PROVO - BYU Baseball earned its first bid to the NCAA Tournament since 2002 with a West Coast Conference Tournament Championship over the weekend.

The Bat Cats will find out where they are headed to play in this year's tournament on Memorial Day at 10 a.m. (MDT). That is when the NCAA Baseball Tournament Selection Show will take place, which will be televised on ESPN2.

2017 marks the 14th appearance all-time for BYU Baseball in the NCAA Tournament. The Cougars have made it to the College World Series twice, the last coming in 1971 when there was only 27 teams in the tournament field.
