1. Against The Opponent

2. Switch Hitting Sequera
Senior shortstop
Abraham Sequera pulled off the unusual feat of hitting a home run from both sides of the plate in the same game Tuesday against Florida … Sequera hit a solo shot from the right side in the 5th inning before belting an opposite field two-run home run from the left side in the bottom of the ninth … to boot, it was career home run number one and number two for Sequera … he also leads the league in home runs.
3. Streaking Sweatt
Freshman
Aidan Sweatt has appeared in all five games so far this season … he's had plate appearances in four of those games and is on a four-game hitting streak … the Fernandina Beach, Fla., native has two doubles, a triple and is slugging .500.
4. Highway Robbery
Outfielder
Blake Marabell robbed an FSU home run in the season opener, colliding with the wall on a dead spring … Marabell hung on and was eventually recognized by SportsCenter and NCAA Baseball as one of the top five plays for week one of baseball.
