After playing four straight games against the same opponent, FSU takes on Virginia Friday, a team they have yet to face all year. Even though the familiarity will be low, the stakes are sky-high. The matchup winner will gain a crucial Quad-1 win in the race to a top-eight regional seed and move on to the semi-finals on Saturday. To increase the intensity, the Cavaliers came into the matchup ranked #9 on RPI, one spot behind the ‘Noles. It does not feel far-fetched to say that whoever comes out victorious should receive the final spot in an attempt to host a super regional.
Florida State’s situational hitting powers the Seminoles to a massive 12-7 win as the ‘Noles move onto the semi-finals.
