Florida State reached the ACC Championship for the fourth straight season after defeating Clemson last night in come back fashion. Louisville defeated Pittsburgh earlier on Saturday and will play in their first title game since joining the conference four years ago.

The Seminoles are no slouch in ACC Tournament Championship games as they have lost just one game in their last 15 appearances but Louisville will be a tough opponent as Cardinal pitchers have only surrendered four runs in the ACC Tournament. With three wins this week the Seminoles have improved their chances of a top eight seed, a championship today would assure one.

FSU Overall: 42-17 // ACC: 16-13 // Neutral: 3-1 // Last 10: 9-1

Louisville Overall: 43-16 // ACC: 18-12 // Neutral: 5-0 // Last 10: 9-1
