GAME 4 - #1 Florida State Seminoles vs #3 Samford Bulldogs
PITCHING PROBABLES:

OFFENSES:
Fans are starting to get a little disgruntled with the offense of the Noles and rightfully so. While they were able to get 10 runners on base yesterday it seemed that coming up with a timely hit was impossible to come by. But it is the playoffs and this is a good offensive ball club, if they keep up the approach all season I have no doubt that the runs will come.
If there was any doubt to the legitimacy of the Samford offense they were put to rest Friday afternoon. I realize that Stratton had terrible command of his pitches but the mistakes he made the Bulldog sluggers took advantage of. This lineup features seven right handed hitters so it will be very interesting to see how the freshman lefty approaches them and if he can make it through this tough lineup multiple times.
WEATHER:
There doesn't seem to be any issues, game time temperature will be about 85 degrees and dropping once the sun goes down. No forecast for rain at all.
