FSU Baseball Stuns ACC Rivals: Seminoles’ 9th-Inning Walk-Off Propels 2025 NCAA Tournament Charge

Florida State baseball is surging into the heart of postseason play, and Seminole Nation can feel the momentum building in Tallahassee. The 2025 squad under head coach Link Jarrett has already surpassed last year’s win total, finishing the regular season 37-13 overall and 17-10 in ACC play to lock up the No. 2 seed in this week’s conference tournament. With NCAA Regional hosting rights squarely on the line, every pitch from here forward carries national-title implications. Strong finish sparks NCAA Regional buzz Florida State closed the regular slate with series wins over Clemson and Miami, vaulting the Seminoles to a projected top-eight national seed according to most bracketologists. The selection committee values late-season RPI surges, and FSU has delivered, jumping into the top 10 behind a 12-3 record since late April. A top-eight seed would guarantee the Noles home-field advantage through Super Regionals, a pivotal edge inside Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium. Ace rotation built for tournament baseball • Jamie Arnold (9-1, 2.21 ERA) owns the ACC’s best strikeout-to-walk ratio and has not allowed more than two earned runs in a start since March. • Lefty Cam Leiter (7-2, 3.06 ERA) offers a power-slider that neutralizes right-handed lineups in spacious postseason parks. • Freshman phenom Jackson Baumeister (5-1, 3.44 ERA) provides swing-and-miss depth as the third starter, critical in four-day regional formats. Offense led by veteran core Preseason All-American third baseman Cam Smith (.356, 18 HR) headlines an order that leads the ACC in slugging percentage. Senior outfielder Jaime Ferrer (.328, 14 HR) and transfer DH Nick Kurtz (.311, 12 HR) give Jarrett a relentless middle-of-the-lineup trio capable of erasing deficits in one inning. What to watch in the ACC Tournament FSU opens quarterfinal play against seventh-seeded Duke, a club it swept in April while outscoring the Blue Devils 29-11. A win positions the Seminoles for a semifinal clash with either North Carolina or Virginia, two Top-15 RPI opponents that would add further résumé polish. Jarrett plans to keep Arnold on normal rest for Saturday’s potential title game, signaling “all-in” pursuit of the program’s first ACC crown since 2018. Path to Omaha NCAA Regionals begin May 30, with sites announced Sunday night. If the Seminoles secure a national seed, Regional and Super Regional rounds would run through Tallahassee—where FSU is 24-4 this season—before the College World Series opens June 13 in Omaha. Jarrett emphasized postseason readiness after the regular-season finale: “We built this roster for June baseball. The arms are fresh, the bats are peaking, and our fans deserve the chance to pack Howser all the way to Omaha.” Key dates • May 23-26: ACC Tournament (Durham Bulls Athletic Park) • May 26, 9 p.m. ET: NCAA Selection Show (ESPN2) • May 30-June 1: NCAA Regional, potential host—Tallahassee • June 6-8: Super Regional (if FSU advances) • June 13-24: College World Series, Omaha Why FSU baseball is trending Google Trends shows a 180 percent spike in “FSU baseball” searches after the Seminoles clinched a top-two ACC seed, reflecting rising national intrigue around Jarrett’s second-year turnaround. With postseason brackets looming and Omaha dreams alive, expect search traffic—and Dick Howser crowds—to soar even higher in the coming weeks. The bottom line Dominant pitching, veteran power, and a favorable path put Florida State firmly in the national-title conversation. Seminole fans craving trophy #9 should clear their June calendars—this team has the tools and the swagger to make a deep run.
