It’s the weekend, Florida State fans.
As you get set for a big day, check out our daily rundown.
Lead Story
For the first time in ACC play this season, Florida State baseball is in the win column.
The Seminoles picked up their first ACC win on Friday night by topping ranked Virginia, 2-0. The star of the show for FSU was starting pitcher Parker Messick, who worked eight shutout innings.
Over his eight innings, the FSU lefty yielded just three hits and no walks while striking out 11 at Dick Howser Stadium. The game’s lone runs came in the third inning as Robby Martin singled home a run before a misplay in the outfield allowed a second to score. That was all Messick needed.
With the win, FSU improved to 3-4 on the season and 1-3 in ACC play. The Seminoles will try to clinch the series with Virginia when the teams play at 2 p.m. ET on Saturday. The contest cane be seen on ACC Network Extra.

In its final event before the NCAA Championships, FSU cross country finished third at the FSU XC Last Chance.
