Did Florida State advance to the College World Series? Taking a look at the Seminoles' 2024 MCWS performance

Florida State University's baseball program is arguably one of the strongest this season. Despite finishing third in the ACC regular season, their strong 47-15 overall record earned them the No. 8 national seed and the opportunity to host an NCAA Regional.

After a convincing performance in the Tallahassee Regional, where they beat the UCF Knights 12-4 in the championship game, the Seminoles took on the UConn Huskies in the Super Regionals, who had surprised many by winning the Norman Regional. This was the first time since 2017 that FSU hosted an NCAA Super Regional.

The No. 8 national seed sent a strong message in Game 1 with a record-breaking 24-4 victory. The Seminoles' 24 runs set an NCAA Super Regional record, and the 20-run margin was the largest ever.

Florida State hit five home runs in the game. James Tibbs III and Marco Dinges led the scoring by driving in four runs each, while Jamie Ferrer and Deamez Ross drove in 3 runs each, adding to an incredible hitting display at the Dick Howser Stadium.

The Huskies started strong in Game 2, taking a 2-0 lead in the first inning with Luke Broadhurst and Korey Morton driving in a run each. However, Tibbs derailed their hopes of tying the series by driving in 6 of the Seminoles' 10 runs.

He brought the Seminoles level with a two-run homer in the third inning before giving them the lead with another two-run homer in the fifth. Dinges scored a solo home run soon after to give them a 5-3 lead. The Huskies ensured it was a back-and-forth game by scoring three runs in the sixth. However, Florida State contained their threat with a fine display to seal the series.

The Virginia Cavaliers soon followed the Seminoles by sealing their spot in the College World Series after sweeping the Kansas State Wildcats in the Charlottesville Super Regional a few hours later. Six spots remain in the College World Series which will begin in Omaha on June 14th.
