FSU baseball game thread: Virginia, Friday 6 PM

The Florida State baseball team enters Friday’s weekend series with No. 14 Virginia in Tallahassee the winners of five of their last six games, most recently a midweek win at Stetson on Tuesday. For the hopes of hosting another NCAA Regional to continue, though, winning two of three games from the Hoos seems almost necessary.

The pursuit of that begins on Friday with the series opener slated for a 6 PM start.

The entire series will be broadcast on ACC Network Extra with a radio broadcast with play-by-play announcer Eric Luallen on 106.1 FM in Tallahassee and on Seminoles.com.
