Here is your Gainesville Regional Recap for Day 1.
Florida 7 Bethune-Cookman 3

In his NCAA Regional debut, the rookie (8-3) did not allow a hit until the fifth inning in picking up his sixth-straight victory.
The fourth-ranked Gators will meet third-seeded Oregon State (32-22) in a winner’s bracket game at 7 p.m. tomorrow live on Sun Sports, while the Wildcats face second-seeded Florida Atlantic (35-23) in an elimination game at 1 p.m. The Beavers edged the Owls, 6-4, earlier this afternoon.
Oregon State 6 Florida Atlantic 4
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Tyler Smith hit his first home run in two months and Greg Peavey allowed two hits over 6 1/3 innings to pace the Oregon State baseball team past Florida Atlantic, 6-4, in the opening game of the Gainesville Regional Friday afternoon at McKethan Stadium.
The Beavers held on for the two-run win after the Owls scored four runs late in the game to make it interesting. However, Oregon State’s offensive attack, which provided Peavey with 10 hits, proved to be enough.
