Florida State\u2019s<\/a> season is on hold. The Seminoles\u2019 NCAA Regional elimination game against Coastal Carolina<\/a> was delayed Saturday afternoon due to inclement weather in the Tallahassee area.\u00a0<\/p>\n

***UPDATE*** \u2013 After two delays, the game has been postponed<\/a>. It will pick up on Sunday where it left off on Saturday, with a game time later to be announced.<\/p>\n

The delay comes at a critical moment for the Seminoles, who are fighting to keep their postseason alive after suffering a heartbreaking 6-5 loss to St. John\u2019s in Friday\u2019s regional opener. Florida State entered Saturday needing some victories to win the Tallahassee Regional and advance to a Super Regional for the third straight season.<\/p>\n

Florida State\u2019s path became significantly more difficult after letting a late lead slip away against the Red Storm. The Seminoles carried a 5-2 advantage into the eighth inning before St. John\u2019s rallied for four runs over the final two frames to steal the victory.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe reality is we absolutely are (in this position), there\u2019s no way around it,\u201d Florida State head coach Link Jarrett<\/a> said<\/a> following Friday\u2019s loss via Warchant<\/a>. \u201cBut it does allow you to enter the building tomorrow knowing you have a very capable arm.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Seminoles turned to ace left-hander Wes Mendes in Saturday\u2019s elimination game, hoping to keep their season alive against a Coastal Carolina team that also dropped its opening contest of the regional. The Chanticleers fell 12-10 to Northern Illinois on Friday night despite mounting a late comeback effort.<\/p>\n

Florida State entered the regional as the No. 10 overall national seed after posting a 38-17 record and finishing third in the ACC standings. The Seminoles were hosting a regional for the 38th time in program history and entered the weekend with hopes of making another deep postseason run. Those aspirations now hang in the balance.<\/p>\n

The winner of Saturday\u2019s elimination game will remain alive in the double-elimination regional format, while the loser will see its season come to an end. With rain now creating another obstacle, Florida State will have to wait a little longer before learning whether its season can continue.<\/p>\n

Updates regarding the weather delay and an official restart time will be provided once announced by NCAA officials and Florida State athletics.<\/p>\n
