Florida State (30-5) plays host to Mercer (18-16) on Tuesday at 6 p.m. at Dick Howser Stadium. FSU is 8-1 in April and has won five straight games.
Mercer doesn't really have a notable midweek win. The Bears did knock off Oklahoma State once in a doubleheader that was part of a three-game weekend series.
FSU will be without catcher McGwire Holbrook for tonight's game (Holbrook was ejected from the Miami game last weekend). He stated on social media that by NCAA rule he will not be able to play and can't be in the dugout either. Holbrook posted that he could join the Animals in Section B.
(As an aside the NCAA fixed the targeting ejection so you don't have to go to the locker room and can stay on the sideline now ... but a catcher who is suspended can't be in the dugout. Sigh, don't change NCAA.)
If you haven't already, check out my story on the first few weeks of April. FSU has done quite well despite the short rest and being short-handed on the mound.
FSU has also moved up a few spots in the rankings, to as high as No. 5 by Baseball America.
We'll have starting lineups and you can chat with us in the thread below
