Five of the 64 teams that will compete in the NCAA baseball tournament are within a hundred miles of Research Triangle Park.

Three of those are set to gather in Greenville, North Carolina, where East Carolina will host one of 16 regional sites.

N.C. State was hoping 42 wins was enough for an opening weekend at home, but that didn't happen. The Wolfpack will square off with Big South champion Campbell.

The two split a pair of games during the regular season.
