NCAA Florida State FSU To Host Super Regionals
FSU To Host Super Regionals
From Seminoles.com:
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - After winning three straight games in the NCAA Norwich Regional, Florida State advanced to the Super Regionals for the third year in a row and for the 10th time in school history. On Monday night, the NCAA Division I Baseball Committee announced that Florida State was selected as one of eight institutional hosts for this weekend's Super Regional play. Florida State (45-17) will welcome the Vanderbilt Commodores (45-18) to Tallahassee for a best-of-three game series beginning on Friday, June 11.
A minimum of 45 hours of super-regional television will be provided by family of ESPN channels, ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU. Consult local listings for specific games shown in each area of the country. As many as 15 national broadcast windows could appear on the three ESPN networks from June 11-14. The Seminoles and Commodores will square-off for the first time since meeting in a three-game series in Tallahassee back in 1972. Florida State leads the all-time series at 2-1. The Super Regionals will mark the first postseason showdown between these two schools. The complete schedule for the Tallahassee Super Regional is listed below: Friday, June 11, 2010 Saturday, June 12, 2010 Sunday, June 13, 2010 Tickets information for the Tallahassee Regional is as follows: Tickets will go on-sale beginning Tuesday, June 8 at 8:30 a.m. online at Seminoles.com, over the phone at 888-378-6653 and in-person at the main Seminole Ticket Office at Doak Campbell Stadium. Only full-series tickets will be sold in advance. A limited number of reserved Grand Stand tickets will be available for $35 each. General Admission bleacher seats will be available for $25 each.
Game 1: Vanderbilt vs. Florida State - 12:00 p.m. (ESPN2)
Game 2: Florida State vs. Vanderbilt - 1:00 p.m. (ESPN)
Game 3: (if necessary) - 1:00 p.m. (ESPN)
FSU will be back in the friendly confines of Dick Howser Stadium in an attempt to make another run at Omaha and the elusive CWS Title. Vandy comes in with a similar record and is used to playing elite competition, so they should not be taken lightly. Time will tell if these proven "road warriors" can get it done on their home turf or if their potential status as a dark horse ends this weekend. Look for superb pitching and stellar defense to lead the way, and the Noles making the most of their hits to win this series. I see this one going all three games, with FSU's lone loss coming on Saturday (but feel free to prove me wrong and sweep the series in 2-games). I'm looking forward to cheering FSU onto another CWS-birth.
