For the FSU baseball team, the date April 9th could be enough to make them cringe – after getting swept yet again in the regular season by rival Florida, the Seminoles were slumping after losing 12 of their previous 18 games and the questions began about if the final season under head coach Mike Martin would end with a postseason berth.
Fast forward exactly two months and the season will end with a trip to the postseason – but it didn’t end in Athens, Georgia and it for sure didn’t end in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Instead, the garnet and gold will take their 22 wins over the last 30 games on the Omaha as one of the elite eight in college baseball.
