CORAL GABLES — Miami baseball wants to send a message, and that starts with its final regular-season series against rival No. 11 Florida State.

It's on everyone's mind, but the Hurricanes are still one of the best sleeper teams in the country. They are sitting right at the edge of a two-seed and being a high three-seed, but it also comes down to what they want to do and where they want to be.

"The way I see it, it's a great opportunity to go to a top-ranked team on the road, and make a statement," J.D. Arteaga said. "Our schedule in the ACC, we have missed some of those top teams, that's just the way the schedule worked out, but now we have an opportunity to show what we can do."

However, the postseason is not on the Canes' mind. They have a top-15 road series this weekend, and that takes all of their attention.

Moreover, superstar player Myles Bailey has been out for a while, and the Semionles have been just as good without him. The Hurricanes have a similar story with their star hitter, Daniel Cuvet, still out with a stress fracture.

However, with the Canes, they have the ACC Player of the Week, Alex Sosa, and star slugger Derek Williams to man the middle of the lineup, along with the rest.

This is the biggest series of the season for the Canes, and a victory over one of the best teams in the country would give them a massive RPI boost and give them a slight chance of hosting a regional.

Last Time Out, Florida State: The Seminoles squeezed out a series victory over Clemson, climbing the rankings in a comeback victory. Pitching continues to be a plus for the Noles while their offense still hums without Myles Bailey.

Last Time Out, Miami: The Hurricanes rounded out a series victory against the Louisville Cardinals with an impressive showing from their bullpen. The Canes let up a few early, but after that, the biggest weakness of the season was the one that pushed them over the edge, along with an outstanding performance from the ACC Player of the Week, Alex Sosa.
