Entering Friday’s first game of the Athens regional in the 2019 NCAA baseball tournament, the FSU baseball team was in a rare position as the Seminoles were the No. 3 seed in the region – the first time in the 40 appearances under head coach Mike Martin that the Noles entered the first game of the tournament as the away team.
The Noles (37-21) were very quick to turn things around in a season that had them wondering if you would see some garnet and gold in the tournament as FSU baseball used a season high 20 hits to get an opening round 13-7 victory over Florida Atlantic and put themselves in the driver’s seat in the region.
