Miami, Alabama, Southern Miss Compete in Hattiesburg NCAA Baseball Regional

The Miami Hurricanes baseball team secured a spot in the 2025 NCAA Division I Baseball Championship as the No. 3 seed in the Hattiesburg Regional, hosted by Southern Miss. Miami will open regional play against the No. 2 seed Alabama Crimson Tide, with Southern Miss and Columbia rounding out the four-team field. This appearance marks Miami's 50th NCAA Tournament berth and their first under head coach JD Arteaga, who is under pressure to advance beyond the regionals after missing out last season. Alabama, with 41 wins and a strong SEC record, is aiming to advance by winning three games in the double-elimination regional. The winner of the Hattiesburg Regional will face the Nashville Regional winner, hosted by Vanderbilt, in the Super Regionals. Miami's recent history includes a regional title in 2016 and challenges advancing on the road, making this tournament critical for the program's progress.
