Elimination stakes rise in Florida's capital
The Tallahassee Regional will conclude on Saturday with a single elimination game that pits the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers against the No. 12 Florida State Seminoles. The winner will earn a berth in the Starkville Regional, while the loser’s season will end.
Florida State entered the tournament with a 38‑18 overall record, but its opening contest ended in a loss to St. John’s. The Seminoles were credited with the defeat by pitcher John Abraham, adding pressure to rebound quickly.
Chanticleers rely on recent offensive firepower
Coastal Carolina arrives with a 37‑22 record and has been bolstered by a strong performance from Dean Mihos, who homered and drove in four runs in the team’s last outing. The Chanticleers hope that timely hitting can offset the pitching setback they experienced against Northern Illinois.
The game is slated for a 2:00 p.m. Eastern start and will be carried live on the ACC Network, giving fans across the country a chance to follow the high‑stakes matchup. Both programs will look to fine‑tune their strategies before the next regional begins.
