Florida State Faces North Carolina in Elimination Game at College World Series: A Battle of the Best

The Florida State Seminoles are set to face the North Carolina Tar Heels in an elimination game at the College World Series. After defeating Virginia 7-3 in a well-rounded performance, they earned the right to stay in Omaha. Offensive standout Jamie Ferrer hit two homers, while pitcher Carson Dorsey kept Virginia’s hitters in check for over seven innings to secure the win.

In their upcoming game, the Seminoles will face yet another ACC opponent, North Carolina, in a do-or-die match. Florida State has a historical record of 73-38 against North Carolina, with their last meeting resulting in a Tar Heels sweep. However, this time around is different as the winner of this game will then face Tennessee and will need to win twice to reach the College World Series championship round.

The Tar Heels had to overcome LSU in a fourth game with a tenth-inning to secure their place in the College World Series after defeating West Virginia. UNC faced Tennessee and lost 6-1 with only one run scored. The elimination game between Florida State and North Carolina is set to begin at 2 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on ESPN.

Florida State has not announced their starting pitcher yet, while North Carolina is expected to start RHP Aidan Haugh with a 4-2 record and 4.53 ERA. Notable players for UNC include CF Vance Honeycutt, LF Casey Cook, and RF Anthony Donofrio who are all expected to play crucial roles in this matchup between No. 4 UNC and No. 8 FSU. This game will be broadcast on ESPN with radio coverage on the Seminoles Radio Network and stats available on Statbroadcast
