The Virginia Tech Hokies appear to have a favorable draw when they host the Blacksburg Regional ahead of the College World Series. The rest of the group features non-Power 5 opponents, including a Wright State team which barely finished above .500. We’ll see if the Hokies can successfully navigate this setup.
The winner of the Blacksburg Regional will face off in the Super Regional round next weekend on the home field of the higher-seeded team. That will be a best-of-three format for a ticket to Omaha and the 2022 College World Series.
No. 1 seed Virginia Tech (41-12)
No. 2 seed Gonzaga (36-17)
No. 3 seed Columbia (30-16)
No. 4 seed Wright State (30-25)
