LOS ANGELES – The UCLA baseball team has captured a No. 2 seed at the NCAA Baseball Tournament's Minneapolis Regional, hosted by Minnesota, beginning on Friday, June 1. The Bruins earn their third postseason appearance in the last four seasons and the 10th since 2006.

The Bruins (36-19) will face No. 3 seed Gonzaga (32-22) on Friday, June 1 at 11 a.m. PT from Siebert Field. The Bulldogs earned the automatic qualifier from the West Coast Conference after winning the conference tournament on Saturday over Pepperdine 17-2.

No. 1 seed Minnesota (41-13), who won both the Big Ten regular season and tournament titles, will face the No. 4 seed Canisius (35-20), winners of the MAAC championship, in the other Regional contest on Friday. Each of the 16 Regionals features a four-team, double-elimination format. Both games on Friday will be streaming online at WatchESPN.

The 64-team NCAA Tournament bracket was revealed on ESPNU's hour-long selection show Monday at 9 a.m. (PT).
