Both teams have a 1-1 record at the 2024 College World Series, making this afternoon’s matchup an elimination game. Even though North Carolina and Florida State play in the ACC, they have not faced each other this year. So, this should be an exciting matchup to watch.

North Carolina has found a lot of success this postseason due to their incredible defense and pitching, as their lone win in Omaha finished with a 3-2 scoreline against Virginia. However, the Tar Heels mightily struggled against the Tennessee Volunteers on Sunday, losing the matchup 6-1. So, North Carolina will need to perform much better offensively to keep their championship hopes alive this year.

The Seminoles enter this matchup with one of the best offenses at the College World Series, as they have scored 18 runs during their two games at the event. Florida State was on fire against the Volunteers, scoring 11 runs and holding a three run lead in the ninth inning. However, the Seminoles threw their lead away and conceded four runs in the inning to lose 12-11. Despite this devastating loss, Florida State was able to regroup and eliminated Virginia 7-3 on Sunday.

Since Florida State has been dominant offensively, North Carolina’s pitching will have to be phenomenal to keep this game competitive. Otherwise, the Seminoles could easily jump out to an early lead and never look back.
