Arkansas brought in their all-american closer, SEC Player of the Year, and winner of a couple national POY honors already (Kopps) in the 4th inning. Their experiment going with their #4 starter did not go so well.
Wright State dropped a heart breaker in Knoxville. With a three-run lead in the bottom 9th, they gave up a one-out walk-off grand slam to the Vols, 9-8.

And the Devil gets his due in the 9th.
Wrong call on the foul ball/HBP that brought the tying run in, but it still reminded me too much of a Rice game in the 2015-2017 time frame. Something about the teams I root for!
South Alabama put up 10 runs in the 6th, all with 2 outs, by playing a lot of small ball. Lead-off walk, next two outs, then six straight singles, pitching change, double, and then three more singles. This whole time, Florida had only one error, a throw by the right fielder on the very last single. The NCAA game tracker is garbage, but no less than 9 of those runs were earned, probably all 10.
Oh, and then South Alabama opened their side of the 7th with back-to-back home runs and continued a few batters later with a three-run shot. 19-1 with 1 out, bottom 7.

When is the last time a #1 seed and regional host went 2&Q?

It’s probably happened more recently but I can vividly remember Florida State doing it several years ago.

Actually, it was Oregon State in 2019 (the last post-season held).

I was thinking of 2018 FSU.
Lost game 1 to Samford and lost game 2 to Mississippi State.
