Florida State baseball’s ACC tournament quarterfinal opponent is set as the Seminoles begin the chase for a ninth conference tournament title at Truist Park in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The Seminoles (38-16, 19-11 ACC) enter the tournament with the No. 3 seed and fresh off a series win over Miami to close out the regular season, which earned the program a double bye.
Here’s who the Seminoles will open postseason play against.

The Seminoles will play Pitt, with the game set for Friday, May 22.
The Panthers beat Wake Forest 7-4 in the second round of the tournament with a game that started on May 20 and ended at nearly 2 a.m. on Thursday, May 21. The Panthers took advantage of two Demon Deacon errors and 11 walks, which helped Pitt build its four-run lead and lean on its bullpen.
This is the second time the Seminoles will play the Panthers this year. In the regular season, FSU swept Pitt, with ACC Pitcher of the Year Wes Mendes throwing a complete game in game one of the series. The Seminoles outscored the Panthers 24-10 in the sweep, with outfielders John Stuetzer and Brody DeLamielleure a big part of that success.
