UConn baseball selected to Gainesville Regional; earn fifth straight NCAA Tournament bid

UConn baseball will be playing June baseball for the fifth straight season and the ninth time since 2010, as the Huskies were placed in the Gainesville Regional, hosted by No. 2 Florida.

Jim Penders’ club is the 2-seed and will be joined by 3-seed Texas Tech out of the Big 12 and 4-seed Florida A&M, the SWAC champion.

The No. 2 overall seed, the Florida Gators are 44-14 overall, including 20-10 in the SEC. That was good enough to win the SEC East and tie for the regular season conference title with Arkansas. The Gators went to the SEC Tournament semifinals before losing to Vanderbilt and are No.
