CONWAY – After winning both the Sun Belt regular-season and tournament championships, the Coastal Carolina baseball program will host the 2018 NCAA Conway Regional on campus at Springs Brooks Stadium, it was announced Sunday night jointly by the NCAA and ESPN.

The Chanticleers (42-17) will be a national seed and the rest of the NCAA Conway Regional field will be announced at 11 a.m. (CT) on Monday (May 28) on ESPNU.

The NCAA Conway Regional will be June 1-3 (an “if necessary” game is scheduled for June 4) at Springs Brooks Stadium.

This will be the fourth time Coastal Carolina has hosted a Regional (2007, 2008 and 2010) and the second time Coastal has hosted on campus (2008). Overall, Coastal will be playing in its 16th NCAA Regional. Coastal has been a #1 seed on four previous occasions (2005 in Tempe, Ariz., 2007 in Myrtle Beach, 2008, Conway and 2010 in Myrtle Beach).

The regional host bid for the Chanticleers will be the fourth overall for the Sun Belt Conference and first since 2016. Louisiana hosted that regional, the same season the Chanticleers claimed the NCAA baseball national title.
