Jamie Arnold, the junior left-handed pitcher for FSU, was named ACC Pitcher of the Week for the second time in his career after an impressive performance in the second half of Saturday's doubleheader sweep at No. 25 Virginia Tech. Arnold pitched seven innings, allowing one run on four hits with nine strikeouts and two walks, securing his first win in nearly a month. Following struggles in previous road starts, Arnold showed improvement, allowing only one run on six hits over 12 innings in recent games against Wake Forest and Virginia Tech.
Despite Arnold's individual accolade, FSU's pitching staff as a whole demonstrated excellence in the series sweep at Virginia Tech. The team's pitchers limited the Hokies' offense to four total runs over 27 innings, striking out 26 batters and walking 10. The No. 7 Seminoles, with a record of 28-7 and 11-4 in the ACC, aim to maintain their momentum in upcoming games against USF and Virginia after overcoming pitching challenges in recent weeks.
