Game Overview
A top-10 matchup between No. 5 Florida State Seminoles and No. 7 Florida Gators, with FSU hosting at Dick Howser Stadium. Both teams are coming off strong starts to their seasons, with FSU undefeated at 15-0 and Florida at 15-2.
Key Factors to Consider
- Florida State is undefeated with a strong batting average and ERA, while Florida has shown resilience with a series sweep over Harvard. FSU's offense is potent with a .345/.445/.532 slash line, and their pitching has a 2.45 ERA.
- Florida has historically dominated the series, winning 22 of the last 29 meetings. However, FSU swept the series last year, including a 19-4 run-rule victory.
- No significant injury reports have been noted for either team.
- The game is sold out, which could favor FSU with home-field advantage. However, Florida's strong road record under Coach Kevin O'Sullivan could mitigate this.
- Both teams are highly motivated, having reached the College World Series Semifinals last year. The rivalry and top-10 ranking add extra incentive.
