FSU maintains No. 5 spot in poll
The Florida State baseball team maintained its No. 5 spot in the Baseball America poll that was released on Monday.
FSU (35-10, 14-9 ACC) played just two games due to final exam week and weather over the weekend, splitting a shortened weekend series with NC State.
Tennessee is the new No. 1 in the BA poll, moving up two spots after a series win at Florida. Texas A&M, Arkansas and Clemson are the top four teams. The Tigers picked up a series win over Georgia Tech.
FSU is No. 7 in the Perfect Game poll. Tennessee is No. 1, followed by Texas A&M, Clemson, Kentucky, Arkansas and ECU.
FSU dropped one spot to No. 8 in D1Baseball's updated Top 25 after the 1-1 week. Tennessee also moved to the No. 1 spot in D1's update and ACC rival Clemson is back up to No. 2. There are seven ACC teams in this week's D1 Top 25, including five straight from FSU at No. 8 through Wake Forest at No. 12.
Two streaks of note
Third baseman Cam Smith needed just one pitch to extend two of FSU’s longest streaks – he hit a 428-foot home run in the first inning, his 10th of the year, to push his on-base streak to 55 games, tied with Tyler Holt (2008) for the 7th-longest in FSU history.
It was also the 20th consecutive game FSU has hit a homer, extending the longest streak in school history. FSU has hit a home run in 41 of 45 games in 2024.
Up next
FSU will host Jacksonville on Tuesday at 6 p.m. (ACC Network Extra). It's the final $2 Tuesday promotion of the season. Fans can purchase tickets and select concessions for $2.
The Seminoles will then travel to Pittsburgh for a three-game series that begins on Friday.
