The postseason is upon us for the Florida State baseball team.
The Seminoles (37-13, 17-10 in ACC) earned the No. 2 seed in this week's ACC Tournament at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park in Durham, N.C. They open play Friday at 3 p.m. in the quarterfinals against No. 7 seed Duke (37-18, 17-13) on ACC Network.
FSU and Duke didn't play during the 2025 regular season but this will be a rematch of last year's ACC Championship Game, which Duke won 16-4 last May in Charlotte.
A source told the Osceola Thursday afternoon that FSU will start junior ace Jamie Arnold (6-2, 2.59 ERA) in its quarterfinal matchup vs. No. 7 seed Duke Friday at 3 p.m.
Duke is starting junior LHP Owen Proksch (2-2, 4.21 ERA).
FSU all but definitely needs a win Friday in order to stay alive for a top-eight national seed in the NCAA Tournament. The Seminoles likely need two wins in Durham to feel optimistic about a top-eight seed.

I'll have updates from the home office once the game gets underway from Durham.
