SERIES HISTORY
NC State and Florida State have met 109 times in program history, with the Seminoles leading the all-time series, 75-34.
The last time the teams met was on May 20-22, 2021, in Raleigh, and NC State captured wins in the first two games to take the series. Game one was won in walk-off fashion when Luca Tresh hit a two-run home run in the bottom of the ninth, and then the Pack held off a late rally by the Seminoles in game two to clinch the series with 6-4 wins. Florida State salvaged the series with a 15-11 victory in what was a slugfest between both squads.
The last time the teams played a series in Tallahassee was on May 17-19, 2018, and Florida State took the series with 4-3 (11 inn.) and 6-3 wins in the first two games, but NC State avoided the sweep with a 5-3 result in the finale.
NC State has won three of the last four series between the squads.
