The winner will face the winner of the game between No. 4 seed Georgia (44-15) and Mercer (35-27).
Martin has won more than 2,000 games -- the most of any sport in NCAA history -- and been to 16 College World Series, but he has yet to win a national title.
Florida State's NCAA tournament berth will be its 42nd consecutive appearance -- the longest active streak in Division I college baseball.
The Seminoles have won at least 40 games in each of Martin's 39 previous seasons. Florida State needs four more wins to reach that mark in 2019.
