We had to wait an extra day due to weather but the most anticipated Florida State baseball series in recent history is set to get underway Saturday afternoon.
The 12th-ranked Seminoles (19-0, 3-0 in ACC) put their undefeated record on the line in their toughest test of the season so far, a weekend series at No. 4 Clemson (19-2, 2-1). Friday's game was delayed due to weather and the teams will now play a doubleheader Saturday starting at 1 p.m. Game 2 will begin an hour after the conclusion of the first game.
Despite the shuffled schedule and the fact that FSU's weekend series next week is pushed up a day from Thursday through Saturday due to Easter being on Sunday, FSU is keeping the same weekend rotation vs. the Tigers. FSU is using Friday starter Cam Leiter (4-0, 3.37 ERA) in Game 1 of the doubleheader vs. Clemson LHP Ethan Darden (3-0, 4.76 ERA over 11.1 innings. Game 2 will see FSU Saturday starter Jamie Arnold (5-0, 0.33 ERA) vs. an unknown Clemson starter as Darden was not in the Tigers' projected rotation.

Both games Saturday will be on ACC Network Extra, unfortunately a loss of what was supposed to be a nationally broadcast game Friday night on ACC Network. I'll have updates below for both games once they get underway.
