"We are excited to have the opportunity to play the Phillies at one of the best spring training facilities in all of baseball," said FSU Head Coach Mike Martin.

"
This will be the first game for Florida State versus a Major League Club since 2001 when the Seminoles played the Florida Marlins. This will be FSU's first-ever game versus the Phillies and the program's ninth all-time meeting with a Major League club.
