FSU (21-3, 5-1 ACC) is set for game 1 of the series at Notre Dame (13-9, 1-8) on Friday at 4:30 p.m. All games this weekend will stream on ACC Network Extra.
LHP Jamie Arnold (3-1, 2.92 ERA) is back in his Friday night role and will face ND sophomore RHP Jack Radel (1-3, 7.65 ERA).
The three obvious storylines:
How has FSU handled all of the road games, down to Miami and UF in Jacksonville to the flight up to Chicago and playing in South Bend?
Can FSU bring its own energy after playing in four rivalry atmospheres?
How does Arnold look after his worst outing of not just the season but since his freshman year? He's been so consistent throughout 2024 and his five starts this spring. He was scratched from one start and pitched in game 2 down at Miami, but how does he look and can he settle into the rhythm on Fridays and as the tone setter on the mound for the Seminoles?
Not concerned about Arnold. Just saying it's a storyline.
Curt's preview takes a look at FSU's rotation, which is back to where it stood on Opening Day, as well as notes on a few players.
