Summary

Florida State baseball lost to Pitt in the ACC Tournament, which may impact their postseason seeding.

Our Reading

The habit gets a new name: “Controversy in the ACC Tournament.”

Pitt’s Mike Bell argued with the umpire, and the next call was a ball, leading to a three-run homer. The ACC didn’t use an automated ball-strike system, which could have prevented the controversy. The loss may cost Florida State a Top 8 national seed. The win might be enough to get Pitt into the tournament.

Florida State baseball’s postseason hopes took a hit, and it’s all because of a few questionable calls.
