We have to be on our best game to beat Samford. They are a senior-led team with good pitching and they can hit. Stratton can shut them down, and FSU doesn't have out of this world pitching.
FSU's #1 pitcher- if they save him:
Mike Compton
10-2 record
15 starts/75 IP. He's basically going five innings per start.
2.88 ERA, 52 K, 26 BB
In ACC games only: 6-1, 3.59 ERA.
If they don't save him, their #2 pitcher is:
Brandon Leibrandt
6-2 record
15 starts/80.1 IP. Roughly the same innings/start
2.91 ERA, 64 K, 25 BB
In ACC games only: 3-1, 2.41 ERA.
So basically, there isn't a big drop from their #1 to #2. Once they get to their #3, its not competitive. They lost a few Sunday games.
