Hey Seminole fans! Georgia Tech is in town this weekend to play #12 FSU and this series has heavy ACC implications. The unranked Wramblin’ Wreck are looking to sting the Seminoles on their way through ACC play. Will GT continue to flirt with a fielding percentage record? Have the Seminoles found their stride after a 16-4 drubbing of the rival Gators?
Key players to watch:
Georgia Tech:
#22 Micah Owings. At 6-5, 225 the Yellow Jacket sophomore is a beast in the cleanup position this season. He has 12 home runs (2nd on the team has five) and 44 RBIs. He’s also the probable Friday night pitcher.
#3 Eric Patterson. He’s batting .333 and has 28 stolen bases. If he’s on base, the Seminoles had better pay attention to him.
Florida State:
#4 Stephen Drew. Do I really need to say anything here? Just watch some video of his towering home run against the ‘Gators.
#22 Rhett James. The new Sunday starter has been pitching well and shutting down the opposition’s bats. He only has 1 loss on the season and 53Ks. Sounds good for Seminole fans.
Friday’s and Saturday’s games will be televised live on Sunshine Network at 7pm. All three games can be heard in Tallahassee on 1270AM WFLA. If you have time stop by the Sports Deli near Doak Campbell stadium and pick up a sausage burrito before the game!
