For the first time this season, the Florida State baseball team will not be able to play a complete ACC series.
The scheduled second game of the series between No. 7 FSU (34-10, 13-9 in ACC) and No. 20 NC State (26-17, 13-9) Saturday night was canceled due to poor field conditions and a pending weather forecast and will not be made up. As such, the Seminoles and Wolfpack will play the second and final game of the series Sunday afternoon at 12:30 p.m. at Dick Howser Stadium with the game broadcast on ACC Network Extra.
After NC State won the series opener 8-7 Friday night, FSU needs a win Sunday to split the two-game series. The Seminoles will turn to junior lefty Carson Dorsey (3-2, 3.95 ERA) to start the series finale on the mound while NC State is starting sophomore lefty Dominic Fritton (3-3, 6.89 ERA). Fritton has 54 strikeouts over 48.1 innings of work this season but he's also allowed 32 walks and 13 home runs.
