Florida State baseball lived to play another game.
The No. 10-seeded Seminoles staved off elimination against Coastal Carolina in a marathon game that took nearly 22 hours to complete after a pair of weather delays impacted the playing surface at Dick Howser Stadium.
FSU won 2-1 thanks to an RBI single from Nathan Cmeyla and a solo blast from Cal Fisher, alongside elite pitching from Wes Mendes and Trey Beard, the Seminoles top two starters. It sets up an elimination game against Northern Illinois.
St. John’s bludgeoned the Huskies, 21-8, in the winners’ bracket game to advance to the Tallahassee Regional final on Monday, awaiting the winner of the losers’ bracket game. The Red Storm beat the Seminoles in the Tallahassee Regional opener, 6-5. It was the second-most runs scored in a regional for St. John’s in program history.
The Seminoles will look to survive another elimination game and book a spot in a third consecutive regional final. FSU has won both regionals in which the program has appeared under head coach Link Jarrett, and seeks a third in comeback fashion.
