After starting the season playing in uncharacteristically bad form, the Florida State baseball Seminoles, complete with some position changes, seem to have hit stride here at the right time as a potential trip to Omaha looms.Although the Orlando Sentinel felt compelled to place the Gators baseball victory on the front page today, it was Florida State that assaulted the record books in destroying Ohio State by four touchdowns and a field goal, 37-6, after calling the dogs off in the fifth inning.
Among the 12 records set were NCAA tourney records for hits, runs and total bases and an NCAA record for doubles in a game with 15. The record for individual hits in a postseason game with seven was recorded by shortstop Stephen Cardullo.
Back in December, I had a chance to visit with Coach Mike Martin, which is always a pleasure. After coming up short in Omaha last year and losing the nations best player in Buster Posey to MLB, it seemed a tall climb for FSU to make it back to Omaha this year. For now, the Seminoles still have to get through a Super Regional to get there. But, it looks like the bats are alive and kicking, and I am hungry for a visit to Gorat's Steakhouse myself. Go 'Noles
