Florida State 4 Miami (FL) 2
DURHAM, N.C. – A four-run first was all Florida State (42-14) needed in holding on for a 4-2 victory over Miami (36-19) Thursday afternoon on the second day of the ACC Baseball Championship inside the Durham Bulls Athletic Park, home of the Tampa Bay Rays Triple A affiliate the Durham Bulls. The Seminoles held the Hurricanes to just two runs on four hits in evening the season series at two games a piece.
With the win, Florida State moved to 2-0 in Division A and clinched a spot in Sunday’s championship game. The Seminoles will play for the conference title for the eighth time in school history and for the first time since defeating Georgia Tech for the league crown in Salem, Va., in 2004. In the four years that Durham has hosted the ACC Championship, the Seminoles have found their way in the championship game three times.
The win snapped a four-game losing streak to Miami on neutral soil, while it was the first victory over their intra-state rival in the ACC Tournament.
