Florida State University's baseball team (46-15, 17-12 ACC) is making history as players prepare to take on the University of Connecticut in FSU’s 18th NCAA Super Regional tournament.
The Noles clinched their first regional final in seven years on Sunday, after defeating the University of Central Florida, 12-4.
“Proud of what the city got to enjoy and the way this event was put on," FSU baseball coach Link Jarrett said after the 12-4 win over UCF in the regional final.
"It hasn't happened here in awhile. I thought everything was frontline and front class. I thought the fans added such a touch to this.”
