The George Mason Patriots and Virginia Cavaliers have each been announced as entrants in the 2009 NCAA baseball tournament. Mason's entry in the national championship competition is its first since 2004.
George Mason comes into NCAA tourney play as an at-large entrant, having compiled the second best win/loss record by percentage in the NCAA though admittedly with not the strongest of schedules. The Patriots are the #3 seed in the double elimination Greenville, N.C. regional, set to play #2 seed South Carolina @ 3 p.m. EDT Friday.
Virginia gained entry into the NCAA tournament through an automatic bid for winning the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament. The Cavaliers were named as the #2 seed of the Irvine, Cal. regional, starting out Friday 7 p.m. EDT against #3 seed San Diego State.
