Oregon State is the top national seed for the 2014 NCAA Division I baseball tournament.
Oregon State earned the top overall seed for the first time in program history after capturing a second consecutive Pac-12 Conference Championship.
The other seven national seeds are Florida, Virginia, Indiana, Florida State, Louisiana-Lafayette, TCU and LSU.
The tournament gets underway on Friday with 16 four-team, double-elimination regionals. The survivors are then paired off for eight best-of-three super regionals before the last eight teams earn trips to the College World Series, which starts June 14 in Omaha, Nebraska.
