Oregon State Beavers, Oregon Ducks named regional hosts for NCAA baseball tournament

The road to Omaha will travel through two Oregon cities.

The

NCAA baseball tournament

selection committee on Sunday named Oregon and Oregon State regional hosts, meaning Eugene and Corvallis will be two of the 16 cities that stage opening round matchups during the annual college baseball postseason.

The full 64-team field, including seeding details for the Beavers and Ducks, will be unveiled Monday at 9 a.m. on ESPN2. But both teams will host four-team, double-elimination events that begin Friday.

Neither program is a stranger to postseason play, especially in recent years.

Oregon State (41-12-1) is hosting a regional for the 13th time in school history, including the 10th time since 2005 and third in the

Mitch Canham

era. The Beavers also hosted in 2022 and 2024 under Canham, winning both to advance to the super regionals.

As the three-time College World Series champions have blossomed into a perennial college baseball power in the 21st century, they have been a tough postseason out at home — the Beavers boast a 30-7 all-time regional record at Goss Stadium.

OSU swept the Corvallis Regional

last season, winning a trio of games against Tulane and UC Irvine on the way to the Lexington Super Regional, where it

fell to Kentucky

Oregon, meanwhile, is making its 12th appearance in the NCAA baseball tournament, including a school-record fifth in a row, and is hosting for the fourth time in the last 14 years. The Ducks have earned three regional championships, winning the Eugene Regional in 2012, the Nashville Regional in 2023 and the Santa Barbara Regional last season.

Oregon swept three games in Santa Barbara, defeating San Diego and the host Gauchos (twice) to advance to the Bryan-College Station Super Regional, where the Ducks’ season ended

with back-to-back losses against Texas A&M

.

Oregon owns a 25-22 all-time record in postseason play, which includes a 22-18 mark since baseball returned to Eugene in 2009. The Ducks are 8-4 in regional games at PK Park.

Oregon State and Oregon are two of three West Coast teams to be named regional hosts, joining UCLA, as the national seeds were littered with schools from the SEC and East Coast.

The SEC was awarded eight: Georgia, Auburn, Texas, LSU, Arkansas, Tennessee, Ole Miss and Vanderbilt. The ACC (North Carolina, Florida State, Clemson), Big Ten (Oregon, UCLA) and Sun Belt (Coastal Carolina, Southern Mississippi) also were awarded multiple host sites.

The Beavers are the only independent to be named a national seed.
