Ohio State baseball coach Bob Todd has made no bones about the fact that he thought his team deserved to be a higher seed and play host to a regional tournament. The Buckeyes won seven of eight Big Ten series, including three-game sweeps of Michigan State, Northwestern and Iowa, and earned their first conference title since 2001. When the 64-team field was announced on Monday, however, Ohio State was seeded third and shipped South, where it will play second-seeded Georgia in a first-round game at noon on Friday in Tallahassee. To add insult to injury, no school from the East or Midwest was selected as a regional host.
