The journey to Omaha will take place on the road for the Oregon State and Oregon baseball teams.
The NCAA on Sunday unveiled the 16 host sites for the regionals of the NCAA baseball tournament and the Beavers and Ducks, in a widely anticipated move, were not selected to host in the postseason.
The regionals will take place Friday through next Monday on campuses across the country. A record eight will take place at Southeast Conference Schools and just one — at Stanford — will be held on the West Coast. The 64-team tournament field, including the national seeds, will be revealed at 9 a.m. Monday during a selection show on ESPN2.
The Ducks clinched a berth to the tournament on Saturday, when they defeated Arizona in the Pac-12 baseball tournament championship game. They were on the postseason bubble heading into the tournament, but after heir improbable run in the tournament, the Ducks are projected to be a No. 2 seed.
The 10th-ranked Beavers are a lock for an at-large postseason bid and, despite stumbling to a pair of losses in Scottsdale, are also projected to be a No. 2 seed.
Here are the 16 hosts teams:
Alabama (Tuscaloosa, Ala.)
Arkansas (Fayetteville, Ark.)
Auburn (Auburn, Ala.)
Clemson (Clemson, S.C.)
Coastal Carolina (Conway, S.C.)
Florida (Gainesville, Fla.)
Indiana State (Terre Haute, Ind.)
Kentucky (Lexington, Ky.)
LSU (Baton Rouge, La.)
Miami (Coral Gables, Fla.)
Oklahoma State (Stillwater, Okla.)
South Carolina (Columbia, S.C.)
Stanford (Stanford, Calif.)
Vanderbilt (Nashville, Tenn.)
Virginia (Charlottesville, Va.)
