Michigan Wolverines baseball was on the bubble heading into Monday's NCAA Tournament Selection Show, but was excited to hear its name called as a No. 3 seed in the South Bend Regional.

The Maize and Blue will begin the four-team, double-elimination regional with a game against UConn Friday night at 7 p.m. ET. The two squads are joined by No. 1 seed Notre Dame and No. 4 seed Central Michigan.

Michigan head coach Erik Bakich met with the media this afternoon to discuss his team's tournament bid, saying it was like 'Christmas morning' watching his players celebrate.
