No. 1 UCLA falls in NCAA regional

OMAHA, Neb. — No. 1 UCLA is out of the NCAA baseball tournament, while all seven of the other national seeds will head to super regionals.

Maryland eliminated the Bruins with a 2-1 win in Los Angeles on Monday night, making this the second straight year the top national seed failed to win its regional.

No. 2 LSU, No. 3 Louisville, No. 4 Florida, No. 5 Miami, No. 6 Illinois, No. 7 TCU and No. 8 Missouri State each made it to the round of 16.

The Southeastern Conference had five of its seven tournament teams move to super regionals and the Atlantic Coast Conference had four of its seven advance. The Pac-12, which had six teams make the tournament, won’t be represented in super regionals for the first time in 17 years.

Winners of the best-of-three super regionals go to the College World Series in Omaha, starting June 13.

Matchups Friday through Sunday: Florida State (44-19) at Florida (47-16), Virginia Commonwealth (40-23) at Miami (47-15), Missouri State (48-10) at Arkansas (38-22) and Maryland (42-22) at Virginia (37-22).

Series Saturday through Monday: Louisiana-Lafayette (42-21) at LSU (51-10), defending national champion Vanderbilt (45-19) at Illinois (50-8-1), Cal State Fullerton (37-22) at Louisville (46-16) and Texas A&M (49-12) at TCU (47-12).

National seeds typically are assured of being on their home field for super regionals.
