This will mark the third time in the last four years that the Spartans will play the Tides, with the latter holding a 2-0 series edge. The Tides won 6-0 in 2010 and 1-0 in 2011. This will also be the Spartans' fourth straight year playing a game at Harbor Park, one of the most acclaimed minor league baseball stadiums in the country. NSU played cross-town foe Old Dominion there last season.
