We have an exciting College World Series matchup, which is a rematch of their first game in Omaha this year, as the Tennessee Volunteers take on the Florida State Seminoles. If Tennessee wins, they would advance to the College World Series Finals but if Florida State picks up the victory, there is a win-or-go-home on Thursday.
The Vols are coming off a 6-1 win on Sunday over the North Carolina Tar Heels while the Seminoles won an elimination game against the Tar Heels on Tuesday, 9-5. When these teams met earlier in the College World Series, the Vols won 12-11.
Tennessee is expected to send senior left-hander Zander Sechrist (4-1, 3.26 ERA) to the bump, and he is coming off a win over the Evansville Purple Aces where he threw 6.1 innings and allowed one unearned run on six hits with zero walks and six strikeouts.
Florida State will counter with sophomore southpaw Jamie Arnold (11-3, 2.98 ERA) as he is coming off a no-decision against the Tennessee Volunteers where he pitched five innings and gave up six runs (four earned) on eight hits with four walks and four strikeouts.
