It's rivalry week in Tallahassee, and the stakes couldn't be higher. Florida State baseball is set to host Miami for their final regular-season series of the year, kicking off Thursday, May 14, at Dick Howser Stadium. This isn't just any matchup—it's a classic showdown between two programs with deep history and plenty of fireworks expected.
The head coaches, Link Jarrett and J.D. Arteaga, add an extra layer of intensity. Both are former players who once faced off on the diamond, and for Jarrett, this series marks the 43rd time he's either played or coached against the Hurricanes. That kind of familiarity breeds respect—and competition.
FSU holds a commanding 164-137-4 all-time record against Miami, and the Hurricanes haven't won in Tallahassee since 2016. But with so much on the line, both teams are hungry. The No. 11 Seminoles (36-15, 17-10 ACC) can lock up a top-four seed and a double-bye in the ACC tournament with a series win. Meanwhile, Miami (35-15, 15-12 ACC) is looking to break that decade-long road drought and play their way into the same favorable tournament position.
