College Football Playoffs

The last time the Panthers beat Florida State University in a baseball game, FIU’s winning pitcher had not been born yet. In the first of a three-game series, FIU snapped its 22-year losing streak against the Seminoles after 13 hits led the Panthers to an 8-5 win on the road in Tallahassee, Fla. FSU was last ranked No. 8 in the country by National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association of America. On Saturday, however, FSU managed to silence the bats that dominated them the night before, beating them 3-1 despite multiple chances by FIU to score.
