The Raiders (44-15) are making their second straight appearance in the regionals, sixth in Division I and 13th NCAA appearance overall in program history. Wright State\u00a0is also the #3 seed for the second consecutive year.<\/p>\n

Wright State\u00a0secured a spot in the NCAA baseball tournament by winning the Horizon League tournament<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Wright State and Ohio State are joined by regional No. 1 seed Louisville (47-12) and No. 4 seed Western Michigan (22-32), who will play on Friday at 6. The Raiders are 8-6 all-time against the Cardinals, including a 9-1 Louisville win on March 16, and are 1-0 versus Western Michigan, with the lone meeting being an 8-2 Raider\u00a0home win on May 9, 2003.<\/p>\n

In 2015, Wright State was the runner-up at the Champaign Regional. The Raiders dropped a 13-7 decision to Notre Dame in the opening game before eliminating Ohio 8-3 and Notre Dame 4-0 to advance to the finals. WSU then fell to host Illinois 8-4 in the finals.<\/p>\n

In its first Division I regional appearance, Wright State went 1-2 in 1994 in Knoxville, Tennessee, defeating North Carolina State 14-12 before falling to Arizona State 7-4 and North Carolina State 10-6. In 2006 in Corvallis, Oregon, the Raiders dropped a 5-3 decision to eventual national champion Oregon State and lost 5-3 to Oregon. In 2009 in Fort Worth, Texas, the Raiders fell 6-3 to TCU and 6-4 in 11 innings to Texas A&M while in 2011 in College Station, Texas, the Raiders\u00a0fell 11-0 to Texas A&M and 13-0 to Arizona.<\/p>\n

Ohio State (43-18-1) won four games in two days to claim the Big Ten Tournament title, winning over Michigan and then Michigan State twice before rallying from an early 4-0 deficit to defeat Iowa in the title game 8-7. Wright State and the Buckeyes have met 40 times previously, with OSU hosting a 22-17-1 advantage. The two teams, though, have not played each other since Ohio State won 13-4 in Columbus on April 21, 2004.<\/p>\n

The two teams have four common opponents in 2016 in Toledo (OSU 2-0-1, Wright State\u00a03-1), Xavier (OSU 1-0, Wright State\u00a02-0), Cincinnati (OSU 1-0, Wright State 2-0) and Eastern Michigan (OSU 1-0, Wright State 2-0).<\/p>\n

Ticket information for the regional tournament will be released soon.<\/p>\n

The winner of the Louisville Regional will move on to a Super Regional next week against the winner of the Nashville Regional, which consists of Vanderbilt, Washington, UC Santa Barbara and Xavier. The Super Regional is a best two-of-three format with the winner advancing to the eight-team College World Series, scheduled for June 18-29 in Omaha, Nebraska.<\/p>\n
