The Hurricanes return to action on Wednesday against FAU before a ginormous series Vs the hated Seminoles.

This week's schedule:

Wed, Apr 22 FAU 13 19 Coral Gables, Fla. 6:00 p.m.
Fri, Apr 24 Florida State * 13 12 Coral Gables, Fla. 7:00 p.m.
Sat, Apr 25 Florida State * 13 12 Coral Gables, Fla. 7:00 p.m.
Sun, Apr 26 Florida State * 13 12 Coral Gables, Fla. 1:00 p.m.

(Note: All of the games can be heard on WQAM, and Saturday's game can be seen on ESPNU)

On the 24th they will also unveil a statue commemorating legendary former Coach Ron Fraser:

Hopefully returning home, and the emotional week ahead, sparks them back to the hot play that led to 9 straight wins before this past weekend.

Losing 2 of 3 on the road to UVA dropped them from 9th to 13th in Baseball America's Poll.

They also dropped from 2nd to 3rd in the All Important RPI
