Tallahassee Bound...

The journey to Omaha has begun, with complete tournament seeding picks released today. The Diamond Dawgs have been selected as the #2 seed in the Tallahassee Regional. Georgia plays 3 seed Ohio State at noon on Friday, followed at 4 by regional host and one seed Florida State playing 4 seed Marist. For a complete overview of the entire bracket, click here.

The winner of the Tallahassee Regional will face the winner of the Norman, OK regional, which consists of Oklahoma, Arkansas, Wichita State and Washington State.

UPDATE 1: We will be sticking with the new pitching rotation that Perno used to start the SEC tournament. During the regular season, Trevor Holder was our Friday starter followed by Justin Grimm on Saturdays. Perno made the change against Ole Miss in round 1 because he viewed the 2nd game more crucial to staying in the tourney. It worked there and I hope it will serve us well in Tallahassee.

UPDATE 2: Interesting Note: 4 teams from the state of Georgia made the field this season: UGA, GA Tech, GA St., and GA Southern.

Other interesting side note: The Lady Diamond Dawgs just beat Ohio State Friday night in the softball tournament and now their male contemporaries have a chance to do the same to the Diamond Bucks.
