Florida State baseball faces Miami in its final regular-season series of the year, with the rivalry action from Dick Howser Stadium set to begin on Thursday, May 14, in Tallahassee.
It’s a series and a rivalry that has produced fireworks and plenty of classic games, with both programs’ head coaches, Link Jarret and J.D. Arteaga, former players who once lined up against each other on the diamond. For Jarrett, the first game of the series will be the 43rd time he’s played or coached against the Hurricanes.
FSU holds a 164-137-4 record all-time against Miami, which has not won in Tallahassee since 2016. There is a lot riding on the series for both programs, with ACC tournament seeding implications for both the No. 11 Seminoles (36-15, 17-10 ACC) and Hurricanes (35-15, 15-12 ACC).
The Seminoles can lock up a top-four seed and a double-bye in the conference tournament with a series win, and Miami could play its way into the same scenario if it beats FSU at home for the first time in a decade.

FSU baseball injury report: John Abraham out, Chase Williams could return
The Seminoles will be without ace reliever John Abraham, who was injured in FSU’s series-opening win over Clemson. Jarrett said on Wednesday, May 13, that Abraham had a “side thing,” but his arm is “fine.”
Outfielder Chase Williams hasn’t played since leaving the Seminoles April 29 game against USF after an injury following a swing attempt. He is listed as probable on FSU’s ACC-mandated injury report, and Jarrett said the energy that Williams brings is a valuable resource to the team.
Miami’s Daniel Cuvet remains out with a stress fracture in his back. There are no other injuries to report for the Hurricanes.
