For the Florida State baseball team, this season has taken an unexpected and unwelcome turn over the last few weeks.
Four weeks ago, the Seminoles were the top team in the country entering their matchup with Florida in Gainesville. Starting with their loss that evening, though, the Seminoles are 8-10 since, falling out of the polls for the first time in most of them since 2009.
Now, FSU is looking to avoid being swept in the regular season by UF for the second consecutive season.
