Seminoles to host NCAA baseball Regional

Colleges & Universities Florida State University

<p>A rare meeting between Florida State and Florida in an NCAA Tallahassee baseball regional is a possibility that is sure to create a buzz among Seminole fans.</p>

<p>Coach Mike Martin and his players would rather talk about Bucknell, FSU’s opening opponent in the four-team regional that begins at Dick Howser Stadium on Friday and also includes Tulane.</p>

<p>“For the fans, it’s going to be fun because everybody loves a Florida State-Florida matchup if that happens,” FSU first baseman Dennis Guinn said. “That’s not how were taking it. We can’t look ahead.”</p>

<p>This will be just the third visit for Florida to Tallahassee for the postseason since the NCAA went to a regional format in 1975. The Gators won both previous games and used victories over FSU and Tulane in the 1988 Tallahassee regional to reach the College World Series for the first time in the program’s history.</p>

<p>FSU won two of three regular-season games between the schools, including the one played in Tallahassee in mid-April. But those games were played in the middle of the week — not on a Saturday night with a chance to advance to the regional’s championship game on the line.</p>

<p>“I was very impressed with Florida this year,” Martin said of the Tallahassee regional’s No. 2 seed, and as with Tulane, an at-large selection. “I’ve talked to a couple of people previously and they said Tulane was very good.”</p>

<p>The Seminoles secured the No. 4 national seed on Monday. If they can make it through their regional, they will host the winner of the Stillwater, Okla., regional that consists of Oklahoma State, Western Kentucky, Texas Christian and Wichita State.</p>

<p>FSU hosts No. 4 regional seed Bucknell at 7 p.m. on Friday. The winner of that game plays at 7 p.m. on Saturday against the Florida-Tulane winner in the double elimination tournament.</p>

<p>I was in Jacksonville for the ACC tourney and plan on making the 5 hour trek to Tally this weekend to catch Friday and/or Saturday’s action of the regional. This team is special, and is lead by a truly remarkable person, player and student (academic all american with 3.8 GPA in Finance) in Buster Posey.</p>

<p>Anyone nearby in Tally or even a short drive away needs to go out and support this squad, they’ve deserved it. Grandstand reserved passes are sold out, but general admission are still available for $30, which gets you into all games.</p>

<p>The 'Noles certainly bounced back from the first loss to Bucknell, putting up 24 on Bucknell and winning 17-8 over Tulane tonight. They play Tulane again tomorrow (Monday) night at 7pm, with a bid to the Super Regionals at stake. If the 'Noles win, they will host Wichita State next weekend, so if anyone happens to be in Tallahassee, you should make plans to be at Dick Howser to cheer on FSU to victory.</p>
