Following a 43-13 season, the Dallas Baptist Baseball team has been selected by the NCAA selection committee as one of the top 16 teams in the nation to host a Regional Tournament, scheduled to begin on Friday, May 29 at Horner Ballpark.  Today's announcement marks the first time in school history since DBU joined the NCAA Division I ranks in 2004 and became eligible for the postseason in 2006, in which Dallas Baptist University will host a Regional Tournament.

The Patriots have compiled a stellar resume in 2015 that includes eclipsing 40 wins during the regular season for the first time in school history and a second place finish in the Missouri Valley Conference.  DBU has been ranked as high as No. 9 in the nation this year and held the top RPI in college baseball for eight of the past nine weeks.  Currently, the Patriots hold the No. 2 RPI in the nation.    

With today's announcement, Dallas Baptist joins Missouri State as one of two teams from the Missouri Valley Conference selected to host a Regional Tournament this year.  DBU is also one of just four schools from the state of Texas, joining Houston, TCU, and Texas A&M as host sites selected by the NCAA.   

The entire field of 64 teams will be revealed on Monday at 11:00 am CST on the NCAA Division I Baseball Championship Selection Show on ESPNU.  Fans can also return to dbupatriots.com on Monday afternoon to access the Dallas Regional Tournament Central page, which will provide fans information regarding game times, ticket information, and directions to Horner Ballpark. 

All session tournament passes are $60 and will go on sale for Dallas Baptist University faculty, staff, students, season ticket holders, and DBU Dugout Club members on Tuesday at 9:00 a.m. and will remain on sale through Wednesday at 11:00 a.m.  On Wednesday at 12:00 p.m., all session tournament passes will go on sale to the public and can be purchased at the DBU ticket office or online at DBUTickets.com. 

Single game tickets will go on sale the morning of each game.  Chairbacks for each game are $20, bleacher seating is $15 per game, (bleacher seats will not be sold until all chairbacks are sold), and standing room only for each game is $10.  (Standing room only will not be sold until all chairback and bleacher seats are sold.)
