Thompson, VCU Shut Out Florida State, 3-0.
Seminole junior Drew Carlton allowed a pair of runs over 5.2 innings.
TALLAHASSEE, FL - Opening its 70th season in school history, the Florida State baseball team fell 3-0 to visiting VCU Friday evening at Dick Howser Stadium. Sophomore Jackson Lueck recorded the Seminoles lone hit in the first inning, and FSU starter Drew Carlton allowed just two runs on nine hits in 5.2 innings.
The season opener for both teams remained scoreless through four innings before VCU scored a pair of runs in the fifth. Paul Witt's RBI double scored Haiden Lamb, who reached on a one-out single to first base. Witt came around to score on Darian Carpenter's sacrifice fly to right field.
Three times the Seminoles had a pair of runners on base, but came up empty each time. In the first, Lueck singled and Cal Raleigh walked, but both were stranded. In the fifth, now trailing by two, Matt Henderson opened the frame with a walk and Taylor Walls added a second walk with two outs, but Lueck's strikeout ended the frame.
In the seventh, freshman Nick Derr, who replaced junior college transfer Rhett Aplin in right field earlier in the inning, reached second on a throwing error and Henderson was subsequently hit by a pitch. Freshman J.C. Flowers, the starting centerfielder, grounded into a double play and Hank Truluck, hitting for Tyler Daughtry, struck out.
VCU's final run was scored on Carpenter's single up the middle in the seventh.
VCU's starting pitcher, Sean Thompson, allowed one hit in five innings of work, striking out six and walking three. Matt Jamer followed with three innings of no-hit ball, while preseason All-American Sam Donko, the nation's leader in saves in 2016 with 20, picked up his first of 2017 with a perfect ninth inning.
Behind Carlton, the Seminole bullpen used four pitchers, including Chase Haney, Andrew Karp, and Alec Byrd combining to end the game with 2.2 innings of one-hit, no-run baseball.

Lueck, Sands Lead Seminoles to 12-3 Win Over VCU.
Seminoles use 12 hits and 9 walks to even season record at 1-1.
TALLAHASSEE, FL - The fifth-ranked Florida State (1-1) baseball bats came to life a day later than many expected, using 12 hits and nine walks en route to a 12-3 win over VCU (0-1) Saturday afternoon at Dick Howser Stadium. Behind a strong performance on the mound by sophomore Cole Sands (1-0), Florida State rebounded from an Opening Day shutout to the Rams.
"What a difference a day makes," head coach Mike Martin said. "We did a lot of things well, and certainly Cole set us straight early. He had some good, solid innings."
Sophomore Jackson Lueck, who had the Seminoles lone hit in Friday's 3-0 loss, was 3-for-4 at the plate Saturday with three RBI and a run scored. His two-run single in the third inning opened the scoring, bringing in freshmen Tyler Daughtry and J.C. Flowers, who reached on walks. Flowers finished a perfect 2-for-2 on the day with a pair of singles up the middle before being replaced in the seventh inning by Donovan Petrey.
With a 2-0 lead in the fourth inning, junior college transfer Rhett Aplin provided the spark for Florida State with a towering two-run home run to right field. It was Aplin's first hit as a Seminole after finishing with nine last season at Seminole State College in Orlando. All-American shortstop Taylor Walls recorded a pair of doubles, including a two-run double in the fourth, and reached base four times in joining Lueck with three RBI.
"Amazing how a dinger can wake everybody up," Martin said of Florida State's first home run of the season. "A big lift for our ball club, and Aplin is capable of messing up the party."
The visiting Rams plated their first two runs in the sixth inning in chasing Sands, though both runs were unearned on a pair of FSU errors. Sands finished with 5.2 innings pitched, allowing just four hits and two runs. Senior Will Zirzow closed out the sixth with a strikeout and added two more innings of hitless ball. Freshman Drew Parrish closed out the game allowing a run in the ninth inning while striking out a batter.
Florida State responded to VCU's two runs by adding three of its own in the bottom of the frame. VCU closer Ben Nelson loaded the bases before being relieved by Tanner Winters, who allowed all three inherited runners to cross the plate. Dylan Busby's groundout scored a run, while Quincy Nieporte's single off the right field fence plated two.
Daughtry finished without an official at-bat after being walked four times and scoring three runs. His final time crossing the plate came in the seventh inning on Walls' RBI double. Freshman Ryan Mejia, in the first action of his career, pinch hit for Lueck and singled up the middle to score Walls for run No. 12 on the afternoon.
VCU starter Michael Dailey (0-1), who was 6-0 with a 1.57 ERA in 2016, allowed seven runs (six earned) on five hits and five walks in just 3.1 innings pitched.

1,900! Noles Beat VCU for Martin's Milestone Victory.
FSU gets 13 hits and 11 runs to take the series against the Rams.
TALLAHASSEE, FL - Fifth-ranked Florida State (2-1) beat VCU (1-2) 11-3 Sunday afternoon at Dick Howser Stadium, clinching a season-opening series for the Seminoles and earning head coach Mike Martin the 1,900th win of his 38-year career. Martin is the active wins leader and just the second in the sport's history to reach 1,900 career wins.
A Florida State offense that started slow each of the first two games of the season got rolling early, leading 4-0 through two innings. After a perfect top of the first from starter Tyler Holton (1-0, 1.50), junior Taylor Walls walked and sophomore Jackson Lueck singled Walls to third. Walls gave the Noles a 1-0 lead on Cal Raleigh's groundout.
In the second, freshman Nick Derr recorded the first of his three hits, moving senior Matt Henderson to second. Derr was 5-for-8 with a double and three runs scored during his first weekend as a Seminole. Henderson scored on freshman J.C. Flowers' single to left field, and Derr and Flowers both scored on Walls' RBI single to right field, Derr on the hit and Flowers on the error from VCU right fielder Alex Gransback.
"When you look at the weekend, you have to be pleased with the opportunity guys got to display their talent that had not played for Florida State, guys like Flowers and Derr," Martin said.
VCU answered with a pair of runs in the top of the third in the only trouble of the day for Holton. VCU scored a run and loaded the bases on a single, error and two hit by pitches, all with no outs. After the second hit by pitch, a scary 3-0 ball that knocked VCU third baseman Daane Berezo from the game, Holton settled down and struck out the side, keeping the damage to two runs. They would be the only two runs Holton allowed on the day, finishing with three hits allowed and six strikeouts.
VCU's starting pitcher, Brooks Vial (0-1), allowed four runs (one earned) on six hits in 4.0 innings pitched.
In the fifth, the FSU bats again rang, this time against relief pitcher Jonathan Ebersole. Loading the bases with a Quincy Nieporte single and two walks by Henderson and Derr, junior Rhett Aplin plated Nieporte with a sacrifice fly to left field. Henderson and Derr came around to score on Walls' two-run double just inside the first base line, making the score 7-2. Walls, who finished No. 2 nationally in 2016 with 72 runs scored, finished the weekend 4-for-10 with six RBI, four runs, three doubles and four walks.
Nieporte's two-out home run off the left field scoreboard made the score 8-2 in the sixth. Holton gave way to junior Ed Voyles in the seventh. An opening hit by pitch from Voyles came around to score for VCU, the final run of the game for the Rams. FSU responded with an RBI single from Flowers in the bottom of the frame, leaving the Orange Park, Fla., native 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored on the afternoon.
Sophomore Cal Raleigh and junior Dylan Busby opened the eighth with a walk and double, respectively, and both players would come around to score: Raleigh on Nieporte's sacrifice fly and Busby on Henderson's first hit of the year, an RBI single to center field.
FSU closed the game on the mound with scoreless innings from Alec Byrd (8th) and Jim Voyles (9th).
As for Martin, Sunday's win moves him just 75 behind Augie Garrido for the most all-time in college baseball. In his 38th year as the Seminole skipper, Martin is 1,900-672-4.
"Every single coach in our locker room has a lot to do with what has transpired in this program the last 38 years," Martin said of the milestone. "It's been a great ride. We just want that ride to continue to where we're trying to get to. I'm not going to sit here and say it doesn't mean anything. We've had outstanding athletes in our program for some time, and I'm glad we have the opportunity to work with them."
"It's the main reason most of us decided to come here," Nieporte said of Martin's legacy. "To be a part of a monumental win in a legend's career is special. It's an honor."

Karp Masterful in Third Career Start.
Redshirt sophomore set career-highs in innings (7.0) and strikeouts (9).
TALLAHASSEE, FL - Florida State redshirt sophomore Andrew Karp threw nine strikeouts and allowed just three hits over seven innings, but USF scored four runs in the ninth inning to beat the Seminoles 4-2 Tuesday evening on Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium. Karp, who threw just 14.1 innings in nine appearances in 2016, retired the final 12 batters he faced.
"The guy was absolutely gorgerous," head coach Mike Martin said of Karp. "Nine K's, first outing of the year."
In fanning a career-high nine, Karp escaped the only real damage he faced in the second inning, when a pair of two-out singles put runners on the corners. Karp responded by striking out rightfielder Cameron Montgomery to end the inning.
Thanks to a first-inning double play to erase a baserunner who reached on an error and a caught stealing from Cal Raleigh to Taylor Walls, Karp and the Seminoles faced just 23 USF batters through seven innings.
Florida State scored a run in each of the first two innings and held a 2-0 lead heading into the ninth inning. A two-out double from rightfielder Rhett Aplin plated Walls in the first inning. Walls recorded two more walks in the game and now has six in four games this season. For Aplin, it was his second hit of the year after mashing a two-run home run against VCU last weekend.
J.C Flowers knocked in FSU's second run of the game on a fielder's choice to third base. The throw to the plate was not in time, allowing Matt Henderson (who reached on a walk) to score and make the game 2-0 FSU. Through four games, Flowers has three RBI and three runs hitting primarily in the nine-hole.
USF starter Ryan Valdes went three innings, allowed two runs and walked three while giving up just one hit. In relief of Valdes, the USF bullpen went six innings, allowing no hits, one walk and striking out eight. The only Seminole to reach base in the final seven innings of the game was Walls' walk with one out in the eighth inning.
He was subsequently erased on a double play.
USF used three walks, two hit-by-pitches, a single and sacrifice fly to score four runs in the ninth inning. Mark Savarese (1-0) pitching a scoreless eighth inning for the win, and Andrew Perez threw a perfect ninth for his first save.
Alec Byrd (0-1) earned the loss, walking his only batter on five pitches.

Aplin, Busby, Sands Lead Noles in 16-3 Win Over Samford.
Sands threw six K's in first series opening start; Aplin 4-for-5, triple shy of
cycle.
TALLAHASSEE, FL - Three days after getting one-hit for the second time this season, the Florida State (3-2) bats erupted for 15 hits in Friday afternoon's 16-3 win over Samford (2-2) on Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium. Junior Rhett Aplin finished the day 4-for-5 and just a triple shy of FSU's first cycle since 2010; Dylan Busby had four RBI, including three on a towering home run in his first at-bat; and freshman Nick Derr added three more hits to his season total and leads FSU with eight on the year.
"I saw a ballclub, from the very beginning…approach the game in a manner that makes me as a Seminole proud," head coach Mike Martin said. "To get nine runs in the first two innings was aggressive, intelligent. I was proud of our approach tonight."
The sizzling FSU bats were helped on the mound by sophomore Cole Sands (2-0), who threw five innings of three-hit ball, allowing just two runs and striking out a career-high-tying six. For Sands, it was the first series-opening start of his career.
"He didn't go through the motions," Martin said of Sands. "He threw 74 pitches; we wanted him to go 90, but the fact he was coming back a day early (from pitching on Saturday) it worked perfectly. Both of his off-speed pitches were effective."
"I don't try to make it any different," Sands said. "I go out there and compete and play my game."
Junior Taylor Walls was walked on each of his first three at-bats, the 19th-straight game he has safely reached base, just one off his career-high of 20 straight games last season. Walls scored the first of his two runs on Quincy Nieporte's RBI single in the first inning; Cal Raleigh scored on Aplin's RBI double that bounced high over the first baseman's head; and Busby's first home run of the season made the score 5-0 FSU after the opening frame.
Sands allowed his two runs in the second inning, when Kevin Williams, Jr., hit his third home run of the season off the leftfield scoreboard. Williams hit a second home run in the seventh inning and was responsible for all three scores for the Bulldogs. They were the first home runs allowed by the Seminoles this season.
The Noles responded with four more runs in the second inning, beginning with freshman J.C. Flowers' leadoff opposite-field home run, the first of his career. The second of Walls' three walks was followed by quick outs by Jackson Lueck and Raleigh. After a Nieporte walk, Aplin poked an RBI single to right field, followed by Busby's second hit of the evening, an RBI single to centerfield. FSU's fourth run of the inning came on a single from Derr to right field, scoring Aplin, but Derr was thrown out trying to advance on a throwing error by pitcher Jesse McCord (0-1).
The Bulldogs replaced McCord in the fourth with Connor Radcliff, and the Noles tagged Radcliff with five earned runs without recording an out. Aplin hit a two-run home run, leaving him a triple shy of FSU's first cycle since 2010. Four consecutive walks or HBPs scored another run and set up Walls' sacrifice fly. Lueck's RBI single to left field capped the scoring for the inning.
The Florida State bullpen, in its first game after allowing four runs in the ninth inning against USF, had three pitchers make the first appearances of their careers: Grant Stewart (one hit, two strikeouts); Brandon Reitz (one hit, one run allowed, two strikeouts); and Clayton Kwiatkowski (one hit). All three threw one inning on the mound.
Senior Will Zirzow closed out the game on the mound with a pair of strikeouts, including the final out of the game to pinch hitter Grant Colton.
In total, Florida State played 21 players, including seven freshmen. Aplin and Derr were the only starters to finish in the batting order. FSU struck out 12 Samford batters and walked only three, while FSU walked 12 times and struck out only six times. As a team, FSU has walked four more times than it has struck out on the year (35-31).
Raleigh remained perfect against baserunners on the season, throwing out T.J. Dixon in the top of the first inning after he singled to open the game. Raleigh has thrown out both attempted base stealers on the year.
Kyle Cavanaugh, a junior college transfer from Tallahassee Community College, recorded the first two hits of his Florida State career in relief of Nieporte.
Dixon (three hits), Williams (two home runs) and Branden Fryman had all six of Samford's hits. FSU hit .450 (9-of-20) with runners in scoring position.

Holton K's 11 as Noles Blank Samford 8-0.
Senior Quincy Nieporte had five RBI and his second career grand slam.
TALLAHASSEE, FL - Sophomore Tyler Holton allowed just two hits and struck out a career-high 11 as No. 5 Florida State (4-2) blanked the Samford Bulldogs (2-3), 8-0, Saturday afternoon on Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium. Senior first baseman Quincy Nieporte had five RBI, including his second career grand slam, in leading the Seminole offense.
"Tyler Holton was the key," head coach Mike Martin said. "You look at his numbers and, my gosh, two hits and 11 strikeouts. It's pretty easy to see. We only had 16 plays to make in the field. The first play of the game set the tone."
Second baseman Matt Henderson fielded a ground ball running towards second base from Bulldog leadoff hitter T.J. Dixon and threw the speedy Dixon out at first base. After groundouts by Dixon and Branden Fryman to open the game, Holton (2-0) recorded seven consecutive outs via strikeout, with the lone baserunner coming on a walk in the third inning.
Florida State put a pair of runners on base in each of the first two innings, but all four were stranded and the game remained scoreless until FSU broke through with five runs in the fifth inning. Dylan Busby, a late scratch from the starting lineup, entered the game at third base in the fifth inning and walked in his first plate appearance in the bottom of the inning. Taylor Walls followed with a walk, his 20th-consecutive game reaching base, which ties his career high from 2016. Cal Raleigh, who had just one hit entering Saturday, turned a 1-2 pitch into an RBI double off the right field wall to plate Busby. Raleigh finished 2-for-3 on the afternoon.
Junior Rhett Aplin, who hit .500 with a pair of home runs in his first five games as a Nole, was then intentionally walked to load the bases for Nieporte. Nieporte turned on the 1-0 pitch from Samford's Mikhail Cazenave (1-1) and sent it high over the left field wall for his second career grand slam and second home run of 2017.
"It was real nice, especially with the outing Tyler was having," Nieporte said of his 14th career home run. "Our lineup is dangerous from top to bottom."
With a 5-0 lead, Holton allowed just one baserunner in each of the sixth and seventh innings and struck out the final two batters he faced. Holton finished with 11 strikeouts in seven innings. It surpassed his previous career-high of nine against Miami in the ACC Tournament last season, and is the most for a Seminole since Mike Compton had 11 against Coastal Carolina late in the 2015 season.
FSU added a run in the sixth inning, when Nieporte again came up with the bases loaded and reached on a fielding error by third baseman Taylor Garris. The Noles capped the scoring in the eighth inning, with Nieporte recording his fifth RBI of the game on an RBI single through the left side to score Donovan Petrey. Freshman Tyler Daughtry, who reached on his first career hit, scored when leftfielder Kevin Williams misplayed the ball.
Jim Voyles closed out the game with a pair of scoreless innings, allowing just three hits and striking out a pair of batters.
Through six games, the Florida State pitching staff has compiled a 2.00 ERA, allowing just 12 earned runs while striking out 59 and walking 14.
For Samford, Cazenave was solid through four innings before slipping in the fifth. He finished with five earned runs allowed in 4.1 innings. Williams, who had two home runs Friday night for the Bulldogs, had two of Samford's five hits on Saturday.

Noles Complete Sweep of Samford with 13-4 Win.
Freshman Drew Parrish allowed a run and struck out six in his first career start.
TALLAHASSEE, FL – Behind two-hit baseball from Drew Parrish (1-0) in his first career start, Florida State (5-2) completed a weekend sweep of Samford (2-4) with a 13-4 win Sunday afternoon on Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium. Parrish struck out six Bulldogs without allowing a walk in six innings, and Jackson Lueck tied a career high with five RBI on the day.
“The way that we played, the focus we showed, was very impressive,” head coach Mike Martin said of the weekend sweep. “I can’t say enough about the way we approached it. I’m pleased with the effort. Glad we were able to get everyone in the ballgame again.
“Seven games doesn’t make a season, but I’m pleased with how we played these last three.”
In his first start, Parrish didn’t allow a baserunner until the fourth inning and faced 19 batters in recording his 18 outs. The Rockledge, Fla., native threw just 69 pitches.
“Sometimes you look out there at a guy making his first start in this arena,” Martin continued. “He shows signs of intimidation. He wasn’t intimidated by anything. He was playing baseball.”
“My nerves were kicking a little bit, but I found a way to calm down and pitch the way I needed to pitch,” Parrish said.
The Seminole offense got going quick against the Bulldogs on Sunday, leading 5-0 after two innings. Freshman J.C. Flowers made the score 2-0 with a bases loaded single to left field, scoring Rhett Aplin and Quincy Nieporte. After a walk to Taylor Walls reloaded the bases, Lueck knocked a bases-clearing double to left field to make the score 5-0 FSU.
“I felt like I was too aggressive early on, so I was trying to slow myself down,” Lueck said. “I wanted to see the ball as long as I could, and I was fortunate to put a good swing on it.”
Walls had three walks on the day, increasing his streak of reaching base to a career-high 21 games. He has 13 walks in seven games in 2017.
Parrish’s only trouble on the day came in the fourth inning, when Samford’s T.J. Dixon doubled to open the frame and scored on an RBI single by Branden Fryman. Parrish settled down after that, forcing a double play to retire Fryman and a popup to catcher Cal Raleigh to end the inning.
In the bottom of the fourth, Flowers walked and senior Matt Henderson reached on an infield single, and both runners advanced a base on a passed ball by catcher Ben Carrick. Lueck notched his fourth RBI of the day on a sacrifice fly to score Flowers, and Henderson followed on a balk by Jones to make the score 7-1. Raleigh hit his second double in two days and scored on a throwing error by third baseman Ryan Crockett.
In the fifth, FSU added a run on Henderson’s sacrifice fly to score Dylan Busby, who walked and stole a pair of bases to get into scoring position.
After Parrish retired the side in order in the sixth inning to wrap up his day, Chase Haney entered in the seventh and stranded runners on the corners without any damage.
In the seventh, FSU scored its final four runs on just two hits. Freshman Tyler Daughtry opened the inning with one of his three walks on the day, and Flowers added his second hit with a single to left field. After Daughtry was thrown out at third trying to advance on a passed ball, three consecutive walks by Henderson, Walls, and Lueck plated Flowers to make the score 10-1.
Lueck’s walk was his fifth RBI of the day, tying a career high set last season at Wake Forest.
Raleigh followed with a two-run single up the middle that scored Henderson and Walls, and Nick Derr’s sacrifice fly plated Lueck to cap the FSU scoring.
In the eighth, Samford scored three runs off FSU reliever Alec Byrd before Drew Carlton came and closed out the ninth inning in his first relief appearance since his freshman year in 2015.
Samford starter Stephen Jones (0-1), a Tallahassee native that played at Chiles High School, allowed seven earned runs in 3.2 innings pitched. In total, the Bulldogs used eight pitchers on the afternoon, allowing 12 walks and striking out nine. In contrast, FSU pitchers walked just two batters and struck out nine.
This is the first time since 2011 that FSU has allowed four runs or fewer in each of the first seven games of a season. With Parrish’s quality start against the Bulldogs, Seminole pitchers have combined for a 2.29 ERA in 63 innings.
FSU’s starting pitching is averaging a 1.28 ERA in 42.1 innings in 2017 (six earned runs allowed in seven starts).

Noles Score Three in Eighth to Knock Off JU, 6-5. JACKSONVILLE, FL - Tyler
Daughtry's RBI single capped a three-run eighth inning, and fifth-ranked Florida State (6-2) escaped Jacksonville (5-3) with a 6-5 win over the Dolphins Tuesday afternoon. Jacksonville, looking for
its second Top 5 win in a week, led 3-0 and 5-3 before FSU took its first lead in the eighth. "Any time you win on the road, you've got to be pleased," head coach Mike Martin said. "We got a lot of
effort from all of our guys and the fact we hadn't won here in three years says a lot about how tough this game was." Andrew Karp, FSU's starting pitcher, allowed three runs in the first two
innings, but retired the final 13 batters he faced. Last week against USF, Karp left the game after sitting down the final 12 Bulls he faced. Against JU on Tuesday, Karp had seven strikeouts
against just one walk, the first batter of the game. The Dolphins struck first on Angel Camacho's single in the first inning, the first run Karp allowed this season. In the second, JU added to its
lead on a two-run single from Nathan Koslowski. The inning ended with catcher Cal Raleigh throwing out Koslowski attempting to steal second. Raleigh has not allowed a stolen base in three chances this
season. The Seminoles cut into the lead on Raleigh's first-pitch home run to open the top of the fourth, his first of the season. J.C. Flowers walked and Nick Derr singled to put two runners on
with one out for Matt Henderson. The senior second baseman dropped a sacrifice bunt down that scored Flowers and cut the Jacksonville lead to 3-2. JU starter Casey Kulina left after the fourth
inning, allowing two runs and striking out eight. Against Spencer Stockton, Florida State tied the game in the fifth on Jackson Lueck's second double of the game and Quincy Nieporte's RBI single to
left field. Nieporte has a team-high 11 RBI on the season. In the seventh inning, Karp was replaced with senior Jim Voyles. Mike Cassala opened the inning with a double and scored on Voyles wild
pitch. Koslowski recorded his third RBI of the game on a double to left field that made the score 5-3 Jacksonville through seven innings. Chase Haney (1-0) entered and recorded the final out of the
inning on his only batter faced. The Seminoles took their first lead in the eighth inning, scoring three runs on a hit and three Dolphin errors. Derr and Henderson reached base on walks from Matt
Meyer, prompting the Dolphins to bring in Cassala (0-1) from the catcher spot to pitch. Facing Taylor Walls, Cassala had a failed pick off throwing error to first that scored Derr from second and put
Henderson, the tying run, on third base. Lueck's sacrifice fly tied the game, setting the stage for Daughtry's game-winning RBI. It was Daughtry's second hit as a Seminole. With a one-run lead,
Martin turned to new closer Drew Carlton, looking for a six-out save. The junior pitched a perfect eighth and ninth innings, including a strike out of John Cassala to end the game. "Going in, I
knew they wanted six outs and it's nice having that trust with the coaches," Carlton said. "It was a good experience to get my feet wet with a save opportunity. Against a team like this, it's a
perfect situation for me. To control my emotions was big for me."
Lueck, Nieporte Lead FSU Rally Over Oakland. TALLAHASSEE, FL - Behind four RBI each
from Quincy Nieporte and Jackson Lueck, Florida State (7-2) rallied from a seven-run deficit to beat Oakland (1-8) 18-10 Friday evening on Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium. It was the largest
deficit overcome to win a game for the Seminoles since beating Virginia Tech 18-12 after trailing 10-3 in 2011. "That ball club played extremely well for four innings," head coach Mike Martin said
of the Golden Grizzlies. "Had us 7-0, and then we battled back and got it done. It just goes to show how unpredictable our game is." Starting pitcher Cole Sands struggled early against the Golden
Grizzlies, allowing a career-high seven runs (three earned) on seven hits in just 3.0 innings of work. Oakland raced out to a 7-0 lead through 3.5 innings, leaving a Howser crowd of 4,035 stunned in
the series opener. In relief, senior Will Zirzow pitched 3.0 innings, allowing just one hit and striking out five without allowing a run. His effort in the middle innings gave the Seminole bats
time to heat up and win for a fifth-straight game. "I know if I can do my job, this team never stops fighting," Zirzow said. "Knowing the defense we have and the hitters we have, no game is ever
over." Down 7-0, freshman Tyler Daughtry singled through the left side and eventually came around to score on a wild pitch from Oakland starter Jake Lee. The right-hander would leave after throwing
110 pitches. The Noles chased Lee in the fifth, scoring four runs with two outs. Taylor Walls and Lueck each recorded outs to begin the inning, but Cal Raleigh, Nieporte and Daughtry all walked,
loading the bases for a two-run single from Nick Derr. Derr was the final batter Lee would face, giving way to Nate Schweers. After a passed ball moved Derr and Daughtry up a base, Dylan Busby smacked
a double that scored both runners. On Busby's double, a balk was called that would have scored Daughtry, but the play continued, allowing Busby to record his second double of the season. Florida
State would tie the game in the sixth inning, scoring a pair of runs after again having each of the first two batters record outs. Raleigh's double off the right field wall scored Lueck, who reached
on a single, and Raleigh advanced to third on an error by the catcher. After Nieporte was hit with a pitch, Raleigh would tie the game on a balk from Schweers. In place of Zirzow, Ed Voyles (1-0)
pitched 1.1 innings, recording the final out of the seventh inning prior to FSU taking the lead. Connor Fannon (0-1) was tabbed with the loss for Oakland without allowing a hit, hitting Busby and
walking J.C. Flowers and Rhett Aplin to load the bases. Fannon was replaced by Jared Burkert, who allowed all three runners to score on a wild pitch and a two-run single from Lueck. Leading 10-7
with just one out in the seventh inning, Raleigh walked to reload the bases for Nieporte, who cranked his third home run of the season, and second grand slam, over the left field wall to score what
proved to be the winning runs for the Seminoles and make it 14-7 FSU. "My mentality is the same, whether bases loaded or guys in scoring position with less than two outs," Nieporte said. "I'm
looking to drive something deep - not necessarily hit a home run. My teammates get on base and I'm just trying to drive them in." Senior Hank Truluck, pinch-hitting for Derr, hit his first home run
of the season and second of his career on a shot off the left field foul pole, providing FSU with a 15-7 lead through seven innings. Florida State and Oakland both scored three runs in the eighth
inning before Steven Wells relieved Voyles and closed out the game in the ninth. In total, the Seminoles walked 12 times while striking out just five times; eight players combined for 10 hits, and
only Lueck (three) had more than one hit; and 10 players scored a run in the game for FSU.
Holton K's 13 as Noles Beat Oakland, 12-1. TALLAHASSEE, FL
- Sophomore Tyler Holton recorded 13 of his 18 outs via strikeout Saturday as Florida State (8-2) beat Oakland (1-9) 12-1 on Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium. The Seminoles used 11 hits from
nine different players to move to 9-0 all-time against the Golden Grizzlies. "Our guys played extremely well and extremely hard," head coach Mike Martin said, "and no doubt the key to the ball game
was Tyler Holton. What a great outing he had. Struck out more than two an inning. That's phenomenal." Holton, the reigning ACC Pitcher of the Week after an 11 strikeout performance last week
against Samford, had 13 strikeouts against Oakland in just six innings of work. In three starts this season, the Tallahassee native is 3-0 with a 0.47 ERA, allowing just one earned run in 19 innings
while striking out 32 and walking just four. He is the first Nole since Sean Gilmartin in 2011 to have double-digit strikeouts in consecutive appearances. Holton's 13 strikeouts Saturday are the
most for an FSU pitcher since Luke Weaver had 14 against Troy in the 2013 NCAA Regionals. Holton and Weaver both allowed no walks in their performances. "I was just trying to pound the strike
zone," Holton said. "We know they can swing the bat, especially after yesterday that was pretty obvious. I just wanted to get ahead in the count and use that to my advantage. "I felt great today -
all pitches, all sides of the plate. Having (Cal Raleigh) behind the plate helps with that." A day after trailing 7-0 against the Golden Grizzlies, Holton's performance on the mound gave the
Seminole bats time to warm up in the fourth and fifth innings. In the fourth, freshman Nick Derr, starting at second base for the first time in his career, had an RBI single to score Rhett Aplin,
who opened the inning with a double to left field. Aplin finished 2-for-4 on the afternoon with a pair of runs scored, while Derr was 1-for-2. Derr (.444) and Aplin (.364) are No. 1 and 2 on the team
in batting average through 10 games. Junior Dylan Busby followed with a single that scored Cal Raleigh, and Tyler Daughtry's fielder's choice scored Derr as the Noles led 3-0 through four innings.
Aplin and Busby were the only FSU players with more than one hit on the day. In the fifth, Florida State struck for nine runs on five hits and a pair of Oakland errors to put the game out of reach.
Nine consecutive Seminoles reached base in the inning, starting with Jackson Lueck getting hit by a pitch (one of six times FSU was hit by an Oakland pitcher) and ending with Taylor Walls' three-run
triple, FSU's first of the season. In between, Quincy Nieporte, Raleigh and Daughtry had RBI singles. Meanwhile, Holton continued to dazzle on the mound. Holton struck out at least one batter an
inning, and the Golden Grizzlies reached second base just once - in the first inning, when an error on Derr, a single from Zach Sterry and a wild pitch put runners on second and third with two outs.
Holton got out of the jam with a strike out. Following Holton were three freshman arms making their second career appearances. Grant Stewart walked one and struck out two in the seventh; Brandon
Reitz allowed a pair of hits and a run in the eighth; and Clayton Kwiatkowski allowed a hit and struck out a batter in the ninth. For Oakland, starter Tyler Palm (0-2) allowed 11 runs (10 earned)
in 4.1 innings of work, walking one and striking out two. In the seventh inning, senior Will Zirzow, who kept FSU in the game with 3.0 scoreless innings against Oakland Friday night, pinch hit for
Stewart and singled to left field. It was Zirzow's first career hit in only his second at-bat. The Seminoles improved to 8-2 on the season and 7-2 at Dick Howser Stadium. FSU will go for the sweep
of Oakland Sunday at 1:00 p.m. with Drew Parrish (1-0, 2.45 ERA) on the mound.
Busby, Daughtry Help Noles Sweep Oakland, 14-6. TALLAHASSEE, FL - Freshman Tyler Daughtry was
3-for-3 with three runs scored and three RBIs, and Florida State (9-2) beat Oakland (1-10) 14-6 Sunday afternoon on Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium. The Seminoles outscored the Golden
Grizzlies 44-17 on the weekend, scoring 10 or more runs in all three games of a weekend series for the first time since 2010. "There's a lot to like about the way we played," head coach Mike Martin
said. "Also a lot to improve on. Our pitching was good, and I tip my hat to (Oakland). I was really pleased that we kept battling." Jim Voyles (1-0) earned the win in relief of Drew Parrish, going
3.0 innings while allowing just two hits and striking out five Oakland batters, one shy of his career high. Both offenses came out intent on putting crooked numbers on the scoreboard as Florida
State led 8-5 through three innings. In the first two games of the series, FSU did not score before the fourth inning. The Noles struck first on Quincy Nieporte's sacrifice fly, scoring Taylor
Walls. Walls reached on his 18th walk of the season, extending his streak of reaching base to 25 straight games. Oakland took the lead in the second with three runs off Parrish. Tyler Janish had an
RBI single, and Zach Sterry had a two-RBI single in the inning. Parrish would go four innings on the mound, allowing five runs on seven hits and striking out five. The Oakland lead did not last
long, as FSU scored five in the bottom of the second. Second baseman Nick Derr was hit by a pitch to lead off the inning, the 11th time a Nole batter was hit on the weekend. After Dylan Busby's
single, Derr scored on Daughtry's RBI single. Busby would score on J.C. Flowers sacrifice fly, one of three sac hits (one sac fly, two sac bunts) for Flowers on the day. Walls' second walk of the
day was followed by a bunt single from Jackson Lueck and the ensuing fielding error on the first baseman allowed Daughtry to score. Cal Raleigh hit a sacrifice fly (one of four on the day for FSU),
and Nieporte's RBI single made the score 7-2 FSU. After both teams scored a pair in the third, the bullpen came into play. Behind Voyles' effort in relief of Parrish, the Noles threw Alec Byrd and
Drew Carlton for one inning each. In total, the FSU bullpen went five innings, allowing three hits and one unearned run while striking out seven. For the Grizzlies, Nick Parr (1-2) went 3.2 innings
in his third start of the year, allowing seven earned runs and seven walks to just one strikeout. The OU bullpen of Nate Schweers and T.J. Shook combined for 4.1 innings pitched, allowing six runs on
seven hits and recording three walks and three strikeouts. The Noles capped the scoring with four runs in the sixth and two more in the eighth inning. Nieporte had his third RBI of the day on home
run No. 4 this season. Nieporte finished 2-for-3 with three RBI and a run scored. For the weekend, Nieporte led FSU with a 1.429 slugging percentage, with two of his four hits going for home runs. He
hit .571 with eight RBI, three walks, was hit by three pitches and struck out just once. As a team, the Noles scored 44 runs on the weekend after scoring 37 in three games against Samford February
24-26. It is the first time since 2010 against Hofstra that FSU scored 10 or more runs in every game of a three-game weekend series.
Bullpen Shines in 5-2 Win Over UCF. ORLANDO, FL - Behind an outstanding
effort from the bullpen, third-ranked Florida State (10-2) beat UCF (11-2) 5-2 Tuesday evening at the UCF Baseball Complex, extending its winning streak to eight games. Alec Byrd (1-1) picked up his
first win of the year, and Quincy Nieporte tallied three more RBI's to pace the offense. Starter Andrew Karp left the game after four innings, giving way to Byrd, Chase Haney, and closer Drew
Carlton. The trio combined to allow no hits and just one baserunner (a four-pitch walk from Byrd) and strike out six over the final five innings. FSU took advantage of a pair of UCF errors in the
first inning to take an early 1-0 lead. Taylor Walls led off and reached on a fielding error by the shortstop, and reached third on Rhett Aplin's bunt single that was thrown into centerfield by the
third baseman. Walls would score on Nieporte's groundout, his first RBI of the game and 20th of the season. The Noles added a run in the fourth on Aplin's leadoff double and Cal Raleigh's RBI
single. Aplin finished 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles and a hit by pitch on the day, raising his season average to .387 and his on-base percentage to .500. UCF scored its only two runs of the game
in the bottom of the fourth on Logan Heiser's first home run of the season. It was just the third home run FSU has allowed this season, and the first against Karp. Karp would leave the game after the
fourth, allowing two hits and two runs, walking two and striking out six. The Seminoles answered with the final three runs of the game in the fifth inning against UCF starter Chris Williams (0-2).
After the first two batters went down, second baseman Matt Henderson dropped down a bunt single that began the big inning. Following Henderson, Walls (single), Dylan Busby (game-winning RBI single),
Aplin (hit by pitch) and Nieporte (2-RBI single) reached base to make the score 5-2. Nieporte has a team-high 22 RBI's on the season. With Jackson Lueck missing his first game of the year,
Henderson was a late addition to the lineup. Head coach Mike Martin moved freshman Nick Derr to right field and freshman Tyler Daughtry got his first start in left field. With J.C. Flowers in center,
all three outfield spots were taken by true freshmen. With a 5-2 lead, Byrd entered in the fifth and struck out the side. He finished with four strikeouts in two innings, allowing just one walk.
Haney pitched a perfect seventh, while Carlton pitched a perfect eighth and ninth innings. In two save opportunities this year (also at Jacksonville last week), Carlton has gone 12-up, 12-down in
earning the first two saves of his career. The win moved the Seminoles to 10-2 on the year and eight wins in a row, the longest streak since winning 11 consecutive early in the 2015 season. It was
UCF's first loss at home on the season. Last week, the Knights beat No. 2 Florida 11-2 in Orlando.
Zirzow's Career Day Leads Noles to 5-0 Win Over UCF. ORLANDO, FL -
Will Zirzow set career-highs with seven strikeouts and five innings pitched as Florida State (11-2) beat UCF (11-3) 5-0 Wednesday afternoon at the UCF Baseball Complex in Orlando. Pitching in relief
of starter Ed Voyles, Zirzow (1-0) anchored a bullpen that did not allow a run in 12 innings in two wins against the Knights. "I thought (Zirzow) pitched very, very well," head coach Mike Martin
said. "I thought his composure was excellent. He never got out of himself. He was in total control of his emotions, and certainly gave us a big lift." Expecting to use a number of arms playing
their first Wednesday game of the year, the Seminoles started Voyles and the senior went two innings, allowing three hits and striking out one. Zirzow entered with runners on first and second and no
outs, escaping the jam in the third en route to the best outing of his career, allowing just one hit and striking out seven. Two batters reached base - the first on a single that was erased on catcher
Cal Raleigh's third pickoff of the year, and the second on a throwing error on Raleigh that was erased on a double play to end the sixth inning. "We were hoping to go three with Zirzow," Martin
said. "But as he got to 50 pitches, we said, 'Ah, heck with it.'" Zirzow finished with 67 pitches thrown. Jim Voyles relieved Zirzow, throwing a scoreless eighth inning. Jim Voyles allowed a
pair of runners to reach to open the inning, but the eighth ended on a line drive to third baseman Dylan Busby, who stepped on third to get FSU out of the jam. Drew Carlton pitched the ninth,
allowing a hit and striking out one. Offensively, the Seminoles scored three runs in the third and added two more in the fifth. Like Tuesday, Busby again had the game-winning RBI as his double
scored J.C. Flowers to open the scoring. Junior Rhett Aplin followed with a two-run single to give the FSU pitching staff all the help it would need. In the fifth, UCF pitching walked five batters,
and FSU scored two runs without recording a hit. For the Knights, Chris Sheridan (0-2) pitched four innings, allowing three runs and five hits while walking three and striking out five. The win
was FSU's ninth straight and FSU entered the day with the sixth-longest active winning streak in the country. It is the Noles longest since an 11-game winning streak early in the 2015 season. It is
also FSU's second shutout of the year, having previously blanked Samford 8-0 in Tallahassee on February 25.
Noles Drop ACC Opener to Boston College, 8-5. TALLAHASSEE, FL -
Third-ranked Florida State dropped its Atlantic Coast Conference opener 8-5 to Boston College Friday evening on Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium. The Seminoles (11-3, 0-1 ACC) got home runs
from Taylor Walls and Dylan Busby, but the Eagles (6-6, 1-0 ACC) were able to use the momentum from a five-run third inning to beat FSU for the first time since 2012. "Things are not going to go
your way every night," head coach Mike Martin said. "All you expect out of your team is that they go out there and compete, and we did that." Florida State starter Cole Sands (2-1) worked six
innings, allowing five runs, all in the third inning. The Eagles used six hits and an FSU error to plate all five runs. In his five other innings, Sands allowed just three baserunners - two singles
and a walked batter. The Seminoles responded in the bottom of the third on Busby's second home run of the season and 25th of his career, which scored Walls. After Quincy Nieporte walked on five
pitches, Cal Raleigh grounded into the first of four double plays the Noles would hit in the game. Boston College starter Jacob Stevens (2-0) allowed just four hits in six innings. The score
remained 5-2 until the seventh inning, when the Eagles scored a pair of unearned runs. With a runner on second, a line drive to second baseman Matt Henderson put FSU in position to possibly double up
the runner, but the ball split the webbing on Henderson's glove and flew into right field. After an intentional walk to load the bases, an RBI single from Donovan Casey made it 6-2. Jim Voyles entered
and allowed a sacrifice fly before retiring Michael Strem to end the inning. "It broke the rawhide and went through," Martin said of Henderson's play. "It happens a lot in our game, and ended up
being a big inning for them." Down 7-2, FSU scored its final three runs of the game in the seventh inning on extra-base hits from Walls and Raleigh. After a one-out walk to Henderson, Walls took a
2-2 pitch over the right field wall, his first of the season. After a pair of runs on Friday, Walls has scored 21 times in 14 games in 2017. Busby was subsequently hit by a pitch, and a two-out
single from Nieporte brought Raleigh to the plate. His RBI double scored Busby and moved Nieporte to third, but the two were stranded when pinch-hitter Kyle Cavanaugh struck out looking to end the
seventh. The Eagles added an insurance run in the ninth on Strem's double. With two runners on and no outs, freshman pitcher Grant Stewart replaced Voyles and struck out the next three Boston
College batters. On the season, Stewart has pitched 3.0 innings and has seven strikeouts. Casey moved from right field to the pitcher's mound and pitched a perfect ninth for his first save of the
year. Nieporte and Raleigh both finished 2-for-4, while Walls and Busby had identical 1-for-4 games with two runs and two RBI's. Tyler Daughtry and Henderson each drew three of FSU's seven walks,
while six of FSU's nine strikeouts were called. Five of Boston College's seven strikeouts were of the looking variety. Friday's game is the first time since 2010 that the Noles have dropped an ACC
opener, and the first time since 2012 that FSU has fallen to the Eagles, snapping a 10-game FSU win streak. It also snapped a nine-game winning streak overall, the fifth-longest in the country.
"The way it is is this - Boston College did not make an error and had 13 hits. They deserved to win. Tip your hat and be ready to go tomorrow."
Noles Outscore Boston College 24-1 in Sweeping Doubleheader.
TALLAHASSEE, FL - Third-ranked Florida State bounced back from losing the opening game of its series with Boston College to sweep a doubleheader Saturday on Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium to
win the opening conference series. The Seminoles (13-3, 2-1 ACC) took game one over the Eagles (6-8, 1-2) 11-1 behind home runs from Taylor Walls and J.C. Flowers, and won game two 13-0 with six
scoreless innings from starting pitcher Drew Parrish. Combined in the two games, Florida State hitters walked 19 times and were hit by six pitches, tallied 23 hits (including eight extra base hits)
and scored 24 runs. On the mound, the Noles struck out 21 hitters, allowed just nine hits and one run while walking seven. "When you play the way we played, it makes us, as a staff, very proud,"
head coach Mike Martin said. "The games were very important, as all conference games are. Our guys came out and got it done." "I'm looking forward to seeing what the future holds for us." Game
one starter Tyler Holton (4-0) ran into trouble just once, allowing the only run of the game in the second inning on a single, two walks and a fielding error that made the run unearned. With the bases
loaded, and just one out, Holton struck out the final two batters of the inning. He would go on to retire the next 10 before Michael Strem's single in the sixth inning - the final Boston College hit
of the game. On the season, Holton has now allowed just one earned run in 25 innings pitched, good for a 0.36 earned run average. He finished with eight strikeouts on the day and now has 40 on the
season in four starts. Offensively, FSU struck early and often in giving Holton the runs he needed. Walls walked each of his first four plate appearances, and in his fifth, hit a solo home run over
the left field scoreboard. His four walks tie a career high, and it was his second home run of the season after hitting one in the series opener Friday evening. Catcher Cal Raleigh added three hits
and a pair of runs scored, while left fielder Tyler Daughtry had three hits, two RBI's and a run scored. Nick Derr did not record an official at-bat with three walks and a sacrifice fly, and Matt
Henderson walked each of his first three trips to the plate. He walked in his final three plate appearances in Friday's game. Flowers hit a towering three-run home run in the sixth inning, his
second of the season. Freshman pitchers Clayton Kwiatkowski (two innings) and Brandon Reitz (one) combined to close out the win for FSU. Kwiatkowski had three strikeouts, and Reitz had one before
forcing a pair of line drive outs to end the game. Boston College starter Matt Gill (1-3) allowed four earned runs in just one inning of work. In the second game, Parrish (2-0) threw six
scoreless innings, allowing just six hits while striking out five. Four pitchers combined to sustain the shutout, FSU's third of the season, with Chase Haney, Ed Voyles and Drew Carlton each pitching
one inning. The outing dropped Parrish's ERA to 3.12, while Carlton and Haney have ERA's under two. The offense stayed hot in the second game, leading just 1-0 into the fourth before scoring
multiple runs in each of the next four innings. Walls led off the game with a single, reaching base safely for the 30th consecutive game. He scored on a bases-loaded hit by pitch for Derr. Derr was
hit with a pitch three times in the game, tying an FSU single-game record done three times prior - by Karl Jernigan in 2001, Justin Gonzalez in 2014 and Hayden Kelly in 2015. In the fourth, FSU
effectively ended the game, scoring six runs on three hits, three walks and a pair of hit by pitches. Walls had a two-run single and Raleigh had a two-run double, finishing the day with three doubles.
He has a team-high seven on the season. Daughtry tied his season-high and matched Walls' game one total with four walks, while Henderson had a pair of RBI's without recording a hit - a bases loaded
walk in the fourth and a sacrifice bunt in the fifth. After homering in game one, Flowers added a two-run triple in the second game and finished with five RBI on the day. His replacement, Ryan
Mejia, laced a two-run single to centerfield in his only plate appearance of the game that capped the scoring for the Noles. Game two's 13-0 win is Florida State's largest shutout victory since an
identical 13-0 win over Niagara in 2014. It is also the largest shutout victory over an ACC opponent since beating Duke 13-0 in the 2003 ACC Tournament. It is the fifth straight season FSU has shut
out the Eagles, and FSU now leads the all-time series 30-5. In the fifth inning of game one, first baseman Quincy Nieporte came up lame trying to leg out a grounder to third base. He was replaced
in the field the next inning by Kyle Cavanaugh and Nieporte did not play in game two. Afterwards, Martin said Nieporte was having hamstring issues but hopes he can play in Tuesday's game against No. 2
Florida.

Karp K's 11, But Noles Fall in Gainesville. GAINESVILLE, FL - Andrew Karp pitched seven
strong innings, but No. 1 Florida State dropped a close 1-0 decision to Florida on Tuesday night. In front of 5,800 fans at McKethan Stadium, Karp was brilliant as he gave up just one run in his
seven innings of work. The redshirt sophomore from Winter Park, Fla. walked none and struck out a career-high 11 batters. "We got beat by a team that played very well and they beat a good team that
played very well," head coach Mike Martin said after the game. Karp's earned run average lowered to 2.10 on the season and the right-handed hurler has now struck out 34 batters in 2017 (second on
the team behind Tyler Holton) to just three walks. "Andrew's stock has gone off the chart, what a beautifully pitched baseball game," Martin said on Karp. "He was in total check of his emotions, he
was really, really impressive." "I felt good with everything. Fastball command, the slider and changeup were working," Karp said. "It's one of those games where everything is working and it just
clicks." Karp's fourth straight quality appearance has given his team confidence every time he takes the mound. For Karp, he's just happy to be out there again, playing the game he loves. "It's
crazy to think two and a half years ago I was right down the street at Shands (Hospital) for surgery on my broken leg," Karp said. "Every time I go out there I just feel extremely thankful and blessed
that I even get to play the game. It's more just having fun for me and giving my team a chance to win." While the Seminoles' offense aimed to ignite, Karp's control of the Florida attack kept FSU
in the game throughout the evening. The Gators rarely threatened the Noles' throughout the night, thanks to Karp's steadiness on the mound and some great defensive plays by the defense. On the very
first play of the game, UF's Blake Reese sent a ball into foul territory that Rhett Aplin laid out for a diving catch. It was Aplin's first time playing left field this season. In the third inning,
Tyler Daughtry and Matt Henderson turned a clean 5-4-3 double play to stall the UF threat. FSU had opportunities during the game, most notably in the fifth inning when Nick Derr singled and J.C.
Flowers laid down a perfect bunt for a hit, placing runners at first and second. However, with two outs Matt Henderson flew out to center field to end the Seminole threat. The Noles had another
threat going in the sixth after Taylor Walls singled to center field to start the inning and worked his way to third base in the frame. But the Gators got Cal Raleigh to ground out to end the last
real Seminole chance. Florida scratched the lone run of the game in the seventh inning as Mark Kolozsvary's, check-swing, bloop single with two outs fell in left field to bring home Jonathan India
from second base. Postgame Notes: Noles Fall 5-2 at No. 22 FGCU. FORT MYERS, FL - Florida State lost consecutive
games for the first time this season after Wednesday's 5-2 loss at No. 22 Florida Gulf Coast. Sophomore Cal Raleigh had a pair of RBI's in the first inning, but the Seminoles (13-5) left 15 runners on
base, all in the first seven innings, while FGCU (15-3) scored three in the first inning and never relinquished the lead. The game was played in front of 3,397 fans at JetBlue Park, the spring
training home of the Boston Red Sox. "A couple of plays early gave them momentum, and we've got to cut that out," head coach Mike Martin said. "We've got some things we need to work on as a
team." FSU struck first with a pair of two-out runs in the first inning. After Taylor Walls and Dylan Busby struck out, Rhett Aplin and Quincy Nieporte drew the first of FSU's nine walks in the
game. Both came around to score on Raleigh's single. In the bottom of the inning, FSU starter Ed Voyles (1-1) allowed four of the five batters he faced to reach base in earning the loss. The first
two batters singled, and both scored on Eli Lovell's two-run double off the Green Monster in left field. After Will Zirzow replaced Voyles, Lovell scored on a wild pitch that turned out to be the
game-winner. The Seminoles left at least one runner on in each of the first seven innings. In the first, fourth, and seventh innings, FSU left the bases loaded. After not registering a walk in
Tuesday night's 1-0 loss at Florida, the Noles registered nine against the Eagles, and were hit by three pitches, but only Aplin and Nieporte came around to score. FSU's best chance to make noise
came in the seventh inning, when freshmen Tyler Daughtry (walk) and Nick Derr (hit by pitch) reached to open the frame, and advanced on a successful sacrifice bunt by J.C. Flowers. Sensing a need to
score, Martin pinch hit for starting second baseman Matt Henderson, bringing in Jackson Lueck, who had missed each of the past six games due to shin splints. After Lueck walked on a full count, he
was replaced on the base paths with Hank Truluck. Walls and Busby struck out to end the inning, and FSU did not have another baserunner. The Eagles added runs in the third inning on a groundout
from Spencer Levine, and in the eighth on a sacrifice fly from Richie Garcia. Starting pitcher Mario Leon allowed four hits in four innings, and reliever Kenton Hering (3-1) recorded the final two
outs of the seventh and pitched a perfect eighth inning. Sterling Koerner picked up his fifth save with a perfect ninth. Postgame Notes: Seminole Bats, Sands Pitching Lead 9-2 Win at Virginia Tech. BLACKSBURG, VA - Playing outside the state of Florida for the first time this season, top-ranked Florida State beat Virginia Tech 9-2 Friday afternoon at English Field. The Seminoles
(14-5, 3-1 Atlantic Coast) used five extra base hits in the win and hit for the cycle as a team for the first time this season. On the mound, starting pitcher Cole Sands shook off a pair of rough
outings to allow just one run in 5.2 innings against a Virginia Tech (11-9, 1-3) offense that entered the game hitting .300 as a team. "Anytime you see a zero in the [error] column, you have to be
pleased," head coach Mike Martin said. "We played an outstanding game, highlighted by six innings from Cole Sands, who got better as the game went along." On top of allowing just one run, Sands
(3-1) struck out a career-high seven batters, including his final batter of the game, Sam Fragale, who was hitting .408 with eight home runs when Sands got him swinging in the sixth inning. Sands
allowed three hits and walked a pair in his third win this season. "Competitiveness," Martin said of Sands' outing. "He got out there and didn't try to pitch perfect. He just trusted his stuff. It
was a good outing for him." At the plate, catcher Cal Raleigh led the way with a fourth inning home run that got the Seminoles on the board. He added a double in the sixth and also walked twice,
and leads the team with eight doubles on the year. In the sixth inning, Nick Derr walked before Raleigh's double, and Quincy Nieporte followed with a first-pitch RBI single to score Derr and make
the game 2-0. Dylan Busby had a sacrifice bunt RBI to score Raleigh that proved to be the game-winner. After Tyler Daughtry recorded his second of three walks, J.C. Flowers had his second triple of
the season to clear the bases and give FSU a 5-0 lead. In the bottom of the inning, Sands left the game after striking out Fragale with runners on first and second. Reliever Alec Byrd walked the
only batter he faced, and Chase Haney hit the first batter he faced to score Virginia Tech's first run. He rallied to force a pop out to second baseman Matt Henderson to avoid more damage. Virginia
Tech starting pitcher Packy Naughton (1-3) did not return for the seventh inning, and the Seminoles pounced on shaky Hokie relief pitching. Graham Seitz relieved Naughton and allowed an infield single
to Taylor Walls and walked Derr. Kit Scheetz took over for Seitz and walked Raleigh before Nieporte hit his fifth home run, and third grand slam, of the season, pushing the FSU lead to 9-1.
Nieporte is the first FSU player with three grand slams in a season since Seth Miller also had three in 2012. "There were a number of key hits, none bigger than the grand slam by Quincy, but there
was a lot that led up to him having an opportunity," Martin said. "That was an inning that was pieced together leading up to the grand slam. "The triple by J.C. was just as big as Quincy's grand
slam because there were two outs. That was huge." Steven Wells pitched a scoreless seventh inning, and Clayton Kwiatkowski allowed a run on two hits in finishing out the game in the eighth and
ninth innings. Postgame Notes: Nieporte's Fourth Grand Slam Not Enough for Noles.
BLACKSBURG, VA - In a lightning-delayed game that lasted nearly five hours, top-ranked Florida State fell 13-12 at Virginia Tech Saturday afternoon despite home runs from Dylan Busby, Quincy Nieporte
and Rhett Aplin. The Seminoles allowed the Hokies to score 11 consecutive runs to even the series at a game apiece. "One of the windiest games I've ever played in," head coach Mike Martin said.
"Balls that were hit 260 feet were going 360 feet. It was one of the games in which you think you have everything under control with an eight-run lead, but it's baseball, and anything can happen…and
it did." Nieporte's home run in the fourth inning was his second grand slam of the weekend and fourth of the season, setting a new Florida State record for grand slams in a season. Those four runs
followed a six-run third inning, highlighted by Dylan Busby's third home run of the season. Virginia Tech opened the game by getting a pair of runs off FSU starter Tyler Holton in the first inning.
Holton settled down and pitched until the lightning delay with two outs in the fourth inning. Entering the day with a 0.36 earned run average, the sophomore allowed six runs in 3.2 innings, with three
strikeouts and three walks. After the rain delay, Holton was relieved by Jim Voyles, who walked Tufts (credited to Holton) and allowed a three-run home run that cut the deficit to 10-7. The
Hokies took the lead for good in the seventh inning, scoring four runs against Will Zirzow (1-1) in just two-thirds of an inning. Leading 11-10 in the bottom of the eighth, Drew Carlton entered and
allowed a two-out, two-run triple to Joe Freiday that ultimately proved to be the game-winner. For Virginia Tech, Connor Coward (4-0) relieved Joey Sullivan after the rain delay and allowed one
hit, three walks and no runs in four innings of work. In picking up his fourth save of the year, Aaron McGarity allowed a two-run home run to Aplin that closed the gap to 13-12, and Tyler Daughtry
walked and advanced to third on a pair of wild pitches, but J.C. Flowers popped out to center field on the ninth pitch he saw to end the game. Aplin finished 3-for-4 with three RBI's and a pair of
runs, while Nieporte added a two-run double along with his grand slam. His six RBI's are the most for a Seminole this season, and one shy of his career-high seven against UCF two seasons ago. Matt
Henderson and Busby also had two hits, while Daughtry walked three times and Nick Derr had an RBI single, two runs scored and two walks. Postgame Notes: Noles Drop Series Finale at Virginia Tech. BLACKSBURG, VA - For the first time this season, Florida State
lost on Sunday as Virginia Tech topped the Seminoles, 17-0, at English Field in Blacksburg. FSU (14-7, 3-3 ACC) trailed 1-0 entering the sixth inning, but the Hokies (13-9, 3-3 ACC) scored 10 in the
sixth and six more in the seventh to secure the victory. Florida State starter Drew Parrish (2-1) was strong through five innings, allowing just one run, but ran into trouble in the sixth. He
finished allowing eight hits and seven runs while striking out a career-high seven. Virginia Tech's Nick Anderson (4-1) pitched eight scoreless innings before giving way to Kit Scheetz. Junior
outfielder Rhett Aplin led the way for the Seminoles, accounting for three of the Seminoles five hits. He is hitting a team-high .348 on the season. The Hokies scored what amounted to the winning
run on Tom Stoffel's RBI single in the third inning. In the sixth, Virginia Tech sent 16 batters to the plate, scoring 10 runs on seven hits. After chasing Parrish, Grant Stewart and Will Zirzow
also pitched in the inning. The next inning, Alec Byrd and Steven Wells were on the mound when the Hokies scored six runs, sending 12 batters to the plate. FSU's best chance to score came in the
second inning. Aplin's first single of the day was followed by a perfect bunt single from Dylan Busby and a walk to Tyler Daughtry. All three were stranded when J.C. Flowers popped out and Matt
Henderson grounded out to second base. Postgame Notes: Flowers' Walk-Off Single Caps Seven-Run Comeback vs. JU. TALLAHASSEE,
FL - Freshman J.C. Flowers drove a 1-2 pitch from Mike Cassala into left field, scoring Hank Truluck and Jackson Lueck in the bottom of the ninth to cap Florida State's 10-9 win over Jacksonville
(11-12) Tuesday evening on Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium. The Seminoles (15-7) trailed 7-0 before having an at-bat, but clawed back by scoring in seven of nine innings, including three in
the bottom of the ninth to clinch the win. "Falling behind like we did is a clear indication of what kind of club we have," head coach Mike Martin said. "That was an important game - a midweek of
real importance. We had just lost four out of five on a road trip, come home to these fans, and entertain them to a seven-spot deficit. "And yet, to hear that roar when J.C. singled to win the
ballgame, was Florida State baseball. That's all I can say." After last week's road trip which included losses at Florida, Florida Gulf Coast and two at Virginia Tech, the Seminoles quickly fell
behind 7-0 after the Dolphins sent 11 batters to the plate in the first inning. Starter Andrew Karp, the team leader with a 2.10 ERA entering the game, allowed six earned runs in recording just two
outs. Behind him, the Florida State bullpen, which struggled for the final two games at Virginia Tech last week, were stellar on Tuesday night. Jim Voyles allowed a run in the first inning, but
held Jacksonville scoreless for the next three. His brother, Ed Voyles, allowed two unearned runs in the fifth, and Alec Byrd, Chase Haney, Will Zirzow and Drew Carlton (1-1) allowed just two hits and
struck out five in the final 4.1 innings. At the plate, the Seminoles were led by junior Taylor Walls, sophomore Cal Raleigh and Flowers. Walls opened the game with hits in his first four plate
appearances, including a sixth-inning home run to straight-away centerfield that closed the FSU gap to 9-6. Raleigh tied his season high with three hits, including a home run to open the ninth
inning to make the score 9-8. Flowers also had three hits, the game-winning RBI and a run scored. After falling behind 7-0, Walls opened the game with a double and scored on a sacrifice fly foul
out by Tyler Daughtry. The Seminoles got a run in the second on freshman Nick Derr's first home run of his career, making the score 7-2. The Seminoles also got a pair of unearned runs in the fourth
after Lueck, who had not started a game since March 5 due to shin splints, reached on a fielding error and scored on a wild pitch, and Walls' third hit of the game scored Flowers, who had singled.
In the fifth, Jacksonville extended the lead to 9-4 on a passed ball and RBI single. The Noles got one back in the bottom of the frame on an RBI single from Rhett Aplin that scored Raleigh. The
Noles got a single run in the sixth on Walls' third home run of the season and in the seventh on Lueck's RBI single up the middle. In the JU seventh, Haney worked out of trouble as the Dolphins had
runners on first and third with one out. Connor Stephens and Dakota Julylia both proceeded to pop out to Walls at shortstop to end the frame and keep the score 9-6. Both teams struck out the side
in the eighth inning, and Carlton entered in the ninth and threw a perfect inning. Down to the last three outs, the Seminoles used Raleigh's home run to make it 9-8. Quincy Nieporte was hit by the
next pitch and pinch run for by Hank Truluck. After Aplin flied out, Lueck's single advanced Truluck to third and the bases were loaded when Dylan Busby was hit. Matt Henderson, hitting for Derr
after replacing him at second base in the top of the inning, struck out, setting the stage for Flowers' heroics and FSU's first walk-off win since Busby did so against Miami in last year's Atlantic
Coast Conference Tournament. "I approach every at-bat the same," Flowers said. "You feel like you have to do something, but you want to put you team in the best situation to win." Cassala (0-2)
was also on the losing end of Florida State's 6-5 win at Jacksonville last month. Carlton picked up the first save of his career in that game. The win snaps a two-game skid for the Seminoles.
Postgame Notes: 22 Innings Later, Noles Sweep Doubleheader vs. Irish. NOTRE DAME, IN -
No. 13 Florida State swept a doubleheader at Notre Dame Friday, winning game one 8-2 and game two 8-3 in 13 innings in Frank Eck Stadium. Cole Sands (4-1) won game one, throwing seven strikeouts in
six innings, while Jim Voyles (2-0) got the win in game two, throwing the final three innings, allowing just two hits. "That's a class program (Notre Dame), and we're fortunate to win that second
game," head coach Mike Martin said. "I'm just proud to be part of a series like this. Every at-bat was important, and our pitching was good in both games." Friday's doubleheader was finalized
earlier in the morning, with inclement weather looming over the remainder of the weekend. Florida State had to overcome a deficit in each game, trailing 1-0 through three innings in the opener and
2-0 through six innings in the night cap. Dylan Busby's fourth home run of the season, a three-run shot in the fourth inning, gave FSU all the runs it would need in game one. In the second, FSU scored
a pair of seventh inning runs on a passed ball and walk to close the early deficit. Game One: FSU 8, Notre Dame 2 Florida State (16-7, 4-3 ACC) got a career-high six innings and seven
strikeouts from starter Cole Sands (4-1), allowing just one run on five hits. The sophomore was replaced by Alec Byrd, who allowed a hit in an inning, and Chase Haney, who pitched the final two
innings, allowing a run in the ninth. Offensively, FSU got a pair of doubles from Quincy Nieporte, three hits and four RBI's from Busby and two hits, including his first triple, from Nick Derr.
J.C. Flowers was hit by a pair of pitches and added his second double of the season. Game Two: FSU 8, Notre Dame 3 (13 innings) The Seminoles (17-7, 5-3 ACC) used just three pitchers over
13 innings, with Tyler Holton (6.1 innings, two earned runs) paving the way for Drew Carlton (3.2 innings, two hits, seven strikeouts) and Jim Voyles (three innings, one earned run, two hits). FSU

added a run in the frame to cap the scoring. Postgame Notes - Game One: 22 Innings Later, Noles Sweep Doubleheader vs. Irish. NOTRE DAME, IN -
No. 13 Florida State swept a doubleheader at Notre Dame Friday, winning game one 8-2 and game two 8-3 in 13 innings in Frank Eck Stadium. Cole Sands (4-1) won game one, throwing seven strikeouts in
six innings, while Jim Voyles (2-0) got the win in game two, throwing the final three innings, allowing just two hits. "That's a class program (Notre Dame), and we're fortunate to win that second
game," head coach Mike Martin said. "I'm just proud to be part of a series like this. Every at-bat was important, and our pitching was good in both games." Friday's doubleheader was finalized
earlier in the morning, with inclement weather looming over the remainder of the weekend. Florida State had to overcome a deficit in each game, trailing 1-0 through three innings in the opener and
2-0 through six innings in the night cap. Dylan Busby's fourth home run of the season, a three-run shot in the fourth inning, gave FSU all the runs it would need in game one. In the second, FSU scored
a pair of seventh inning runs on a passed ball and walk to close the early deficit. Game One: FSU 8, Notre Dame 2 Florida State (16-7, 4-3 ACC) got a career-high six innings and seven
strikeouts from starter Cole Sands (4-1), allowing just one run on five hits. The sophomore was replaced by Alec Byrd, who allowed a hit in an inning, and Chase Haney, who pitched the final two
innings, allowing a run in the ninth. Offensively, FSU got a pair of doubles from Quincy Nieporte, three hits and four RBI's from Busby and two hits, including his first triple, from Nick Derr.
J.C. Flowers was hit by a pair of pitches and added his second double of the season. Game Two: FSU 8, Notre Dame 3 (13 innings) The Seminoles (17-7, 5-3 ACC) used just three pitchers over
13 innings, with Tyler Holton (6.1 innings, two earned runs) paving the way for Drew Carlton (3.2 innings, two hits, seven strikeouts) and Jim Voyles (three innings, one earned run, two hits). FSU
trailed 2-0 in the seventh, but tied the game on a single, four walks, a hit by pitch and a wild pitch. After both teams went scoreless the next four innings, the Noles took a 3-2 lead in the 12th
on a wild pitch, but Notre Dame hit a pair of doubles in the bottom of the frame to extend the game. In the 13th, Jackson Lueck hit a high pop fly that shifted back into fair territory and dropped
in left field, scoring Dylan Busby. After J.C. Flowers' single, Tyler Daughtry, who hit for Matt Henderson in the ninth, blasted the first home run of his career, giving FSU a 7-3 lead. The Noles
added a run in the frame to cap the scoring. Postgame Notes - Game One: Parrish's Career Day Leads FSU to Sweep of Irish. NOTRE DAME, IN - Freshman
Drew Parrish threw the first complete game of his young career, and Jackson Lueck and Quincy Nieporte each had two runs batted in as Florida State (18-7, 6-3 ACC) completed a three-game sweep of Notre
Dame (7-15, 2-7 ACC) with Saturday's 5-1 win at Frank Eck Stadium. Parrish (3-1) allowed just one unearned run, and Lueck's two-run home run in the first inning was all the support he would need.
"Parrish gave us a huge lift because we used so many arms yesterday," head coach Mike Martin said of using six pitchers in Friday's doubleheader. "That was a big lift. His emotions were under control.
A good lift for him after last weekend. "We were looking for anywhere between 90-100 pitches and six innings. He kept pitching very well and his pitch count was a little more than we anticipated,
but not too much that we're the least bit concerned." Parrish allowed three hits in nine innings while striking a career-high seven and walking just one. Notre Dame's only run against the
Rockledge, Fla., native came in the fourth inning on an error by second baseman Nick Derr. With two runners on and one out, Parrish forced a ground out and Cal Raleigh started a 2-4-3 pick off that
ended the inning. "I was getting ahead and staying ahead early in counts," Parrish said. "I knew they weren't going to chase out of the zone, so I had to attack it and I did that well today."
Only twice, in the fourth inning and again in the ninth, when he pitched through increasing thunderstorms, did Parrish face more than three batters. The only time the Fighting Irish reached third base
was in the fourth inning. Lueck opened the scoring in the first inning with a home run off Notre Dame starter Brad Bass (1-3), an opposite field shot that scored Taylor Walls and put the Seminoles
ahead 2-0 just two batters into the game. Lueck scored a second run in the third inning on Nieporte's team-high 35th RBI of the season. After Walls walked for a second time, Lueck legged out a
grounder and advanced to second on Cal Raleigh's walk. Lueck was safe at home on Nieporte's single when catcher Ryan Lidge could not secure the throw from right fielder Jake Shepski. "Jackson has
changed the complexion of our lineup," Martin said of Lueck's return from shin splints. "When you stick a guy who can do what he does from both sides of the plate back in our lineup, it gives the
opposing team something to think about." Nieporte added another RBI on a sacrifice fly in the eighth inning, scoring Walls from third base. Walls and Lueck each scored a pair of runs in the
game. Rhett Aplin capped the scoring with a ninth-inning home run, his fourth of the season. The win caps a perfect 4-0 week for the 13th-ranked Seminoles, after beating Jacksonville on Tuesday
and sweeping a doubleheader with Notre Dame on Friday. Postgame Notes: No. 12 Noles Fall to No. 9 Florida in Jacksonville. By Ariya Massoudi,
Seminoles.com Contributor JACKSONVILLE, FL - In a pitcher's duel, No. 12 Florida State dropped a 4-1 contest to No. 9 Florida. In front of 8,924 fans at the Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville, the
Gators (17-9) received a strong pitching performance from Garrett Milchin to defeat the Seminoles. The freshman tossed 4.1 innings of shutout baseball giving up just two hits in his outing. For the
Noles (18-8), Andrew Karp received the start and after a tough first inning, pitched exceptionally well for FSU. The redshirt junior, out of Winter Park, Fla., lasted four innings, giving up five hits
and four earned runs. The righty struck out five UF batters on the evening. "To have been through what he's been through (with the car accident), he's a warrior," FSU coach Mike Martin said. "It
can definitely help him (getting back on track), he'll be ready to go for his next start." The Gators scored four runs in the first inning after an RBI single from J.J. Schwarz and a three-run home
run to left field from Mike Rivera. "I thought we were going to get out of it, but we just happened to make a mistake pitch," Martin said. "It happens every night in the big leagues." In the
sixth inning, the Seminoles scratched the scoreboard after Quincy Nieporte doubled down the left field line and Rhett Aplin drove him in with an RBI single up the middle, giving FSU its only run of
the contest. Over the final eight innings, the Seminoles' pitchers held the Gators scoreless giving up just two hits, while striking out eight in the process. At the plate, Jacksonville native
J.C. Flowers led the way for FSU going 2 for 4 with a pair of singles. "This is a proud ball club, they're not happy," Martin said of his team's knack to bounce back after tough losses. "We're
about to have a very challenging stretch of games. We'll see what comes of it." Post game notes: Pitching Duel Tips in No. 8 UNC's Favor. TALLAHASSEE, FL - Sophomore
pitcher Cole Sands allowed just two runs and struck out six for Florida State (18-9, 6-4 ACC), but No. 8 North Carolina (20-6, 7-3) left Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium with a 3-1 win Friday
evening in front of 4,730 fans. Sands (4-2) allowed a pair of third inning runs, and Tar Heel starter J.B. Bukauskas (5-0) allowed a run in seven innings and struck out 10 batters. "We need to
continue to compete, continue to work hard," head coach Mike Martin said. "There's a lot of good things on the horizon for this club. "You tip your hat to Bukauskas. That was beautiful pitching on
his part. He was masterful the way he pitched." Freshman Drew Mendoza, one of the top prospects entering college baseball this season, saw his first action after being sidelined with multiple
injuries in the preseason. Hitting in the six hole, the Minneola, Fla., native was 0-for-4 and started at third base. In what was expected to be a pitcher's duel between Sands and Bukauskas, both
teams left a pair of runners on base in the first inning. Brian Miller roped the second pitch of the game into right field for a double and Ashton McGee drew a one-out walk. Sands responded with his
first of six strikeouts and forced a ground ball to shortstop Taylor Walls to end the inning. In the bottom of the frame, Jackson Lueck singled and Quincy Nieporte doubled, but both were stranded
on Cal Raleigh's strikeout. Miller got North Carolina on the board when he opened the third inning with his third home run of the season. Logan Warmoth was hit by a pitch, and eventually came
around to score on Brandon Riley's RBI-groundout. North Carolina held a two run advantage until the seventh inning, when Raleigh was hit by a pitch to open the frame, moved to second on J.C.
Flowers' single and took third on Nick Derr's fly out to right field. After Tyler Daughtry, pinch hitting for Matt Henderson, was hit by a pitch to load the bases, Raleigh hurried home on Bukauskas's
wild pitch. The Tar Heels immediately regained a two-run advantage when McGee homered off reliever Alec Byrd to start the eighth inning. Carolina closer Josh Hiatt recorded his tenth save of the
season, throwing a perfect eighth and working around a pair of walks in the ninth. Postgame Notes: Noles Lose No-Hitter in Ninth, Game in 11th.
TALLAHASSEE, FL - Sophomore left-hander Tyler Holton tallied eight strikeouts and did not allow a hit in seven innings against No. 8 North Carolina, but Florida State fell to the Tar Heels 5-2 in 11
innings Saturday evening on Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium. The Seminoles (18-10, 6-5 ACC) were hurt by six errors, and the Tar Heels (21-6, 8-3 ACC) scored two runs in the ninth and three
in the 11th to secure the win. "We need a win," head coach Mike Martin said. "This stuff, if you let it, can take it out of you. That wasn't the type of game you expect us to play. We made six
errors, but we have to be mentally tough enough to move on to the next day." Holton was again superb for the Noles, lowering his earned run average from 2.31 to 1.65 after allowing a walk and no
hits in seven innings. Holton struck out eight more batters and his lone walk came on the final batter he faced to begin the eighth inning. Florida State had to work around shaky infield defense
that allowed six errors, including one each in the third, fifth, sixth and seventh innings while Holton was pitching. Each time, North Carolina stranded the runner. In the eighth, after Holton
walked Cody Roberts to open the frame, Drew Carlton (1-2) took over and hit Tyler Lynn before striking out leadoff hitter Brian Miller. Lynn was picked off at first by catcher Cal Raleigh, and Carlton
forced Logan Warmoth to fly out to center field to preserve the shutout and no-hitter. The Seminoles took a 2-0 lead into the ninth inning after scoring in the third and seventh innings. Jackson
Lueck's second hit of the game, a single in the third, scored Nick Derr to give FSU its first lead of the series. In the seventh, Rhett Aplin led off with his first career triple and scored on Drew
Mendoza's sacrifice fly. FSU had a chance for more in the inning with the bases loaded and two outs, but Lueck struck out to end the threat. In the ninth, FSU's defensive struggles would finally
lead to a pair of runs for the Tar Heels. Ashton McGee led off with a walk, and Kyle Datres hit a ball to Tyler Daughtry at shortstop that the freshman bobbled, allowing McGee to move to third. With
runners on the corners, Brandon Riley flew out to center field, scoring McGee and making the score 2-1. After a groundout from Zack Gahagan put FSU one out away from a second combined no-hitter in
as many seasons, pinch hitter Michael Busch took the first pitch he saw and singled to right field, scoring Datres and forcing extra innings. In the 11th, with Carlton still on the mound, a second
error on Daughtry led to three unearned runs. For the game, all five of North Carolina's runs were unearned. Josh Hiatt (1-1) walked Mendoza to open the bottom of the 11th, but retired Flowers,
Daughtry and Henderson in order as the Tar Heels won the series. Postgame Notes Ninth-Inning Home Run Dooms No. 12 Noles. TALLAHASSEE, FL
- A ninth-inning home run from North Carolina's Michael Busch proved to be the difference in Sunday's 9-7 Tar Heel victory over Florida State on Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium. Cal Raleigh
had two RBI and Rhett Aplin hit his fifth home run of the season, but five errors led to four unearned runs for UNC. "North Carolina was impressive," head coach Mike Martin said. "They're the best
team we've played this year. They just battled and battled and there are no easy outs in that lineup." Florida State starter Drew Parrish allowed a two-run home run to Ashton McGee in the first
inning, but the Seminoles responded with two runs of their own in the bottom of the inning. With runners on first and second, Raleigh doubled to left field to score leadoff hitter J.C. Flowers, and
Quincy Nieporte followed with an RBI groundout that scored Jackson Lueck. After a perfect second inning from Parrish, Nick Derr scored on a passed ball, and Aplin's three-run home run scored Matt
Henderson and Lueck to give FSU a 6-2 lead. The Tar Heels clawed back with a run in the fourth, two in the fifth, and one each in the sixth and seventh. During that stretch, only North Carolina's
run in the sixth inning, an RBI single by McGee, was earned as FSU racked up five errors on the afternoon. With North Carolina leading 7-6, Raleigh again came through for the Noles with an RBI
single that scored Flowers and tied the score. Pitching behind Parrish, Will Zirzow allowed two runs (one earned) before giving way to Chase Haney (1-1) in the seventh. With two outs, Haney struck
out Busch looking. In the ninth inning, Busch, who had an RBI single with two outs in the ninth inning Saturday to tie the game and break up FSU's no-hitter, again came through for North Carolina.
The Tar Heel was a seventh-inning replacement and hit a two-run, two-out home run that scored Cody Roberts. Florida State went down in order in the ninth. UNC's Tyler Baum (4-0) did not allow any
of the four runners he faced to reach base in earning the win.
Lueck's Walk-Off Double Leads FSU Over No. 20 FGCU. TALLAHASSEE, FL - No. 22
Florida State snapped a four-game losing streak in Tuesday evening's 7-6 win over No. 20 Florida Gulf Coast on Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium. Sophomore Jackson Lueck was 3-for-5 in the
game, including the game-winning, walk-off double that scored Taylor Walls in the ninth inning. "I feel a lot better than I've been feeling," head coach Mike Martin said. "We did a lot of things
right. We struggled in some areas on the mound, but overall, our defense was excellent." Lueck led a Seminole offense that tallied 11 hits, while Drew Carlton (2-2) evened his record by pitching
the ninth inning and striking out a pair of Eagles. Florida State struck first with a pair of runs in the second inning. Cal Raleigh hit his fourth home run of the season to give FSU a 1-0 lead,
followed by infield singles from Dylan Busby and Drew Mendoza. For Mendoza, the hit was the first of his career. Both runners advanced on a double steal, and Busby scored on a passed ball by catcher
Spencer Levine from pitcher Mario Leon. FSU added a run in the third on Rhett Aplin's single. Aplin reached third on Leon's failed pick off at first base before scoring on Quincy Nieporte's sixth
double of the year. The Eagles got a pair back in the fourth on Nick Rivera's sixth home run of the season, a two-run shot off Florida State starter Andrew Karp. Karp allowed a solo home run to
Jake Smith to start the fourth inning that tied the score before being pulled in favor of Jim Voyles. Karp went 4.0 innings, allowing three runs on six hits. FGCU took its first lead when Julio
Gonzalez tripled off Voyles and scored on a throwing error from Walls. FSU retook the lead with two runs in the fifth to make the score 5-4. Lueck's RBI single scored Matt Henderson and was
followed by a single from Aplin that chased Leon. Relieving Leon, Christian Townsend hit Nieporte and walked Busby with the bases loaded to score Lueck. The Eagles scored two more runs in the top
of the sixth to take a 6-5 lead. Chase Haney replaced Voyles on the mound, and allowed a two-run double to Smith. Smith finished 2-for-4 with three RBI and a run scored on the day, while Gonzalez was
3-for-4 with a walk and a run in the leadoff spot for the Eagles. FSU evened the score in the bottom of the inning. Henderson hit his first double of the season, and scored on Lueck's RBI double
off Kenton Hering (4-2). In the seventh, freshman left-hander Clayton Kwiatkowski entered with a runner on second base and one out before retiring Eli Lovell on strikes and Corey Fehribach on a pop
up to Raleigh. Kwiatkowski had three strikeouts in 1.2 innings before giving way to Carlton. Hering did not record an out in the ninth, as Walls picked up his first hit of the game on a single up
the middle and scored on Lueck's double. For the Seminoles, it is the second walk-off win this season after scoring three runs in the ninth against Jacksonville for a 10-9 win on March 21. J.C.
Flowers had the walk-off single in that game. The win snaps a three-game losing streak against the Eagles and improves FSU to 1-1 against FGCU this season. The Eagles won 5-2 in Ft. Myers on March
15. The win is the first this season against a ranked team, and it is the fifth of six consecutive games against ranked foes.
Two-Run Fourth Inning Seals FSU's 3-2 Win. TALLAHASSEE, FL - No. 22
Florida State (20-11) defeated No. 20 FGCU (24-7) 3-2 in a rain-shortened affair on Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium Wednesday afternoon. Dylan Busby hit the go-ahead single in the bottom of
the fourth to give the Noles a 3-2 lead, and Grant Stewart (1-0) struck out the side in the fifth to make the game official and record his first career win. "Glad to see Grant Stewart get a
chance," head coach Mike Martin said. "Thought he did a very good job. Zirzow gave us quality innings. "We had some good at-bats. Their pitching is impressive. I see why they've beaten good teams
and why their RPI is so high." FSU pitcher Will Zirzow made the first start of his career, going 3.0 innings and allowing four hits and two runs while striking out five. Stewart pitched a perfect
fourth inning and struck out the side in the fifth as FGCU left the bases loaded before the delay. Cal Raleigh hit his first triple of the season, and second of his career, in the fourth inning
before scoring the winning run on Busby's single. FGCU took a 2-0 lead in the third on three singles, the second from Julio Gonzalez and the third off the bat of Nick Rivera that scored two.
Including Tuesday's 7-6 FSU win, Gonzalez and Rivera combined to go 8-for-12 with four extra base hits in Tallahassee. The Seminoles answered with a run in the bottom of the third. Freshman Drew
Mendoza singled and was followed by a J.C. Flowers hit by pitch. Matt Henderson was able to drop a two-strike bunt single down the third base line to advance the runners, and Mendoza scored when third
baseman Richie Garcia sailed an errant throw to first base. FGCU starter Peyton Gray (3-1) pitched the entire game, allowing six hits and three runs (two earned) while striking out a pair. After
Stewart left the bases loaded in the FGCU top of the fifth, Florida State officials were forced halt the game due to lightning and rain in the area. After a 34-minute rain delay, the game was called
when the playing surface was deemed unplayable. Postgame Notes: Noles Use 10-Run 7th to Knock Off NC State, 16-7. RALEIGH, NC -
No. 22 Florida State tied a season high with 16 hits in Friday evening's 16-7 win over NC State at Doak Field in Raleigh. The Seminoles (21-11, 7-6 ACC) scored a season-high 10 runs in the seventh
inning, and starting pitcher Cole Sands (5-2) became the first FSU pitcher with five wins on the year. "Outstanding outing by Cole Sands," head coach Mike Martin said. "He was dominating at times
but I'm pleased with the way he's getting his changeup better the last four or five outings." FSU's 10 runs in the seventh inning were the most in an inning this season. Entering the frame leading
just 4-3, the Seminoles sent 15 batters to the plate with six hits, four walks, one hit by pitch and J.C. Flowers reached on an error. NC State used four pitchers in a half-inning that lasted nearly
30 minutes, and FSU had six runs on the board before the Wolfpack recorded an out. The Seminoles were led offensively by three hits each from junior Taylor Walls and freshman Drew Mendoza. Walls
hit his second triple of the season and had three RBI, while Mendoza had a pair of doubles, a single and was hit by a pitch in just his sixth collegiate game. He also recorded a career-high four
RBI. "People forget we've got three freshmen in our lineup most nights," Martin said. "I'm pleased with the progress that [Nick] Derr, [J.C.] Flowers and [Drew] Mendoza are showing on a nightly
basis." On the mound, Sands pitched a career-high six innings for the third consecutive game, allowing three earned runs on seven hits while striking out three. He has allowed three earned runs or
fewer in seven of eight appearances this season. Hank Truluck made his second start of the season in place of Jackson Lueck, and Nick Derr started in right field against NC State left-hander Sean
Adler (3-4). FSU took a 2-0 lead in the third inning on Walls' triple that scored Matt Henderson and Dylan Busby's sacrifice fly. NC State responded with two of their own in the bottom of the
inning. Brett Kinneman hit the first of his two home runs, and Stephen Pitarra's single up the middle tied the game. NC State took a 3-2 lead in the fourth, but Mendoza's two-run single in the
sixth scored Quincy Nieporte and Derr to give FSU a 4-3 lead before the 10-run seventh inning. Sands allowed a hit and a walk in the sixth inning, but an inning-ending double play got him out of
trouble and helped secure his fifth win of the year. In the ninth inning, FSU added a pair of runs on the first hits of the year for Bryan Bussey and Donovan Petrey. In relief of Sands, Jim
Voyles and Alec Byrd pitched the final three innings, allowing two earned runs while striking out six. "One game does not a series make," Martin mused. "We've got to just keep battling."
Postgame Notes: Home Runs Push NC State Past Noles, 4-3. RALEIGH, NC - A pair of home
runs from NC State pushed the Wolfpack past No. 22 Florida State 4-3 Saturday evening at Doak Field in Raleigh. The Seminoles (21-12, 7-7 ACC) got a seventh-inning home run from junior Rhett Aplin,
but NC State (17-15, 6-8) closed the game on a game-ending double play to secure the victory. "It was a good ball game," head coach Mike Martin said. "Obviously a disappointing loss, but at the
same time, you have to be ready to go tomorrow. Always tough on the road and every mistake we made, they took advantage of." Florida State starter Tyler Holton (4-1) was tabbed with the loss after
allowing four runs on a pair of home runs - a three-run shot in the first off the bat of Evan Mendoza, and a solo home run that proved to be the game winner to lead off the fourth inning from Brad
Debo. Holton added six strikeouts and had just one walk in the game. Trailing 4-0, FSU got one run back in the fifth. Drew Mendoza extended his hitting streak to four games with a leadoff
single, followed by a J.C. Flowers single. After Hank Truluck advanced both runners with a sacrifice bunt, Matt Henderson's sacrifice fly got the Seminoles on the board. In the seventh, Flowers
walked and the Seminoles chased NC State starter Brian Brown (1-0). With Tommy DeJuneas on the mound, Martin had Aplin pinch hit for Truluck. Aplin hit an opposite field home run that scored Flowers
and shrunk the Wolfpack lead to 4-3. Behind Holton, relievers Clayton Kwiatkowski and Chase Haney each pitched 1.1 innings and had one strikeout without allowing a run. In the ninth, Nick Derr
and Mendoza each walked, putting runners on first and second with no outs. Flowers popped up in foul territory, and Aplin grounded out to second base to start the game-ending double play.
Postgame Notes: Mendoza Hits First Career Home Run, But Wolfpack Take Series. RALEIGH,
NC - NC State's five runs scored with two outs proved to be enough for the Wolfpack in beating No. 22 Florida State, 8-4, Sunday afternoon on Doak Field. Florida State (21-13, 7-8 ACC) freshman Drew
Mendoza hit his first career home run and had a pair of hits on the day, but NC State (18-15, 7-8 ACC) racked up 13 hits to win the series. "It's a credit to NC State," head coach Mike Martin said.
"They did a good job of battling and got the hits when they needed. They took advantage of our mistakes." Drew Parrish (3-2) allowed seven runs and eight hits in 3.1 innings pitched. NC State
scored four runs in the first inning after Parrish retired the first two batters, and tacked on a two-out run in the third to make the score 5-0. Mendoza's home run in the fourth was a blast that
hit halfway up the scoreboard in right center field, 380 feet from home, and trimmed NC State's lead to 5-2. The freshman had three extra base hits and six RBI on the weekend. The Seminoles could
not maintain the momentum of Mendoza's home run, however, allowing two runs in the bottom of the fourth and another in the sixth. Quincy Nieporte added his team-high 40th and 41st RBI in the eighth
and ninth innings to provide the final margin. In the eighth, Nieporte singled to score Tyler Daughtry, and in the ninth drew a bases loaded walk to score J.C. Flowers. After Nieporte walked, FSU had
the tying run at the plate in Cal Raleigh, but the sophomore catcher grounded out to end the game. NC State starter Michael Bienlien (2-1) went six innings, allowing just the two runs off Mendoza's
homer. Dalton Feeney got his first save of the year, forcing Raleigh's grounder on the only batter he faced. In relief of Parrish, Grant Stewart, Will Zirzow, Jim Voyles and Drew Carlton combined
to allow one run on five hits while striking out three. "We have to keep our head up and keep fighting," Martin said. Postgame Notes: Baseball Drops Series Finale vs. Gators, 10-7. TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida
State dropped the series finale to Florida 10-7 Tuesday evening on Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium. Taylor Walls, Drew Mendoza and Cal Raleigh combined for six hits and six RBI for FSU
(21-14), but Florida (22-11) used a four- and six-run inning to sweep the season series. “I believe in those guys,” head coach Mike Martin said. “They’re down because we got beat by the University
of Florida. For me to say it’s just another game, it’s not. We get a two-run lead, the stadium is rocking, everything is going our way – we turn around and give up four. You can’t do that.” After a
perfect first inning from starter Andrew Karp, Walls led off the Seminole first with his fourth home run of the season to give FSU a quick 1-0 lead. After a Tyler Daughtry walk, Mendoza’s first double
of the game doubled the Seminole lead. In the second, Karp struggled and allowed a hit by pitch, two walks and two hits as the Gators took a 4-2 lead. FSU answered with a run in the third on a pair
of errors from the Florida infield, the second of which, a bobbled ball from pitcher Kirby McMullen off the bat of Daughtry, allowed J.C. Flowers to score after reaching base on a hit by pitch. FSU
tied the game in the third on an RBI single from Raleigh. Florida took the lead for good in the fourth inning, scoring six runs on five hits and two walks against three FSU pitchers – Chase Haney
(1-2), Will Zirzow and Jim Voyles. FSU added another run in the bottom of the fourth by opening the inning with consecutive singles from Flowers, Matt Henderson and Walls. After a Daughtry walk
loaded the bases with no outs, Florida brought in Nick Horvath (1-0) and the junior struck out Rhett Aplin, Nieporte and Mendoza to end any FSU threat. Both teams remained scoreless until the
ninth, when FSU tallied a pair of runs on Mendoza’s second double of the game. After starting the season 0-for-10 in the series against No. 7 North Carolina, the Minneola, Fla., native has seen his
average rise to .313 with four doubles, a home run and 10 RBI in 32 at-bats. Behind Karp, Haney and Zirzow allowed six earned runs in two innings. Voyles, Clayton Kwiatkowski, Drew Carlton and Alec
Byrd allowed three hits, walked three and struck out four over the final 5.1 innings. FSU held the 1-through-5 slots in Florida’s lineup to 2-for-21 hitting with four strikeouts, but the bottom of the
lineup recorded eight hits and eight RBI. For the Gators, Tyler Dyson went 1.2 innings in his first start, allowing three runs. Horvath earned the win, throwing 3.1 innings of one-hit baseball.
After the game, Martin said Carlton, FSU’s opening day starter that has a 2-1 record and 0.79 ERA out of the bullpen, will be used in a different role moving forward. “We’re going to do everything
we can to get to postseason. With our schedule, it’s not going to be easy. But I assure you, we will continue to battle.” Postgame Notes: Baseball Comeback Falls Short vs. No. 4 Clemson. TALLAHASSEE, FL – After falling behind 9-0
and 10-1 against No. 4 Clemson, Florida State (21-15, 7-9 ACC) rallied to tie the game in the seventh inning before the Tigers 12-10 win Saturday evening on Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium.
Matt Henderson and Taylor Walls each had three hits, but a pair of unearned runs in the ninth inning gave Clemson (30-5, 14-2) the victory. “I hurt for [our team] because of the fact they did not
win,” head coach Mike Martin said. “We got after it, things didn’t go our way. There is a reason they are [14-2] in our league.” The day opened with Florida State retiring the jersey of J.D. Drew
(1995-97), a two-time All-American and College Baseball Hall of Famer. In front of a crowd of 5,753, the ceremony was attended by 70 of Drew’s family and friends, including a number of former players.
Drew became just the second FSU player to have his jersey retired, joining Dick Howser (No. 34). The excitement of Drew’s ceremony did not roll over onto the field for the Seminoles, however. FSU
starter Cole Sands allowed six earned runs in just 1.2 innings pitched, walking two and striking out none. After scoring a run in the first, the Tigers hit six doubles and scored seven more in the
second inning to take an 8-0 lead. Both teams traded runs in the third, with FSU scoring on a sacrifice fly from Dylan Busby that scored Rhett Aplin. FSU would score in each of the next four
innings to claw back into the game. Clemson pushed its lead to 10-1 in the fourth on Seth Beer’s 10th home run of the season. The Noles responded with three runs in the bottom of the frame on
Henderson’s three-run double to left field. The senior set a career high with four RBI and a season high with three hits. After Beer’s home run in the fourth, the Seminole pitching staff did not
allow another earned run. Will Zirzow, Jim Voyles and Drew Carlton allowed four hits over the final 4.1 innings. FSU got another two runs in the fifth on Jackson Lueck’s third home run of the
season. Lueck had missed the previous four games with shingles. In the sixth, three consecutive singles to open the inning made the score 10-7. Walls’ RBI single was his second of three hits on the
day. Clemson reliever Jeremy Beasley entered with two runners on and no outs in the sixth after Walls’ single and recorded three straight outs to end the FSU threat. After Voyles pitched a
perfect seventh inning, the Noles tied the game with three two-out RBI to tie the game at 10-10. A single by Cal Raleigh and a walk from Drew Mendoza ended Beasley’s day, giving way to Jacob Hennessy.
Hennessy struck out Aplin and J.C. Flowers before Henderson’s RBI single, a single from Walls and a two-run single from Busby. In the ninth, Clemson scored a pair of unearned runs after Grayson
Byrd and Chase Pinder reached on FSU errors. With the bases loaded, Carlton (2-3) struck out Logan Davidson and Chris Williams before Beer’s bloop single fell just out of reach of Walls in shallow
left-center field. In the FSU ninth, Aplin singled to open the game, but Ryley Gilliam (2-0) struck out Flowers, Henderson and Walls to end the game. Postgame Notes: Holton's 8.0 innings, 9 K's Lead Noles Past No. 4 Clemson, 7-3. TALLAHASSEE, FL – Behind
another outstanding performance from sophomore Tyler Holton, Florida State (22-15, 8-9 ACC) knocked off No. 4 Clemson 7-3 Sunday afternoon to even the series. Holton pitched a career-high eight
innings, allowing three runs and striking out nine. Offensively, FSU used home runs from Taylor Walls, Quincy Nieporte and Dylan Busby in beating the Tigers (30-6, 14-3). “This game was obviously
very important to us,” head coach Mike Martin said. “With our lineup, we have the ability to do what transpired today. “It’s all about pitching and defense. You don’t make an error, the other team
scores three – you have to be very pleased with Tyler Holton.” Holton, a three-time ACC Pitcher of the Week this season, allowed a run in a shaky first inning, but with the bases loaded and one
out, struck out Drew Wharton and forced a fly out from Andrew Cox. Walls responded with his second leadoff home run of the week to tie the game. With two outs, Cal Raleigh singled home Rhett Aplin
before Nieporte’s team-high seventh home run of the season gave FSU a 4-1 lead after one inning. In the third, FSU got its final three runs off the bat of Busby. His three-run home run, also with
two outs, scored Aplin and Raleigh and pushed FSU’s lead to 7-1. With a six-run cushion, Holton allowed just two more runs – an RBI single to Logan Davidson in the fifth and a Seth Beer home run to
open the sixth. Holton finished with nine strikeouts in eight innings on 123 pitches. Senior Alec Byrd worked around a two-out single in the ninth, striking out Reed Rohlman to end the game.
Clemson starter Alex Eubanks (5-3) allowed a career-high seven earned runs in three innings. Alex Schnell and Owen Griffith held the Noles scoreless for the final five innings, allowing three hits and
one walk. Postgame Notes: Byrd's Career Day Leads FSU Over No. 3 Clemson, 7-6. TALLAHASSEE, FL - Senior Alec
Byrd pitched the final three innings without allowing an earned run, and FSU scored two in the seventh inning to beat No. 3 Clemson, 7-6, Monday evening on Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium.
Cal Raleigh launched his fifth home run of the season to break a 5-5 tie, and Byrd forced three ground ball outs in the ninth as FSU took 2-of-3 from the Tigers. "I told our ball club that yes, we
are proud of what we accomplished," head coach Mike Martin said. "To say that we are back - no. We have a lot of work to do…but we just kept battling." For the third consecutive game, Clemson
scored in the first inning on Seth Beer's third home run of the series. Drew Parrish, FSU's starting pitcher, settled in after allowing that home run, retiring 10 of the next 11 hitters without
allowing another run. Florida State took the lead with two runs in the third inning and three in the fourth. In the third, singles from Matt Henderson and J.C. Flowers at the bottom of the lineup
paved the way for Jackson Lueck's fielder's choice. Lueck's ball hit back to the pitcher should have retired Henderson at home, but Clemson catcher Chris Williams' foot was never on the plate and
Henderson was ruled safe. With the extra out, Quincy Nieporte's sacrifice fly scored Flowers. In the fourth, Dylan Busby hit a three-run double to right center field, scoring Taylor Walls,
Flowers and Henderson. Busby hit a three-run home run on Sunday and also had three RBI on Saturday. In the fifth, Drew Carlton took over for Parrish with runners on first and second and one out and
got Logan Davidson swinging before Beer lined out to Henderson at second base. Carlton did run into trouble in the sixth, however: he allowed a pair of solo home runs to Williams and pinch hitter
Robert Jolly, the latter of which tied the game at 5-5. Entering the game, Carlton had not allowed a home run on the season. Byrd (2-1) entered the game in the seventh inning with runners on first
and second and no outs in relief of Carlton. Byrd allowed a single to Beer, Clemson's cleanup hitter, but a perfect throw from Rhett Aplin in right field retired Reed Rohlman at the plate to keep the
Tigers off the board. Williams grounded out and Andrew Cox struck out swinging to keep the game tied. After Byrd and the Seminole defense kept Clemson at bay in the seventh, Raleigh's solo home run
in the bottom of the frame gave FSU a 6-5 lead. A Walls' walk later in the inning with the bases loaded gave FSU its final run of the game. Clemson tacked on an unearned run in the eighth, but Byrd
struck out Rohlman to end the inning. In the ninth, Byrd sandwiched three groundouts around a Williams single to earn his second win of the year and give FSU its marquee series win of the
season. Clemson starter Pat Krall did not factor in the decision, throwing 5.1 innings and allowing five unearned runs to remain a perfect 6-0. Jacob Hennessy (1-1) picked up the loss after
allowing Raleigh's home run without recording an out. Postgame Notes: Busby’s Two Home Runs Lead Noles Over Stetson, 7-3. TALLAHASSEE, FL – Dylan Busby hit two home runs and had three RBI, Taylor Walls was 3-for-5 with a
pair of doubles and Florida State (24-15) knocked off Stetson (16-23), 7-3, Wednesday evening on Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium. Clayton Kwiatkowski earned his first career win, pitching 3.2
innings in relief of Will Zirzow. “The way we approached the game was very mature,” head coach Mike Martin said. “[Stetson’s] a good ball club…but I was very pleased with the way we went out and
got after it. That last column had a zero, and that makes us excited.” Walls and Busby both started 3-for-3 and accounted for each of FSU’s first six hits. Busby’s two home runs give him seven on
the season, tied for the team lead, and he is the first FSU player this year with two in one game. He had three RBI for a fourth-consecutive game, and his average sits at .298. “[Busby’s] seeing
the ball well,” Martin said. “He has the ability to semi-carry a team, and he’s doing a good job of getting us off to a good start in the ball game.” The Seminoles struck first with a bases loaded
walk in the first inning. Walls and Busby singled off Austin Bogart, followed by walks to Quincy Nieporte and Rhett Aplin. In the second, Matt Henderson was hit by a pitch for the sixth time this
season, and third time in four games, before scoring on Walls’ fifth double of the year. After Walls was caught stealing third, Busby hit his sixth home run on a crushed ball over the left field wall
to give FSU a 3-0 lead through two innings. After Stetson tied the game with three runs in the top of the fifth inning, the last two of which came on a home run from Jack Gonzalez off reliever
Clayton Kwiatkowski, FSU answered with four in the bottom of the inning. Walls’ second double of the game, off reliever Mitchell Senger (0-2), paved the way for Busby’s second home run and gave FSU
a 5-3 lead. With two outs, Cal Raleigh hit his sixth home run of the year and second in two games. Stetson’s Tyler Keller took over on the mound and hit Aplin and Drew Mendoza before walking Henderson
with runners advancing on a wild pitch to give the Noles a 7-3 lead. Will Zirzow, making his second career start after going three innings against FGCU earlier this month, allowed a pair of runs in
4.1 innings, striking out four. Kwiatkowski went a career-high 3.2 innings, allowing three hits and striking out three. The freshman left-hander is the 11th different player to earn a win for FSU this
season. Postgame Notes: Busby's 4 RBI Lead FSU Past Miami, 6-3. CORAL GABLES, FL - Junior
Dylan Busby continued his hot streak at the plate, recording three hits and four more RBI in leading Florida State to a 6-3 win over rival Miami at Mark Light Field on Friday evening. Since missing
last week's game against Florida, Busby is hitting .524 with 11 hits, four home runs, two doubles and 16 runs batted in. "I'm pleased with the poise we showed," head coach Mike Martin said. "This
is a tough place to play and we just did the things we needed to do to win." Busby's three-run home run in the fifth inning gave FSU a 4-1 lead after Matt Henderson's sacrifice fly tied the game
earlier in the frame. In the ninth, his two-out RBI double again gave FSU a three run cushion at 6-3. For Busby, it was his fifth straight game with at least three RBI, the first player in FSU history
with a five-game streak. "Missing the Florida game, it was almost a blessing in disguise not playing," Busby said. "I didn't get to work on my swing, I just got in there and hit the pitches that I
can handle. Seeing those made me more selective and ultimately helped me out." Miami took a 1-0 lead in the second inning on Romy Gonzalez's seventh home run of the year. FSU starter Cole Sands
settled down and retired the next nine hitters, leaving after throwing 4.1 innings and allowing two runs. His seven strikeouts tied a career high. After Miami had three straight hits to open the
fifth against Sands, scoring a run on Michael Burns' RBI single, Alec Byrd entered with one out. Byrd walked the first batter to load the bases before retiring James Davison swinging. Jim Voyles
replaced Byrd and forced a groundout to limit any further damage. Voyles (3-0) went three innings, allowing a run on two hits while striking out three. "You don't minimize [our pitching]
performance," Martin said. "Those guys did an outstanding job. We used four arms and gave up seven hits. Very pleased with all of them." FSU got an insurance run in the seventh inning after Drew
Mendoza hit a double, advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt from Henderson and scored on Taylor Walls' second sacrifice fly of the season. Miami earned its final run with a bases loaded walk in the
eighth. Drew Carlton relieved Voyles with two on and walked two batters (the first of which was credited to Voyles) to close the Miami deficit. On a 1-0 count to Burns, Carlton forced a fielder's
choice to Busby at third base, retiring the runner at second. Carlton pitched a perfect ninth for his third save of the season and first in ACC play. Carlton threw 19 pitches and Byrd 11 after both
threw Wednesday against Stetson. Postgame Notes: Noles Fall in Extras to Hurricanes, 5-4. CORAL GABLES, FL - Quincy Nieporte and Jackson
Lueck each had home runs Saturday, but Miami got a walk-off run in the 10th inning to beat Florida State, 5-4, Saturday evening at Mark Light Field. Each team had just five hits in the game, but a
crucial error in the 10th snapped FSU's four-game win streak. "Tyler Holton was good, our bullpen was good," head coach Mike Martin said. "We got some big hits from Quincy and Jackson…we're just
ready to get after it tomorrow." After being robbed of a home run in the second inning of Friday's game, Nieporte led off the second with a no-doubter off Miami starter Michael Mediavilla to give
FSU a 1-0 lead. His eight home runs are tied with Dylan Busby for the team lead. In the third inning, Nieporte netted two more RBI on a bases loaded single that pushed FSU's lead to 3-0. J.C.
Flowers walked, Taylor Walls singled and Lueck walked before Nieporte's 46th and 47th RBI of the season. Miami's Michael Burns gave the Hurricanes a lead in the bottom of the inning with a one-out
grand slam. FSU starter Tyler Holton had retired the first seven Miami hitters, but a single, walk and hit by pitch loaded the bases for Burns' slam. It was the first grand slam allowed by the
Seminoles this season. Both pitchers settled in after that. Holton exited in the seventh inning after 6.1 innings, allowing three hits and four runs, walking three and striking out five. Mediavilla
went a season-high 6.2 innings and struck out 10 batters. After Burns' slam, neither team scored until Lueck's solo home run off Miami reliever Andrew Cabezas (1-2) to open the eighth inning, tying
the game at 4-4. The opposite field home run was Lueck's fourth of the season. Chase Haney entered with a runner on second and one out in the seventh before forcing a groundout and striking out
Randy Batista. Haney allowed a double in the ninth before giving way to Alec Byrd. Byrd struck out James Davison and Nico Baldor to end the ninth and force extra innings. In the tenth, Busby
dropped a bunt single down the third base line, but was stranded. In the bottom of the inning, Byrd (2-2) gave up an infield single to Brandon Gali before exiting in favor of Drew Carlton. After
Gali stole second base, Walls' errant throw on a grounder from Burns allowed Gali to score the winning run. Cabezas went 3.1 innings in relief, allowing a run on two hits while striking out
four. The error was FSU's first of the series. For the Seminoles, all five hits came from their first four hitters, with Nieporte the only Seminole with two. FSU batters struck out a season-high
14 times. Postgame Notes: Baseball Dominates Stetson in 11-5 Win. DeLAND, FL - Florida State (26-16) beat
Stetson (18-25) for the second time in a week after the Seminoles topped the Hatters 11-5 Tuesday evening at Melching Field in front of 1,798 fans. FSU's offense had 11 hits, nine walks, one hit by
pitch and six sacrifice hits, while starter Drew Parrish (4-2) worked seven innings on the mound in his first midweek start. "It was an important win for us as we go into the homestretch," head
coach Mike Martin said. "Drew Parrish had a very good outing. He pitched a very good baseball game and it was nice to bring in Chaz [Chase Haney] and Clayton [Kwiatkowski] to finish. Good win for our
team. We played well, made a couple errors, but all in all, a very successful night." Taylor Walls, Quincy Nieporte and Dylan Busby each had multiple hits, while Nieporte, Nick Derr and J.C.
Flowers each had more than one RBI. Cal Raleigh and Matt Henderson each had three of FSU's nine walks. Henderson did not record an official at-bat in four plate appearances, adding a hit by pitch
before being replaced in the field by Hank Truluck in the bottom of the seventh. Parrish, making his first midweek start after eight straight appearances as FSU's game three starter on the weekend,
went 7.0 innings, allowing five runs on seven hits while walking just one. Florida State struck first with a run in the second inning. Nieporte singled, followed by the first Raleigh walk. After
Drew Mendoza's first sacrifice bunt of the season advanced the runners, Henderson walked to load the bases before Derr's sacrifice fly scored Nieporte. In the third, Walls opened with a single
before Busby doubled just inside the third base bag, scoring Walls. Busby was named the NCBWA National Hitter of the Week earlier in the day after going 8-for-18 with 10 RBI last week. When Jackson
Lueck's ground out advanced Busby to third, Nieporte's sixth sacrifice fly of the season made the score 3-0. Stetson got one back in the bottom of the frame after singles from Jacob Koos and Austin
Hale and an RBI groundout from Mike Spooner. Parrish forced a fly out to get the Seminoles out of trouble. FSU scored three runs in the fourth, chasing Stetson starter Ryan Stark (2-3). Stark
allowed a single to Mendoza and hit Henderson with a pitch before Derr's sacrifice bunt was thrown to third, but not in time to get Mendoza. Josh Gonzalez relieved Stark, and Flowers' two-run single
scored Henderson and Mendoza. Walls' flew out to left field, advancing Derr to third base and setting the stage for a double steal that made the score 6-1 Florida State. Derr's second sacrifice fly
of the game came in the fifth, scoring Raleigh and pushing FSU's lead to 7-1. FSU scored for a fifth-consecutive inning with four runs in the sixth. Stetson got three back on Hale's third home run
of the season in the seventh inning, trimming the lead to 11-5. Stetson's top two hitters, Koos and Hale, combined to go 6-for-7 with four RBI, all from Hale. In relief of Parrish, Chase Haney
worked a scoreless eighth inning, working out of a single and error that left two Hatters stranded. Clayton Kwiatkowski worked a perfect ninth in his 12th appearance of the year. Postgame
Notes: Noles Win Three Events, Load Up On Top Marks At Florida. Graduate student Ed'Ricus Williams made amends for a poor performance in his last trip to Gainesville by winning the high jump with a lifetime-best mark of 2.22 meters (7-3.5), which moved
him to No. 3 in the nation and No. 5 all-time among Seminoles. Jake Burton lowered his season-best in the 800 to 1:49.21, which was good enough for the win. In addition to the victories several
Noles posted major breakthroughs, led by the 400-meter men, where Kyle Fearrington (46.79), Kenny Lane (47.23) and Steven Simpkins (47.60) started the day by posting personal-best in the open race.
Burton joined the trio on the 4x400 relay team which sealed a trip to the NCAA East Preliminary meet by running a season-best 3:07.91 to finish second. The Noles quartet currently ranks 11th in the
East. "This group could punch a ticket to nationals if they keep improving at this rate," Braman said of the relay squad. Senior James Rhoden dipped under 51 seconds for the first time in the
400-meter hurdles, finishing third in 50.83. Shauna Helps ran a slightly windy 11.44 in the 100-meter dash against a stout field, finishing 12th overall but second among collegians. "Overall I'm
extremely pleased with the performances we had at the Tom Jones Memorial meet," Braman said. "Peta-Gay, Shauna, James, Kyle, Ed'Ricus and Jake all had big-time performances. And we had many other
really strong efforts from many others. "If we can keep this momentum going through the Seminole Twilight, then we'll be a tough team to beat at the ACC's."
Noles Fall to No. 14 Virginia, Prepare for Rubber Match. TALLAHASSEE, FL -
Florida State (27-17, 11-11 ACC) managed just two hits against No. 14 Virginia, dropping the second game of the series 8-0 Saturday afternoon on Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium. The Cavaliers
(34-11, 13-10) scored five runs in the sixth inning, while starting pitcher Noah Murdock (3-1) went six innings without allowing a run. "There are day's things don't go your way because the other
team did everything better than you," head coach Mike Martin said. "We got it handed to us. We got two hits and shutout. Virginia is a very good baseball team, and certainly they proved it today."
Both teams were scoreless until the fifth inning, when Virginia's No. 9 hitter Jake McCarthy hit a two-run home run to right field, his second homer of the season. After an error by second baseman
Matt Henderson, FSU starter Tyler Holton (5-2) was pulled in favor of Clayton Kwiatkowski. The freshman allowed an infield single, but forced a double play to Pavin Smith to limit the damage.
Virginia added five runs in the sixth inning against three FSU pitchers. In the eighth, Virginia provided the final margin with an RBI single by Robbie Coman. Holton went 4.1 innings, allowing five
hits and two earned runs on McCarthy's home run. He ran into trouble in the first two innings, but recovered to retire seven straight hitters before Justin Novak doubled to open the fifth. A day
after keeping the vaunted Virginia offense scoreless for the final 4.2 innings, the Florida State bullpen allowed 11 hits and six earned runs in the same time span on Saturday. FSU's best chance to
score came in the third inning. Henderson led off with a double down the left field line. With one game left in the month, the senior is hitting 14-for-41 in April. J.C. Flowers followed and was hit
by a pitch, and Taylor Walls dropped down his first sacrifice bunt since 2015 to advance the runners to second and third. Murdock answered by striking out Dylan Busby and Jackson Lueck looking to
end the threat. In the fourth, FSU loaded the bases with two outs on a hit by pitch and two walks, but Flowers flied out to right field to end the inning. Murdock went six innings and allowed
just two hits while striking out four. Alec Bettinger entered in relief, pitching the final 3.0 innings to earn his first save of the season.
Rally Falls Short as Baseball Falls to No. 14 Virginia. TALLAHASSEE, FL - A 6-0
deficit through three innings proved too much to overcome as Florida State (27-18, 11-12 ACC) fell to No. 14 Virginia (35-11, 14-10) 7-5 Sunday afternoon on Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium.
All five runs came via the long ball, as Dylan Busby hit a solo home run and Drew Mendoza and Quincy Nieporte connected for two-run home runs to close the deficit. "I was proud of our ball club,"
head coach Mike Martin said. "We could have folded the tent and felt sorry for ourselves. We got out there and battled. We're down 6-0 after three and there was no quit. "Credit Virginia. They are
a legit Top 10-team." Florida State starter Andrew Karp (0-3) struggled out of the gate, allowing four hits and a walk to the first five batters he faced before being replaced by Drew Parrish.
Virginia scored four runs in the opening frame and added one each in the second and third off Parrish to take a 6-0 lead. Parrish threw 4.0 innings in relief, allowing two runs on four hits and
striking out three. In the bottom of the fourth, Busby's tenth home run of the year put FSU on the board, and three batters later, Mendoza's third home run cut the gap to 6-3. Busby and Mendoza
both homered in Friday's series opener as well. Virginia earned its final run in the sixth inning off Alec Byrd. Byrd threw 1.1 innings in relief of Parrish before giving way to Drew Carlton.
Carlton kept Florida State in the game, allowing just three hits and no runs over the final 3.2 innings. In the eighth, he struck out the side, his only three strikeouts of the game. Virginia
starter Adam Haseley (7-1) went 5.0 innings, allowing four runs on four hits. After hitting Dylan Busby to open the sixth inning, he gave way to closer Tommy Doyle. With one out, Nieporte's ninth home
run of the season made the score 7-5 as FSU inched closer. With two outs in the inning, Rhett Aplin singled and Matt Henderson walked, and both players advanced on a passed ball. Steven Wells,
starting in the outfield for Jackson Lueck (illness), struck out swinging to end the last real threat the Seminoles had. Doyle settled down after that, allowing only one baserunner (a ninth-inning
walk to Aplin) over the next three innings to earn his 12th save of the year. For the Cavaliers, they pounded out 13 hits a day after tallying 16 hits. Five players had at least two hits, and Caleb
Knight, who entered hitting .417, was the only player not to have at least one. Postgame Notes: Busby’s Eighth-Inning Homer Leads FSU Over Pacific. TALLAHASSEE, FL –
Florida State led 8-1 after two innings, but Dylan Busby’s eighth-inning home run proved to be the game-winner as the Seminoles (28-18) held off Pacific (15-27) 9-8 Friday evening on Mike Martin Field
at Dick Howser Stadium. Busby’s home run was his 11th of the season and seventh in his past 11 games. Busby’s home run came with two outs in the eighth inning against Tigers reliever Vince Arobio
(3-4). It was the only hit Arobio allowed in two relief innings. The Seminoles scored six runs in the first inning, including a three-run home run off the bat of Tyler Holton. FSU’s Saturday
starting pitcher, Holton made his first start in the field this year and first career start in center field. His home run gave FSU a 6-0 lead after Quincy Nieporte had a two-RBI single and Cal Raleigh
hit a sacrifice fly earlier in the frame. On an unseasonably cool day, with game-time temperatures in the upper-60s, starting pitcher Cole Sands tied his career-high with 6.0 innings and seven
strikeouts. He allowed a run in the second inning and two in the fourth before being pulled in the seventh inning. Florida State scored two more in the bottom of the second, building an 8-1 lead
against Pacific starter Justin Giovannoni. Trailing 8-3 entering the seventh inning, Pacific scored five runs on four hits and left the bases loaded to tie the game. Sands allowed the first two
runners to reach base before being pulled for Chase Haney. Haney allowed three hits, including a three-run double to James Free, and gave way to Clayton Kwiatkowski. Kwiatkowski allowed a walk and
an RBI single to Danny Mayer, which tied the game at 8-8. Jim Voyles came in and walked Lucas Halstead to load the bases before striking out Blake Barry to end the inning. Drew Carlton (3-3)
pitched the eighth and ninth innings, earning the win after Busby’s solo home run with two outs in the bottom of the eighth. Carlton allowed a pair of singles in the eighth, including a fluke single
to Matt Tarantino that second baseman Matt Henderson lost in the lights before recovering to force Free to pop out to Busby in foul territory to end the inning. In the ninth, Carlton pitched a
perfect 1-2-3 inning, including getting Halstead looking to end the game, FSU’s tenth strikeout of the night. Busby, Holton and Rhett Aplin were the only Seminoles with multiple hits, and all seven
Seminoles that recorded a hit did so in the first two innings. Busby and Drew Mendoza each had two of FSU’s seven walks, and the Seminoles struck out just four times. Postgame Notes: Noles Sweep Pacific in Doubleheader, Reach 30 Wins. TALLAHASSEE, FL - Florida
State (30-18) beat Pacific (15-29) twice Saturday, topping the Tigers 18-5 in game one and 5-3 in the nightcap on Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium. FSU accounted for a season-high 18 runs and
17 hits in game one, and Tyler Holton earned his team-high sixth win of the season while racking up 10 strikeouts in 5.1 innings. Andrew Karp won his first game of the year in the second game,
tying his career high with seven innings pitched with eight strikeouts and just one run allowed. FSU got three runs in the eighth inning which proved vital when Pacific hit a two-run home run in the
top of the ninth. "Our guys really showed a lot of resolve, a lot of competitiveness," head coach Mike Martin said of the doubleheader. "The first game was one that we did a lot of things right.
You go into the nightcap knowing it's going to be close. That Pacific team is competitive. Their record does not speak to how good they are. We had to really play well to get both games." FSU
18, Pacific 5 Starting pitcher Tyler Holton (6-2) was again stellar for the Seminoles. He went 5.1 innings, allowed four runs (two earned), three hits and two walks
while striking out 10 Pacific batters. It was Holton's third game this season with double-digit strikeouts, the most for a Seminole pitcher since Sean Gilmartin had four in 2011. Offensively, Cal
Raleigh and Rhett Aplin each had two of FSU's season-high six doubles. Raleigh finished 3-for-3 with three runs scored and two RBI, while Aplin, Taylor Walls, Lueck, Quincy Nieporte, J.C. Flowers and
Matt Henderson recorded multiple hits. Flowers tied his career high with three RBI. Hank Truluck started at third base in place of Dylan Busby, finishing 1-for-4 with an RBI double. Chase Haney
closed out the sixth inning on the mound after Holton was pulled. Ed Voyles threw the final three innings, allowing a run and striking out three, to earn his first save of the season and second of his
career. Pacific's James Free was 2-for-3 with two RBI, and both of Danny Mayer's hits were doubles. Starting pitcher Ryan Shreve (1-5) allowed six earned runs in 2.2 innings pitched. FSU 5,
Pacific 3 The Seminoles got two runs in the first
inning on an RBI single from Quincy Nieporte and a bases loaded walk to Cal Raleigh. Karp allowed just one run on the mound, a sixth-inning home run off the bat of James Free that made the score 2-1.
Karp tied his career high with seven innings pitched and finished with eight strikeouts. He earned his first win of the season and second of his career. Casad settled down after the first inning,
allowing seven hits and three walks and just the two runs. Both teams went to the bullpen in the eighth - Alec Byrd had a perfect 1-2-3 inning for the Seminoles, while Ryan Schalch moved from first
base to the pitcher's mound for the Tigers and allowed three earned runs on two hits and four walks. Nieporte's RBI double made it 3-1 and scored Jackson Lueck. Tyler Holton, starting in right
field for Rhett Aplin, hit a sacrifice fly that scored Hank Truluck (running for Nieporte), and J.C. Flowers hit a 1-0 pitch up the middle that scored Cal Raleigh and gave FSU a 5-1 cushion. Those
runs proved important when Drew Carlton, who entered in a non-save situation, allowed a single to Schlach and a two-run home run to Danny Mayer that closed the lead to 5-3 with no outs. Carlton
responded well, though, striking out Blake Barry and Ryan Robards looking before getting Preston Moebius swinging to end the game. FSU had nine hits in the nightcap, with two each from Lueck,
Nieporte, Flowers, and Matt Henderson.

17 hits in game one, and Tyler Holton earned his team-high sixth win of the season while racking up 10 strikeouts in 5.1 innings. Andrew Karp won his first game of the year in the second game,
tying his career high with seven innings pitched with eight strikeouts and just one run allowed. FSU got three runs in the eighth inning which proved vital when Pacific hit a two-run home run in the
top of the ninth. "Our guys really showed a lot of resolve, a lot of competitiveness," head coach Mike Martin said of the doubleheader. "The first game was one that we did a lot of things right.
You go into the nightcap knowing it's going to be close. That Pacific team is competitive. Their record does not speak to how good they are. We had to really play well to get both games." FSU
18, Pacific 5 Starting pitcher Tyler Holton (6-2) was again stellar for the Seminoles. He went 5.1 innings, allowed four runs (two earned), three hits and two walks
while striking out 10 Pacific batters. It was Holton's third game this season with double-digit strikeouts, the most for a Seminole pitcher since Sean Gilmartin had four in 2011. Offensively, Cal
Raleigh and Rhett Aplin each had two of FSU's season-high six doubles. Raleigh finished 3-for-3 with three runs scored and two RBI, while Aplin, Taylor Walls, Lueck, Quincy Nieporte, J.C. Flowers and
Matt Henderson recorded multiple hits. Flowers tied his career high with three RBI. Hank Truluck started at third base in place of Dylan Busby, finishing 1-for-4 with an RBI double. Chase Haney
closed out the sixth inning on the mound after Holton was pulled. Ed Voyles threw the final three innings, allowing a run and striking out three, to earn his first save of the season and second of his
career. Pacific's James Free was 2-for-3 with two RBI, and both of Danny Mayer's hits were doubles. Starting pitcher Ryan Shreve (1-5) allowed six earned runs in 2.2 innings pitched. FSU 5,
Pacific 3 The Seminoles got two runs in the first
inning on an RBI single from Quincy Nieporte and a bases loaded walk to Cal Raleigh. Karp allowed just one run on the mound, a sixth-inning home run off the bat of James Free that made the score 2-1.
Karp tied his career high with seven innings pitched and finished with eight strikeouts. He earned his first win of the season and second of his career. Casad settled down after the first inning,
allowing seven hits and three walks and just the two runs. Both teams went to the bullpen in the eighth - Alec Byrd had a perfect 1-2-3 inning for the Seminoles, while Ryan Schalch moved from first
base to the pitcher's mound for the Tigers and allowed three earned runs on two hits and four walks. Nieporte's RBI double made it 3-1 and scored Jackson Lueck. Tyler Holton, starting in right
field for Rhett Aplin, hit a sacrifice fly that scored Hank Truluck (running for Nieporte), and J.C. Flowers hit a 1-0 pitch up the middle that scored Cal Raleigh and gave FSU a 5-1 cushion. Those
runs proved important when Drew Carlton, who entered in a non-save situation, allowed a single to Schlach and a two-run home run to Danny Mayer that closed the lead to 5-3 with no outs. Carlton
responded well, though, striking out Blake Barry and Ryan Robards looking before getting Preston Moebius swinging to end the game. FSU had nine hits in the nightcap, with two each from Lueck,
Nieporte, Flowers, and Matt Henderson.
Four-Run 7th Leads Seminoles to Sweep of Pacific. TALLAHASSEE, FL -
Florida State (31-18) capped a four-game sweep of Pacific (15-30) with a 5-3 win Sunday afternoon on Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium. Drew Parrish threw 7.2 innings in the win, and the
Seminole offense scored four runs in the seventh inning to go a season-high 13 games over .500. "This was a win that easily could have gone the other way," head coach Mike Martin, "and our guys did
not let it. We don't make an error and score five runs, you expect to win. Winning the way we did was a true credit to our baseball team." Parrish (5-2) retired the first 14 batters he faced before
walking Lucas Halstead with two outs in the fifth. The Tigers got their first hit on a one-out single in the sixth inning from Kevin Sandri, and three more hits that inning gave Pacific its first lead
of the series at 2-0. In the bottom of the inning, Dylan Busby doubled and scored on Jackson Lueck's RBI single to cut the deficit in half. In the seventh, Parrish answered with a perfect top of
the inning before the Seminoles chased Pacific starter Ricky Reynoso (4-6) in the bottom half. Drew Mendoza hit the first pitch of the inning off the wall in right-centerfield for a double, moved to
third on a wild pitch and scored on J.C. Flowers' RBI single to tie the score. Reynoso was replaced by Vince Arobio after Nick Derr singled. Matt Henderson's team-high seventh sacrifice bunt of the
season moved the runners up a base, and Taylor Walls' two-run single scored both runners and proved to be the game-winner. Walls would come around to score on an Arobio wild pitch to make the score
5-2. Reynoso allowed just four baserunners in the first five innings - a four-pitch walk to lead off the game to Walls, third- and fifth-inning singles to Henderson and a fourth-inning single to
Lueck. Reynoso finished with four earned runs allowed in six innings, striking out six. The Tigers got a third run on James Free's 12th home run of the year in the eighth inning. Jim Voyles entered
in relief of Parrish with two outs in the eighth and retired Halstead on a line out to centerfield to keep the score 5-3. Drew Carlton allowed a hit, a walk and hit a batter without recording an
out in the ninth inning. With the bases loaded and no outs, Alec Byrd earned his first save of the season by forcing an infield pop-up and a game-ending double play.
Mendoza's 2 HR, 6 RBI Lead FSU Rout of Jacksonville. TALLAHASSEE,
FL - Freshman Drew Mendoza had a pair of home runs and six RBI Tuesday night, leading a Florida State offense that totaled 17 hits and 11 walks in a 21-2 win over Jacksonville on Mike Martin Field at
Dick Howser Stadium. The Seminoles (32-18) extended its winning streak to five games as 12 players recorded at least one hit. Starting pitcher Will Zirzow (2-1) earned the win in his third career
start in front of 3,716 fans. "I was pleased with the approach," head coach Mike Martin said. "We didn't go through the motions, and you saw that in the last inning with bases loaded and getting
out of it…It was a long night, but a good night." After a nine-run FSU seventh inning provided the final margin, both coaches agreed that that top of the eighth would be the end of the game.
Florida State tied the largest margin-of-victory in the 166-game history of the series (25-6, 1985), scoring in six of the seven innings they batted. Mendoza's two home runs were the fourth and
fifth of his career, and the six RBI are a career-high and tie for the most by a Seminole this season (Quincy Nieporte at Virginia Tech). Mendoza's two-run home run in the fifth inning made the score
6-1, while his grand slam in the eighth inning put FSU over the 20-run threshold, and is the fifth grand slam of the season for the Seminoles - Nieporte has the other four. On the mound, Zirzow
pitched four innings in a controlled start, allowing a run on three hits while striking out three. Freshman lefthanders Clayton Kwiatkowski and Grant Stewart pitched three combined innings, while
Chase Haney pitched the eighth and worked out of a bases loaded, no out situation to avoid giving up a run. In total, 12 Seminoles recorded at least one hit, including eight of nine starters; 15 of
FSU's 17 hits were singles (Mendoza's home runs were the only extra base hits); and Dylan Busby reached base all five times he batted (3-for-3, two walks, RBI, two runs). Busby also stole home as part
of a double steal with Jackson Lueck, his second steal of home this season. After a pair of one-run victories earlier this season against the Dolphins, FSU scored 20 or more runs for the first time
since beating Rhode Island 23-4 in the opening weekend in 2016. For the Dolphins, Mike Cassala (0-3) lost for the third time this season against Florida State. He allowed just three runs in three
innings, while five relief pitchers allowed 12 hits and 18 runs in the final four innings. The JU offense mustered seven hits on the day, with two each coming from Evan Fernandez, Jacob Southern
and Ruben Someillan. Florida State's five-game winning streak is the second-longest this season, trailing a nine-game streak from February 24-March 8. FSU also swept a season series of at least
three games against Jacksonville for the first time since 2006 (five games).
Game 1 Against Wake Forest Postponed to Saturday. May 12, 2017
TALLAHASSEE, FL - A 58-minute rain and lightning delay forced a fifth-inning postponement in Game One between No. 21 Wake Forest and Florida State Friday evening at Dick Howser Stadium. The Demon
Deacons lead 4-2. Game One will resume Saturday, May 13, at 3:00 p.m. Reliever Chase Haney threw six strikes on six pitches to retire Wake Forest in the top of the fifth before the tarp was rolled
on the field, and Matt Henderson is scheduled to lead off the fifth for the Noles. Fans should retain their ticket stubs from Game One for re-entry on Saturday. Game Two is still scheduled for a
6:00 p.m. start, but there will be at least a one-hour break between games. The graduation ceremony will begin 20 minutes prior to Game Two. What was supposed to be an offensive shootout started
with both pitchers dominating. Florida State starter Cole Sands allowed just one baserunner through the first three innings, a second-inning walk to Gavin Sheets. Wake Forest starter Parker Dunshee
allowed one hit, to Taylor Walls in the third inning, and walked two without allowing a run. The Wake Forest bats came to life in the fourth inning, tallying three runs on four hits off Sands.
After a hit batter put a runner on base, Sheets launched his 18th home run of the year over the right field wall to give the visitors a 2-0 lead. Sheets entered the weekend ranked sixth in the country
in home runs and led the nation with 70 runs batted in. Bruce Steel's one-out double in the fourth made it 3-0 Wake Forest. The Demon Deacons left the bases loaded as Sands limited the damage with
a fly out to J.C. Flowers to end the inning. Drew Mendoza hit a one-out double off Dunshee in the fourth, and Tyler Holton hit a two-out home run over the right field wall to cut the Deacs lead to
3-2. It was Holton's second home run in just his 13th at-bat of the season. Wake Forest got one run back in the fifth on Stuart Fairchild's 13th home run of the year. Sands left after that,
allowing four runs in 4.1 innings. Clayton Kwiatkowski allowed a walk and a single, and Chase Haney entered and retired two batters to limit the damage before the weather delay halted the game Friday
night. May 13, 2017 TALLAHASSEE, FL - The first game Saturday started in the bottom of the fifth inning after a 58-minute
weather delay Friday eventually led to a postponement and halted action with Wake Forest leading 4-2. The Seminoles added a run in the fifth on Jackson Lueck's RBI double, but both teams went
scoreless the rest of the way as Wake won 4-3. What was supposed to be an offensive shootout started with both pitchers dominating. Florida State starter Cole Sands allowed just one baserunner
through the first three innings, a second-inning walk to Gavin Sheets. Wake Forest starter Parker Dunshee allowed one hit, to Taylor Walls in the third inning, and walked two without allowing a
run. The Wake Forest bats came to life in the fourth inning, tallying three runs on four hits off Sands. After a hit batter put a runner on base, Sheets launched his 18th home run of the year over
the right field wall to give the visitors a 2-0 lead. Sheets entered the weekend ranked sixth in the country in home runs and led the nation with 70 runs batted in. Bruce Steel's one-out double in
the fourth made it 3-0 Wake Forest. The Demon Deacons left the bases loaded as Sands limited the damage with a fly out to J.C. Flowers to end the inning. Drew Mendoza hit a one-out double off
Dunshee in the fourth, and Tyler Holton hit a two-out home run over the right field wall to cut the Deacs lead to 3-2. It was Holton's second home run in just his 13th at-bat of the season. Wake
Forest got one run back in the fifth on Stuart Fairchild's 13th home run of the year. Sands left after that, allowing four runs in 4.1 innings. Clayton Kwiatkowski allowed a walk and a single, and
Chase Haney entered and retired two batters to limit the damage before the weather delay halted the game Friday night. Wake Forest used pitcher Colin Peluse (3-1) on Saturday. After Lueck's RBI
double, Peluse finished with three innings of work and just the one hit allowed. For the Seminoles, Andrew Karp went 3.1 innings Saturday, allowing just one hit and no runs. Griffin Roberts earned
his sixth save of the season, allowing two ninth-inning baserunners but no runs in keeping FSU off the board and securing the win. Holton was the only Seminole with two hits, adding a single in the
ninth, but was erased on a game-ending double play off the bat of Flowers. "We've played pretty good baseball the last four weeks," Martin said. "We've had some losses that have stung. You just
have to take it one day at a time. No expectations."
Holton Astounds in Complete-Game Shutout vs. No. 21 Wake Forest. TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Sophomore pitcher Tyler Holton allowed just four hits, all singles, and did not allow a runner to reach second base in a dominating 4-0 complete game shutout of
No. 21 Wake Forest Saturday evening on Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium. The Seminoles did not allow a run in 13 innings on Saturday after the teams finished off a postponed game from Friday
night earlier in the day, a 4-3 Wake Forest win. "That first game was a tough loss," head coach Mike Martin said. "I was impressed with how we got after it game two, and let's face it, the guy on
the mound set the tone for everything." Florida State (33-19, 12-13 ACC) forced a split on the day against Wake Forest (34-16, 16-10 ACC) behind four first-inning runs and Holton's masterpiece on
the mound. After a 1-2-3 first inning for the Demon Deacons, the Seminoles led 3-0 before recording an out after Taylor Walls and Dylan Busby walked, followed by doubles from Jackson Lueck and Quincy
Nieporte. Drew Mendoza's RBI single later in the frame proved to be the final run of the game. Holton allowed just four hits in the game - all singles - and no Wake Forest batters touched second
base. The sophomore from Tallahassee threw 124 pitches on the night, 86 for strikes, and struck out nine batters, including Gavin Sheets, the nation's leader in RBI's, to end the game. "When you're
playing a team as good as Wake Forest, four [runs] is not enough," Martin said. "We just happened to have a big inning and ironically, that was all we needed." Holton had five perfect innings on
the night, including striking out the side in the eighth inning. Wake Forest entered the weekend series ranked in the top 10 nationally in home runs, hits, runs and slugging percentage, but Holton
held Wake to .129 hitting on Saturday (4-for-31), and 0-for-6 with runners on base. The Florida State defense was flawless behind Holton, running its errorless streak to 40 innings. Holton, a
three-time ACC Pitcher of the Week, recorded the first shutout and complete game of his career. His previous high was eight innings pitched against No. 4 Clemson on April 16 of this year. "Tyler
Holton can mess with your timing as a hitter," Martin said. "He's a guy that enjoys matching wits with hitters, being a hitter himself…he's a baseball player, and thank God he's on my team." For
the Demon Deacons, Donnie Sellers (3-5) picked up the loss but allowed just two hits after the four-run first. Morgan McSweeney allowed a hit over the final two innings, and Jake Mueller had two of
Wake Forest's four hits. Postgame Notes: Nieporte's Five Hits Not Enough as Noles Fall 10-9. TALLAHASSEE, FL
- Senior Quincy Nieporte had a career-high five hits Sunday against Wake Forest, but the Demon Deacons (35-16, 17-10 ACC) walked away with a 10-9 win and a series victory over the Seminoles (33-20,
12-14 ACC) on Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium. Florida State scored three runs in the second, fourth, and seventh innings, but FSU never led after the third inning. "This one could have
been really, really great for the resume," head coach Mike Martin said after the game. "We need to win. To heck with playing well and losing. We didn't make an error, we just had a couple
mistakes." Nieporte's five hits were all singles, and he is the first Seminole since Josh Delph went 5-for-7 at Miami in 2015 (in 17 innings) that a Florida State player had five hits. Nieporte's
previous high this season was two hits, done 13 times, while he had four hits in a game in both 2015 and 2016. The Seminoles answered Wake Forest runs in the first with three in the bottom of the
second, all unearned against Connor Johnstone. Tyler Holton hit a single to centerfield, his seventh in 16 at-bats, and J.C. Flowers reached on a dropped fly ball by rightfielder Patrick Frick. With
two outs, Taylor Walls hit his third triple of the season to tie the score, and Dylan Busby followed with a perfect bunt down the third base line to give FSU a 3-2 lead. The Demon Deacons responded
quickly, however, on Bruce Steel's three-run home run in the third to retake the lead. Florida State used four pitchers in the fourth inning as Wake Forest extended its lead to 8-3. Drew Parrish
(5-3) was pulled after walking the first batter fourth inning, finishing with six earned runs in 3.0 innings; Chase Haney allowed two hits and both runners scored; Alec Byrd allowed a walk and a hit
while forcing a double play; and Jim Voyles closed out the frame with a 10-pitch strikeout to Steel. Voyles would throw 1.2 innings, allowing just one hit. In the fourth, FSU chased Johnstone
after allowing a single and three walks to trim the lead to 8-4. Chris Farish entered with the bases loaded and allowed a two-out, two-run single to Nieporte to make it 8-6. John McCarren (5-3)
took over for Farish in the fifth inning, pitching 2.1 innings and allowing three runs. After both teams were scoreless in the fifth and sixth, Wake Forest added two runs in the seventh inning off
reliever Drew Carlton. Steel's second home run of the day made it 9-6 and an RBI single from Jonathan Pryor added another run. Jake Mueller grounded into a double play to end the inning. FSU again
answered in the bottom of the inning. Nieporte's fourth hit of the game led off the inning, and he scored on Cal Raleigh's seventh home run of the season. Holton singled, Nick Derr walked and Matt
Henderson was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Walls grounded out to score Holton to make it 10-9 Wake Forest through seven innings. Nieporte was replaced by Hank Truluck in the eighth inning
after his career-high fifth hit of the game, an infield single to shortstop. Walking off the field, Nieporte, a senior from Atlanta, Ga., tipped his cap to the Seminole faithful. Truluck was caught
stealing on the next pitch, and Drew Mendoza struck out to end the threat. Griffin Roberts earned his seventh save of the year, and second of the weekend, throwing 2.2 innings in relief, including a
perfect ninth inning to secure the win.
Bats Explode in 12-9 Win at No. 2 Louisville. LOUISVILLE, KY -
Playing its highest-ranked opponent of the season, Florida State (34-20, 13-14 ACC) beat No. 2 Louisville (46-8, 23-5) 12-9 Thursday evening at Jim Patterson Stadium. Quincy Nieporte and Dylan Busby
stayed hot, finishing a combined 7-for-9 with three doubles, a home run and seven runs batted in, while the FSU bullpen pitched the final five innings, allowing just one earned run. "Any win in the
league is important, and that's a good win for us," head coach Mike Martin said. "You're in an environment like this, it's quite a challenge, but our guys lived up to it." The Seminole offense
pounded out 14 hits and 12 runs in the game, the most the Cardinals have allowed since FSU scored 16 against Louisville last season. Louisville starter Brendan McKay, one of the top arms in the
country, allowed seven runs (five earned) over five innings, the most of his career. Jim Voyles (4-0) earned the win for the Seminoles, going 1.2 innings and allowing just one hit and no runs.
Voyles entered in relief of Cole Sands as Florida State moved to 5-0 in the first game of a road series this season. Nieporte improved to 8-for-9 over the past two games after going 5-for-5 in the
home finale against Wake Forest on Sunday. The senior's batting average has jumped to .303. Nieporte's three doubles are the most for a Seminole this season, and he recorded all five RBI's in the
first four innings. FSU jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first inning, but Louisville answered in the bottom of the second with the first of two three-run home runs. Josh Stowers' fifth home run of
the season gave the Cardinals a 3-1 lead through two innings. The Seminoles tied the score at 3-3 on Nieporte's first double of the game, scoring Busby and Jackson Lueck with two outs. Drew Ellis,
hitting .393 on the season, connected for Louisville's second home run as the Cards retook the lead, 6-3. The home team added a run in the fourth on Colby Fitch's double. FSU would score four in
the fifth to once again tie the game. Nieporte doubled to score Taylor Walls and J.C. Flowers, again with two outs. Cal Raleigh reached on an error that scored Nieporte, and Tyler Holton's single up
the middle scored Raleigh and tied the score. With the game tied, Voyles replaced Sands, who allowed seven runs in four innings, and pitched a perfect fifth inning against Louisville's 4-5-6
hitters. The Noles took the lead for good on Lueck's RBI single off Jake Sparger (4-1) to score Busby in the sixth, and extended the lead to 9-7 on Raleigh's eighth home run of the year over the
right field wall. In the eighth, FSU scored three runs on four hits to put the game away. Busby's team-high 12th home run of the season made it 11-8, and after Nieporte's third double of the game,
Raleigh singled him home for his second RBI. Drew Carlton pitched the final three innings, allowing a run in the ninth inning, to earn his fifth save of the year. The top five hitters in the FSU
lineup (Walls, Busby, Lueck, Nieporte, Raleigh) combined to go 12-for-22 with 10 RBI's and 11 runs scored. For the Cardinals, the loss was the first for the bullpen as they fell to 20-1 on the
season. Postgame Notes: Noles Take Series at No. 2 Louisville on Another Holton Gem. LOUISVILLE, KY – Sophomore Tyler Holton won his third straight start, allowing just one run while striking out 11 over eight innings, as Florida State beat No. 2 Louisville 8-2 Friday
evening at Jim Patterson Stadium. Paired with Thursday night’s 12-9 victory, FSU is the first team since the Cardinals joined the ACC in 2015 to win a series at Louisville. “It was a definite
challenge,” head coach Mike Martin said. “This is undoubtedly one of the toughest places to play in our league. With the success Louisville has had, for us to come in and win the first series they
have lost all year, is quite an accomplishment. “But we’re not satisfied. We want to play well tomorrow and get it done.” Holton (8-2), a four-time ACC Pitcher of the Week, had another
outstanding performance for the Seminoles (35-20, 14-14 ACC). After a two-hour lightning delay held up the start of the game, Holton walked the first batter of the game before retiring the next 10.
The Cardinals got their first hit in the fourth on a single from Devin Hairston, and broke Holton’s streak of 15.2 innings without allowing a run in the seventh inning. “I’m approaching every game
like it’s the last,” Holton said. “This is when it gets fun. You’ve got to win and move on, and that’s how we’re approaching these games.” Holton’s 11 strikeouts are the fourth time this season he
has reached double-digit strikeouts, becoming the first Seminole since Sean Gilmartin in 2011 to do so four times in one season. In five games against ranked opponents this season (#8 North Carolina,
#4 Clemson, #14 Virginia, #20 Wake Forest and #2 Louisville), Holton has allowed just six earned runs in 36.1 innings, with 38 strikeouts, eight walks and a 1.49 earned run average. For Louisville
(46-9, 23-6 ACC), starting pitcher Kade McClure (7-2) matched Holton for much of the game, allowing three unearned runs over seven innings. Taylor Walls opened the game with a single, but FSU did not
get another hit until J.C. Flowers’ single in the seventh inning. The Seminoles struck first, taking a 1-0 lead in the fourth inning on a pair of walks, an error and a sacrifice fly. Jackson Lueck
drew a walk and Quincy Nieporte reached on an error by Louisville shortstop Hairston, just his second in over 200 chances this season. After Cal Raleigh walked to load the bases, Drew Mendoza’s third
sacrifice fly of the year gave FSU the lead. In the seventh, FSU added two more unearned runs against McClure. Mendoza reached on an error by second baseman Devin Mann, followed by Nick Derr
getting hit by a pitch and Flowers’ single to load the bases. With two outs, Walls laced a two-run single down the line to give FSU a 3-0 lead. Louisville got one back in the bottom half of the
inning, but the damage was limited after Lueck’s first outfield assist of the season. Drew Ellis walked, stole second base and scored on Colin Lyman’s single. Josh Stowers, who hit a three-run home
run in Thursday’s opener, hit a double to left field, but Lueck relayed to Walls, who threw to Raleigh at the plate to get Lyman trying to score. In the eighth, Logan Taylor walked, but Holton’s
11th strikeout of the game, on his 104th pitch, was coupled with a caught stealing from Raleigh to retire Taylor and end the frame. FSU added five runs in the top of the ninth off Adam Elliott to
secure the victory. Matt Henderson hit a bases loaded single to score Mendoza; Lueck singled in a run and another scored on the Cardinals fourth error of the game; and Nieporte knocked his fourth
double of the weekend, a two-run shot that put FSU’s final runs on the board. Andrew Karp took over for Holton in the ninth, allowing a run on Brendan McKay’s double, but Lueck’s second assist of
the game retired McKay reaching for a triple. Karp struck out Lyman swinging to end the game. With the win, FSU improved its ACC record to 14-14. The Seminoles improved to 6-3 against the Cardinals
since Louisville joined the league in 2015. Walls was the only Seminole with multiple hits, and he and Nieporte each tallied two RBI. Holton’s earned run average dipped to 2.55. Over the past
two games, Holton has allowed nine hits and one run in 17.0 innings, with 20 strikeouts, against No. 20 Wake Forest and Louisville. Postgame Notes: Lueck's Walk-Off Home Run Lifts FSU in #ACCBase Opener. LOUISVILLE, KY - Florida State sophomore Jackson Lueck picked the perfect time for his first career multi-home run game, finishing 3-for-3 with four RBI's in FSU's 5-3, 12-inning win
over Notre Dame (26-31) in the ACC Championship Wednesday afternoon at Louisville Slugger Field. Lueck also added three walks, but his second two-run home run of the game in the bottom of the 12th
inning provided the fireworks and kept FSU's (36-20) chances for a semifinal appearance alive. "I've been blessed to be involved in a number of baseball games at Florida State," head coach Mike
Martin said. "I've been on the other end, and I've been on the end that we were on tonight. That one was, you might say, one for the ages, with the conditions what they were." "Any time you come
out with a W, it's nice," Lueck said. "But for a game like this it was back and forth, back and forth, and to come out on top is huge. Feels good." Inclement weather in the area twice delayed
Wednesday's game - pushing the start back three hours to 2:00 p.m., and a 40-minute delay in the top of the eighth inning. When the game did begin, both starting pitchers were dominating. Drew Parrish
allowed just one run in six innings for the Seminoles, his second superb outing against the Irish this season. In March, the Rockledge, Fla., native allowed just one unearned run in nine innings of
FSU's 5-1 win. Brad Bass allowed just two hits and three walks in four innings, while striking out three, before being replaced by Brandon Bielak. Nick Podkul's first of two home runs on the day,
in the sixth inning, opened the scoring and gave the Fighting Irish a 1-0 lead. Lueck immediately answered for the Seminoles, however, hitting his first two-run home run of the game after Dylan Busby
walked on four pitches in the bottom of the sixth. With a 2-1 lead, Busby's two-out double scored Matt Henderson, who also reached on a walk. Busby and Lueck combined for five of FSU's eight hits
on the afternoon. In the eighth, with rain starting to fall, the Seminoles turned to Jim Voyles. Podkul opened the inning with his second solo home run of the day to shrink the FSU lead to 3-2, and
Jake Johnson followed with a single to right field. Closer Drew Carlton took over from Voyles and allowed a one-out double to Ryan Lidge, allowing Johnson to score from first and tie the score at
3-3. After a ball to the next batter, the field was cleared for a 40-minute rain delay. After the break, Carlton returned to the mound and struck out Daniel Jung looking as Notre Dame left two of
its 14 runners on base. Nick Derr pinch hit for Tyler Holton in the eighth inning, and Steven Wells took over in rightfield in the top of the ninth. In the 11th inning, Wells had perhaps FSU's
biggest defensive play of the season - a perfect throw to catcher Cal Raleigh on a Matt Vierling fly out to nab Jake Shepski at the plate and end the inning with the score still tied at 3-3. The
FSU pitching staff continually worked out of trouble late in the game as the Fighting Irish left at least one runner on base for the final seven innings. Andrew Karp (2-3) took over for Carlton in the
11th and allowed four hits, but three of the runners were stranded in addition to Shepski's out at the plate on Wells' assist. Sean Guenther (2-6) was great for Notre Dame in relief of Bielak,
allowing just three hits in 5.0 innings. In the 12th, Guenther recorded two quick strikeouts before Busby singled to center field and Lueck hit his second-career walk-off home run. "Our young men
were battling. Notre Dame was battling," Martin said. "I can't say enough about just the atmosphere in the dugouts, and sometimes you're a little disappointed that there weren't a lot of people here
to see it. But there were people watching it on TV, and they got their money's worth." Postgame Notes: Noles Reach ACC Semis Behind Holton's 10-K Masterpiece. "It was a ballgame that we knew was going to be very tough because we're playing a very good, tough team," head coach Mike Martin said of Louisville. "It just happened that a
couple of things went our way early. We took advantage of it." After finishing the regular season with a three-game series against the Cardinals, the Seminoles extended its 10-day trip in Derby
City at least one more day with Friday's win. Florida State won both games at Jim Patterson Stadium last Thursday and Friday before Saturday's finale was rained out. In the ACC Championship,
Louisville earned the top-seed while the Seminoles were seeded eighth, meaning FSU had to beat both Notre Dame and the Cardinals to advance to Saturday's semifinals. In two games against the
Cardinals over the past week, Holton has thrown 16 innings, allowing just nine hits and four walks, while striking out 21. His two earned runs in that span give him a 1.13 earned run average and
Holton is now 2-0 against a team that entered the final series of the year 46-7. Facing a good team like that, they can hit a lot of good pitches in and out of the zone," Holton said. "I did kind
of change up tendencies [from last week], throwing more fastballs in, seemed to help this game. But definitely, I was throwing whatever was working and trying to keep them off balance." In a
rematch of last Friday's matchup between Holton and Louisville's Kade McClure (7-3), Florida State (37-20) scored a pair of runs in the first inning to take a 2-0 lead before the Cardinals (47-10) got
an at-bat. Taylor Walls led off the game with a five-pitch walk, and Dylan Busby lined a double to right field off the glove of a diving Colin Lyman to give FSU runners at second and third. Walls
raced home after a McClure wild pitch, and after review, the Seminoles led 1-0. Quincy Nieporte followed with his team-high 17th double, scoring Busby from second to double the FSU lead. Louisville
answered with an unearned run in the third. The Cardinals eight- and nine-hole hitters reached on singles, and both runners advanced on a passed ball from catcher Cal Raleigh. Josh Stowers' RBI
groundout made it 2-1 FSU, but Holton answered with his third strikeout of the game to end the frame. The Seminoles immediately responded with two runs in the top of the fourth. Raleigh walked and
Drew Mendoza singled, paving the way for Matt Henderson's two-run single to give FSU a 4-1 lead. In the bottom of the fourth, J.C. Flowers and Henderson made outstanding defensive catches, though
only one of them counted. Devin Mann reached on a fielding error by Walls at shortstop, but Henderson laid out for a diving catch off the bat of Ryan Summers that appeared to end the inning. Summers
was ruled safe at first after catcher's interference on Raleigh, giving the Cardinals two runners on with two outs. Pat Rumoro, Louisville's third-string catcher starting for the injured Colby
Fitch, lined what appeared to be a two-run double to center field, but Flowers laid out for an outstanding catch that kept FSU's lead at 4-1 through four innings. McClure exited in the fifth after
loading the bases with two outs, but reliever Sam Bordner retired Henderson swinging to prevent any damage. ACC Player of the Year Brendan McKay closed the gap to 4-2 with his 17th home run of the
season to lead off the sixth inning. It was the final run the Cardinals would score. Holton would pitch two more innings, exiting after recording two strikeouts, his ninth and tenth of the game, in
the eighth inning. Holton allowed four hits and one earned run, lowering his season ERA to 2.43. After the Seminoles added a pair of runs in the top of the ninth on Jackson Lueck's two-run double
that scored Walls and Busby, Drew Carlton entered in a non-save situation and retired the Cardinals in order. Postgame Notes: Sands, Busby Lead Noles Past Duke, into #ACCBase Final. LOUISVILLE, KY
- For the third straight season, Florida State (38-20) will play in the ACC Baseball Championship Game after defeating Duke 5-1 Saturday afternoon at Louisville Slugger Field. Cole Sands (6-3) set
career-highs for innings pitched (6.2) and strikeouts (8), while tallying season-lows in hits allowed (2) and walks (0) and sat down 15 consecutive Duke (30-28) hitters from the first to sixth
innings. "No question that the key to the ballgame was the outstanding pitching Cole Sands gave us," head coach Mike Martin said. "It was unfortunate that the weather came like it did and he wasn't
able to finish the seventh, but got a good relief group that did an outstanding job." A 90-minute rain delay halted the game in the seventh inning, with FSU leading 5-0. Sands was one of four FSU
pitchers that combined to allow just five hits and strikeout 11 without giving up a walk. Offensively, FSU's top three hitters were 7-for-11 with five runs scored, four RBI, three doubles, a triple
and a home run, as well as drawing three walks. Taylor Walls had a pair of hits and two walks; Dylan Busby had two doubles and his team-high 13th home run of the season; and Jackson Lueck hit a triple
and added a seventh-inning single. For the second consecutive game, eight-seed Florida State scored a pair of first-inning runs to take a 2-0 lead on the ninth-seeded Blue Devils. Busby hit his
third double of the tournament off the right field wall, and scored on Lueck's first triple of the season and third of his career. Lueck scored on Quincy Nieporte's team-high 70th RBI of the year.
In the third inning, Walls doubled off the left field wall and Busby launched his 13th home run of the season to double FSU's lead to 4-0. Busby's home run was his fifth in the ACC Championship over
the past two seasons after hitting four as a sophomore in 2016. Busby added his third RBI of the game in the fourth with his second double of the game, scoring Walls. Saturday was Busby's first
career game with three extra-base hits. On the mound, Sands was dominant from the very beginning. The sophomore from Tallahassee set career-highs with 6.2 innings pitched and eight strikeouts
before being pulled after the rain delay. Sands also did not allow a walk for the first time in 15 starts this season, while the two hits allowed were also his fewest this year. "I think fastball
command, and just tried getting ahead on all the hitters," Sands said of what was working for him Saturday. "That opened up to throwing some off-speed for strikes, and then just commanding the
fastball really helped me." After allowing a first-inning single to Michael Smiciklas, Sands retired 15 consecutive hitters before allowing a one-out single in the sixth to Chris Proctor. Smiciklas
was hit by a pitch to advance Proctor to second, but Sands forced a Griffin Conine groundout to get out of the frame unscathed. Sands was pulled after striking out Jack Labosky and getting Kennie
Taylor to groundout before the rain delay. Chase Haney recorded two outs, Alec Byrd recorded three, and Jim Voyles entered to retire the final two hitters. Duke pushed its only run across in the ninth
inning on three consecutive singles, but Voyles forced Zack Kone to fly out to center field to end the game. "That was his best outing...and it's encouraging," Martin said of Sands. "There is
another classic example of what I was alluding to - a young man that's gotten stronger, he's maturing, and he had the best outing of the year. "Now, let's carry that forward. Hopefully when he
pitches again, he'll be a different guy. Meaning, even better. He had a good outing obviously." This is Florida State's 13th appearance in the Championship Game since joining the ACC in 1992. FSU
has won six, most recently in 2015 in Durham, N.C. The Seminoles have never played Miami or North Carolina in an ACC Championship Game. FSU is 2-2 all-time against the Hurricanes, and 10-1 against the
Tar Heels. Postgame Notes: Noles Rally To Claim ACC Championship. LOUISVILLE, KY - The tide turned in Florida
State's favor late, but in ample time for the Seminoles to claim their second Atlantic Coast Conference Baseball Championship in three years. Drew Mendoza hit two home runs, including a three-run
shot that capped a five-run eighth-inning, and No. 8 seed FSU rallied to derail the second-seeded and second-ranked Tar Heels, 7-3, in Sunday's title game at Louisville Slugger Field. The Seminoles
(39-20) also received a solid group pitching effort, as starter Andrew Karp and three relievers combined to hold a vaunted UNC offense that had averaged nearly 13 runs in its first three tournament
games scoreless through the final seven innings. The ACC baseball title is FSU's seventh, all of which have come under veteran head coach Mike Martin. The Seminoles completed a 6-0 stretch in the
city of Louisville over the past 10 days. FSU closed the regular season with two road wins at the University of Louisville on May 18 and 19 before winning four games this week en route to claiming the
ACC Championship trophy. FSU became just the second No. 8 seed in the 44-year history of the ACC Baseball Championship to win the title, joining the 2011 Georgia Tech squad. UNC (47-12) lost for
just the fourth time in its last 22 games. Florida State trailed 3-2 entering the top of the eighth inning and had mustered only three hits off three UNC pitchers. But Taylor Walls led off with a
single and Dylan Busby was hit by a pitch to put runners at first and second. Tar Heel freshman Josh Hiatt then threw two consecutive wild pitches, allowing Walls to score the tying run and moving
Busby to third. After Jackson Lueck struck out and Quincy Nieporte drew an intentional walk, Cal Raleigh singled to left field to plate Busby and make it 4-3. Mendoza followed with a towering,
366-foot blast to right field for his second home run of the day and a 7-3 Seminole lead. Alec Byrd (3-2) picked up the win on the mound for FSU, while Hiatt (4-2) took the loss for UNC. Tyler
Lynn's one-out homer jump-started UNC in the bottom of the second. Zack Gahagan followed with a single up the middle and scored on Michael Busch's RBI double. Two errors by Mendoza at first on Brian
Miller's hard-hit grounder allowed Busch to score and put the Tar Heels up 3-0. But UNC would not get another hit until the eighth inning. The Seminoles forced UNC starter Tyler Baum from the game
in the top of the first, loading the bases on a pair of walks and a single by Matt Henderson. Busby's RBI grounder put FSU on the board, but reliever Taylor Sugg retired Lueck on a high chopper back
to the mound to leave the score at 3-1. The Tar Heels loaded the bases with no outs in the bottom of the fourth on two walks and a hit batter. But left-hander Drew Parrish came on in relief to
strike out Cody Roberts, Miller and Logan Warmoth to douse the threat. UNC left 10 total runners on base during the course of Sunday's game, and FSU left nine stranded. Mendoza led off the seventh
inning by sending a 1-2 pitch from Hiatt to deep right for his sixth home run of the season to bring the Seminoles within 3-2 and set the stage for the dramatic eighth inning.
Noles Drop NCAA Tournament Opener to Tennessee Tech.
TALLAHASSEE, FL - Coming off a six-game winning streak in Louisville to win the ACC Championship last week, top-seed Florida State (39-21) fell 3-1 to four-seed Tennessee Tech (41-19) Friday night on
Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium to open the 2017 NCAA Tournament. Freshman pitcher Drew Parrish allowed just two hits and struck out 12 in 7.1 innings, but the FSU bullpen allowed five hits
and a pair of runs in the loss. Parrish was outstanding for the Seminoles, matching his previous career-high of seven strikeouts in the third inning en route to 12 in 7.1 innings. The 12 strikeouts
are the most for a Florida State pitcher in the postseason since Luke Weaver had 14 against Troy in 2013. Both teams entered the game with dynamic offenses, but the game turned into a pitching
matchup from the very beginning. Parrish struck out the side in the first inning to work around his only walk allowed. The Golden Eagles got their first hit in the fourth inning, a single from Kevin
Strohschein, but he was erased on a groundout from Ryan Flick. FSU first threatened against Tech starter Michael Wood in the bottom of the fourth, when Dylan Busby was hit by a pitch and Jackson
Lueck followed with a walk. With two on and no outs, Busby was picked off second base and Quincy Nieporte struck out to end the threat, and Cal Raleigh grounded out to end the inning. The Seminoles
did tag Wood for the first run of the game in the sixth. J.C. Flowers walked and Taylor Walls singled through the right side. After a pair of fly outs from Busby and Lueck, Nieporte singled to score
Flowers. The inning ended, however, with Nieporte getting caught in a rundown rounding first base. The Golden Eagles scored three runs in the eighth and ninth innings to pick up its first win
all-time against the Seminoles (1-3). After a single and a sacrifice bunt to open the eighth, Parrish was pulled after 97 pitches in favor of Drew Carlton (3-4). Nick Osborne quickly hit his fifth
double of the season to tie the score and close the book on Parrish - 7.1 innings, two hits, one earned run, 12 strikeouts. After Tennessee Tech tied the score, Carlton notched two more outs to get
FSU out of the inning. In the ninth, Carlton allowed a single and double before being pulled in favor Alec Byrd. Flick, the first batter Byrd faced, hit a game-winning, two-run double down the
right field line to give the Golden Eagles a 3-1 lead. Flick's double was his 24th of the season and the two runs batted in give him 74 on the year. On the mound, Travis Moths (5-1) relieved Wood
to open the seventh inning and did not allow a Seminole to reach base. Down two in the bottom of the ninth, Moths forced groundouts from Busby and Lueck before Nieporte struck out swinging to end the
game. Walls, Lueck, Nieporte and Matt Henderson each had one hit for the Seminoles.
Holton Dazzles as Noles Stave Off Elimination. TALLAHASSEE,
FL - Tyler Holton struck out 13 batters Saturday against UCF (40-22), helping Florida State (40-21) to a 6-1 win over the Knights in an elimination game at the Tallahassee Regional. Holton improved to
10-2 on the afternoon, allowing one unearned run and just six hits, while his 13 strikeouts tied a career high and he did not walk a batter. Holton hit double-digit strikeouts for the third
consecutive game and the sixth time this season, the first Seminole with six games of 10 or more strikeouts in a season since Jonathan Johnson in 1995. Over the past four games, all against ranked
opponents, Holton has allowed just two earned runs over 34 innings (0.53 ERA), striking out 43 and walking just four. In two complete games against Wake Forest (5/13) and UCF, Holton combined for 22
strikeouts and no walks. Holton's 13 strikeouts Saturday tie his career high (Oakland, 3/4) and give him 132 on the season, the most for a Seminole since 2000 and the 13th most in a single season
in school history. He is FSU's first 10-game winner since Scott Sitz and Brandon Leibrandt in 2013. Offensively, FSU used a pair of home runs to take a 4-0 lead through five innings. Jackson Lueck,
the Atlantic Coast Conference Championship MVP last week, hit a three-run home run off UCF starter Chris Williams (5-4). Lueck missed both games against the Knights earlier this season due to shin
splints. It was Lueck's ninth home run of the season, more than doubling his total of four as a freshman in 2016. Jason Bahr entered for Williams in the fifth, and Taylor Walls led off with his
sixth home run of the season. Bahr would go on to pitch three innings, retiring all nine outs via strikeout, but allowed a pair of runs as FSU built its lead to 5-0 in the sixth inning on an RBI
single from Steven Wells. UCF broke through offensively with an unearned run in the seventh inning, aided by a pair of throwing errors from FSU infielders. Rylan Thomas reached on an error by Walls
and Logan Heiser reached on an error by Dylan Busby. Matthew Mika's two-out single made the score 5-1, but Holton responded with a strike out of Luke Hamblin to end the inning. FSU tacked on an
insurance run in the top of the ninth. Busby singled and Quincy Nieporte walked, followed by a single from Cal Raleigh that diving centerfielder Hamblin could not corral. With two outs, Matt Henderson
reached on a fielding error that allowed Busby to score, but Hank Truluck, running for Nieporte, was thrown out at the plate to end the inning. In the ninth, Holton threw 10 pitches and recorded
his 13th strikeout. Mika flied out to Lueck in left field to end the game on Holton's 129th pitch of the afternoon. Walls, Nieporte and Henderson each had two hits for the Seminoles on the
afternoon. The win extends FSU's season to at least Sunday against the loser of the Tennessee Tech-Auburn game. The win also gives Florida State 40 wins for an unprecedented 40-consecutive seasons.
The next longest active streak is six years by Louisville and LSU. After the game, head coach Mike Martin announced that right-hander Cole Sands (6-3, 5.30 ERA) will start for the Seminoles on
Sunday.
Noles Top Tennessee Tech to Extend Season. TALLAHASSEE, FL – Florida State (41-21) won its second elimination game of the Tallahassee Regional,
beating Tennessee Tech 5-3 Sunday afternoon on Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium. FSU got six of its 11 hits from the 6-9 slots in the lineup, and Alec Byrd improved to 4-2 after allowing one
run in 2.2 innings of relief. Tennessee Tech (41-21) twice took one run leads and FSU immediately answered to tie the game. In the second inning, after a two-hour, 25-minute rain delay, FSU starter
Cole Sands walked Ryan Flick, Chris Brown singled off the right field wall, and Matt Jones was hit by a pitch to load the bases. A bases loaded walk to Collin Harris, the nine-hole hitter, gave the
Golden Eagles a 1-0 lead. Sands answered with a strike out of Alex Junior. Florida State, the away team by virtue of a coin toss Saturday evening, tied the game in the top of the third inning.
Dylan Busby walked, moved to second on a balk by Tech's Ethan Roberts (1-4), and scored on Jackson Lueck's RBI single. Evan Fraliex, the Tennessee Tech starting pitcher, allowed three hits in two
innings and did not return after the rain delay. Sands was pulled with one out in the fifth inning after a pair of singles gave Tech runners on first and second. Byrd allowed an RBI single to
Flick, but settled down to retire the next two batters to get out of the inning. Mendoza's eighth home run of the season tied the score in the sixth inning, and J.C. Flowers' RBI single to left
field scored Matt Henderson. Henderson finished 2-for-2 and is hitting .279 on the season after hitting just .190 over the season's first two months. Byrd allowed just one baserunner over the sixth
and seventh innings en route to a season-high five strikeouts. In the seventh, Tech left a runner on second as Byrd struck out the side. FSU added a pair of insurance runs in the eighth inning on
an RBI single from Steven Wells and a sacrifice fly from Flowers. In the bottom of the inning, Tech put the first two runners on base against Byrd and FSU brought Drew Carlton in for a six-out save.
Harris singled with two outs to score one, but Carlton induced a pop up to Junior to get out of trouble. The Golden Eagles did bring the winning run to the plate in the bottom of the ninth after a
pair of singles, but Carlton caught Brown looking to end the game and send FSU to the night cap against Auburn.
Walk-Off HBP Leads FSU Past Auburn, Forces Monday Rematch.
TALLAHASSEE, FL - For the third time in two days, Florida State (42-21) won an elimination game, this time an 8-7, 10-inning win over Auburn (37-25) on a walk-off hit by pitch of J.C. Flowers on Mike
Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium. The Seminoles and Tigers will play the final game of the regional Monday at 7:00 p.m., with the winner advancing to next weekend's Super Regional. The game
appeared destined for a slugfest, with FSU leading 6-3 through three innings. But Auburn's run in the eighth inning was the only other run scored before a wild ninth inning that saw Auburn score three
runs to take a 7-6 lead and Florida State answer on Dylan Busby's second triple of the season to score Taylor Walls. In the 10th, Auburn stranded a pair of runners, and Florida State loaded the bases
on two walks and an infield single before Flowers was plunked to score Drew Mendoza. Auburn's first batter of the game, Jonah Todd, reached on a fielding error by Walls at shortstop and scored on
Jay Estes' sacrifice fly. FSU answered with an unearned run of its own in the bottom of the inning when Walls reached on a single, took second on an error by shortstop Will Holland and scored on
Quincy Nieporte's 72nd RBI of the season. Nieporte finished with three hits on the day, including his 18th double of the season in the eighth inning before being replaced on the base path by Hank
Truluck. Auburn retook the lead in the second inning on Blake Logan's RBI single, and FSU seemed to take control in the bottom of the inning with five runs, including three on Busby's team-high
14th home of the year that gave FSU a 6-2 lead. Earlier in the inning, Tyler Holton had a two-run single that gave FSU the lead. Back-to-back doubles in the third inning, the second by Estes,
closed the lead to 6-3. Andrew Karp, FSU's starting pitcher, settled down after the third inning, finishing with 6.2 innings pitched and three earned runs allowed. Auburn starter Davis Daniel lasted
just one inning, giving up five hits and four runs. Cole Lipscomb entered in the second inning and allowed Busby's home run, but gave up just three more hits in 7.2 innings to keep the Tigers in
the game. After walking Mendoza to open the third inning, Lipscomb retired 15 straight hitters before Nieporte's double to start the eighth. After an RBI single from Daniel Robert made it 6-4 in
the seventh inning, Jim Voyles relieved Karp with a runner on second base. Voyles struck out Estes to end the inning, and needed just nine pitches in the eighth inning to keep FSU's lead at 6-4
heading into the ninth inning. The wild ninth inning started with three consecutive Auburn hits off Voyles, the third of which was an RBI single from Todd that made the score 6-5. Drew Carlton
(4-4), who earned his sixth save of the year in the first game of the day against Tennessee Tech, came in and forced a dribbler back to the mound that appeared to catch Holland in a run down at the
plate, but Cal Raleigh was called for catcher's interference, loading the bases with no outs. Carlton struck out the next two hitters. With a 1-2 count and all of Dick Howser Stadium on its feet,
Josh Anthony hit a 1-2 pitch into center field to score Holland and Todd and give Auburn its first lead since the second inning. Leading 7-6, Auburn recorded two quick outs and Florida State was
twice down to its last strike. Walls drew a full count walk, and Busby tripled off the center field wall on a full count, scoring Walls and sending the remaining Howser fans into a frenzy. Busby was
the last hitter Lipscomb would face, giving way to Andrew Mitchell (5-4), who stranded Busby at third when he struck out Jackson Lueck to end the inning. Lipscomb finished with a season-high 7.2
innings pitched and a career-high 10 strikeouts. Auburn left a pair of runners on in the tenth as Carlton worked around a second error from Walls' and an intentional walk. In the home half, Nick
Derr (hitting for Truluck) struck out and Raleigh grounded out. But Mendoza and Matt Henderson each walked on nine total pitches, ending Mitchell's day. Calvin Coker came in and gave up an infield
single to Steven Wells that hit off Coker. On an 0-2 pitch, after a foul ball extended the at-bat, Flowers was hit for the 10th time this season, sending Mendoza and the Howser faithful home happy.
Zirzow Pitches Complete-Game Shutout to Send FSU to Supers. TALLAHASSEE, FL - Redshirt junior Will Zirzow went the distance, allowing just two hits and facing just two batters over the minimum, and Florida State (43-21) reached its
third-consecutive Super Regional with a 6-0 win over Auburn (37-26) on Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium Monday evening. Zirzow, making his first appearance in 26 days, also struck out 11
Tigers and did not walk any, while the FSU offense produced 10 hits on the evening. Zirzow (3-1) last pitched for the Seminoles on May 9 when he started against Jacksonville. The Fleming Island,
Fla., native made his fourth career start Monday night and set career-highs for innings pitched (previous was five) and strikeouts (previous was seven) while allowing a hit to just one Auburn player
(Blake Logan was 2-for-3). Florida State jumped on Auburn starter Gabe Klobosits (0-1) early, and the Tiger senior was pulled after just 15 pitches. Taylor Walls drew his 57th walk of the season to
start the game and Dylan Busby, Sunday night's hero, hit his team-high 19th double of the season to give FSU a 1-0 lead. Jackson Lueck drew a walk before Klobosits was pulled for Calvin Coker.
Quincy Nieporte bunted the runners up a base, and Cal Raleigh's groundout single made the score 2-0 FSU. Busby added his 20th double in the sixth inning. Meanwhile, Zirzow did not allow an
Auburn baserunner until hitting Dylan Ingram with a pitch to start the fifth inning. Josh Anthony reached on a fielder's choice and advanced to second on Jay Estes' sacrifice bunt, the only time
Auburn had a runner in scoring position. Zirzow answered by striking out Sam Gillikin for the first of two times on the night. Logan's first hit of the night came in the sixth inning, but he was
erased on a double play off the bat of Will Holland. After a perfect seventh and eighth inning, Logan again singled in the ninth before Zirzow retired the next three to end the game. After two runs
in the first, Florida State was stalled offensively by Calvin Coker, who went five innings and allowed just three hits. The Seminoles did score in each of the final three innings on a throwing error
from pitcher Ryan Watson; two in the eighth on RBI doubles from Nieporte and Drew Mendoza; and one in the ninth on Steven Wells' first home run of the season and third of his career. Zirzow's
complete game is FSU's second this postseason (Tyler Holton vs. UCF), while his 11 strikeouts are the third-most in FSU's five games in the regional (Holton 13, Drew Parrish 12 vs. Tennessee Tech).
Florida State advanced to its third-consecutive Super Regional, ninth in 10 years and 16th in 19 seasons since the Super Regional format was instituted. FSU's 16 appearances are the most in the
country in that span. The Seminoles will play Sam Houston State, winners of the Lubbock Regional after knocking off Texas Tech in the Regional Final on Monday afternoon.
Noles Ride Lueck's Four RBI to Game One Victory. TALLAHASSEE, FL
- Sophomore Jackson Lueck was 4-for-5 with four runs batted in, none bigger than his walk-off single in the bottom of the ninth, as FSU beat Sam Houston State 7-6 in the first game of the Tallahassee
Super Regional Saturday afternoon on Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium. The Seminoles outslugged the Bearkats, 13-7, and all 20 hits in the game were singles. Lueck continued an impressive
run through the NCAA Tournament, now hitting 10-for-24 with a double, home run, and eight RBI. Lueck's walk-off was the fifth of his career and third this season, and his four hits were a career
high. Sam Houston State, under third-year head coach Matt Deggs, was playing in its first Super Regional ever, and quickly took a 3-0 lead in the first inning against Florida State ace Tyler
Holton. The first three hitters of the game reached on a walk, single, and fielding error from Holton that loaded the bases. Holton retired the next two via strikeout, but Jaxxon Grisham was hit by a
pitch, and Hunter Hearn's two-run single pushed the lead to three. In the second, Sam Houston State added another unearned run on Andrew Fregia's groundout, scoring Riley McKnight. Holton's second
error of the game, on a failed pickoff attempt that sailed into center field, advanced two runners into scoring position before Fregia's RBI. Bearkat starting pitcher Kyle Backhus went just two
innings, allowing a run in the second inning on Steven Wells single to score Cal Raleigh. Both teams scored a run in the third but could have had more. With the bases loaded and one out, Taylor
Beene dropped a sacrifice bunt down that scored Grisham from third, but Hearn also tried to score from second and was easily thrown out at the plate. In the bottom half, Taylor Walls walked, Dylan
Busby singled and Lueck singled to make the score 5-2. With two runners on base and no outs, Quincy Nieporte grounded to third for the start of a 5-4-3 double play that halted the FSU momentum.
After a rocky first few innings, Holton faced the minimum in the middle innings, finishing with seven strikeouts and two earned runs (six total runs) allowed in 6.2 innings. The Bearkats added a run
in the seventh on a bases loaded walk that ended Holton's day. Trailing 6-3, Florida State tied the game in the seventh inning, starting with a two-out bunt single from Walls to extend the inning.
After Busby walked, Lueck, Nieporte and Raleigh each had RBI singles. Nieporte was picked off second base to end the inning. Chase Haney relieved Holton in the seventh, retiring all three batters
he faced. Closer Drew Carlton (5-4) allowed a two-out single in the eighth, but retired the next four batters in his team-high 33rd appearance of the season. The Bearkats also went to their closer
in the eighth, bringing in Nick Mikolajchak with one out in the inning. Working out of trouble in the eighth, Mikolajchak allowed a single from Walls and hit Busby with a pitch before Lueck's walk-off
single. The win was FSU's first walk-off win in the Super Regional since Mike McGee's walk-off home run in game one against Vanderbilt in 2010. FSU has won game one of a Super Regional five times
in 16 opportunities, and have advanced to Omaha on four of those occasions.
Omaha Bound! Noles Pound SHSU to Reach College World Series. TALLAHASSEE, FL -
For the 22nd time in school history, Florida State is going to Omaha for the College World Series after beating Sam Houston State 19-0 Sunday evening on Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium. In
front of 4,391 fans that braved a seven-and-a-half-hour rain delay, the Seminoles scored in each of the first six innings, while three pitchers combined for a four-hit shutout. Sunday's game was
originally scheduled for a noon start, but rain and lightning delays moved first pitch back to 7:30 p.m. Sam Houston State starting pitcher Heath Donica (9-3) entered the game with a 1.91 earned-runs
average, but allowed four runs in each of the first two innings, including a lead-off home run from Taylor Walls, his third to lead off a game this season. Donica ran into more trouble by walking
Jackson Lueck and hitting Quincy Nieporte with a pitch before Cal Raleigh doubled one run home and Matt Henderson's two-run double made the score 4-0 Florida State before Sam Houston, the designated
home team, came to bat in the first inning. After recording 13 hits in Saturday's 7-6 win, the Seminoles had three extra-base hits in the first inning Sunday evening, and seven of its first eight
were doubles or home runs. On the mound, Parrish (6-3) picked up where he left off last week in the regional against Tennessee Tech by striking out the side in the first. Parrish set a career-high
with 12 strikeouts against the Golden Eagles and allowed just one run on two hits in 7.1 innings. On Sunday, the Rockledge, Fla., native allowed just two hits, a walk and notched nine more strikeouts
in five scoreless innings. The Seminoles doubled the lead in the second inning on an RBI single from Lueck and a three-run home run from Nieporte, his 10th of the season. Donica's day ended after
the second inning, allowing a career-high eight runs. Walls' second home run of the game came on the second pitch of the third inning against reliever Seth Ballew. It was Walls' second career
multi-home run game after hitting two against Florida Gulf Coast in 2016. In the fourth, FSU scored six runs without a hit, utilizing one hit-by-pitch, three walks, and three Sam Houston State
errors to build a 15-0 lead. FSU added a run in the fifth after Walls and Dylan Busby singled, Lueck walked and Nieporte was hit by a pitch for the second time in the game to score Walls. Walls
scored a run in each of the first five innings. It was the first five-run game for a Seminole since Jayce Boyd scored five times against Texas A&M in the 2011 Super Regionals, and one shy of tying the
school record. Walls and Nieporte each had four RBIs on the afternoon, the second time this year FSU had a pair of players with four runs batted in in a game (Nieporte & Lueck, Oakland, March
3). Cole Sands relieved Parrish in the bottom of the sixth inning with FSU leading 18-0. Sands finished with two hits allowed in three innings of relief, striking out four. Kyle Cavanaugh hit
his first home run as a Seminole to start the eighth inning off Sam Houston State's sixth pitcher of the game, Brad Demco. FSU's 19 runs scored are the most in a postseason game since a 23-9 win over
Texas A&M in the 2011 Super Regionals, and the largest run differential in FSU's 37-game Super Regional history. Andrew Karp pitched a perfect ninth inning, striking out Lance Miles to end the game
as his teammates dogpiled at midfield to celebrate the Seminoles first World Series berth since 2012. The Bearkats, playing in their first Super Regional, allowed a season high 19 runs and played
22 players.
Miscues Trip Up Seminoles in College World Series Opener. OMAHA, NE - A pair of unearned runs in the eighth inning led LSU (49-17) over Florida State (45-22) in Saturday's College World Series at TD Ameritrade Park in front of 25,305 fans.
Each of FSU's top seven hitters had at least one hit, led by Dylan Busby's two hits and Taylor Walls' three runs scored. Tyler Holton (10-3) was the hard-luck loser for the Seminoles, allowing five
runs (three earned) and striking out five in 7.1 innings pitched. Jared Poche' (11-3) earned the win in his first relief appearance of the season, allowing just two hits in 2.2 innings in relief of
starter Alex Lange. Lange, a first round selection in the MLB Draft earlier this week, allowed four runs on seven hits in six innings, striking out eight and walking four. Florida State struck
first, scoring two in the top of the first inning on Busby's 15th home run of the season. Busby's home run was one of the longest in TD Ameritrade Park history, clearing the '408' sign at the top of
the centerfield wall. Busby's 15 home runs are the most of his career, while his 38 career home runs are the most among active players in the Atlantic Coast Conference. LSU cut the deficit in half
in the bottom of the inning. After getting Robertson and Cole Freeman out to start the inning, Antoine Duplantis walked and scored from first when Greg Deichmann struck out and reached on a wild
pitch. Holton responded by forcing Zach Watson to pop up and end the inning. In the third, Walls and Busby again combined to extend FSU's lead. Walls doubled to lead off the inning and Busby's
second hit of the game, an RBI single up the middle, scored Walls and gave FSU a 3-1 lead. Busby stole second and reached third on a wild pitch on Quincy Nieporte's walk, but both runners were
stranded when Cal Raleigh and Drew Mendoza struck out swinging. LSU again answered in the bottom of the inning on a pair of singles. Beau Jordan singled to right field and was replaced at first
base on Freeman's fielder's choice groundout. Freeman stole second base and scored on Duplantis's single to centerfield. Walls was the catalyst of FSU's run in the fifth inning as well, reaching on
a walk and scoring on Quincy Nieporte's 79th RBI of the year. Dating back to game one of the Super Regional against Sam Houston State, Walls reached base successfully in 14 consecutive plate
appearances, breaking Paul Sorrento's school-record of 13 from 1985. Walls also took over the national lead in walks in the game, adding three and pushing his season total to 66. He entered the
College World Series trailing Seth Beer of Clemson by one. Walls' three runs scored in the game give him 81 on the year, second-most in the country and two behind LSU's Kramer Robertson. Nieporte's
79 runs batted in this year are the most for a Seminole since Buster Posey had 93 in 2008. The Tigers got its run back on the first pitch in the bottom of the inning, when Michael Papierski hit his
ninth home run of the season. Holton retired the next six hitters, and worked around a walk and single in the seventh when Jordan grounded into an inning-ending 5-4-3 double play. Both teams combined
to hit into five double plays on the evening. FSU took a 4-3 lead to the eighth inning with Holton back on the mound to start the inning. A one-out single off Holton's glove from Freeman was
followed by a single to right field from Duplantis. Steven Wells had two errors on the play, one by letting the ball roll past him in right field and a second on the throw to the infield that allowed
Freeman to score. Busby picked up the loose ball and threw to get Freeman at the plate, but Raleigh dropped the throw and Duplantis scooted to third base with the score tied 4-4. After the play,
Holton was pulled for Alec Byrd, who allowed a Greg Deichmann single through the right side that gave its first lead of the game at 5-4. Drew Carlton came in and retired both hitters he faced to limit
the inning. In the ninth, Matt Henderson had his second of two hits on the day to lead off the inning, but Nick Derr struck out looking as a pinch hitter for Wells and Kyle Cavanaugh struck out
swinging as a pinch hitter for Flowers before Zack Hess entered and earned his second save of the year. Hess walked Walls to put two runners on base, but Busby struck out looking to end the
game.
Three-run Seventh Leads FSU Comeback vs. Cal State Fullerton in CWS. OMAHA, NE - Playing in the 1,000th game in College World Series history, head coach Mike Martin and Florida State outlasted Cal State Fullerton, 6-4, Monday
afternoon at TD Ameritrade Park to stave off elimination for the fifth time in the NCAA Tournament. Drew Mendoza hit a home run to lead off the sixth inning, and three FSU relievers combined to allow
just one hit, one walk and no runs over the final 3.1 innings. "It was a heck of a ballgame," Martin said after the game. "It was a game in which Drew [Parrish] pitched very well. I thought the
composure and tenacity was right there. He showed that he was not intimidated by the surroundings or the excitement." Florida State (46-22) scored a run in the second, fourth and sixth innings to
build a 3-1 lead, but Cal State Fullerton (39-24) scored three runs in the bottom of the sixth, the last two on Timmy Richards' two-run home run that ended the day for FSU starter Drew Parrish. FSU
answered with a three-run inning of its own, aided by three consecutive walks from Titan pitching, as Chase Haney (3-2) won his first game since April 28 against Virginia. Steven Wells gave FSU a
1-0 lead in the second inning on an RBI single. Drew Mendoza earned his first of two walks on the day and reached second on a failed pick-off attempt from Titans catcher Chris Hudgins. Matt Henderson
moved Mendoza to third base on his ninth sacrifice bunt of the year before Wells singled to left field. "I'm just excited to be here," Henderson said. "Throughout the season, we've all had our
adversities and challenges and we persevered through it, and that's been our mentality." In the bottom of the third, Fullerton loaded the bases with no outs on two walks and a bunt single. The
Titans tied the score on Scott Hurst's sacrifice fly, but Sahid Valenzuela grounded into a 5-4-3 double play that ended the inning. The Seminoles were in a similar situation in the top of the
fourth, loading the bases with no outs on Cal Raleigh's double, Mendoza's second walk and Henderson's single to left field. Wells tallied his second RBI on a sacrifice fly to center field that allowed
Raleigh to score just before Valenzuela applied the tag. Wells had two runs batted in during the regular season, and has six in nine postseason games. Fullerton head coach Rick Vanderhook pulled
starter John Gavin after Wells' at-bat, bringing in Gavin Velasquez. Velasquez sandwiched a walk to Taylor Walls between strikeouts to J.C. Flowers and Dylan Busby to limit the damage to just one
run. Gavin finished with 3.1 innings pitched, three hits and one earned run (two total), walking four and striking out one. Mendoza took the third pitch of the six inning off Velasquez into the
FSU bullpen in right field for his ninth home run of the season, pushing FSU's lead to 3-1. In five games in the College World Series, teams have combined to hit just five home runs, with two coming
from FSU: Mendoza's sixth-inning shot and Busby's home run to center field Saturday against LSU. Richards' has two for Cal State Fullerton as well. "I got just enough of it," Mendoza said of his
home run that cleared the right field wall. "I thought I was going to get a double or triple; I was running hard out of the box. I thought he (rightfielder Hunter Cullen) caught it. But I was glad I
got enough of it, and it was a really good feeling." After retiring 10 straight hitters, Parrish ran into problems in the sixth inning as the Titans scored three runs off the freshman left-hander.
Dillon Persinger hit a two-out RBI double that fell just short of a diving Flowers, and Richards hit his sixth home run of the year that gave Cal State Fullerton its first lead of the game at 4-3.
Parrish was pulled after 5.2 innings, allowing four earned runs on four hits, walking three and striking out four. Haney entered and forced a Taylor Bryant fly out to end the inning. Jack Pabich
allowed an infield single to Walls and a double off left fielder Chris Prescott's glove from Dylan Busby that put two runners on with no outs for Jackson Lueck. Blake Workman entered out of the Titan
bullpen and intentionally walked Lueck to load the bases, followed by back-to-back walks on 3-2 counts to Quincy Nieporte and Raleigh that gave FSU a 5-4 lead. With the bases loaded and still no
outs, Fullerton called its closer, Brett Conine, into the game. Conine got Mendoza swinging, but Henderson legged out an infield single that scored Lueck and made the score 6-4 FSU. After FSU
regained its two-run lead, Wells grounded into an inning-ending double play. Pabich (1-3) finished with two earned runs allowed on two hits without recording an out. Haney struck out Hudgins to
open the bottom of the seventh, retiring both batters faced and improving to 3-2 on the season. Alec Byrd entered and got the first four hitters out before Valenzuela reached on a fielding error.
Drew Carlton stepped in and forced a Persinger fly out to end the eighth inning. In the ninth, Carlton worked around a single and walk to strike out pinch hitter Hank LoForte looking to end the game
and earn his seventh save of the year. "You've just got to go in there and get outs as quick as you can," Carlton said. "Get your team back to the dugout. We have a great lineup, 1 through 9.
Knowing them, they're going to do their job and I have to do mine and get outs for us." "Drew is a great competitor," Martin said of Carlton. "He is a really great teammate. He's a guy that has the
same demeanor every single time he goes out there. I had a coach come up to me, when Drew walked one in the ninth, and said, 'Who do you want to get loose?' "I said, 'Nobody. This is his game.'"
Season Ends in College World Series Loss to LSU. OMAHA, NE - Florida State
saw its 2017 season come to an end Wednesday evening in a 7-4 loss against No. 3 LSU in the College World Series at TD Ameritrade Park. The Seminoles (46-23) hit three solo home runs, including
back-to-back shots in the bottom of the ninth, but LSU (50-18) used five runs in the second inning to knock off FSU for the second time in five days. "I don't know when I've ever been prouder of a
baseball team," head coach Mike Martin said. "They did their job in the classroom. They did their job on the field. We had tremendous leadership. Guys wanted the top of the mountain very bad, but
there's only one team that's going to leave here happy." Cole Sands (6-4) allowed four earned runs (five total) in 1.1 innings after allowing a three-run home to LSU first baseman Jake Slaughter.
Jared Poche' (12-3) beat FSU for the second time in the tournament, throwing eight innings, allowing seven hits, four runs and striking out four. After a 1-2-3 first inning, Sands allowed a double
and two singles to open the second as the Tigers took a 1-0 lead. LSU doubled its lead on Beau Jordan's sacrifice bunt, and after Michael Papierski reached on a fielding error, Slaughter's three-run
home run pushed LSU's lead to 5-0 and chased Sands from the game. Andrew Karp entered in relief of Sands and allowed just three hits, a walk and one hit batter over the next 5.1 scoreless innings.
It was the longest relief appearance of Karp's career as the redshirt sophomore racked up seven strikeouts in his first College World Series appearance. Mendoza's second home run of the College
World Series came with two outs in the bottom of the second off Poche' and closed the FSU gap to 5-1. In the sixth inning, Dylan Busby reached on a throwing error from second baseman Cole Freeman and
Jackson Lueck's double down the left field line put runners on second and third with one out. Quincy Nieporte, FSU's RBI leader, flied out to the left field warning track as Busby scored on the
sacrifice fly. Alec Byrd took over on the mound for Karp in the seventh inning, getting two outs. Drew Carlton entered with a runner on second in the eighth inning and allowed a walk to Jordan
before striking out Papierski and getting Slaughter to ground out to end the inning. LSU pushed its lead to five runs in the top of the ninth inning. Kramer Robertson singled off Carlton and stole
second base with no outs. On the steal of second, Robertson collided with FSU second baseman Matt Henderson, forcing the senior Henderson from the game. Henderson's five hits over three games are tied
for the most in the tournament so far. Antoine Duplantis reached on a fielder's choice that scored Robertson when Mendoza's throw home was high and Cal Raleigh could not apply the tag in time.
Duplantis scored on Zach Watson's RBI double to make the score 7-2. Nieporte and Raleigh hit back-to-back home runs in the bottom of the ninth to chase Poche' from the game and make the score 7-4.
It was the first time in TD Ameritrade Park history that a team has hit back-to-back home runs. The last time a team did it in the College World Series was in 2010, when FSU's Sherman Johnson and Mike
McGee did it against TCU. "Individually, it's nice to go out on top like that," Nieporte, a senior drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies, said after the game. "But we're all still hurting a little
bit right now just because we really believed that this was the team and we're kind of shocked that someone was able to knock us out because of how much fight we've shown." LSU turned to Zack Hess
to close out the game, and the freshman struck out Mendoza looking and Hank Truluck, who entered for Henderson, swinging for the first two outs. The Seminoles turned to Rhett Aplin, making his first
appearance in six weeks, to extend its season, and Aplin walked and gave way to J.C. Flowers to pinch run. Tyler Holton, FSU's starting pitcher against LSU on Saturday and the starting right
fielder on Wednesday, struck out looking to end the game as Hess earned his third save of the year. The Seminoles end the season 46-23 and reached the College World Series for the first time since
2012. FSU won the Atlantic Coast Conference championship for the seventh time in school history and won five NCAA Tournament elimination games before Wednesday night. "We gave it everything we had
and it wasn't meant to be," Martin said. "We gave it our best shot. We never felt sorry for ourselves. We kept battling."

Andrew Karp and Tyler Holton both earned wins on the day.
Florida State scored early and often against the Tigers, leading 7-0 after four innings and exploding for eight runs in the sixth to cement the 18-5 win. The 18 runs tied a
season-high for the Noles (Oakland, March 3), while the 17 hits set a season-high. Jackson Lueck's sixth home run of the season came on the first pitch of the sixth inning after the Tigers scored four
in the top of the frame to make the game 7-4.
Florida State swept a doubleheader for the third time this season, beating the Tigers 5-3 in the second game of the day. FSU's Andrew Karp (1-3) and Pacific's Cooper Casad (2-3) each
went 7.0 innings, but three FSU runs in the eighth inning provided the insurance needed to earn Florida State a 30th win for the 53rd consecutive season.
