Tennessee has played well the entire season, leading to a championship victory at the SEC Baseball Tournament. The Volunteers continued their postseason run by dominating their regional at the NCAA Baseball Tournament. The team won all three regional games by six or more runs, including victories over Southern Miss and Indiana.

The Tennessee squad faced some adversity in the Knoxville Super Regional, as they were forced into an elimination game against #4 Evansville. However, the Volunteers cruised to a 12-1 victory and secured their spot at the 2024 College World Series.

Tennessee has been incredibly hot at the plate in this tournament, scoring eight or more runs in each game thus far. Although, they have struggled to get defensive stops during some matchups. So, the Volunteers will likely play in some high scoring games over the weekend.

Florida State is a team that can match Tennessee’s firepower on offense, as the Seminoles have scored 46 runs in their last three games. This includes a 24-4 victory over #3 UConn in the Tallahassee Super Regional. So, Florida State should be entering tonight’s game with a lot of confidence at the plate.

This will be Florida State’s first College World Series appearance since 2019, and the team is still searching for its first national championship. With this in mind, the Seminoles will likely start the game with a lot of intensity and excitement.
