In his second year, he led the Seminoles to their second best start to a season in school history and a return to the tournament, with the Seminoles setting records in a super regional game for runs scored and margin of victory and advancing to their first world series appearance in five years, becoming the second Florida State head coach to both play and coach for the team in the college world series.
