UCF Vs. Stony Brook, 2012 NCAA Baseball Tournament: Knights Season Ends With 10-6 Loss

The Central Florida baseball season came to an end on Monday night, as the Knights dropped an elimination game in the regional finals to Stony Brook. After the Seawolves cruised to a 12-5 win on Sunday, they backed it up again on Monday with a 10-4 victory to move on to the first Super Regional in the school's history. This marks the third time in the past 13 years that UCF has gone into the Regional final undefeated and been unable to advance with a win. They still seek their first Super Regional appearance in program history.

The Knights jumped out to an early 3-0 lead but starter Brian Adkins could not hold the lead. Adkins gave up four earned runs in 3.1 innings of work, as the Seawolves blew it open with a five-run fourth inning and would never look back. William Carmona, who absolutely raked all weekend, went four for five for Stony Brook and brought home three. His night included a two-RBI double during the fourth-inning rally that ignited the Seawolves and sent the Knights home packing.

Miami starter Eric Erickson lasted just five innings and gave up four runs. The Seawolves were also able to score six more runs over the final three innings of the game.

Miami Vs. Stony Brook, 2012 NCAA Baseball Tournament: Hurricanes Blown Out To Start Regional

The Miami Hurricanes suffered a stunning upset on the first day of regionals in Coral Gables on Friday night, losing to the No. 4 seed Stony Brook 10-2. The Canes offense started the 2012 NCAA Tournament scuffling at the plate, and the Seawolves poured it on in the final three innings to cruise to the win. Miami starter Eric Erickson lasted five innings, giving up four runs (two earned). Taking a 4-2 lead into the 7th inning, Stony Brook scored six runs over the final three innings to blow it open. A three-run eighth made it 9-2 and removed all doubt for a dramatic comeback by the No. 1 seed and host school.

Stony Brook starter Tyler Johnson scattered eight hits over 6.1 innings, allowing just two Miami runs in the fourth inning which momentarily tied the game. A Brad Fieger two-run shot to left was the only damage done by the 'Canes lineup. They will look to rebound on Saturday in an elimination game against Missouri State.

Florida Vs. Bethune-Cookman, 2012 NCAA Baseball Tournament: Jonathon Crawford Throws No-Hitter In Gators 4-0 Win

The No. 1 overall seed in the 2012 NCAA Baseball Tournament opened the postseason in impressive fashion on Friday night. The Florida Gators defeated Bethune-Cookman 4-0 on a dominant pitching performance by Jonathon Crawford, who pitched a no-hitter against the overmatched Wildcats. Crawford allowed only one baserunner, a walk in the top of the third inning. It's the first no-hitter for the Gators since 1991 when John Burke tossed a no-no against Furman in the NCAA Tournament. The sophomore struck out five as he cruised in a 98-pitch outing to open the regional round with a win.

On the offensive side for the Gators, it was all Casey Turgeon. The second baseman drove in all four runs, even though all Crawford needed was the RBI single in the second which brought home Daniel Pigott. Turgeon added to his big night in the bottom of the 5th when he launched a three-run homer to left.

Florida now faces the No. 2 seed in the Gainesville regional, Georgia Tech, on Saturday night at 7 p.m. ET.

Florida State Vs. UAB, 2012 NCAA Baseball Tournament: Seminoles Open Regional With 2-1 Win

The Florida State Seminoles opened the 2012 NCAA Baseball Tournament with a narrow 2-1 win over UAB at home in Dick Howser Stadium.

Gage Smith got the win, going 3.2 innings out of the pen and allowing just three hits during a scoreless appearance. Robert Benincasa came on in the ninth and slammed the door to convert the save and the opening win at regionals.

UAB starter Michael Busby was fantastic, but FSU managed to manufacture just enough. The No. 3 hitter James Ramsey came through in the clutch for the 'Noles, knocking in each run. He put FSU ahead 1-0 in the bottom of the third when he singled home Sherman Johnson with a ball through the right side on an 0-2 offering from Busby. Johnson scored again in the fifth after drawing another walk, and Ramsey was there to double him home for the game-winning run.

FSU will now face Samford on Saturday night at 7 p.m. ET.

Tallahassee Regional Final Score: Samford Upsets Mississippi State In First Game, 5-0

Two Bulldogs teams came into their game Friday in the Tallahassee Regional wanting to get a win to give them at least two more games in their season. The No.3 seed Samford Bulldogs, buoyed by a four-run eighth inning, defeated the No. 2 seed Mississippi State Bulldogs 5-0 on Friday.

Samford starting pitcher Charles Bedford pitched a gem, going eight innings and allowing only five hits. Samford took the lead in the top of the second inning off a solo home run by right fielder Brandon Miller. The game then went scoreless until the eighth inning when three Samford players hit home runs.

First baseman Saxon Butler and left fielder Christiaan Durdaller hit solo home runs while designated hitter C.K. Irby hit a two-run shot. Irby pitched the ninth inning to preserve the Samford shut out.

Both teams now await the result of Friday night's game between the No. 4 seed UAB Blazers and the host and No. 1 seed Florida State Seminoles to see what the next matchup will be.

College World Series 2012, Miami Vs. Stony Brook: Game Time, TV Schedule And More

Five days after suffering an upset at the hands of Georgia Tech, the Miami Hurricanes return to the diamond on Friday to open their NCAA Tournament campaign. Even though they came up short of an ACC Tournament title, they still earned a No. 1 seed in the tournament and the right to host their regional in Coral Gables. They start things off against the No. 4 seed Stony Brook, who won their spot by winning the America East tournament.

The 'Canes are led offensively by Peter O'Brien, who posted a 1.107 OPS during the season. With 10 home runs in just 38 games, he's a big power hitting threat. Unfortunately for the Hurricanes, he's the only guy who has the ability to go yard at any time, but guys around him in the order get on base frequently. O'Brien did niss a significant chunk of time through injury this year, and might not be 100 percent, but he is expected to play.

Eric Erickson should get the nod for the Hurricanes on the mound, but their starting rotation goes three-deep with quality pitchers, so there's not much of a drop-off if Jim Baker decides to save Erickson for the second game of the regional.

College World Series 2012, UCF Vs. Missouri State: Game Time, TV Schedule And More

The UCF Knights start baseball's second season on Friday afternoon in South Florida, facing Missouri State at Alex Rodriguez Park in Coral Gables. The No. 2 seeded Knights are the best bet to challenge the host Hurricanes, returning to Regionals for the second year in a row and looking to build on the experience from last season. PerfectGame.org has called the Coral Gables regional the toughest in the Tournament, with all four teams possessing quality RPI rankings.

UCF will open regional play with the sophomore fireballer, Ben Lively on the mound. But they'll be facing the best team pitching staff ERA in the country in Missouri State. Nick Petree, who enters with a 0.93 ERA will go for the Bears. A win would likely put them on a collision course with Miami, who faces Stony Brook in the second game of the day.

College World Series 2012, Florida Vs. Bethune-Cookman: Game Time, TV Schedule And More

In last year's NCAA Baseball tournament, the Florida Gators rolled through their competition, only to get swept by South Carolina in the championship series of the College World Series. This year, all of last season's star sophomores return as juniors, making Florida one of the clear favorites to win the tournament. They're a No. 1 seed, and they begin their trek towards a title on Friday against Bethune-Cookman in Gainesville.

Poor Bethune-Cookman. They're pretty good. They're always pretty good, actually. They played well in an 8-6 loss to Florida in Gainesville earlier in the year and they won the MEAC tournament, but they were 'rewarded' with a very difficult draw.

Power hitters Mike Zunino and Preston Tucker lead the way for Florida, while Nolan Fontana leads the team in on-base percentage. Jonathan Crawford is expected to take the mound for UF on Friday, and the Gators are one of few teams that has four quality starters available to them, instead of three. Karsten Whitson is a bit of a wildcard because of injuries, but if he's healthy, the Gators will have four very good starters at their disposal.
