Coral Gables, FL (hurricanesports.com) – The eighth-seeded University of Miami baseball team (42-15-1) will host North Carolina State (45-16) in the NCAA Coral Gables Super Regional, June 7-9, at Mark Light Field.

“North Carolina State is an outstanding club that had a great year,” said head coach Jim Morris. “We are very excited about hosting a Super Regional.”

Saturday’s opening game is set for 12:05 p.m. with Sunday’s game slated to start at 2:35 p.m. If necessary, Monday’s game will start at 1:05 p.m.

Miami is one of only three schools, joining LSU and Stanford, to advance to a Super Regional all five seasons since the format was established in 1999.

This marks the third time the Hurricanes have hosted a Super Regional. The Hurricanes hosted a Super Regional in 1999 and 2001. Both times the Hurricanes went on to win the National Championship.

Overall, Miami is 6-4 all-time in Super Regional competition including a 4-0 mark at home.

UM is 8-4 all-time again North Carolina State including a 2-0 record in post-season play. Miami and North Carolina State last met during the 2000 season with the Hurricanes taking two games of the three-game set.
