Florida State baseball’s series finale against James Madison on Sunday, Feb. 15, has been cancelled as severe weather is expected to move through the Big Bend.
Tallahassee could experience strong thunderstorms that could bring damaging winds, heavy rainfall, and the possibility of a brief tornado as a cold front and squall line move through North Florida.
The strongest storms are expected to move into Tallahassee between roughly 11 a.m. and 6 p.m, which forced the Seminoles (2-0) to cancel the series finale. Gametime was initially moved to 11 a.m. to try to avoid the storms, but before a pitch was thrown, the game was put into a weather delay before being canceled.
FSU went 2-0 in the series, outscoring JMU by a combined 21-6.
Noah Sheffield’s two-RBI single in the eighth inning pushed No.16 Florida State baseball past James Madison 5-1 on Friday, Feb. 13, at a sold-out Dick Howser Stadium on Opening Day.
In game two, the top four of FSU’s lineup, Brayden Dowd, Noah Sheffield, Myles Bailey and Cal Fisher went a combined 12-for-14 with 11 RBI and four extra base hits alongside five walks to lead the Seminoles to a 16-5 run rule win.
The Seminoles will spend the next week on the road, traveling to Jacksonville for a midweek showdown with the Dolphins. Following the midweek road contest, FSU heads to Arlington, Texas, for the Amegy Bank College Baseball Series at Globe Life Field.
FSU will face Michigan, Auburn, and Nebraska, while in Texas, a strong early-season test.
