Florida State University's baseball series finale against James Madison University on Sunday, February 15, has been canceled due to severe weather expected to move through the Big Bend region. The game was initially moved to an earlier 11 a.m. start time, but was ultimately canceled before a pitch was thrown as a cold front and squall line are forecast to bring strong thunderstorms, heavy rainfall, and the possibility of a brief tornado to the Tallahassee area.

Why it matters

The cancellation of the series finale is a disappointment for fans who were looking forward to seeing the 2-0 Seminoles take on James Madison, but player and fan safety is the top priority given the severe weather threat. The Seminoles will now have an extended break before their next game, a midweek matchup against Jacksonville on the road.

The details

Florida State baseball's series against James Madison was originally scheduled for a 1 p.m. first pitch on Sunday, February 15. However, with the severe weather forecast, the game time was moved up to 11 a.m. in an attempt to avoid the storms. But before the game could even begin, it was ultimately canceled as the strongest storms are expected to move into the Tallahassee area between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. on Sunday.
