Florida State baseball swept The Citadel Bulldogs in a three-game series this past weekend, 6-2, 2-1, and 2-0. Despite a slightly sluggish start to the season with two losses to Auburn and Michigan, the Seminoles remain a strong contender and are in D1Baseball’s Top 25 poll.
Like the college football and basketball polls, D1Baseball’s poll ranks the best teams in the country. Last week, Florida State was ranked at No. 21 in the country with a record of 4-2. This week, at 8-2, they have risen to No. 20 in the country. They are sandwiched between No. 19 Tennessee, which is 8-3, and No. 21 Kentucky, which is 9-2.
The Seminoles will look to bolster their record and ranking when they welcome the Jacksonville Dolphins to Tallahassee for a Tuesday matchup; this will be the second meeting between the two teams, and they will meet once more on May 5.
Tuesday’s game versus Jacksonville starts at 6 p.m. ET, and fans can watch it on the ACC Network Extra. They will also play Mercer on Tuesday before hosting Northern Kentucky for a three-game series on the weekend.
