Stetson will be looking to break an 11-game losing streak against Florida State when the teams meet in Tallahassee on Wednesday night at Dick Howser Stadium.

The game, scheduled for a 6 p.m. first pitch, will stream live on the ACC Network Extra.

The game was supposed to be the second in a two-game mid-week series, but the first game was canceled because FSU was over-scheduled for the year. The teams are scheduled to play again next week in DeLand.

Hatters coach Steve Trimper is winless in five previous games against the Seminoles, all of which came during his tenure at the University of Maine. His Bears dropped a pair of games to the then fifth ranked Seminoles in 2011 and were swept in a three-game series against an eighth ranked FSU squad in 2012.

Trimper enters play this week three wins shy of 500 for his career.

The Hatters dropped both games against FSU last year, losing 8-5 and 8-6 in two games played in Tallahassee. The teams tried on two different dates to play in DeLand, but rain forced the cancelation of both games. Tonight's game will be the first for the Hatters against an unranked Florida State team since at least 1992.

Stetson will call on freshman left-hander Austin Bogart (0-3, 8.47) to make his fifth start of the year on the mound. In his last outing, in relief against USF last week, he allowed a run on two hits over three innings of work with a career-best six strikeouts.

In his four starts this year, Bogart has posted an 8.73 ERA with eight walks and 12 strikeouts over 11.3 innings of work. Walks will play a huge role in tonight's game. Hatters pitchers have allowed 156 walks this year, 4.08 per 9 IP, while FSU hitters have drawn 232 free passes, which ranks second in the nation behind Mercer (237).

Walks were the problem last weekend against Kennesaw State as the Hatters issued 20 in the series while KSU pitchers allowed just four.

Bogart will be opposed by FSU junior right-hander Will Zirzow (1-1, 3.42). It will be his first career appearance against the Hatters.

The Hatters enter this week ranked second in the nation in total strikeouts with 385. USF (387) held the national lead last week, due in part to the 14 strikeouts the Bulls posted against Stetson. Arkansas (384) is third, followed by UL Lafayette (378) and Oklahoma (377) in the top five. Stetson is fifth in strikeouts per nine innings, averaging 10.1 per game. USF leads the nation with 10.6 K/9.

Stetson junior Brooks Wilson is currently second in the nation with 85 Ks so far this year. He trails the Citadel's J.P. Sears by two entering the week. Sophomore Logan Gilbert ranks seventh with 81 Ks and Jack Perkins is tied for 13th with 75. There are a total of 27 players across the nation with at least 70 strikeouts this year. No team other than Stetson has more than one pitcher with at least 70 strikeouts this year. The next strikeout recorded by Wilson will be the 200th of his career.

Stetson has a record of 6-6 on the season when a Hatters player hits a home run. The Hatters are just 3-9 on the year when their opponents hit a home run.

Senior Tyler Keller enters play this week two pitching appearances shy of 100 for his career, which would tie him for fifth in Stetson history with Joe Dye. Stetson's all-time career record for pitching appearances is 151 by Tom Hickox from 1988-91.

Sophomore Kirk Sidwell has been the Hatters' hottest hitter over the last five games, batting .400 (6-for-15) with three RBI over that stretch. As a team, the Hatters have hit .267 over the last three games in going 2-3.

Stetson's weekend starting pitchers allowed 11 earned runs in 18 innings of work for a 5.50 ERA in the series against Kennesaw State. The bullpen stepped up in the series, allowing four ER in 9 IP.

Following the game in Tallahassee, the Hatters will travel to Spartanburg, SC, for a three-game weekend series against ASUN foe USC Upstate. Friday's series opener is scheduled for a 6 p.m. start.
