BRIGHTON, Mass. – Boston College baseball received the two-seed in the Tuscaloosa Regional, hosted by Alabama, in the NCAA Tournament as announced Monday afternoon. The Eagles (35-18) return to the tournament field for the first time since 2016 and are making their 12th overall appearance.

Number-16 overall seed Alabama and Boston College are joined by three-seed Troy, which BC will play in its opener at 3 p.m. ET on Friday, and four-seed Nicholls. The regionals are scheduled to be played June 2-5.
