COLUMBUS, Ga. (WTVM) - The road to the NCAA DII World Series in Cary, North Carolina begins this week. Columbus State has earned the No. 3 seed in the Southeast Regional. CSU opens play on Thursday at 7 ET vs. Belmont Abbey. The winner of the double-elimination style tournament advances to a best-of-three super regional series next weekend.

The team left for Wingate, NC on Tuesday afternoon.

“I gotta think this is the toughest region in the country,” said Columbus State head baseball coach Greg Appleton.
