The Florida State Seminoles baseball team is riding high after a weekend sweep of a top-10 Louisville Cardinals baseball squad. In total, FSU has run off four straight wins, all over ranked opponents. Up next for the Seminoles? A fifth straight ranked opponent by way of the Georgia Southern Eagles.
GSU moved into the 25th spot in the national polls after winning four straight of their own. The Eagles have won six of their seven overall including a series win over a ranked Texas State team. For the season, Georgia Southern has picked up four wins over ranked opponents and are 24-11 overall. Where FSU has had mixed results during the midweek the Eagles have had more consistency, compiling a 6-2 record.

*17 comeback W - 11 when down by 2+ (3x 5+)
*11 W when trailing at some point after the 6th
*7-1 in 1-run games, 15-2 in games decided by 3 or less
*15-3 @ JI Clements w/10 st W - longest since '09#FindAWay https://t.co/SQuovbixB2
GSU doesn’t really have a fourth starter and has been piecing it together in the mid week. That’s been working out for them as they have good wins over Georgia Tech, Georgia and Jacksonville. With Carson Montgomery moving to the Sunday role for FSU and Ross Dunn likely in the lab for a few weeks FSU will probably take a similar approach. Jackson Nezuh will be the first up for the Seminoles.
Mike Martin Jr. says that Jackson Nezuh will start tomorrow’s game vs. #25 Georgia Southern. Nezuh is the “freshest” arm with the most experience as a starter.
