Miami leads Baseball America tourney projections

Baseball America has projected the field for the NCAA Div. I baseball tournament that begins with regional play later this month.

The SEC has seven teams listed and the ACC has six teams on the Baseball America list. Miami (Fla.) is listed as the No. 1 seed right now, according to the magazine. The other top eight seeds are Arizona State, North Carolina, Rice, Georgia, Texas A&M, Oklahoma State and Stanford.
