The final weekend of the Florida State baseball regular season is here. And it arrives with plenty of stakes.
No. 2 FSU (36-11, 16-8 in ACC) hosts No. 4 North Carolina (37-11, 16-10) for a three-game home series at Dick Howser Stadium that begins Thursday night at 7 p.m. on ACC Network.
FSU enters the final series of the regular season atop the ACC standings with a half-game lead over NC State. The Seminoles are looking for their first regular-season ACC title since 2012. However, they can finish anywhere between first and seventh in the ACC depending on this weekend's results at FSU and elsewhere.
Thursday's series opener is expected to be a pitching duel between the two top contenders for ACC Pitcher of the Year in FSU ace Jamie Arnold (5-1, 2.29 ERA) and UNC starter Jake Knapp (10-0, 2.03 ERA).

I'll have updates once things get rolling on what should be a really fun night at Howser.
