p.m. FSU is 13-1 all-time against Coastal Carolina, all in Tallahassee, including 1-0 in the postseason in 1991.
The losers’ bracket game was originally scheduled at 1, but rainy weather impacted Friday’s schedule. The FSU-St. John’s game at 3 p.m. was delayed two hours, while NIU and Coastal Carolina started at 9:33 p.m. and ended around 1:30 a.m. St. John’s and NIU play at 7 p.m. Saturday, May 30.
While TV designation for the rest of the weekend has not been announced, each game of the regional will air live and stream on ESPN Unlimited at:Stream Live Sports and Exclusive Originals All in One Place with ESPN | ESPN.
Saturday’s weather forecast calls for mixed clouds and sun with scattered thunderstorms. Temps are expected in the mid-80s with the chance of rain at 60%.
