Come Saturday night, the FSU baseball team will take the field for the 24th time in their history in the annual battle of the last teams standing known as the College World Series – and for the 17th and final time, they will be led on the field by their long time head coach Mike Martin as they hope to get him his first title in his final chance.
For the Seminoles, they have had chances before to win a national title in college baseball. In 1970, the Noles went into extra innings before suffering a setback to eventual champion USC while the 1986 team made it to the title game – thanks to two wins over rival Miami while in Omaha – before getting beat by Arizona.
