No-No Noles!
Parrish, Grady, Haney combine for season-opening no-hitter vs. Maine.

By Tim Linafelt, Seminoles.com Senior Writer

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Superstitions and omens have long been welcomed inside baseball clubhouses, so perhaps no one who was at Dick Howser Stadium should be surprised by everything that took place here Friday afternoon.

Still, after watching No. 11 Florida State post an 11-0 victory in the final Opening Day of coach Mike Martin’s career – the same Martin who, of course, wears jersey No. 11 and answers to the nickname “Eleven” – even the most hardened of skeptics might have to take notice.

And if all the 11s weren’t enough, how about this?

Before the game, Chris Chavez, the former FSU All-American who in 1998 threw the program’s last solo no-hitter, visited the Seminoles’ dugout with his son.

A few hours later, FSU’s Chase Haney put the closing touches on the 10th no-hitter in school history, a feat he shared with starter Drew Parrish and reliever Conor Grady.

Heck of a way to start that final season, Coach.

“This was so much fun,” Martin said. “It’s very special. The closest that I think we’ve come to a no-hitter on Opening Day was us getting 1-hit. … It was a great memory tonight.”

A great one for the three pitchers, too. For themselves, of course, but also for providing their coach with yet another special moment. Told of Martin’s comments after the game, Parrish laughed and said, “I mean, the guy’s been around baseball longer than I’ve been alive two times in a row.

“For him to say that, after all that he’s seen, all the great players he’s coached, it’s just something you're going to remember for the rest of your life.”

The plan, of course, is for Martin to and FSU baseball to experience plenty of great memories over the next few months.

Some, like Martin’s upcoming 2,000th win – now just 12 away – are planned.

This one was not.

Optimistic as he was, Martin would’ve been hard-pressed to predict a no-hitter in his team’s opener.

Not with his starter, the former All-American Parrish, on a soft pitch count. (He was pulled after 65.) And not with his closer, Haney, making his first appearance since 2017 after missing last season with an injury.

And, for that matter, Martin might not have predicted that his new-look lineup would erupt for 12 hits and 11 runs, five of which were driven in by true freshman Robby Martin in his collegiate debut.

Near the end of his press conference, Martin reminded, as he often does, that there’s no sense in overreacting to one game. There will be highs and lows throughout the season, and how well his team rides them will likely determine where it spends its summer.

But it certainly doesn’t hurt to start this high.

“We couldn’t ask for a better start,” Grady said.

The very end was pretty good, too.

A few moments after bringing in the game’s final out, catcher Mat Nelson approached Martin with the ball and asked if he’d like to have it.

There’s only one ball from the final Opening Day of a 40-year career, after all.

Martin took it, put it in his pocket then flashed back to February 24, 1980.

After starting the season 0-2 in their new head coach’s first season, Martin’s Seminoles topped Miami, 9-8, to pick up the very first victory of what would become a legendary career.

After the game, catcher Craig Ramsey, whose son James would become an FSU All-American in 2012, approached Martin with the game ball.

“That was ironic,” Martin said with a smile. “(Nelson) said, ‘You want the first win from the last year?’”

It was the latest of thousands, and Martin hopes it’s the first of many still to come. But it might be a little while before it’s topped.

Noles Sweep Doubleheader on Walk-Off.
Three freshmen lead to walk-off victory; Noles stay perfect.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – In a rare early season doubleheader at Dick Howser Stadium, No. 6 Florida State (3-0) used a walk, RBI double and sacrifice fly to beat Maine (0-3) 6-5 in walk-off fashion in game two Saturday evening. The Seminoles beat the Black Bears 16-3 in the first contest earlier in the day.

Elijah Cabell led the inning off with a five-pitch walk and scored on a towering double off the right field fence by fellow freshman Robby Martin to tie the score. J.C. Flowers pinch ran for Martin, moved to third on a balk by Maine pitcher Matt Geoffrion (0-1) and scored on Mat Nelson’s sacrifice fly.

Tyler Ahearn (1-0) earned the win after a perfect top of the seventh in which he hit 96 on the radar gun.

After Austin Pollock allowed a grand slam to Maine’s Jake Roper in the fourth inning that gave the Black Bears a 5-2 lead, Clayton Kwiatkowski entered and retired the seven batters he faced before Ahearn took over in the seventh. The seven-inning game was agreed to prior to the season.

FSU took a 2-0 lead on a Nander De Sedas single and a Mike Salvatore double in the second inning. Salvatore added an RBI single in the fourth and Reese Albert had a sacrifice fly in the sixth that provided the theatrics for the final inning.

In Saturday’s opener, FSU drew 14 walks, had 10 hits and was hit by six pitches in a 16-3 victory. CJ Van Eyk (1-0) remained perfect in his FSU career after finishing his freshman campaign 7-0. The sophomore from Lutz, Fla., allowed two runs on six hits in 5.0 innings before Jonah Scolaro, Gage Hutchinson and freshman Cade Hungate held the Black Bears to one run over the final four innings.

De Sedas, Salvatore and Albert each had four RBI in the first game, including Salvatore’s second career home run. Cabell hit a towering 443-foot home run to center field, while Jonathan Foster (3) and Flowers (4) set career highs for runs scored. Flowers was 1-for-1 with a two-run double, three walks and two hit by pitches.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida State and Maine played its fourth game in 48 hours Sunday, with the Seminoles (4-0) beating the Black Bears (0-4) 9-1 to complete the season-opening sweep. Freshman Robby Martin’s three-run double capped a seven-run seventh inning and four Seminole pitchers allowed just five hits while striking out 14.

Martin impressed all weekend for the Seminoles, finishing with a team-high .438 batting average (7-for-16) and nine runs batted in in his collegiate debut.

Sophomore Shane Drohan made just his seventh appearance, and first career start, for the Noles, allowing one hit and striking out seven in 3.0 innings. On a 70-pitch limit, Drohan also walked four Black Bears but worked out of trouble to keep Maine off the board.

FSU’s three relief pitchers, Antonio Velez (1-0), Jack Anderson, and J.C. Flowers, were all pitching for the first time for Florida State. The three combined to allow four hits, one run and strike out seven over the final six innings.

Freshman Elijah Cabell blasted a two-run double in the first inning off Maine starter Nick Silva (0-1), but that was Florida State’s only hit until the seventh. In the seventh, FSU combined for seven runs on three hits, highlighted by a bases loaded walk to Mat Nelson, a two-run single for Flowers, an RBI single for Drew Mendoza and Martin’s three-run double.

Velez pitched 4.0 innings in relief to earn the win, while Anderson and Flowers each pitched an inning. Velez is a junior college transfer, while Anderson is a true freshman and Flowers, a junior that had not pitched either of his first two seasons, is projected to play the outfield and pitch in 2019.

Maine managed just five hits in the game, including a pair of doubles, and scored its lone run on Cody Pasic’s RBI single to right field. Runner Joe Bramanti was originally ruled out at the plate on the throw from Martin, but the run counted after officials reviewed the play.

Mendoza, De Sedas Home Runs Lead Noles.
FSU beat Youngstown State 4-2; Velez moves to 2-0.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Junior pitcher Antonio Velez (2-0) pitched four shutout innings and Drew Mendoza and Nander De Sedas launched two-run home runs to lead Florida State (5-0) to a 4-2 win over Youngstown State (0-4) Friday evening.

Youngstown State took a 2-0 lead in the top of the first inning on Blaze Glenn’s second home run of the season. It was the first hit Parrish allowed this season after combining for a no-hitter on Opening Day.

Parrish left after 4.0 innings, allowing two runs and two hits while striking out seven. Velez entered and surrendered two hits in four innings while J.C. Flowers earned the first save of his career, facing the minimum in the ninth inning.

Mendoza’s two-run home run off Grant Kersh tied the game in the bottom of the sixth inning. Penguin starter Colin Clark allowed just five hits and a walk in 5.1 innings before leaving after hitting Reese Albert with a pitch. Mendoza cranked Kersh’s second and final pitch of the game over the right field wall to tie the game at 2-2.

De Sedas’s home run off Travis Perry (0-1) in the seventh inning was the first of the freshman’s career. The home run came on a full count and scored Flowers, who reached on a bunt single.

FSU pitching faced the minimum over the final four innings.

Noles Stay Perfect with 9-5 Win Over Mercer.
Robby Martin adds three more RBI; Parrish gets 2nd win

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – No. 6 Florida State defeated Mercer 9-5 in nonconference action Friday night on Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium in game one of the weekend series. The Seminoles (8-0) remained perfect behind six strong innings from Drew Parrish (2-0) and 12 hits from the offense. Mercer fell to 8-2 on the season.

Parrish got the nod and pitched six innings of three-run baseball in his second win of the season. He fanned eight batters while only walking two and found his stride over his final three innings. Jonah Scolaro and Jack Anderson worked the final nine outs, with Scolaro pitching two scoreless innings. The three combined for 13 strikeouts on the evening.

After a one-two-three top of the first inning, the Seminoles jumped all over Mercer’s starting pitcher with three runs on three hits in the bottom frame. Robby Martin started the scoring with an RBI single to center, followed by Nico Baldor with an RBI double to left center and then a perfect bunt single by J.C. Flowers tallied the final run of the inning. Mercer starter Sawyer Gipson-Long (2-1) allowed four runs in just 2.2 innings.

The teams exchanged runs in the second, Florida State getting there’s by way of a Nander De Sedas triple to lead-off and then being driven in on Mike Salvatore’s single. The Seminoles added another in the sixth, again on a Martin RBI single, before they opened the offense up in the bottom of the eighth. Four runners scored, highlighted by a double apiece by Elijah Cabell and Martin before Cooper Swanson hit a pinch-hit home run deep to right field on the second pitch he saw.

Mercer scored a pair in the third inning on an RJ Yeager single that made the score 4-3 but Parrish and Scolaro did not allow another run over the next five innings. The Bears got two back in the top of the ninth with two outs before Drew Mendoza caught a liner at third base to end the game.

Noles Stay Perfect Through Rain Delays.
Van Eyk moves to 3-0; Swanson, Mendoza homer.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – No. 6 Florida State (9-0) stayed perfect in 2019 with a 12-1 win over Mercer Saturday afternoon on Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium. Through two rain delays that totaled 74 minutes, FSU mashed nine hits, including a pair of home runs from Cooper Swanson and Drew Mendoza. Swanson’s three-run home run gave FSU a 4-1 lead and traveled an estimated 482 feet.

Mercer struck first with a second-inning run before a 25-minute lightning delay. In the top of the third, the teams sat through a 49-minute delay. CJ Van Eyk (3-0) allowed just two hits after the second rain delay and the sophomore struck out a season-high eight in 5.0 innings.

The Noles used three crooked numbers to break the game open in the middle innings. FSU tied the game on Robby Martin’s sacrifice fly in the third inning before Swanson’s mammoth home run. FSU took a 5-1 lead on Jonathan Foster’s RBI double.

In the fourth, Mendoza’s two-run home run extended the FSU lead to 7-1. It was his team-high third of the season and FSU’s 16th of the year. In the fifth, the Noles scored four runs on three hits, including an RBI double from J.C. Flowers and a two-run single from Mendoza.

Mercer starter Tanner Hall (2-1) threw a perfect first inning before the first weather delay and worked out of trouble in the second inning before the second delay. He allowed all five runs in the third inning and did not return for the fourth.

Mendoza and Swanson each had two hits. The Noles drew eight walks and struck out just six times.

Trevor Austin had three of Mercer’s seven hits. The Bears struck out 11 times.

Noles Finish Sweep of Mercer.
Mendoza (2) leads four-HR game.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida State improved to 10-0 with a 5-1 win over Mercer (8-4) Sunday afternoon on Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium. Drew Mendoza had two of FSU’s four home runs and all five of the Noles’ runs came via the long ball.

The Seminoles struck first with three runs in the third inning. Mendoza hit his first of two home runs, a two-run shot off Mercer starter Zach Graveno (1-1) that scored Mike Salvatore. Freshman Elijah Cabell made it back-to-back home runs for FSU with a 466-foot blast into the left field parking lot.

FSU starter Shane Drohan left in the fourth inning after a career-high 3.1 innings pitched. Conor Grady (1-0) entered with the bases loaded and notched a strikeout and a pop up to keep the Bears off the board. He finished with 2.1 innings pitched and retired all seven batters faced.

Sophomore Cooper Swanson homered for the third consecutive game to give FSU a 4-0 lead in the sixth inning. Swanson had two career home runs before this weekend. Mendoza’s second home run of the game and third of the weekend led off the seventh inning and extended FSU’s lead to 5-0.

Mercer avoided the shutout with a run in the eighth inning off Chase Haney. J.C. Flowers closed the game out with a perfect ninth inning.

With the win, FSU remains one of seven teams nationally without a loss on the season, joining Oregon State, Arizona State, NC State, Michigan, UMass and Tennessee.

Freshmen, Bullpen Lead Noles Past Ospreys.
De Sedas walks-off North Florida; bullpen goes 8.2 scoreless.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – No. 6 Florida State overcame a three-run deficit in the first inning to defeat North Florida 4-3 Wednesday night on Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium. The win keeps the Seminoles perfect at 11-0, while the Ospreys drop to 8-6. Freshman shortstop Nander De Sedas completed the comeback with a game-winning double in the bottom of the ninth inning.

Chase Haney (1-0) earned the win, allowing just one hit over the eighth and ninth innings. Four Seminole relievers (Jonah Scolaro, Conor Grady, Clayton Kwiatkowski and Haney) combined to allow just four hits without walking a batter in 8.2 innings pitched.

The Ospreys jumped out to a hot start as they earned two walks, four hits, and three runs to force FSU starter Antonio Velez out of the game after only one out. Scolaro came in and struck a batter out and forced a fly out to strand the bases loaded. Scolaro did not allow a baserunner in his eight batters faced.

A sluggish Florida State offense struck out 17 times, one shy of the school record. Despite leaving 14 runners on base, FSU got a timely hit from De Sedas in the second inning that scored Carter Smith and from Elijah Cabell in the seventh inning. Cabell’s two-run home run scored Drew Mendoza, tied the game and got a quiet Howser Stadium crowd on its feet.

After Haney pitched a perfect top of the ninth, catcher Mat Nelson reached base on a throwing error that chased Eddie Miller (1-1) from the game. Logan Clayton entered, walked J.C. Flowers and De Sedas lined a double off the right field fence that easily scored Nelson. The win was FSU’s second walk-off win of the season. Nelson had a sacrifice fly to beat Maine during opening weekend.

Flowers Delivers Walk-Off Win vs. Hokies.
Three-run 10th keeps FSU perfect on season.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – No. 6 Florida State rallied in the bottom of the tenth to win its Atlantic Coast Conference opener Friday 9-8 against Virginia Tech on Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium. The Seminoles improved to 12-0 while Virginia Tech dropped to 8-4. Junior J.C. Flowers delivered the game-winning, walk-off double that scored three runs and kept the Seminoles perfect on the year.

Conor Grady (2-0) allowed two runs in the top of the 10th inning after pitching a scoreless ninth. Luke Scherzer (1-2), the Hokies projected Game Two starter, gave up the final two runs without recording an out.

After allowing two runs in the top of the 10th, the Seminoles came to the plate with the game on the line. Mike Salvatore walked to lead off and Elijah Cabell was hit by a pitch with two outs. Walk-on senior Tim Becker battled to earn a six-pitch walk, loading the bases for Flowers. Flowers watched the first pitch for a strike and then smoked a ball to center field, off the wall, for the Seminoles second walk-off in as many games and third of the season.

Trailing since a three-run second inning from the Hokies, Florida State rallied to tie the game in the bottom of the eighth. Freshmen Alec Sanchez and Nander De Sedas both walked with one out and Nico Baldor pinch hit for Cooper Swanson and sent a ball over the third baseman’s head, scoring Sanchez and advancing De Sedas. Third baseman Drew Mendoza doubled to deep center field, driving in both runners, and tying the game at 6-6.

Florida State and Virginia Tech each hit three home runs in the first four innings, giving the Hokies a 4-3 advantage. The visitors built the lead to 6-3 with a pair of runs off FSU reliever Clayton Kwiatkowski in the seventh inning.

FSU starter Drew Parrish went six innings, allowing four runs on six hits and tying a season high with eight strikeouts. Tech starter Ian Seymour pitched five innings, allowing three home runs but leaving with a one-run advantage.

‘11’ Reaches 2,000 Wins.
Noles split doubleheader as FSU wins series vs. Virginia Tech.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – No. 6 Florida State (13-1, 2-1 ACC) split a Saturday doubleheader with Virginia Tech (9-5, 1-2) and head coach Mike Martin won his 2,000th career game on the field at Dick Howser Stadium that bears his name. After getting shut out 6-0 in the opener, FSU won 5-2 in the nightcap for the historic win and a series victory against the Hokies.

In front of a crowd of 5,506 that was anxious to witness the milestone victory, Drew Mendoza broke a 2-2 tie with an RBI single in the seventh inning and J.C. Flowers sealed the win with an eighth inning home run and his second save of the year.

Game 2 – FSU 5, Va. Tech 2
Martin, the winningest coach in NCAA baseball history, earned his 2,000th career win as Florida State took the rubber match of the three-game set with a 5-2 victory on Saturday night thanks to timely hitting and another strong bullpen showing.

Jonah Scolaro was the first out of the pen and pitched a season high 3.2 innings of scoreless baseball in which he only allowed one baserunner. Chase Haney (2-0) earned the win with his perfect seventh inning, and Flowers picked up his second save of the season in a two-inning performance. Flowers, FSU’s starting centerfielder, also put the final notch on the scoreboard with a solo home run in the eighth inning, his second of the year.

After FSU was one-hit in Saturday’s opener, Cooper Swanson changed the tone of the day with a solo shot to deep right center in the first inning. The home run was his fifth home run of the season, tying the team-high. Drew Mendoza then got on base and was eventually brought around to score on a Flowers single up the middle, putting the score at 2-0 in favor of the Noles.

Shane Drohan notched his first six outs via strikeout, but was erratic and lasted just 2.1 innings, allowing a pair of runs on two hits and three walks. Drohan’s exit led the way for the bullpen, which allowed just two hits over 6.2 innings.

FSU added two more runs in the seventh as Nander De Sedas led off with a double, his second of the week, and was eventually brought around to score on a Mendoza single to right field that broke the tie. Elijah Cabell notched the other RBI of the inning with a deep sacrifice fly to center field that plated Tim Becker.

Game 1 – Va. Tech 6, FSU 0
Virginia Tech beat the Seminoles, 6-0, behind a dominant performance from starting pitcher Chris Gerard (1-0). Gerard held FSU to just one hit and walked three batters in seven innings, striking out 10 hitters. Florida State’s only hit of the game was a Drew Mendoza single in the seventh inning.

FSU starter CJ Van Eyk (3-1) lost his first career game, allowing four runs, four hits, walking six and striking out four in five innings. Van Eyk was 7-0 as a freshman in 2018.

Gerard retired 13 straight hitters between the second and sixth innings. FSU opened the seventh with a Cooper Swanson walk and Mendoza’s single, but both runners were stranded in scoring position.

The loss was FSU’s first of the season after opening the year 12-0.

Florida Tops FSU in Sunshine Showdown.
J.C. Flowers hits first career grand slam.

By Ariya Massoudi, Seminoles.com

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – In front of 5,385 fans at McKethan Stadium, No. 6 Florida State fell on the road to No. 7 Florida 20-7.

The Noles (13-2) got off to a quick start, as Mike Salvatore doubled to right field to leadoff the game, advancing to third on a bobbled ball in the outfield. An RBI double to left field by Drew Mendoza plated Salvatore to give FSU the early 1-0 lead.

Nander De Sedas added to the Seminoles lead in the third inning with a towering blast over the left field bleachers, giving the visitors a 2-0 advantage. The talented freshman took a 2-2 pitch from Jordan Butler out of the park for his third career home run as a Seminole.

On the hill, Conor Grady turned in a solid effort in his first career start. The sophomore tossed a career-high three innings as he scattered just three hits and two walks without giving up a run, striking out three on 56 pitches.

In the fifth inning, Salvatore, Alec Sanchez, and Elijah Cabell all worked walks, before J.C. Flowers extended the lead to 6-0 with an opposite field grand slam off the scoreboard in right-center field. For Flowers, it was the junior’s third home run of 2019, surpassing his total (2) from his first two seasons on campus.

The tide turned in the bottom of the inning as Florida responded with a five-run fifth inning to cut the lead to 6-5. Errors, walks and wild pitches littered the frame as the Gators regained some momentum.

The Seminoles responded in the sixth inning as Salvatore roped an RBI single through the left side, scoring Matheu Nelson from second to give FSU a two-run advantage at 7-5.

In the bottom of inning, the Gators broke the game open.

A few more hit-by-pitches, a ball slipping underneath the diving glove of Flowers in center, and errant throws allowed the home team to take full advantage with eight runs in the frame. By the end of the sixth inning, UF led 13-7 and would not look back.

The Gators tacked on seven more runs in the bottom of the eighth, highlighted by a grand slam from Kendrick Calilao off Austin Pollock and a two-run blast by Blake Reese off Jack Anderson.

Noles Fall at NC State.
Eight-run second inning leads Wolfpack.

RALEIGH, N.C. – No. 12 NC State used an eight-run second inning to knock off No. 6 Florida State 16-0 Friday evening at Doak Field. The Noles fell to 13-3 and 2-2 in the Atlantic Coast Conference; NC State remained undefeated at 18-0 and 4-0 in the league.

Drew Parrish (2-1) lost his first outing of the season, allowing nine runs (seven earned) over five innings. Outside of the second inning, NC State scored one unearned run on two hits against Parrish. Jason Parker improved to 3-0 for the Wolfpack, giving up five singles and two walks while striking out 10 over seven innings.

Right fielder Reese Albert singled for FSU in the first inning, his first at-bat since spraining his thumb against Mercer on March 1. Parrish pitched a perfect first inning for the Noles.

In the second, Evan Edwards led off with his team-high fifth home run of the season for a 1-0 lead. The Wolfpack added seven more runs in the inning on three singles, two doubles, a triple, an error and a pair of walks.

The Seminoles best chance to strike came in the fourth inning on singles from Tim Becker and Robby Martin and a walk to Cooper Swanson, but a groundout ended without the Noles pushing a run across.

NC State added five runs in the sixth and two more in the seventh inning against the Seminole bullpen.

Third baseman Drew Mendoza singled in the eighth inning, extending his streak of reaching base to all 16 games this season. He has an active eight-game hitting streak.

Salvatore’s Cycle Not Enough at NC State.
Senior second baseman hit ninth cycle in FSU history.

RALEIGH, N.C. – Despite Mike Salvatore hitting for the cycle, Florida State (13-4, 2-3 ACC) fell at No. 12 NC State (19-0, 5-0) 9-8 on a walk-off single in the ninth inning. Salvatore’s cycle was the ninth in FSU history and the first since current assistant coach Tyler Holt in 2010. Salvatore set a career high with four hits and tied career highs in runs (3) and RBI (4).

Salvatore opened the game with a single and scored on Drew Mendoza’s team-high sixth home run of the season. In the second inning, Salvatore tripled to score Mat Nelson and scored on Reese Albert’s single for a 4-0 FSU lead.

The Wolfpack tied the game in the bottom of the second on a two-run single and a game-tying home run from David Vazquez, his first of the year. NC State took a 5-4 lead on Tyler McDonough’s RBI single in the third inning.

Salvatore, from Ewing, N.J., hit an RBI double in the fourth inning to tie the score and, with FSU leading 6-5 in the eighth inning, hit his second home run of the season to again score Nelson and push FSU’s lead to 8-5.

Wolfpack designated hitter Brad Debo tied the game with a three-run home run off FSU reliever Jonah Scolaro in the eighth inning. Scolaro walked McDonough and Evan Edwards before Debo’s second home run of the season.

In the ninth inning, pinch hitter Devonte Brown walked against Conor Grady (2-1). Florida State head coach Mike Martin was ejected during Brown’s at-bat by home plate umpire Craig Barron.

J.C. Flowers, who had a pair of hits as FSU’s center fielder, entered, walked a batter and forced two outs before McDonough’s walk-off single up the middle.

CJ Van Eyk pitched six innings for FSU, allowing five runs on five hits with nine strikeouts. After a rough second inning, Van Eyk retired 10 of 11 batters until opening the seventh inning with a walk, his final batter of the game.

Reid Johnston lasted just 2.0 innings for NC State, giving up four runs on five hits. Dalton Feeney (1-0) gave up a hit and a walk in the ninth inning but FSU stranded runners on the corners.

Flowers Homers, Gets Save in Win vs. NC State.
Loss was first of season for NC State (19-1).

RALEIGH, N.C. – No. 6 Florida State (14-4, 3-3 ACC) won Sunday’s series finale against No. 12 NC State (19-1, 5-1), topping the Wolfpack 7-5 on Doak Field at Dail Park. J.C. Flowers hit his fourth home run of the season for FSU and earned his third save with a scoreless ninth inning. Shane Drohan improved to 2-0, pitching a career-high five innings.

Drohan allowed five walks, but also struck out six and allowed just three hits. Outside of NC State’s run in the third inning, the Wolfpack did not reach second base against Drohan.

FSU struck first for three runs in the second inning, on an RBI single from Mike Salvatore and a two-run double off the bat of Reese Albert. NC State starter Michael Bienlien (2-1) lasted just 1.1 innings, allowing three runs on three hits and four walks.

NC State got one run back in the third inning, with a bunt single, a walk and an RBI double from Patrick Bailey. With the bases loaded and one out, Drohan forced a groundout to third baseman Drew Mendoza, who got the lead runner at the plate, and an inning-ending groundout to Salvatore at second base.

FSU pushed its lead to 6-1 in the fifth inning. Flowers led off with a home run to left field, his fourth of the season, and Nico Baldor doubled off the center field wall, just inches shy of his first career home run. Nander De Sedas doubled to score Baldor, moved to third on a wild pitch and scored on Mat Nelson’s sacrifice fly.

De Sedas added an RBI single in the sixth inning to extend FSU’s lead to 7-1.

Conor Grady allowed three runs in the sixth inning to trim the lead to 7-4, but Clayton Kwiatkowski limited the damage and recorded seven outs, allowing just one single. Chase Haney came on in the eighth and allowed an RBI double, but Bailey lined out to Albert in right field with the bases loaded.

Flowers earned his third save with a scoreless ninth inning. A leadoff single was erased on a double play and Flowers struck out Brad Debo swinging to end the game.

FSU Rally Falls Short vs. UCF.
Noles’ 9-game win streak against Knights snapped.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – A ninth-inning rally by Florida State came up short Tuesday as the Seminoles (14-5) fell to UCF (15-6) on Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium.

FSU outhit the Knights, 11-10, but all 11 hits were singles and the Seminoles left 15 runners on base, including the bases loaded in the ninth inning. Mike Salvatore, Elijah Cabell and Nander De Sedas each had two hits, while Cooper Swanson drew four of FSU’s 10 walks.

Florida State took the lead off Jordan Spicer in the first inning with two walks and two singles, scoring on a bases loaded free pass to Nico Baldor. The Seminoles added two more singles in the second inning but could not scratch another run across.

The Knights answered in the fourth inning against Antonio Velez (2-1). Ray Alejo reached on an error and scored on Tyler Osik’s single to tie the game. Osik scored on Matthew Mika’s double to center field, but Velez forced three outs to limit the Knights lead to one.

FSU hit three singles off Spicer in the fourth inning and Reese Albert drew the second bases-loaded walk of the game. That ended Spicer’s night, with the right-hander throwing 3.1 innings and allowing three runs on seven hits. Jack Sinclair (3-2) entered in relief and balked a run in as FSU retook the lead, 3-2.

Mendoza HR Leads Noles Past Panthers.
Flowers: HR, Save in same game for third time this year.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Drew Mendoza’s three-run home run in the eighth inning and J.C. Flowers’ fourth save of the year gave Florida State (15-5) a 9-6 win over Florida International (10-10) Wednesday afternoon at Dick Howser Stadium. Conor Grady earned his team-high third win of the year.

Four Seminole relievers combined to allow one earned run over 6.2 innings after Tyler Ahearn allowed four earned runs in his first career start. Mendoza’s team-high seventh home run cleared the right field fence off reliever Gio Soto (0-2).

FSU jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the second inning on an RBI double from Nander De Sedas, an RBI single from Jonathan Foster and an FIU error. De Sedas was one of four Seminole with two hits.

FIU starter Steven Casey made his first appearance of the season after Tommy John surgery. The sophomore did not allow a run in his inning of work. FSU’s four second-inning runs came against Greyson Fletcher.

The Panthers tied the score in the top of the third inning, scoring four runs against Ahearn. After allowing just one hit in the first two innings, Ahearn allowed a home run, a single and two walks (one intentional) before exiting. Clayton Kwiatkowski gave up a two-run double and a sacrifice fly before Javier Valdes struck out looking to end the third.

FIU took the lead in the fifth on a two-run home run from Austin Shenton off Kwiatkowski. Flowers got one FSU run back in the bottom of the fifth with his fifth home run of the season.

Will Saxton walked Reese Albert and Mendoza to start the sixth inning before being replaced by Angel Tiburcio. Hoping to advance the runners into scoring position, Cooper Swanson’s bunt was lined to first base. With Albert and Mendoza both running, the Panthers turned the triple play to get out of any trouble.

Austin Pollock started the sixth for FSU, allowing a hit and striking out three in 1.2 innings. Grady (3-1) ended the seventh forcing a lineout with a runner on first base.

The Noles tied the game in the bottom of the seventh as Robby Martin doubled to lead off and was eventually brought around to score on an Elijah Cabell groundout.

The tie didn’t last long as Mike Salvatore walked and Albert singled to put two runners on with one out in the bottom of the eighth. Mendoza sent the fourth pitch he saw from Soto deep over the right field fence for a three-run shot, his seventh home run of the year.

Flowers allowed a walk and a single in the ninth, but forced Lorenzo Hampton, the tying run, to ground into a game-ending double play.

GAME 1 – FSU 7, Notre Dame 1
Drew Parrish pitched six shutout innings, and FSU pounded out 10 hits, to top Notre Dame 7-1 in the series opener. Elijah Cabell and Drew Mendoza each hit home runs, while Robby Martin added three RBI and had two of FSU’s four doubles.

Notre Dame stranded a pair of runners in the first and second innings as Parrish did a good job working out of trouble and not allowing the Fighting Irish to score. The junior southpaw finished allowing just two hits, two walks and nine strikeouts in 6.0 innings.

Parrish retired his final 13 batters faced, from the second to sixth innings, and his nine strikeouts were a season high. In four career appearances against the Irish, Parrish is 3-0 with a 1.27 earned run average over 28.1 innings.

FSU struck in the fourth inning when Nander De Sedas was hit by a pitch, followed by back-to-back doubles from J.C. Flowers and Robby Martin to give FSU a 2-0 lead. Mike Salvatore’s third single of the game scored Martin and extended FSU’s lead to 3-0.

Cabell’s sixth home run of the season scored Mendoza and gave FSU a 5-0 lead in the fifth inning.

Chase Haney threw two innings out of the bullpen, allowing a run on three hits and struck out three hitters. Gage Hutchinson pitched a perfect ninth inning with another two strikeouts.

Martin added an RBI double in the eighth inning and Mendoza hit his team-high eighth home run of the season in the ninth, already surpassing his 2018 total of seven.

OF NOTE

The defense did him no favors, with two errors that led to three unearned runs.

Notre Dame starter Cameron Brown (1-2) went the distance for the Irish, allowing three earned runs and seven hits. He struck out 12 Seminoles over 113 pitches.

FSU scored on a second inning double from Elijah Cabell, who came around to score on a passed ball from Brown. The Noles added a run on Mike Salvatore’s second RBI single of the game to score Cooper Swanson.

Noles Toss One-Hitter, Win Series at Notre Dame.
Drohan, Grady & Flowers lead Noles past Irish.

NOTRE DAME, Ind. – No. 19 Florida State (17-6, 5-4) threw a one-hitter at Notre Dame (9-12, 5-4) Sunday, topping the Fighting Irish 3-1 in 10 innings at Frank Eck Stadium. Shane Drohan, Conor Grady (4-1) and J.C. Flowers combined to give up just one sixth-inning double and struck out 11 batters.

Drohan pitched a career-high 5.1 innings with six strikeouts. Eric Gilgenbach’s double was the last batter Drohan faced and Grady entered after 100 pitches. A sacrifice fly tied the game, but Grady did not allow a runner to reach base in his outing. Grady finished with 3.2 innings pitched, a career high, and tied a career high with five strikeouts.

After FSU scored a pair of runs in the top of the 10th inning, Flowers walked the first two batters but forced a sacrifice bunt and two straight groundouts to end the game and notch his fifth save of the season.

Elijah Cabell knocked a triple to left-centerfield in the sixth inning and gave FSU a 1-0 lead when he scored on a wild pitch.

FSU improved to 2-0 in extra innings in 2019. With two outs, Reese Albert singled off Joe Boyle (1-1) before Drew Mendoza and Cabell reached on throwing errors by shortstop Jared Miller to give FSU a 3-1 lead.

Defensive Miscues Lead Gators Past Noles.
FSU pitching does not allow earned run; Salvatore goes deep.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – In front of 8,041 fans at the Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville, No. 24 Florida State fell to No. 21 Florida 4-2 Tuesday evening.

The Seminoles got a quality start out of Jonah Scolaro as he went a career-high four innings. The lefty gave up just three hits and no earned runs on 65 pitches of work.

The Gators took the lead in the fifth inning as the leadoff runner reached via an error on Nander De Sedas. Austin Langworthy followed with a double down the left field line to break the deadlock and give UF a 1-0 advantage.

Florida starter Nolan Crisp retired 14 straight batters entering the sixth inning. FSU catcher Mat Nelson walked to leadoff the inning before Mike Salvatore gave the Seminoles the lead with an opposite field shot that cleared the short portion of the wall in right field.

Reese Albert and Drew Mendoza both followed with singles to put the pressure on the Gators. However, Elijah Cabell struck out and both Robby Martin and J.C. Flowers flew out to end the inning.

“We did a lot of things right, no excuses (on the loss), but I like the direction this ball club is heading,” Head Coach Mike Martin said.

“We hit a lot of balls hard, but right at people. That’s baseball, it’s how the game works sometimes.”

Florida re-took the lead in the 7th due to some poor fielding by the Seminoles. With two outs and a runner at first, an error on Mendoza kept the inning alive for UF.

The next batter hit a slow roller to second that Salvatore threw away, allowing the tying run to come around and score. The Gators scored two more with a double to center field giving them a 4-2 lead.

The final three innings of the contest, the Seminoles continued to get runners on, but struggled to get any around and in. The Noles put two on in the 7th with two outs, but Albert flew out to center to end the threat. In the 8th, again the Noles had a shot to do some damage as Cabell reached on a hit-by-pitch and Flowers reached on catcher’s interference with two outs. De Sedas then hit a screamer to right field that was caught on a line near the wall to end the inning.

FSU had one final chance in the 9th inning, as Alec Sanchez reached on an error with one out, bringing the tying run to the plate. But Salvatore lined out to center and Albert struck out to end the game.

Comeback Falls Short as Eagles Top Noles.
Freshman Robby Martin tallies four RBI

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – No. 21 Florida State scored four runs in the eighth inning but could not complete a comeback Friday, falling to Boston College 10-7 on Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium. The Seminoles (17-8, 5-5 ACC) fell behind 7-0 through 3.5 innings, but a sixth-inning bases-loaded walk proved to be the winning run for the Eagles (13-12, 4-6 ACC).

Freshman Robby Martin had four RBI in the contest.

Dan Metzdorf improved to 3-2 for the Eagles, giving up three runs over six innings. Drew Parrish (3-2) allowed five runs in just 1.1 innings in the loss.

Martin hit a two-run double in the fourth inning and a two-run single in the eighth. Mike Salvatore added a two-run double in the eighth inning to cut the lead to 8-7.

The Eagles took an early lead on Gian Martellini’s three-run home run off Parrish in the first inning. It was Martellini’s second home run of the season.

The Noles had a chance to answer in the bottom of the inning against Metzdorf when Salvatore and Reese Albert walked and Drew Mendoza singled with no outs. FSU could not capitalize, however, when Elijah Cabell struck out and J.C. Flowers grounded into a double play.

BC added to its lead with a sacrifice fly and an RBI single in the second inning to chase Parrish after just 1.1 innings, the shortest start of his career. Austin Pollock came on and allowed two runs on four hits over 1.2 innings.

Freshman Cade Hungate induced a bases-loaded double play and a strikeout to end the fourth inning with the Eagles leading 7-0.

FSU began to chip away at the Eagles’ lead in the fourth. After Cabell and Nander De Sedas singled, Martin hit his team-high 12th double of the season to score both runners. Jonathan Foster, a second-inning substitute behind the plate, singled to score Martin and cut the lead to 7-3 through four innings.

The Eagles added a run in the sixth against Tyler Ahearn to make the lead 8-3.

FSU put two runners on with one out in the seventh but could not push a run across. In the eighth against reliever Joey Walsh, Cabell and Flowers walked and De Sedas was hit by a pitch to load the bases with no outs. Martin scored two on a two-run single before Salvatore closed the margin to 8-7 with a two-run double.

In the ninth, Antonio Velez allowed a pair of runs, the second unearned on a passed ball. Down to its last three outs, Matt Gill gave up back-to-back singles to Cabell and Flowers but retired the next two batters to earn his first save of the year.

Salvy Single Leads FSU to Walk-Off Win.
FSU beats BC 4-3; Scolaro earns first win of year.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida State walked-off winners for the fourth time this year, beating Boston College 4-3 on Mike Salvatore’s single Saturday night. The win moves the Seminoles to 18-8 overall with a 6-5 conference mark, while Boston College falls to 13-13 and 4-7 in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Jonah Scolaro earned his first win of the season with his three innings of relief.

Tim Becker walked to begin the bottom of the ninth inning and moved into scoring position by way of a sacrifice bunt from Matheu Nelson. Salvatore then hammered the third pitch he saw from Joey Walsh (0-2) through the right side, and Becker was able to slide home right as the ball arrived.

Boston College notched seven hits against starter CJ Van Eyk, but all seven were singles and the Eagles lone run against the right-hander was unearned in the sixth inning. Of the three runs Boston College scored, only one was earned.

Van Eyk and Scolaro combined to allow 11 hits (10 singles and a double) and strike out eight. The Eagles were 0-for-3 with the bases loaded, including Scolaro’s strikeout to end the top of ninth inning without allowing the go-ahead run.

After falling behind 7-0 in Friday’s opener, Florida State struck for three runs in the first inning Saturday. First baseman Carter Smith reached on a bunt single, Drew Mendoza and Elijah Cabell walked and Robby Martin notched his team-high 29th RBI on a groundout. J.C. Flowers hit a two-out single to give FSU a 3-0 lead through one inning.

FSU loaded the bases on three walks from Zach Stromberg in the fifth inning, but Sean Hughes struck out Cabell and Will Hesslink forced a Martin groundout to escape the potential damage.

The Eagles scored in the sixth inning when Brian Dempsey singled, Cody Morissette reached on a throwing error and Dempsey scored on a wild pitch. Van Eyk was able to get out of the inning with back-to-back groundouts to the mound to keep FSU’s lead 3-1.

In the top of the seventh inning, Boston College tied the game. With runners on first and second, Mendoza rushed a throw to first that allowed a run to score, followed by Dempsey’s RBI single to score Jake Alu and tie the score at 3-3. Scolaro retired the next two batters to keep the score tied.

Salvatore’s single in the ninth inning was just the Seminoles’ fourth hit of the game. FSU drew eight walks and struck out just five times.

Eagles Take Series with Sunday Win.
Drohan sets career-highs in K & IP.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Despite a career-high 5.2 innings and eight strikeouts from Shane Drohan, Florida State fell to Boston College 8-0 Sunday afternoon at Dick Howser Stadium. Eagles starter Mason Pelio (4-1) allowed just two hits over seven innings and BC scored three runs on four hits in the seventh inning to secure the series victory.

Drohan gave up six hits but worked out of trouble throughout his outing, stranding eight runners on base.

The Florida State bats were quiet for the second consecutive game, tallying just four hits against Pelio and Matt Gill out of the BC bullpen. FSU won a walk-off single Saturday but also had just four hits in the win.

Boston College threatened early and often but could not capitalize against Drohan over the first five innings. The Eagles got six hits, walked twice and was hit by a pitch against the left-hander but left six runners on base.

After a pair of hits in the sixth inning, Drohan was pulled after a career-high 5.2 innings pitched and eight strikeouts. Conor Grady (4-2) came on with two outs, runners on the corners and forced a pop up to Robby Martin in right field to keep the game scoreless.

Pelio gave up a double in the second inning and a single in the sixth, but FSU could not capitalize against the freshman. Pelio finished with two hits allowed, one walk, three hit batters and eight strikeouts over seven innings for his fourth win of the year.

Grady gave up four hits in the seventh inning, including Sal Frelick’s fourth home run of the season and a Gian Martellini RBI single, and Boston College took a 3-0 lead to the bottom of the frame.

Elijah Cabell and Nander De Sedas reached in the seventh but Pelio struck out the side to keep the Seminoles at bay. FSU also stranded two runners in the eighth against Matt Gill.

Clayton Kwiatkowski allowed four runs in the eighth inning on four hits and an FSU error.

The Eagles won the regular-season series against FSU for just the second time since joining the ACC and the first time since 2009.

Noles Fall in 11 to JU.
Six-game win streak vs. Dolphins snapped.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Cory Garrastazu’s RBI single in the 11th inning led Jacksonville (19-10) to a 3-2 victory over Florida State (18-10) Tuesday evening on Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium. The Dolphins’ win snapped the Seminoles six-game winning streak in the series.

J.C. Flowers earned the start on the mound for FSU, the first of his career. The Seminoles regular centerfielder, Flowers pitched a career high 3.0 innings and struck out three batters without allowing a run on just one hit and a walk.

In the top of the fourth, Flowers moved to center field, Elijah Cabell moved to the left field and right-hander Tyler Ahearn came on to pitch. The Dolphins reached on an error and a single to start the frame, but a strikeout and two pop ups left both players in scoring position.

Mike Salvatore launched his fourth home run of the season in the fifth inning to score Mat Nelson and give FSU a 2-0 lead. Salvatore, FSU’s leadoff hitter, has four home runs on the season and 28 RBI, already surpassing his 2018 total of 27 in 34 fewer games.

Jonah Scolaro recorded four outs in the fifth and sixth innings, leaving with the bases loaded in the sixth. Chase Haney relieved the southpaw and let up an RBI single to Jacob Southern before setting down the next two hitters and leaving the bases loaded.

Jacksonville starter Austin Temple was pulled in the sixth inning, giving up five hits and five walks in 5.2 innings over 100 pitches. Jagger McCoy pitched 2.1 innings without allowing a hit to get the Dolphins to the ninth inning. Nick Love (2-0) threw the 9th and 10th innings without allowing a baserunner.

Antonio Velez gave up a pair of doubles to Angel Camacho and Southern in the eighth inning to tie the game at 2-2. Conor Grady (4-3) did not allow a run in his first two innings, but the Dolphins scored a run on a leadoff double and a single to right field against the right-hander in the 11th inning.

Zach Bryant earned his sixth save of the year with a perfect 11th inning. The Dolphins retired the final 10 batters and faced the minimum over the final four innings.

Noles Blanked at Miami.
Grand slam leads Canes.

CORAL GABLES, Fla. – Alex Toral’s fifth-inning grand slam led Miami to a 11-0 win over Florida State in front of 3,227 fans Friday at Mark Light Field.

Florida State starting pitch Drew Parrish faced the minimum through four innings, with the Hurricanes’ lone baserunner in that span erased attempting to steal. In the fifth, Parrish gave up back-to-back singles to start the inning and an intentional walk before Toral’s ACC-leading 13th home run of the season off the batters eye in center field for a 4-0 lead.

Parrish walked two more batters to end his day, giving way to Austin Pollock. Pollock walked his only batter faced before Chase Haney struck out Freddy Zamora and Elijah Cabell made a diving catch off the bat of Adrian Del Castillo to limit the damage and end the inning.

FSU recorded three hits against Miami starter Evan McKendry over 7.0 innings and struck out nine times. Drew Mendoza walked twice and singled in the sixth inning, but FSU’s only hit with a runner on base came from former Hurricane Nico Baldor in the fourth inning.

In the seventh inning, Carter Smith earned his first action at catcher for Florida State. Tyler Ahearn walked a pair of batters in the frame before Zamora lined a two-out, two-run single to extend the lead to 6-0. Before Ahearn exited due to injury, Raymond Gil singled in Zamora for a 7-0 lead.

A two-run double and throwing error extended the Hurricane lead to 10-0 through seven innings. Miami added its final run in the eighth.

Mike Salvatore had two of Florida State’s four hits.

Hitting Woes Continue for Noles.
Miami claims series with 4-0 win.

CORAL GABLES, Fla. – Florida State (18-12) dropped its second straight game against Miami (20-11) Saturday, falling to the Hurricanes 4-0 on Mark Light Field. CJ Van Eyk and Clayton Kwiatkowski combined to strike out 12 Canes hitters, but Gabe Rivera’s third inning home run proved to be the game winner.

The Seminoles stranded five batters in the second and third innings, representing the teams best chances to put runs on the board. In the second, Nico Baldor and Nander De Sedas had two-out singles but were stranded. In the third, Cooper Swanson walked and Mike Salvatore singled to put runners on the corners with no outs.

With one out, Drew Mendoza grounded out to pitcher Chris McMahon, who got Swanson at the plate for the second out. After Elijah Cabell walked, J.C. Flowers struck out to end the inning.

Rivera’s second home run of the year was Miami’s first hit of the game. After Van Eyk struck out the side in the fourth, Miami scored three runs in the fifth inning on an Anthony Vilar single, Freddy Zamora’s RBI groundout and Adrian Del Castillo’s single. Kwiatkowski notched the final out of the inning and did not allow a run over 3.1 innings pitched.

A Salvatore walk in the fifth inning and pinch-hitter Alec Sanchez’s single in the eighth inning were the only FSU baserunners over the final five innings. McMahon allowed just three hits and three walks while striking out nine over 7.0 innings.

Noles Win Series Finale at Miami.
J.C. Flowers hits home run, earns two-inning save.

CORAL GABLES, Fla. – Sparked by J.C. Flowers’ sixth home run and earning his sixth save, Florida State (19-12) beat Miami (20-12) 6-5 Sunday afternoon at Mark Light Field in front of 2,781 fans. It was the fourth time this season that Flowers has hit a home run and earned the save in the same game.

Flowers also had an outfield assist as FSU’s starting centerfielder, saving at least one run, and added an RBI on a sacrifice bunt that tied the game in the fifth inning.

Conor Grady (5-3) earned the win, striking out the only batter he saw to end the seventh inning. The bullpen of Jonah Scolaro (3.1 IP, 0 ER), Grady and Flowers (2.0 IP, 1 ER) allowed just three hits in 5.2 innings of relief.

Shane Drohan allowed seven hits and four earned runs in his seventh start of the season.

Florida State took its first lead of the series in the third inning on doubles from Alec Sanchez and Mike Salvatore. Sanchez made his first start in right field and the double was the first of his career. Salvatore leads FSU with 29 RBI and has nine doubles on the season.

The Hurricanes answered in the bottom of the inning, scoring two runs on a walk, two doubles and an RBI single from Freddy Zamora. Miami tried to add to its lead, but Adrian Del Castillo’s lineout to centerfield turned into a double play when Flowers threw out the runner at home to end the frame.

Flowers led off the fourth inning with his sixth home run of the season, tying the game at 2-2. Two batters later, Jonathan Foster hit his second home run of 2019 off Brian Van Belle.

After Sanchez singled and Carter Smith walked, Miami brought in Albert Maury to retire Salvatore and end the inning.

Drohan allowed a two-run home run to Michael Amditis in the fourth inning to end his day with FSU trailing 4-3. Scolaro retired both hitters he faced in the fourth. In the fifth, Scolaro allowed a single, a walk and an intentional walk but Miami did not scratch a run across. He allowed just one hit in 3.1 innings of work.

Against Maury in the fifth, Nico Baldor, hitting in the two-hole for the first time against his former team, reached on Miami’s first error of the weekend and advanced to third on Drew Mendoza’s second single of the game. Flowers’ sac bunt tied the score at 4-4.

FSU broke the tie with a pair of unearned runs in the 8th. Nander De Sedas singled and Foster reached on a fielding error while attempting to sacrifice bunt. Sanchez, who entered Sunday with three hits on the season, got his third hit of the game, a bunt single to load the bases with no outs.

Baldor reached on a two-out throwing error from Zamora at shortstop for the second time, scoring De Sedas and Foster for the FSU lead.

Flowers allowed his first run of the season, a two-out ninth inning home run from Zamora, but Del Castillo grounded out to second base on the first pitch he saw to end the game. On the year, Flowers has allowed one earned run in 13.2 innings.

Grady Shines, But Noles Fall to Gators.
Sophomore pitcher allows just two hits in seven innings.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida State (19-13) fell to Florida (22-13) 3-1 in the third and final game of the Sunshine Showdown Tuesday at Dick Howser Stadium. A pinch-hit two-run double in the top of the ninth by Kirby McMullen proved the difference as the two teams were dead-locked at one apiece from the 5th inning on.

Florida State starting pitcher Conor Grady had the best outing of his career, setting career-highs for innings pitched (7.0) and strikeouts (9). He was the first Seminole starter to pitch seven innings this season and held Florida without a hit through 5.2 innings.

In two career starts, both against the Gators this season, Grady pitched 10.0 innings, allowing five hits and one unearned run and struck out 12 batters.

Florida State outhit the Gators, 8-5, with two each from Drew Mendoza, Nico Baldor and Mat Nelson. All eight hits were singles, while Florida hit two pivotal doubles in the ninth inning to get the win.

The Seminoles put runners on in each of the first four innings on five singles but could not push a run across. The best opportunity for FSU came in the third, when Nelson and Alec Sanchez singled to put runners on the corners, but a 4-6-3 double play ended the inning.

Florida took a lead in the fourth inning when Brady McConnell reached on a dropped fly ball, moved to third on a sacrifice bunt and scored on a passed ball for a 1-0 lead.

Florida starter David Luethje allowed five hits over his 4.0 innings and left after a leadoff walk to Nander De Sedas in the fifth inning. Justin Alintoff entered and gave up a single to Nelson, his second of the game, and both runners advanced on stolen bases. With one out, Sanchez grounded out to first base to score De Sedas and tie the game at 1-1.

Jonah Scolaro gave up a single and a walk in the eighth when Santino Miozzi attempted to bunt both runners up a base. Nelson fielded the two-strike bunt and gunned the lead runner down at third base. Chase Haney (2-2) entered to face the top of the Gators lineup, inducing a pair of groundouts to keep Florida from scoring.

Kendrick Calilao doubled with one out in the ninth inning, the final batter for Haney. Clayton Kwiatkowski struck out Austin Langworthy for the second out, intentionally walked Wil Dalton before Kirby McMullen hit a two-run double down the right field line for a 3-1 Gators lead.

Ben Specht (1-0) retired the Seminoles in order in the bottom of the ninth.

Parrish Twirls Gem to Open Series.
Southpaw struck out 12; Mendoza hits ninth home run.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida State (20-13, 8-8 ACC) opened a pivotal weekend with a 6-2 victory over No. 16 Clemson (25-9, 11-5 ACC) Friday on Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium. Drew Parrish (4-3) earned his fourth win of the season, pitching a season-high 8.0 innings, striking out 12 batters and retiring 18 consecutive between the first and seventh innings.

Parrish ended his striking out the side in the eighth inning and exiting to a standing ovation from 4,246 fans. The innings pitched and strikeout totals are the most for a Seminole this season.

Offensively, Drew Mendoza’s three-run home run, FSU’s only hit in the four-run third inning, proved to be the difference after Clemson scored a pair of runs against the Seminole bullpen in the ninth inning. The junior had two of FSU’s four hits.

The Seminoles put its first runners on base in the third inning against Davis Sharpe (5-2), Clemson’s starting pitcher who entered the game 5-1 with a 1.55 earned run average. Sharpe hit Nander De Sedas and walked Jonathan Foster before Elijah Cabell advanced both runners with his first sacrifice bunt of the season.

Mike Salvatore walked and Alec Sanchez hit a sacrifice fly to score De Sedas and give FSU a 1-0 lead. A lengthy replay review took place to see if De Sedas left third base early and the play was upheld.

On a 2-0 count, Mendoza hit his ninth home run of the season, a three-run home run off the scoreboard to extend FSU’s lead to 4-0.

After a two-out walk and single in the first inning, Parrish retired 18 consecutive batters until a pair of two-out hits in the seventh inning. With the Tigers threatening FSU’s 4-0 lead, Parrish struck out Bryce Teodosio on his 94th pitch of the game.

The Seminoles added two runs in the bottom of the seventh against the Tigers bullpen. FSU drew four walks, scored on a Robby Martin double play and added its sixth run on a wild pitch from Luke Sommerfeld.

Parrish added strikeouts 10, 11 and 12 in the eighth inning, ending his night.

Jonah Scolaro started the ninth inning, allowing a Logan Davidson home run, a single and hit a batter before his night ended. Chase Haney forced a double play to the first man he saw.

With two outs, Clemson singled and drew a walk before J.C. Flowers came in to close the game out. Flowers’ third pitch induced the game-ending foul-out, earning his seventh save of the season.

Flowers, Van Eyk Lead Noles Past No. 16 Tigers.
FSU wins 16-2, claim pivotal ACC Atlantic series.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida State (21-13, 9-8 ACC) used its bats (four home runs, 14 hits) and its pitching (career-high 8.0 innings from CJ Van Eyk) to lock up a 16-2 win Saturday against No. 16 Clemson (25-10, 11-6) on Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium. The 13-run victory was FSU’s largest against Clemson since a 20-5 win in Tallahassee in 1997.

Van Eyk (4-3) had his best outing of his career, pitching eight innings, allowing a pair of solo home runs on four hits and striking out four. The sophomore allowed a leadoff home run and the Tigers did not score again until the seventh inning. Antonio Velez pitched a scoreless ninth inning in relief.

Offensively, Florida State notched 14 hits and 16 runs, including home runs from Cooper Swanson (6 on season), Mike Salvatore (5) and two from J.C. Flowers (8). Nine different players had at least one RBI.

In winning the first two games of the series, FSU has outscored the Tigers 22-4 and beaten pitchers that entered with earned run averages of 1.55 (Davis Sharpe) and 1.98 (Mat Clark).

Clemson leadoff hitter Sam Hall hit his fourth home run of the season to start the game, giving the Tigers an early 1-0 lead. Clemson’s No. 2 hitter, Logan Davidson, followed with a single to right field, but Alec Sanchez threw him out trying to stretch it into a double. Van Eyk retired the next nine batters into the fourth inning.

The Seminoles got its first hit in the third inning, a single from Salvatore off Clark (7-1).

In the fourth, Kyle Wilkie was hit by a pitch and Grayson Byrd reached on an error, putting runners on the corners with one out. Van Eyk recovered to strike out Bryar Hawkins and force a Bo Majkowski ground out to end the inning.

Swanson and Flowers hit back-to-back homers off Clark in the fourth inning. After a mound visit, Clark walked Nico Baldor and Nander De Sedas and Mat Nelson hit an RBI single to give FSU a 3-1 lead and end Clark’s day.

Holt Jones entered and allowed a sacrifice fly from Elijah Cabell and an RBI single to Salvatore, pushing the Noles lead to 5-1 through four innings.

Flowers’ second home run of the game came off Jones in the fifth inning, a three-run shot that scored Mendoza (walk) and Swanson (hit by pitch). It was Flowers’ first multi-home run game of his career and extended FSU’s lead to 8-1.

Salvatore hit his fifth home run of the year in the sixth inning to make it 9-1 FSU. After two hit batters by Jones, Travis Marr came on with two outs and allowed a Flowers RBI single, an RBI groundout from Baldor and an RBI single to De Sedas for a 12-1 FSU lead through six innings.

After Bryar Hawkins made it 12-2 with a solo home run in the seventh inning, FSU scored four runs combined in the seventh and eighth innings to provide the final margin.

The win gives FSU the series victory over No. 16 Clemson. It was the first back-to-back losses for Clemson in 2019. For the Seminoles, it was its largest margin of victory in an Atlantic Coast Conference game since 2013 against Duke and its most runs and largest margin of victory against Clemson since a 20-5 win in Tallahassee in 2015.

Grady K’s 11 to Complete Sweep of No. 16 Tigers.
FSU pitching struck out 19 Sunday.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – For the first time since 2008, and the first time in Tallahassee since 2001, Florida State (22-13, 10-8 ACC) swept No. 16 Clemson (25-11, 11-7) with a 6-4 win Sunday on Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium. The Seminoles three-game sweep was its first against an Atlantic Coast Conference opponent at home since 2016.

Conor Grady (6-3) had his second outstanding pitching performance of the week, throwing 5.1 innings of relief, allowing just one hit, no runs and striking out a career-high 11. Against Florida on Tuesday, Grady earned the start and pitched seven innings, allowed no earned runs and struck out nine.

Drew Mendoza’s two-run home run punctuated a four-run second inning that gave Florida State its first lead. After Clemson tied it in the third inning, FSU plated single runs in the fourth and seventh innings to provide the final margin. Mike Salvatore and Nander De Sedas each had two of FSU’s 10 hits.

Shane Drohan allowed four runs in 2.2 innings of work and struck out six batters. J.C. Flowers earned his eighth save of the year, working around a walk in the ninth inning and recording two strikeouts. As a pitching staff, FSU’s 19 strikeouts were its most of the season and most since notching 22 in 14 innings against Villanova in 2016.

The Tigers struck in the first inning when FSU misplayed a Logan Davidson hit into a double and scored on Grayson Byrd’s RBI single. Drohan struck out the side to avoid further trouble.

Drohan added two more strikeouts in the second inning, but Davidson’s second double scored two runs and gave Clemson a 3-0 lead.

Clemson starter Keyshawn Askew walked the first two batters in the second inning before handing the ball to reliever Brooks Crawford. Salvatore singled for the second time to score Jonathan Foster and Mat Nelson touched home on Alec Sanchez’s RBI groundout. FSU took the 4-3 lead on Mendoza’s 10th home run of the season and second of the weekend, a 396-foot shot to score Salvatore.

Drohan gave up a walk and a single in the third inning before Grady entered in relief with two outs. Despite the three-pitch strikeout of Bryce Teodosio, the Tigers tied the game on a double steal of second and home. Drohan’s final line was six hits and four earned runs in 2.2 innings, with six strikeouts and two walks.

Grady pitched a perfect fourth inning, the first for either team, striking out the side. The Noles took the lead in the bottom of the inning on an RBI out from Nico Baldor, scoring Sanchez.

After Elijah Cabell made a running catch to save a run in the top of the fifth, he and Nelson singled to end Crawford’s day as the Tigers brought in Sam Weatherly. The Noles could not capitalize against the lefty, leaving the bases loaded for the third time in five innings. On the day, FSU tied a season high by leaving 17 runners on base.

Grady worked around two errors in the sixth inning, stranding a runner at third base while striking out the side. He retired the side in order in the eighth after a replay review determined Mendoza threw out Davis Sharpe to end the inning.

Baldor added an RBI single in the seventh inning off Owen Griffith, pushing FSU’s lead to 6-4 through 7 innings. It was Baldor’s first multi-RBI game as a Seminole.

Flowers walked Chad Fairey with one out in the ninth inning, but struck out Sam Hall looking and Davidson flew out to left field to end the game.

The sweep improves FSU to 10-8 in the ACC on the season, one game behind Clemson for third in the Atlantic Division.

Strong Offense Backs Another Parrish Gem.
Flowers, Martin lead bats; Parrish 0 ER last 14 IP.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Florida State (23-13, 11-8) extended its ACC winning streak to five games with a 14-2 win over Virginia (22-17, 8-11) Thursday night at Davenport Field. Left-hander Drew Parrish (5-3) had his second straight quality start, throwing six innings, giving up one unearned run on five hits and striking out six.

Offensively, the Seminoles had 13 hits, drew 11 walks and were hit by three pitches. The 14 runs scored were FSU’s most against Virginia since 2002. J.C. Flowers had four RBI on a two-run home run and a two-run single, while Robby Martin added three RBI.

Against Virginia, FSU had 10 hits with runners on base; nine with runners in scoring position; and nine with two outs. The Noles hit 13-for-39 overall in the game.

Florida State capitalized on a walk in the first inning when Martin singled to score Reese Albert. Albert was playing his first game since March 29, missing 10 games with a shoulder injury. Flowers followed with his ninth home run of the season, a two-run blast into the left field bleachers to give FSU a 3-0 lead.

The Cavaliers responded in the bottom of the inning, scoring an unearned run on a single, two errors and an RBI grounder. The Cavaliers reached on back-to-back errors, but Parrish got a strikeout and a ground out to escape without further damage. Both of Virginia’s runs Thursday were unearned.

The Noles immediately responded in the second, with a leadoff double from Elijah Cabell and an RBI single from Nander De Sedas. Mike Salvatore’s team-high 34th RBI, on a single up the middle, extended the FSU lead to 5-1 through two innings.

Virginia had its share of runners on base against Parrish, stranding eight through the first six innings. Virginia had a base runner in five of six innings, including a leadoff double in the sixth, but Parrish worked around runners on base throughout the night.

FSU added three runs in the fourth inning aided by a leadoff walk. After De Sedas stole second base, he scored on Albert’s RBI single for a 6-1 lead. Drew Mendoza walked and both runners scored on Martin’s 13th double of the season. The Garnet and Gold threatened in the fifth, but left the bases loaded against reliever Chesdin Harrington.

Evan Sperling walked four batters in the seventh, the last of which scored Nico Baldor for FSU’s run. Ben Harris gave up a bases loaded walk, a hit batter and a two-run single to Flowers for a 13-1 Seminole lead. Flowers had FSU’s only hit in the five-run inning.

After an unearned run in the bottom of the inning, De Sedas walked and scored on a passed ball for the final run of the game in the eighth inning.

Virginia native Cade Hungate, from Abingdon, pitched the final inning, forcing the third double play of the game for the final out.

Noles Win Series, Split Doubleheader.
FSU wins back-to-back ACC series.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Florida State (24-14, 12-9 ACC) split a doubleheader Saturday with Virginia (23-18, 9-12), winning the opener 5-3 and falling in the nightcap 13-3 on Davenport Field. With Thursday’s win, the Seminoles have won consecutive Atlantic Coast Conference series for the first time this season.

GAME 1 – FSU 5, Virginia 3
CJ Van Eyk won his second straight start in game one Saturday, throwing six innings and giving up just one run in FSU’s 5-3 win over Virginia. After the Cavaliers took its first lead of the series in the fourth inning, FSU answered with five runs over the next two innings to take control of the game.

Robby Martin had three RBI for the second straight game for FSU, while Reese Albert set a season high with three hits in his second game back from a shoulder injury. Drew Mendoza’s first triple of the season tied the game in the fifth.

Both teams left a number of runners on base in the early going, but Virginia struck first with an RBI single in the fourth inning from Logan Michaels. The Seminoles had chances against starting pitcher Noah Murdock, forcing the junior to throw 89 pitches in four innings, but the Noles left at least two runners on base in the first, third and fourth innings.

The Noles did strike in the fifth, with Albert walking before Mendoza’s triple tied the game. Martin followed with an RBI groundout and the Noles led 2-1 at the midway point.

After Van Eyk (5-3) pitched his first perfect inning in the bottom of the fifth, FSU added three more runs in the sixth inning. Murdock hit Elijah Cabell to start the inning and was pulled with a final line of 5.0 innings pitched, five hits and three runs allowed on 104 pitches. Andrew Abbott entered and gave up a single to Nander De Sedas, a sacrifice bunt to Mat Nelson and intentionally walked Mike Salvatore to load the bases.

With the left-on-left matchup, Albert laced his third single of the game to score Cabell and two batters later, Martin singled to score two and give FSU a 5-1 lead.

Van Eyk threw 113 pitches in 6.0 innings, leaving with two runners on base in the seventh inning. The sophomore gave up six hits and struck out four while allowing one run but his outing was hindered by an FSU defense that gave up a season-high five errors.

Conor Grady, the reigning ACC Pitcher of the Week, relieved Van Eyk, struck out Cayman Richardson and forced two pop flys to get FSU out of trouble.

Grady issued a pair of full-count walks to start the eighth and both runners scored, on a sacrifice fly and a single by Jack Weiller. The Seminoles issued three walks in the game and all three came around to score for the Cavaliers.

Weiller had four of Virginia’s eight hits.

J.C. Flowers earned his ninth save of the year, working around a two-out error and infield single to strike out cleanup hitter Brendan Rivoli and close the game.

OF NOTE

GAME 2 – Virginia 13, FSU 3
The Seminoles could not maintain its momentum in game two Saturday, falling 13-3 in the afternoon game. Virginia’s Cameron Simmons hit a two-run home run in the third inning off starter Shane Drohan (2-1), and the Cavaliers added five runs in the fifth inning against Drohan, Jonah Scolaro and Chase Haney.

Four of FSU’s six hits came in the eighth inning, scoring two runs on a sacrifice fly and a bases loaded walk. The Noles first run was on two walks, a passed ball and a wild pitch in the sixth inning.

Virginia’s Griff McGarry (3-5) pitched five innings, giving up a hit and one unearned run while striking out eight.

Virginia scored six runs over the final three innings to secure the win.

Noles Win Series, Split Doubleheader.
FSU wins back-to-back ACC series.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Florida State (24-14, 12-9 ACC) split a doubleheader Saturday with Virginia (23-18, 9-12), winning the opener 5-3 and falling in the nightcap 13-3 on Davenport Field. With Thursday’s win, the Seminoles have won consecutive Atlantic Coast Conference series for the first time this season.

GAME 1 – FSU 5, Virginia 3
CJ Van Eyk won his second straight start in game one Saturday, throwing six innings and giving up just one run in FSU’s 5-3 win over Virginia. After the Cavaliers took its first lead of the series in the fourth inning, FSU answered with five runs over the next two innings to take control of the game.

Robby Martin had three RBI for the second straight game for FSU, while Reese Albert set a season high with three hits in his second game back from a shoulder injury. Drew Mendoza’s first triple of the season tied the game in the fifth.

Both teams left a number of runners on base in the early going, but Virginia struck first with an RBI single in the fourth inning from Logan Michaels. The Seminoles had chances against starting pitcher Noah Murdock, forcing the junior to throw 89 pitches in four innings, but the Noles left at least two runners on base in the first, third and fourth innings.

The Noles did strike in the fifth, with Albert walking before Mendoza’s triple tied the game. Martin followed with an RBI groundout and the Noles led 2-1 at the midway point.

After Van Eyk (5-3) pitched his first perfect inning in the bottom of the fifth, FSU added three more runs in the sixth inning. Murdock hit Elijah Cabell to start the inning and was pulled with a final line of 5.0 innings pitched, five hits and three runs allowed on 104 pitches. Andrew Abbott entered and gave up a single to Nander De Sedas, a sacrifice bunt to Mat Nelson and intentionally walked Mike Salvatore to load the bases.

With the left-on-left matchup, Albert laced his third single of the game to score Cabell and two batters later, Martin singled to score two and give FSU a 5-1 lead.

Van Eyk threw 113 pitches in 6.0 innings, leaving with two runners on base in the seventh inning. The sophomore gave up six hits and struck out four while allowing one run but his outing was hindered by an FSU defense that gave up a season-high five errors.

Conor Grady, the reigning ACC Pitcher of the Week, relieved Van Eyk, struck out Cayman Richardson and forced two pop flys to get FSU out of trouble.

Grady issued a pair of full-count walks to start the eighth and both runners scored, on a sacrifice fly and a single by Jack Weiller. The Seminoles issued three walks in the game and all three came around to score for the Cavaliers.

Weiller had four of Virginia’s eight hits.

J.C. Flowers earned his ninth save of the year, working around a two-out error and infield single to strike out cleanup hitter Brendan Rivoli and close the game.

OF NOTE

GAME 2 – Virginia 13, FSU 3
The Seminoles could not maintain its momentum in game two Saturday, falling 13-3 in the afternoon game. Virginia’s Cameron Simmons hit a two-run home run in the third inning off starter Shane Drohan (2-1), and the Cavaliers added five runs in the fifth inning against Drohan, Jonah Scolaro and Chase Haney.

Four of FSU’s six hits came in the eighth inning, scoring two runs on a sacrifice fly and a bases loaded walk. The Noles first run was on two walks, a passed ball and a wild pitch in the sixth inning.

Virginia’s Griff McGarry (3-5) pitched five innings, giving up a hit and one unearned run while striking out eight.

Virginia scored six runs over the final three innings to secure the win.

Offense Highlights FSU win vs. Stetson.
Noles hit three home runs Tuesday.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Behind three home runs from its offense, Florida State (25-14) beat Stetson (18-21) 9-8 Tuesday evening on Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium. The Noles used six pitchers against the Hatters, with Jonah Scolaro (2-0) earning the win in three innings of relief.

Mat Nelson, Reese Albert and Nico Baldor each hit a home run against Bret Neilan (1-4), who allowed all nine of FSU’s runs over 6.1 innings pitched. J.C. Flowers had an RBI single at the plate and notched the final four outs without allowing a run for his ACC-leading 10th save of the year.

Against starting pitcher Conor Grady, the first four Stetson batters reached on a single, a walk, an RBI double and an RBI single for an early 2-0 lead. Grady recovered to strike out a pair to limit any further damage. The right-hander started on a pitch count and left after the first inning at 35 pitches.

The Seminoles took the lead in the second inning. Neilan hit Flowers with a pitch and Elijah Cabell laced a single up the middle to cut the lead in half. Nelson followed with his second home run of the season, a two-run shot off the left field scoreboard for a 3-2 FSU lead.

FSU scored three more in the third off Neilan, including a two-out RBI single from Flowers to score Mike Salvatore and a two-run home run from first baseman Baldor, the first of his career.

Kyle Ball got all three runs back in the fourth inning for Stetson, hitting his first home run of the season to score three runs. Clayton Kwiatkowski pitched three innings Tuesday, striking out a season-high-tying five batters.

Albert, playing his fourth game since returning from injury and hitting in the leadoff spot for the first time in his career, hit his third home run of the year for a 7-5 FSU lead in the fourth.

Stetson tied it with two unearned runs against Scolaro in the seventh inning. The Noles had four errors in the game.

Centerfielder Andrew MacNeil lost a ball in the lights off Nelson’s bat to start the inning, and Salvatore doubled off the third baseman’s glove for an 8-7 lead against Neilan. Reliever Danny Garcia entered with one out in the seventh inning and allowed a single up the middle from Robby Martin to make it 9-7 FSU but no other runners reached base in 1.2 innings.

The Seminoles threw three pitchers in the eighth inning as Stetson cut the lead to 9-8. Antonio Velez struck out two batters before leaving after allowing a double; Chase Haney issued a walk and an RBI single; and Flowers came on from center field to force a line out to end the inning.

In the ninth, Flowers hit the leadoff batter Baylen Sparks and Mark Townsend singled, but Flowers got the final two batters out to preserve the FSU lead and get FSU’s 13th straight win over Stetson in Dick Howser Stadium.

Salvatore led FSU with three hits; Koos and Arenas each had three hits for the Hatters.

Noles Wrap Two-Game Sweep of Stetson.
FSU hits three triples, three home runs in win.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida State (26-14) completed its two-game sweep of Stetson (18-22) Wednesday, topping the Hatters 10-4 in front of 3,863 fans at Dick Howser Stadium. Seven of FSU’s 10 hits went for extra bases, with Reese Albert tying the school record with two triples and Drew Mendoza hitting a pair of home runs.

Shane Drohan (3-1), FSU’s normal game three starter in the weekend rotation, started and threw three scoreless innings, tying a career high with eight strikeouts.

Florida State scored a pair of first inning runs against Mitchell Senger (1-4), who recorded just one out before being replaced by Daniel Paret. Mike Salvatore hit his third triple of the year, tied for the most by a Seminole in the past three seasons, and Mendoza followed with his 11th home run for a 2-0 lead.

Senger allowed a walk and hit two batters to leave with the bases loaded, but Paret got a strikeout and a pop fly to end the inning.

Drohan started for the Noles, tying his career high with eight strikeouts in just three innings, allowing two hits. After starting last Saturday’s game at Virginia, Drohan threw 53 pitches against the Hatters Tuesday. Tyler Ahearn made just his seventh appearance of the year, getting two outs in the fourth while allowing a run to score. FSU got out of the inning on a bases-loaded catch by Nander De Sedas at second base, keeping its 2-1 lead with Antonio Velez on the mound.

FSU scored four in the bottom of the inning, on a pair of home runs and a sacrifice fly. After Jonathan Foster walked, Elijah Cabell hit his seventh home run of the season and his first since March 23. Albert hit FSU’s second triple of the game and scored on Salvatore’s sacrifice fly, followed by Mendoza’s second home run, hit over the batter’s eye in center field and traveling an estimated 441 feet.

The Hatters hit back-to-back home runs off Velez in the fifth, the first time this year FSU has allowed back-to-back homers, to trim the lead to 6-3 FSU.

Danny Garcia, after throwing 1.2 innings in relief Tuesday, started the fifth and allowed a single to Robby Martin and a double to Mat Nelson. Nico Baldor pinch hit for Foster and scored Martin on a grounder to first base. After two straight hit batters, Garcia forced a pop up and a ground out to end the frame.

Velez picked off runners at first base in the sixth and seventh innings. He finished with 3.1 innings pitched, two earned runs allowed and six strikeouts. His six strikeouts were a career high.

Albert tied the FSU record with his second triple of the game, coming around to score on Salvatore’s single in the seventh inning and giving FSU a 10-3 lead.

Austin Pollock gave up a run over the final two innings, including a perfect ninth inning, to preserve the 10-4 win.

The top three batters in the Stetson lineup each struck out three times; as a team, FSU sat down 15 Hatters hitters.

Offense Backs Another Parrish Gem.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Behind a third straight dominant outing by starting pitcher Drew Parrish, Florida State (27-14, 13-9 ACC) topped Wake Forest (25-18, 11-11) 13-2 Friday evening at Dick Howser Stadium. In front of 3,840 fans, Parrish (6-3) struck out 10 batters in seven innings, giving up just three hits and a walk. Over his last three games, Parrish has not allowed an earned run in 21 innings.

The Seminole bats came to play as well Friday, scoring eight runs in the fifth and sixth innings, with Robby Martin hitting his second home run of the year and J.C. Flowers adding three hits and two RBI. Martin and Elijah Cabell also had a pair of runs batted in. FSU iced the game with four runs in the eighth.

The Noles struck first against Wake Forest starter Colin Peluse (3-6), taking a 1-0 lead in the third inning. With two outs, FSU loaded the bases and Nico Baldor battled from an 0-2 hole, eventually getting hit by a pitch to score Drew Mendoza.

Florida State added three runs in the fifth inning to end Peluse’s 11th start of the year. Mendoza earned his second walk of the game and Martin made it a 3-0 game with his second home run of the year, a shot to right-centerfield on the eighth pitch of the at-bat. Peluse allowed back-to-back singles to Flowers and Baldor, the latter including an error in center to allow Flowers to score.

Down 4-0, Wake Forest went to the bullpen for Morgan McSweeney with a runner on first and no outs in the fifth inning. McSweeney struck out two batters to get out of the inning without further damage.

FSU batted around in the sixth inning, scoring five runs on two hits, two walks, a hit by pitch and a Wake Forest error. Flowers and Cabell had two-run singles in the inning off Shane Muntz.

Parrish continued to dominate in the late innings, retiring his final 11 batters faced. The junior threw just 98 pitches and lowered his earned run average to 3.99. Before his current run of 21 innings without an earned run, Parrish’s ERA was at 6.21.

Clayton Kwiatkowski relieved Parrish to start the eighth, allowing two runs (one earned) on a hit and two FSU errors. Chase Haney notched the final out of the eighth to keep the score 9-2 Seminoles.

Cooper Swanson, who entered in the field in the top of the inning, hit a towering home run over the left field scoreboard. Swanson has seven home runs on the season after hitting just two as a freshman. FSU added the final two runs on a groundout and the first career double for McGuire Weaver.

The Noles allowed just two runs and five hits to the Demon Deacons Friday. Wake Forest entered the game 10th nationally in runs and 12th in hits.

Noles Win Third Straight Series.
Van Eyk (6-3) gets win; Mendoza hits 13th HR.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida State scored early and often Saturday, leading 7-0 through three innings in an eventual 9-5 win over Wake Forest on Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium. The Seminoles (28-14, 14-9 ACC) notched 12 hits, with three coming off the bat of Drew Mendoza, including his team high 13th home run. Wake (25-19, 11-12 ACC) struck out 17 times, with 11 by FSU starting pitcher CJ Van Eyk.

Van Eyk (6-3) was effectively wild Saturday, striking out a career-high 11 while issuing five walks. The sophomore right-hander gave up four hits, including a three-run home run in the fifth inning, but rebounded to strike out the side. Van Eyk has won three straight starts.

Mendoza’s four RBI were a season high, and Reese Albert, Nander De Sedas and Mat Nelson also had two hits for the Seminoles. FSU has scored 22 runs the first two games of the series, beating Wake Forest 13-2 Friday night.

FSU scored twice in the first inning off Wake Forest starter Jared Shuster (4-3). Mike Salvatore led off with his 12th double of the season and Albert singled off Shuster’s leg to put runners on the corners. Mendoza lined an RBI single to center field to score Salvatore before J.C. Flowers reached on a bunt single to score Albert.

Leading 2-0, FSU added five runs in the third inning on four hits, two walks and a pivotal Wake Forest error that led to three unearned runs. Nelson hit a bases loaded single to score two runs, Cabell singled in a run, Albert had his team-high fifth sacrifice fly of the year and Mendoza hit his second RBI single of the game for a 7-0 lead through three innings.

Van Eyk ran into trouble in the fifth inning, surrendering a walk and a single before Chris Lanzilli hit his 11th home run of the season to cut the score to 7-3. He recovered to strike out the side and finished with 11 in the game, a career high.

Salvatore drew his career-high third walk off Tyler Witt in the fifth inning before Mendoza’s two-run home run put FSU up 9-3. Mendoza’s three hits and four RBI were season highs.

Jonah Scolaro earned his first save of the year, pitching the final four innings in relief. The sophomore left-hander gave up two runs on Lanzilli’s second home run of the game but also tied a career high with 6 strikeouts.

For the Demon Deacons, Lanzilli and Patrick Frick combined for five of the team’s six hits. Lanzilli had all five RBI on his two home runs.

Noles Drop Finale, Win Series vs. Wake.
Martin, Albert homer in 16-12 loss.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Despite dropping a wild Sunday finale 16-12 that saw a combined 28 runs and 28 hits, Florida State claimed its third straight series victory this weekend against Wake Forest. The Seminoles (28-15, 14-10 ACC) got home runs from Reese Albert and Robby Martin Sunday, while the Demon Deacons (26-19, 12-12) used a grand slam and two bases-loaded doubles to secure the win. Martin had a game-high four hits.

FSU scored in five straight innings, and seven of nine, but Wake Forest scored four runs in the third, sixth and seventh innings and added three crucial runs in the ninth. Bobby Seymour and Shane Muntz, Wake’s four and five hitters, had 11 combined RBI in the contest. The Noles struck first against Ryan Cusick, with Nico Baldor doubling to right-center field and scoring on Mat Nelson’s RBI single.

Wake Forest answered in the third on Muntz’s first career grand slam. The Demon Deacons loaded the bases on a single, a walk and an intentional walk before Muntz’s two-out home run. Starting pitcher Conor Grady (6-4) lasted three innings, allowing four runs on four hits and striking out one.

Albert hit his fourth home run of the season in the third inning. Since returning from an injury last Thursday against Virginia, Albert is hitting .387 with seven RBI and 10 runs scored.

Shane Drohan relieved Grady in the fourth, giving up an infield single and three walks in two-thirds of an inning. Down 5-2, Antonio Velez came in with the bases loaded and got Chris Lanzilli to fly out to the warning track to end the inning.

Cusick allowed a Cooper Swanson single and walked Nander De Sedas before Mike Salvatore brought in Swanson on an error by third baseman Jake Mueller. That ended Cusick’s day, turning the mound over to Bobby Hearn. Hearn hit Albert with a pitch to load the bases, but Drew Mendoza popped up as FSU stranded three.

Martin hit his third home run of the season, and second of the weekend, to lead off the fifth inning and cut the deficit to 5-4. The Noles scored in four straight innings from the second through fifth innings.

Both teams put up four spots in the sixth inning, maintaining Wake Forest’s one-run lead. The Demon Deacons faced three FSU pitchers in the inning. Velez left after a walk and a fielding error; Seymour hit a bases loaded double to score three runs and Michael Ludowig tripled to score Seymour against Chase Haney; and Tyler Ahearn struck out Logan Harvey to end the inning with FSU down 9-4.

FSU hit around in the bottom of the inning, with an RBI single from Mendoza; a two-run single from Baldor and an RBI single from pinch-hitter Alec Sanchez that cut the lead to 9-8. The Demon Deacons also used three pitchers in the inning. Antonio Menendez (6-1) did not allow a run in 1.2 innings pitched to earn the win.

Wake Forest iced the game in the seventh, scoring four more runs on another three-run double from Seymour and an RBI single from Muntz. Those two combined for 11 runs batted in Sunday.

Sanchez added a two-run single against William Fleming in the eighth, and Nelson hit a double to make the score 13-11 through eight innings, but the Noles could not get closer. Wake Forest scored three runs in the ninth, and Salvatore doubled and scored FSU’s final run in the 16-12 game.

Noles Drop Opener to Pitt.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – No. 25 Florida State dropped the series opener to visiting Pitt Friday, falling 10-0 on Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium. Pitt scored three runs in five innings against Drew Parrish (6-4), snapping the left-handers’ 22.0-inning streak without allowing an earned run.

Derek West (2-2) earned the win, allowing just five hits and a walk while striking out nine in seven innings.

FSU’s 1-2-3 hitters each had two hits, accounting for all six of the Seminoles’ base knocks on Friday.

Nico Popa and Bryce O’Farrell each went 3-for-5 for Pitt, with Popa scoring three runs and knocking in four and O’Farrell scoring once with two RBI.

David Yanni tripled to start the second inning, scoring on O’Farrell’s RBI single. Pitt added two in the third inning on Popa’s fourth home run of the season.

Parrish did strike out 7 batters Friday, giving him 303 for his career. He ranks 10th in FSU history in strikeouts.

In the seventh, Pitt got two runs against reliever Jonah Scolaro and five runs in the ninth inning against Clayton Kwiatkowski.

The Seminoles best chances to score came in the sixth and eighth inning. Down 3-0, Mike Salvatore, Reese Albert and Drew Mendoza singled to load the bases with no outs, but West struck out two batters and Nico Baldor flew out to right field to preserve the shutout.

In the eighth against Brady Devereux, Salvatore singled and Albert walked with no outs. Devereux gave way to Chase Smith, who got the next three batters out. FSU stranded nine runners in the game.

Noles Sweep Doubleheader, Win Series vs. Pitt.
FSU outscored Panthers 27-12 in final two games

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida State won both games of a doubleheader Sunday, sweeping Pitt 15-6 in a suspended game from Saturday and 12-6 in the series finale. FSU (30-16, 16-11 ACC) has won four straight Atlantic Coast Conference series and is a season-high 14 games over .500.

FSU hit a combined .397 in the final two games of the series, with 27 runs on 29 hits.

Game 1 – FSU 15, Pitt 6 (resumed from Saturday)
The game began Saturday before twice being stopped due to weather. After 21 minutes, the game was halted in the bottom of the first inning for two hours and 49 minutes. The teams played 44 more minutes before a second and final weather delay that pushed the conclusion of the game to Sunday.

All told, five Seminoles had at least three hits, J.C. Flowers hit two of FSU’s five home runs and FSU had a season-high 20 hits in the 15-6 win on Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium. The Noles 20 hits were its most in an Atlantic Coast Conference game since 2008 (21 at Wake Forest).

On the mound, CJ Van Eyk struck out 10 batters in just 3.0 innings before the game was suspended. Conor Grady (7-4) earned the win, pitching three innings in relief.

Robby Martin gave FSU a 3-0 lead in the first inning, hitting a three-run home run as the first batter after the first rain delay. Flowers hit his 10th home run against Dan Hammer (3-5) before Pitt scored two against Van Eyk in the third inning. Van Eyk struck out 10 batters in just 3.0 innings Saturday, thanks to a wild pitch strikeout in the first inning. Van Eyk did not return for Sunday’s resumed game.

Pitt brought out Chris Gomez to start Sunday, allowing an RBI single to Mat Nelson in the third inning to extend FSU’s lead to 5-2. The Panthers countered against Grady on Connor Perry’s solo home run, but a one-out triple did not score after two groundouts ended the fifth inning.

Nico Popa doubled to score Sky Duff in the fifth inning, an unearned run after Duff reached on an FSU fielding error. The Panthers first two batters of the seventh singled and Florida State brought in Jonah Scolaro to get out of trouble. The sophomore left-hander got the next three batters out on a fielders choice, a strikeout and a ground out to end the inning.

Reese Albert singled off the first base bag in the bottom of the inning and scored on Mendoza’s double off the centerfield wall. After Nelson’s team-high seventh sacrifice bunt scored Mendoza, Flowers took the first pitch he saw for a two-run home run, his second of the game (and first of the day). FSU led 9-4 through seven innings.

Flowers pitched a scoreless eighth inning and FSU added six runs against William Kirwan to ice the game.

OF NOTE

Game 2 – FSU 12, Pitt 6
The Seminoles capped Sunday with a 12-6 win to claim the series victory. After Pitt took a 2-1 lead in the fourth inning, Florida State scored 11 runs in inning four through six to take command.

Jonah Scolaro improved to 3-0 in the win, throwing 2.1 innings in relief without allowing a hit. Shane Drohan allowed a pair of runs in 3.2 innings pitched as the starter.

Drew Mendoza had three hits in the game to go along with a sacrifice fly. For the weekend, Mendoza hit .800 (8-for-10) with six runs scored, five RBI and three walks. His average jumped from .289 to .321 on the weekend.

After Pitt took a lead against Drohan in the fourth, the Noles immediately responded in the bottom of the inning with a Mat Nelson RBI single and a sacrifice fly from Nico Baldor. FSU broke out for five runs on three hits and a pair of Panther errors in the fifth.

In the sixth inning, FSU extended its lead to 12-2 with four more runs on two hits – an RBI single from Mendoza and a two-run single from J.C. Flowers. Nelson was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to score another run.

Robby Martin had two hits for FSU, pushing his season total to 52. Mike Salvatore had three of FSU’s six walks.

For Pitt, nine different players had one hit each, including back-to-back home runs from Connor Perry and Nico Popa in the eighth inning to trim FSU’s lead to 12-5.

Noles Split Doubleheader with Jacksonville.
Velez, Kwiatkowski combine for 11 shutout innings.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida State (31-17) split a doubleheader with Jacksonville (26-23) Tuesday, winning the opener 3-0 and falling in the nightcap 3-2. Both games were scheduled for seven innings.

GAME 1 – FSU 3, Jacksonville 0
Florida State scored a run in three straight innings and Antonio Velez (3-2) threw six shutout frames in the Seminoles’ 3-0 win over the Dolphins in game one. Velez allowed four hits, did not walk a batter and struck out two in his best start of the season.

Nico Baldor doubled home Mat Nelson, who walked and stole second base to get the Noles on the board. In the third, Drew Mendoza singled and scored on Nelson’s eighth sacrifice bunt of the year. In the fourth, Baldor doubled to open the inning and scored on Carter Smith’s RBI single.

After giving up back-to-back singles to start the seventh and final inning, Velez was relieved by J.C. Flowers. Flowers picked up his 11th save, most in the Atlantic Coast Conference, by forcing two groundouts and a fly out.

The shutout was the second of the season for FSU and first since Opening Day, a combined no-hitter against Maine.

OF NOTE

GAME 2 – Jacksonville 3, FSU 2
The Dolphins scored three late runs, one in the sixth inning to tie and two in the seventh, to salvage a split in Tuesday’s doubleheader.

Clayton Kwiatkowski picked up where Velez left off in game one, throwing a career high 5.0 innings without allowing a run. Kwiatkowski struck out the side in the first inning and finished with four in the game.

Three Jacksonville pitchers combined to allow just one hit in the first three innings, but the Seminoles took a 1-0 lead in the third inning on Mike Salvatore’s sacrifice fly to score Elijah Cabell.

JU tied it on an unearned run in the sixth and had a runner at third base with no outs, but Chase Haney struck out the next two batters and forced an infield pop-up to keep the game tied.

After Jacksonville scored two in the seventh inning, FSU loaded the bases on a walk and two singles before Nander De Sedas was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to make the score 3-2. Zach Bryant earned his ninth save by forcing a groundout to end the game.

Nico Baldor doubled home Mat Nelson, who walked and stole second base to get the Noles on the board. In the third, Drew Mendoza singled and scored on Nelson’s eighth sacrifice bunt of the year. In the fourth, Baldor doubled to open the inning and scored on Carter Smith’s RBI single.

After giving up back-to-back singles to start the seventh and final inning, Velez was relieved by J.C. Flowers. Flowers picked up his 11th save, most in the Atlantic Coast Conference, by forcing two groundouts and a fly out.

The shutout was the second of the season for FSU and first since Opening Day, a combined no-hitter against Maine.

OF NOTE

GAME 2 – Jacksonville 3, FSU 2
The Dolphins scored three late runs, one in the sixth inning to tie and two in the seventh, to salvage a split in Tuesday’s doubleheader.

Clayton Kwiatkowski picked up where Velez left off in game one, throwing a career high 5.0 innings without allowing a run. Kwiatkowski struck out the side in the first inning and finished with four in the game.

Three Jacksonville pitchers combined to allow just one hit in the first three innings, but the Seminoles took a 1-0 lead in the third inning on Mike Salvatore’s sacrifice fly to score Elijah Cabell.

JU tied it on an unearned run in the sixth and had a runner at third base with no outs, but Chase Haney struck out the next two batters and forced an infield pop-up to keep the game tied.

After Jacksonville scored two in the seventh inning, FSU loaded the bases on a walk and two singles before Nander De Sedas was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to make the score 3-2. Zach Bryant earned his ninth save by forcing a groundout to end the game.

Noles Drop Road Game at Stetson.
Jack Anderson, Tyler Ahearn set career-high innings pitched.

DeLAND, Fla. – Jack Anderson, Tyler Ahearn and Chase Haney combined to allow just five hits Wednesday, but a third-inning run was all Stetson needed to top Florida State 1-0 at Melching Field in DeLand. Anderson threw 2.1 innings in his first career start, while Ahearn pitched 4.2 innings in relief, also a career high. Haney pitched a perfect eighth inning.

The Hatters loaded the bases in the second inning on a walk and two singles, but Anderson (0-1) struck out Kyle Ball and forced a double play from Austin Bogart to keep Stetson off the board.

Anderson couldn’t work out of trouble in the third, leaving after an RBI single off the bat of Jorge Arenas. With one out and runners on the corners, Ahearn came in and got Eric Foggo to ground into a 6-4-3 double play to get out of further trouble.

Ahearn pitched a career high 4.2 innings in relief, giving up just one hit, two walks and striking out two.

Stetson starter Robbie Peto (1-8) faced the minimum in the first four innings, with FSU’s only baserunner getting thrown out attempting to steal in the first inning.

Daniel Paret started the fifth in relief of Peto, throwing 3.0 innings without allowing a hit. He was replaced by Vlad Nunez after hitting Mat Nelson and walking J.C. Flowers on four pitches to start the eighth inning. Nunez stranded both runners in scoring position, forcing a one-out pop up and striking out Jonathan Foster.

In the ninth, Drew Mendoza drew his third walk of the game, but Nunez struck out Robby Martin to secure the win.

FSU Wins Opener vs. Richmond.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Behind a quality start from Drew Parrish and an offense that posted 10 hits, No. 25 Florida State (32-18) beat Richmond (25-20-1) 8-2 Friday night at Dick Howser Stadium. Robby Martin had two of FSU’s four doubles, Mat Nelson hit his fourth home run of the year and Parrish (7-4) struck out eight in his six innings pitched.

FSU struck early against Richmond starter Tim Miller (4-2), scoring five runs in three innings against the right-hander. Martin hit his first double in the first inning to score Reese Albert and later came around to score when Nelson reached on a throwing error by third baseman Tyler Plantier.

Nander De Sedas reached on a bunt single to start the second inning, followed by Elijah Cabell’s ninth double of the year. De Sedas scored on Albert’s sixth sacrifice fly and Cabell touched home on Mike Salvatore’s RBI single, his 60th hit of the year.

Nelson hit his fourth home run of the year to lead off the third inning to push FSU’s lead to 5-0. Miller lasted 3.0 innings, allowed five runs on six hits and striking out three.

The Spiders finally got to Parrish in the fourth inning for a pair of runs on its first two hits of the game. Sage Bruhl led off with a single through the right side and Plantier hit his ninth home run of the year to trim the lead to 5-2. Parrish did not give up another hit, finishing with 6.0 innings pitched and eight strikeouts on 93 pitches.

Martin doubled for the second time in the fifth inning and scored on J.C. Flowers’ sacrifice bunt. FSU scored two more in the sixth inning on a pair of wild pitches from Kent Morrison (to score Cabell) and Matt Olson (scoring Salvatore).

Chase Haney relieved Parrish in the seventh, allowing a couple of eighth inning walks but nothing else in his two innings. The Spiders loaded the bases in the ninth inning, but Jonah Scolaro ended the game with a strikeout and a fielder’s choice ground out to secure the win.

Salvatore Shines on Senior Day.
Ewing, N.J. native gets four hits, HR shy of cycle.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – CJ Van Eyk did not allow a run Saturday, improving to 7-3 in FSU’s 11-1 win over Richmond on Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium. The sophomore right-hander struck out eight batters and allowed just three hits in five innings. Florida State (33-18) scored nine runs in the first four innings while Richmond (25-21-1) stranded six baserunners in that span.

Offensively, senior Mike Salvatore tied a career high with four hits and finished a home run shy of the cycle. Carter Smith had three hits and J.C. Flowers added two runs batted in.

Florida State chased Richmond starting pitcher Jacob Marcus (2-4) after just one inning. The right-hander threw 49 pitches, allowing just one hit but walking four batters, including a bases loaded base on balls to Flowers. Mat Nelson also had a sacrifice fly in the inning.

Antonio Balducci pitched the second inning and FSU again scored two runs on one hit. Reese Albert was hit by a pitch before Salvatore hit an RBI triple. Salvatore has four of FSU’s 11 triples this season.

Drew Mendoza followed with an RBI groundout that extended FSU’s lead to 4-0 through two innings.

FSU added four runs in the third inning against Balducci and Brendan McGuigan. Flowers singled to score Nelson, who reached on a walk; Nander De Sedas singled to score Smith and end Balducci’s day. Albert singled in a run and Salvatore grounded out for FSU’s eighth run of the game.

Smith doubled in the fourth inning to score Martin and push FSU’s lead to 9-0. It was Smith’s first multi-hit game as a Seminole.

As FSU extended its lead, Van Eyk was running through the Spiders hitters. Despite having two runners on base three times in the first four innings, Richmond came up empty-handed each time. Van Eyk allowed three hits, hit a batter and issued two walks in his 5.0 innings. He had eight strikeouts Saturday, giving him 29 over the past three games and 13.0 innings.

Richmond scored an unearned run in the top of the sixth off Shane Drohan, but the Seminoles answered in the bottom of the inning with singles from senior Jonathan Foster, Smith and an RBI knock from McGuire Weaver. Weaver started Saturday with two hits on the year and added a double in the eighth inning.

Senior Tim Becker doubled to score Weaver in the eighth and provide the final 11-1 margin. It was the first double of Becker’s career.

Drohan pitched three innings in relief, surrendering two hits, walking three and striking out three. Gage Hutchinson, FSU’s fourth and final senior, threw the ninth inning, getting ahead 0-2 to all five batters faced, striking out two and forcing a fly out to end the game.

Noles Win in Martin’s Home Finale.
Salvatore, Mendoza homer in 7-2 win vs. Richmond.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – For the final time in his 40-year career, head coach Mike Martin donned his Sunday Golds and led Florida State (34-18) to victory, this time a 7-2 win over Richmond (25-22-1) in front of 4,011 fans in Dick Howser Stadium. The game capped Florida State’s home schedule for the 2019 season and was the final game on Mike Martin Field for the legendary skipper, who announced in June that 2019 was his last season. FSU finished 28-9 at home this year.

A night after a celebration in his honor at the Donald L. Tucker Civic Center saw hundreds of former players and fans return to show their appreciation, the Seminoles started sluggish as Richmond led 2-0 through four innings. Conor Grady (8-4) had one blemish Sunday, a two-run home run to A.J. Kloehn in the second inning. Grady pitched five innings, giving up four hits and striking out five.

The Seminole bats came to life in the ‘Oh, Canada’ fifth inning, striking for six runs on four hits against Garrett Aylor (3-2), Dalton Light and Brian Craven. Reese Albert doubled and scored on Mike Salvatore’s sixth home run of the season off the scoreboard in left field. Drew Mendoza immediately followed with his team-high 14th home run to give FSU a 3-2 lead.

Light walked all three batters he faced and Craven gave up a two-run double to J.C. Flowers that just skipped over the third baseman. Flowers leads FSU with 47 RBI on the season. Nander De Sedas added a sacrifice fly for the 6-2 lead.

All six of Antonio Velez’s outs come via strikeout Sunday. Velez pitched in relief of Grady for the sixth and seventh innings, tying his career high with six strikeouts.

Martin gave FSU a 7-2 lead with an RBI single in the sixth inning that scored Mendoza.

Richmond made a run in the eighth inning, getting the first three batters on base against Clayton Kwiatkowski, but the rain delay started after Chase Haney struck out a batter and the game was called shortly thereafter.

Martin tipped his cap to the Seminole faithful and, with his wife Carol, walked around the field that bears his name for the final time in front of the home crowd.

Noles Drop Opener at No. 8 Louisville.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – No. 8 Louisville scored early and often Thursday, beating Florida State 14-1 in front of 1,896 at Patterson Stadium. The Cardinals’ Reid Detmers improved to 11-2 on the year with 11 strikeouts in six innings pitched.

Louisville hit four home runs against Drew Parrish (7-5), with three coming in the first inning. The Cardinals scored four in the first inning, seven more in the second and once in the third inning for a 12-0 lead.

Tyler Ahearn gave up a pair of runs in 3.0 innings of relief. Austin Pollock allowed a run on two hits in 2.1 innings pitched. He was pulled after a weather delay in the seventh inning.

Freshman Alex Binelas hit two of Louisville’s home runs off Parrish and finished with five runs batted in.

Seven of Florida State’s eight hits were singles, including a pair by Mike Salvatore and Robby Martin. FSU got three hits in the eighth inning against Glenn Albanese, capped by Martin’s RBI single to score Tim Becker as the Seminoles avoided the shutout.

The Noles loaded the bases in the third inning but could not push a run across; FSU had a pair on in the fifth before Detmers got back-to-back strikeouts to keep the shutout in place.

The game was delayed for 86 minutes in the bottom of the seventh inning. Freshman Jack Anderson made his first appearance in an ACC road game this season, surrendering a run in the eighth inning.

Defensively, FSU turned three doubles plays for the second time this season (at Virginia, April 18).

Offense Comes Alive in 14-3 Win at No. 8 Louisville.
Van Eyk gets 8th win as Noles even series.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Behind 16 hits, including a pair of home runs from freshman catcher Mat Nelson, Florida State (35-19, 17-12 ACC) beat No. 8 Louisville (42-13, 20-9) 14-3 Friday evening at Patterson Stadium. Mike Salvatore added four hits and J.C. Flowers reached in five plate appearances, while pitcher CJ Van Eyk improved to 8-3 on the year.

The Seminoles chased Louisville starter Nick Bennett (6-3) in a five-run third inning that gave FSU all the runs it would need. FSU’s 16 hits were its most in a road game since 2017.

Nelson is hitting .283 this season and .362 since the beginning of April. Friday’s home runs were the first two of his young career away from Dick Howser Stadium. Salvatore tied a career high with four hits and reached base five times Friday; Flowers had a pair of singles and drew three walks.

Van Eyk struck out eight batters in six innings, allowing six hits and three earned runs on 111 pitches. Jonah Scolaro pitched the final three innings without allowing a hit to earn his second save of the season.

Van Eyk worked around a hectic first inning and allowed just one run after the Cardinals loaded the bases with no outs. Louisville led off with a double, a hit by pitch and a walk and scored when Danny Oriente was hit by a pitch to score Lucas Dunn.

Nelson’s first home run against Bennett tied the game in the top of the second.

The Noles exploded for five runs on six hits in the third against Bennett, chasing the left-hander after nine hits and six earned runs, both career highs. Elijah Cabell and Salvatore led off the inning with singles and Reese Albert’s groundout gave FSU its first lead of the series at 2-1.

Drew Mendoza followed with his second triple of the season; Robby Martin singled to score Mendoza; and Nelson hit his second home run of the game and sixth of the season for a 6-1 lead. After Flowers walked and Nander De Sedas singled, Luke Smith relieved Bennett and recorded a pair of outs to get out of the inning.

After the Cards added two runs on Zach Britton’s home run and back-to-back doubles in the fourth, FSU responded with three in the top of the fifth against Smith. Pinch-hitter Carter Smith singled to score Nelson (hit by pitch) and Flowers (walk). Salvatore singled to score Smith and push FSU’s lead to 9-3.

Martin added his second RBI single in the eighth to score Mendoza. Martin was 3-for-6 Friday with three RBI and leads FSU with 49 on the year.

Scolaro shut down the Cardinals over the final three innings, striking out four and giving up just one walk and he hit one batter.

FSU scored three runs in the eighth inning and two more in the ninth against the Louisville bullpen. FSU’s 14 runs scored were its most in a road game this season, matching its 14 runs at Virginia on April 18.

Louisville leadoff hitter Lucas Dunn had three of the Cardinals six hits. Cleanup hitter Alex Binelas, who hit two home runs in Thursday’s series opener, was 0-for-4 Friday with four strikeouts.

Noles Drop #ACCBase Opener.
Wake wins 7-4; first loss in ACC Tourney since 2016.

DURHAM, N.C. – Wake Forest scored go-ahead runs on two bases-loaded walks and a passed ball in the seventh inning to outlast sixth-seeded and two-time defending champion Florida State 7-4 on Tuesday night in the Atlantic Coast Conference Baseball Championship.

Bobby Seymour and DJ Poteet scored off walks to Bruce Steel and Jake Mueller sandwiched around Shane Muntz’s run off a passed ball. The 10th-seeded Demon Deacons (31-25) left 14 runners on base overall, but sent nine batters to the plate against six FSU pitchers in the seventh.

Jonah Scolaro (3-2) took the loss.

Carter Bach (1-0) got the final out in the sixth to earn the victory for Wake Forest. Mueller, Seymour, Chris Lanzilli and Logan Harvey each had two hits as the Deacons finished with 11.

Drew Parrish allowed one earned run in 5.2 innings, striking out 13 hitters. In four career appearances in the ACC Tournament, Parrish has 35 strikeouts, including a career-high 14 in 2018 against NC State and 13 against Wake Forest.

J.C. Flowers hit a two-run triple and Nander De Sedas followed with a two-run homer in FSU’s four-run fourth that tied the game. The Seminoles (35-21) managed just six hits.

Noles Beat Wolfpack, Await Postseason Fate.
16 hits most for FSU in ACC Tournament since 2004.

DURHAM, N.C. – CJ Van Eyk allowed just one hit over six innings and Florida State had 16 hits Friday night in an 11-0 victory over NC State in the Atlantic Coast Conference Baseball Championship.

Van Eyk (9-3) struck out 11 before J.C. Flowers worked the final inning. Flowers and Drew Mendoza each contributed three hits and three RBIs for the Seminoles (36-21).

The game was shortened to seven innings.

The Wolfpack (42-16) had already clinched a berth in Saturday’s semifinals. NC State will play Georgia Tech with the winner facing Boston College or North Carolina in Sunday’s title game.

The Seminoles scored twice in the first on Mendoza’s RBI double and Flowers’ single. They added two runs in the third and fourth innings and then tacked on four more in the fifth.

Mike Salvatore and Robby Martin each drove in a pair of runs for Florida State, which is hoping to get a berth in the NCAA tournament as an at-large selection when the field is announced on Monday at noon.

Tim Becker’s Career Day Leads Noles in NCAA Opener.
Senior walk-on hit first two home runs of career.

By Ariya Massoudi, Seminoles.com

ATHENS, Ga. – In front of 2,800 fans at Foley Field—mostly decked in Garnet and Gold—Florida State defeated No. 2 seed Florida Atlantic 13-7 in the Athens Regional on Friday. The Noles looked relaxed and loose all day, playing error free baseball and mashing six home runs on their way to 20 hits on the afternoon.

Graduate student Tim Becker and junior Drew Mendoza combined for four home runs and eight runs batted in against FAU. For Becker, who joined the Seminoles after three seasons on the club team, the two home runs were the first of his collegiate career.

FSU got the party started with a solo blast from J.C. Flowers in the 2nd inning. The junior took the very first pitch he saw from Blake Sanderson (8-3) over the wall in left-center field, a majestic shot that gave the Noles an early lead.

Two batters later, Carter Smith singled, setting the stage for Becker. The senior hammered a ball off the scoreboard in right field, his first career blast, extending the lead to 3-0.

“Every time he does anything when he plays, the whole dugout freaks out and gets excited,” Mendoza said on Becker’s big afternoon. “For him to do that, it’s awesome.”

The Noles weren’t done, as the long ball continued. After Mike Salvatore reached on an error, Mendoza annihilated his 15th home run of the season, a no-doubter to right-center field that cleared the trees beyond the wall, giving FSU a 5-0 advantage.

In the 4th, the Owls got on the board after a double and a two-run home run from Bobby Morgensen to cut the lead to 5-2 off of Drew Parrish (8-5).

Parrish went five solid innings for FSU, giving up five runs and striking out seven hitters.

The Noles got one of those runs back in the 5th inning on a Smith RBI single that dropped into center field, scoring Mat Nelson from second base and giving FSU a 6-2 lead.

But, FAU continued to battle as they cut the lead to three yet again via a home run from Joe Montes in the bottom of the inning. However, with runners on the corners, Parrish struck out Pedro Pages to end the threat.

In the 6th inning, Mendoza hit his second home run of the game, another shot that was gone as soon as it left the bat to right field. The 16th of the year for the junior pushed FSU’s lead to 8-3. It was Mendoza’s third multi-homer game of 2019 and his 16 bombs are the most by a Seminole since Mike McGee hit 17 in 2010.

The Owls once again applied pressure as they added two runs in the bottom of the inning to cut the lead to 8-5. Chase Haney and Antonio Velez did a good job of limiting the damage after coming into the game for Parrish, with the bases loaded and 0 outs.

Velez finished with 3.1 innings of relief work, giving up just two runs on one hit, while walking one and striking out three on 43 pitches for his first career save.

Every time FAU threatened to get back into the game, the hot-hitting FSU lineup responded.

The 7th inning was no different as Becker joined Mendoza in hitting his second homer of the afternoon, a two-run drifter to centerfield that just cleared the wall to extend the lead to 10-5.

“That was surreal,” Becker said. “This (big game) will probably sink in tomorrow, but I was just trying to not do too much and keep my swing short.”

The Owls, the regular season champs of Conference USA, would not go away as they scored two more runs in the bottom of the inning with Morgensen hitting his second home run of the game, a two-run blast, cutting the lead to 10-7.

In the 9th, the Noles added three big insurance runs thanks to a two-run home run to center field from Reese Albert, his 6th of the season, and another run via an error by the Owls that scored Mendoza.

Velez retired the side in order for the final three outs and Florida State improved to 37-21 on the season, moving into Saturday night’s winner’s bracket game.

CJ Van Eyk (9-3, 3.74 ERA) is scheduled to start for FSU on the mound.

Van Eyk, Noles Reach Regional Finals.
Offense provides 12 runs of support on 15 hits.

By Ariya Massoudi, Seminoles.com

ATHENS, Ga. – In an ACC-SEC showdown at Foley Field, Florida State (38-21) scored early and often against No. 4 national seed Georgia (45-16), winning 12-3 in front of 3,046 fans. The win moves the Seminoles to the regional finals against either Georgia or Florida Atlantic.

CJ Van Eyk (10-3) rallied from a leadoff home run from Tucker Maxwell and threw eight innings and struck out nine Bulldogs. He did not allow a walk and gave up just two more runs against a potent Georgia offense.

Van Eyk was helped by a Seminole team that pounded out 15 hits and 12 runs against a Bulldog staff that entered with a team earned run average of 3.09. In the regional, FSU has 25 runs on 35 hits against the Owls and Bulldogs.

Nander De Sedas, Carter Smith and Tim Becker, FSU’s 7-8-9 hitters, combined to go 7-for-11 with six runs scored and nine RBI. Emerson Hancock (8-3), Georgia’s ace, allowed a season high five runs and nine hits in just 4.0 innings.

After Georgia took a 2-0 lead in the top of the third, the Noles responded in the bottom of 3rd inning as the legend of Tim Becker continued.

The former FSU Club Baseball player hit his third home run of the regional (and career), a solo shot to right-center field, to get FSU on the board.

Mike Salvatore and Reese Albert each singled to continue the inning. With one out, Robby Martin hit a long fly ball to the wall in right-center field to bring home Salvatore from third and tie the game at 2-2.

The Seminoles took control of the game in the 4th inning as J.C. Flowers doubled to right-center field and moved to third on a wild pitch. He then scored on a bloop single from De Sedas to give the Noles a 3-2 advantage. After a Smith double put runners on 2nd and 3rd, Becker delivered again.

The senior hammered a Hancock fastball up the middle for a two-run single, extending the lead to 5-2 for FSU.

The very next inning in the 5th, the Noles loaded the bases with back-to-back singles from Mendoza and Martin, followed by a walk to Flowers.

That’s when O’Canada worked its magic and the Noles poured it on.

De Sedas singled through the left side, scoring two runs. Then, Smith unloaded on a 3-1 offering, hitting it high off the scoreboard in right field, to extend the lead to 10-2. For Smith it was his second career homer as a Seminole.

FSU continued its onslaught in the 7th inning as Becker walked and Salvatore drove his seventh home run of the season, clearing the pine trees in left field, giving the visitors a 12-2 lead.

The Bulldogs added a late run in the eighth inning off Van Eyk before Clayton Kwiatkowski struck out two batters in a perfect ninth inning.

Florida State moves to 38-21 in 2019 and more importantly advances to the winner’s bracket, now fully in control of their destiny.

Grady, Salvatore Lead FSU to Super Regionals.
Noles beat No. 4 national seed Georgia 10-1 to advance.

ATHENS, Ga. – From the “last four in” to the first team advancing to Super Regionals, Florida State (39-21) routed No. 4 national seed Georgia (46-17) for a second straight night, 10-1, winning the Athens Regional in grand style.

Behind Regional MVP Mike Salvatore’s two hits, including his 22nd double of the season, FSU pounded Georgia’s pitchers to the tune of 10 hits and drew seven walks, while the Bulldogs normally strong defense committed a season-high three errors.

Salvatore, Reese Albert and Drew Mendoza combined for six hits, seven runs scored and six RBI with three doubles and a home run at the top of the Seminole lineup.

On the mound, Conor Grady (9-5) twirled the best game of the his Seminole career, tying a career-high with seven innings pitched, allowing just six hits and a run and striking out three batters.

The Seminoles picked up right where they left off on Saturday night as Salvatore ripped the second pitch of the game into left field for a single.

Albert followed and drove a Cole Wilcox (3-2) offering the opposite way over the wall in left field for a two-run shot, giving FSU the early 2-0 lead. For Albert it was his seventh blast of the season and second of the Athens Regional.

In the 3rd inning, the Seminoles added to their lead as Albert walked and Mendoza doubled off the glove of the third baseman. On the play, the ball was thrown away back into the infield, allowing Albert to score and Mendoza to race to third. Two batters later, Mat Nelson grounded out to bring Mendoza home and make it 4-0 for FSU.

FSU added another run in the fourth inning after both Tim Becker and Salvatore worked walks with two outs. Albert was the hero again in the frame as he delivered an RBI single up the middle extending the lead to 5-0.

In the 6th inning, the Seminoles kept flexing their bats as Nander De Sedas reached on an error and Carter Smith singled to right field. With one out, Salvatore displayed his veteran leadership with a double to the gap in left-center scoring both runners.

With a 7-0 lead, Mendoza continued the onslaught as he doubled to right-center field to score Salvatore and Martin followed with a single to center field to score Mendoza, pushing the FSU lead to 9-0.

In the bottom of the inning Tucker Maxwell hit a solo home run to right field to put the Bulldogs on the board against Grady.

The Seminoles added another run for good measure in the 8th inning as Robby Martin hit a sacrifice fly to right field, scoring Salvatore and pushing the lead to 10-1.

Nander De Sedas added two hits in the seven-hole for Florida State and had six for the regional. Six Noles, led by Salvatore’s .643 average, hit .385 or better for the weekend.

Albert, Bullpen Lead Noles Past LSU.
FSU reaches 40 wins; one win from Omaha.

By Ariya Massoudi, Seminoles.com

BATON ROUGE, La. – One win away from Omaha.

In front of 11,636 fans at Alex Box Stadium, Florida State (40-21) fiercely rallied in the latter innings to knock off No. 13 National Seed LSU (40-25) 6-4.

“If it sounds corny, I don’t care. This team cares about each other,” Mike Martin said when asked how his squad was able to make the comeback. “We don’t worry about what other people say and that’s what makes us proud to be Seminoles.”

Falling behind 4-0 after five innings without recording a hit, the Noles scored in each of the final four innings against four Tiger relievers. Reese Albert hit a pair of home runs Saturday, the first a mammoth shot that tied the game in the seventh inning and the second, in the ninth inning, providing an insurance run.

Behind Drew Parrish, the Seminole bullpen was stellar, allowing just two hits and two walks in 4.1 innings. Antonio Velez (4-2) earned the win, pitching the seventh inning, while J.C. Flowers earned his 12th save and just his third that went 2.0 innings.

For much of the contest, the Tigers seemed to be in full control behind a raucous home crowd and strong pitching from a slew of bullpen arms.

The Tigers struck first in the 2nd inning, as Parrish hit a batter and walked another.

After both runners advanced on a passed ball, Brandt Broussard blooped a single into center field to score a run and give LSU a 1-0 lead. With the pressure mounting, Parrish was able to strike out Hal Hughes looking to strand runners on 2nd and 3rd and retire the side.

Cole Henry, the Tigers’ starting pitcher, lasted just two innings experiencing some elbow soreness, causing the Tigers to turn to their bullpen earlier than anticipated. He allowed three walks and struck out three batters in his brief outing.

LSU added to their lead in the 3rd inning as Josh Smith doubled to right field and came around to score on a pair of groundouts, to make it 2-0. The following inning, the Tigers pushed another run across after a double and RBI single gave the Tigers a 3-0 lead with four frames complete.

In the 5th inning, the Tigers scored for the fourth consecutive frame after a pair of base hits put runners on 1st and 2nd and one out. A line drive through the right side of the infield by Daniel Cabrera gave LSU a 4-0 lead off Parrish.

The lefty finished his outing going four and two-thirds innings, giving up six hits and three earned runs. Parrish walked one and struck out four batters on 81 pitches. Chase Haney retired the final batter of the fifth and threw a scoreless sixth inning.

The Seminoles had a tough time early on against the home side as they were no-hit through five frames.

In the top of the 6th inning the tide turned for the visitors. Drew Mendoza walked and Robby Martin gave FSU its first hit of the game to put runners at first and third. A Matheu Nelson infield single cut the LSU lead to 4-1.

With Haney and Velez calming the waters on the mound, the Seminole offense kicked into high gear in the 7th inning. Tim Becker singled to right and Mike Salvatore walked, bringing up Albert with one out. On the 11th pitch of the at-bat, the sophomore tied the ball game up with one swing of the stick.

He took a 92 MPH offering from Trent Vietmeier way out of the park in right, clearing the stands to make it 4-4.

“I knew I was getting a fastball,” Albert said of his no-doubter. “He just gave me a pitch I could do damage with and that was it.”

“That at-bat was huge, he fouled some pitches off,” LSU coach Paul Mainieri said after the game. “He battled hard and got around on one.”

In the 8th inning, FSU loaded the bases with one out after a walk to Nelson, a Nander De Sedas single and another walk to Smith. Becker continued his hot post-season as he drove a sacrifice fly to left field, bringing Nelson home to give the Noles their first lead of the game at 5-4. The loss was charged to Devin Fontenot (5-3).

Needing an insurance run in the top of the 9th inning, Albert did it again.

He took the first pitch he saw from Zack Hess and deposited the ball just over the wall in right field for a solo shot. The sophomore’s second blast of the game gave FSU a 6-4 lead.

In the bottom of the inning, LSU got two on with two out after a single and a walk with Flowers on the mound for the Seminoles. With the legendary Alex Box Stadium as loud as it was all afternoon, Flowers forced the all-time LSU hits leader in Antione Duplantis to pop up. Nelson squeezed it behind home plate and FSU found itself victorious in game one of the Baton Rouge Super Regional.

“It was nerve-wracking, but a lot of fun,” Flowers said on pitching in the environment. “I hope I get to do it again.”

“We know nothing is decided,” Mike Martin added on his team’s approach to the rest of the weekend. “We know we have to play well against a team with its back to the wall.”

We’re Going Back! Walk-Off Sends Noles to Omaha.
Mendoza’s 12th inning single leads to 23rd CWS appearance.

By Ariya Massoudi, Seminoles.com

BATON ROUGE, La. – See you in Omaha!

Mike Martin’s favorite four words came to life as Florida State (41-21) defeated No. 13 National Seed LSU (40-26) 5-4 in a thrilling 12-inning game, punching the Seminoles ticket back to the College World Series for the 23rd time in school history.

Before Drew Mendoza’s walk-off single scored Mike Salvatore from second base, both teams got brilliant performances from its bullpens in the four hour, 13 minute affair. Antonio Velez (5-2) earned his second win of the Super Regional, striking out 6 batters in 4.2 innings without allowing a run. Devin Fontenot (5-4) struck out 11 in 6.1 innings and gave up just two hits – 12th inning singles to Salvatore and Mendoza.

The win guarantees that Martin will wrap his 40-year career in Omaha, his 17th appearance in the College World Series.

“Unbelievable. I don’t think anyone in this room, let alone this country would have put us in this place right now (into Omaha),” Drew Mendoza said following the game.

“We are all blessed, it’s been an incredible ride. We have always believed in each other and we just got on a roll and are going to keep it going.”

In a reversal from game one of the series, when FSU had to rally in the later innings to knock off the Tigers, FSU jumped to a 3-0 led in the second inning and a 4-1 through five innings before LSU clawed back.

In the 2nd inning the Seminoles got the scoring started as they loaded the bases after a walk to Robby Martin, a bunt single from J.C. Flowers, and a single up the middle from Carter Smith with nobody out.

Nander De Sedas got the Seminoles on the board as he grounded out to first. The return throw home was not held on to by the catcher, allowing Martin to score safely to give FSU a 1-0 lead against Landon Marceaux.

Later in the inning, Mat Nelson ripped a single to left field scoring Flowers and Salvatore, followed by a bloop single into center field scoring Smith, as FSU extended the lead to 3-0.

LSU cut into the FSU lead in the 4th inning with a solo home run from Antoine Duplantis off CJ Van Eyk down the right field line. The ball appeared to curl foul before passing the foul pole, but the call was upheld on review to make it 3-1.

Duplantis finished 4-for-6 Sunday with a pair of singles, a double and a home run. He is the Southeastern Conference’s all-time leader in hits with 359.

In the bottom of the inning, the Seminoles answered back as Nelson singled and advanced to second on a wild pitch. Tim Becker did what he’s done all post-season and brought Nelson home with a scorching double to left field, giving FSU a 4-1 lead.

In the 6th inning, LSU scratched another run across after three straight singles to make it 4-2. Van Eyk buckled down and was able to limit the damage to get out of the inning with the Noles up a pair. Nelson picked off Giovanni DiGiacomo at third base to help limit the damage to just one run in the frame.

In the 8th inning, the Tigers were able to push two runs across with RBI singles from Duplantis and Zach Watson to tie the game at 4-4 against Van Eyk. Watson was out at second base on his game-tying single, again helping thwart more LSU runs.

Neither team could muster the go-ahead run as the game went into extra innings and the Seminoles brought Velez in.

The lefty was nearly untouchable in four and two-thirds innings of relief. The junior gave up just four hits and no runs, while striking out six batters on 64 total pitches.

In the bottom of the 12th inning, Salvatore laced a one-out single to center field and advanced to second on a wild pitch.

After a strikeout by Reese Albert, Mendoza ripped a two-strike offering from Fontenot into right-center field to clinch the game as the Seminoles are headed to Omaha for the 23rd time in school history.

Parrish, Noles Win 1-0 Pitchers Duel in CWS Opener.
Junior LHP struck out 9 in 8 IP; Noles score winning run in the ninth.

By Ariya Massoudi, Seminoles.com

OMAHA, Neb. – For the first time since 1999, Florida State (42-21) won its first game of the College World Series, defeating No. 5 national seed Arkansas (46-19) 1-0 in a pitcher’s duel.

Drew Parrish (9-5) and Isaiah Campbell went toe-to-toe on the rubber all night as both aces had their best stuff rolling at TD Ameritrade Park in front 26,155 fans.

Parrish struck out nine hitters in eight innings pitched, tying a season high for innings and working out of trouble multiple times in the game. Campbell struck out 10 batters in seven innings for the Razorbacks, but FSU scored the game-winning run in the top of the ninth inning against reliever Cody Scroggins (3-1).

J.C. Flowers started in centerfield for the Noles, snagging a highlight-reel catch against the wall in the second inning; he was hit by a pitch in the ninth inning and scored the go-ahead run on a sacrifice fly; and pitched a perfect bottom of the ninth, his 13th save of the season.

In the top of the 2nd inning, Flowers and Mat Nelson both singled to give the Seminoles a pair of runners with just one out in the inning. However, Campbell struck out Nander De Sedas and Tim Becker to end the inning.

The Seminoles got runners on base in each of the first six innings, but each time Campbell shut the door on FSU. The second-round MLB draft pick exited after seven innings and 101 pitches.

Parrish wouldn’t be outdone as the lefty had perhaps the best outing of his career, given the stage. The lefty went eight innings of his own, giving up just five hits and no runs while striking out nine Razorbacks on the night.

“He was really tough, he had everything working on us,” Arkansas first basemen Trevor Ezell said on Parrish. “His off-speed was really good and you just have to tip your cap.”

In the bottom of the 8th inning, Christian Franklin doubled to right field and advanced to third base on a groundout. Parrish buckled down and got Casey Martin and Matt Goodheart to each strikeout with changeups to escape the jam.

“I’d say it’s one of the best performances of my life for sure,” Parrish said smiling after the game.

“Every kid dreams of pitching at the College World Series so this definitely ranks up there.”

In the top of the 9th inning, Flowers was hit by a pitch to start the frame and Carter Smith reached on a fielder’s choice after the ball was dislodged on a tag attempt from Martin to Flowers running to second base.

A sacrifice bunt from Nelson pushed both runners into scoring position, before De Sedas had one of the biggest plate appearances of his young Seminole career.

On the first pitch he saw from Arkansas’ flame-throwing closer, Matt Cronin, the freshman lifted the ball into right field. Flowers beat the throw home after the catch to give De Sedas a sac fly and score the only run of the game.

“This is a dream, you know. To play in Omaha at the College World Series,” De Sedas said after the game.

“As a kid you dream of having the game-winning RBI, this is just a crazy, cool experience. It’s emotional.”

Flowers entered to close the game as he recorded a groundout, a soft lineout and then struck out Jack Kenley to get his 13th save of the season and push the Noles into the winner’s bracket.

The win gives FSU a six-game winning streak in the NCAA Tournament, tying a school record. Five of those wins have come against SEC programs. The shutout is the Seminoles fifth all-time in the College World Series and first since 1987.

Noles Drop CWS Game vs. Michigan.
Pitching gets 17 strikeouts, second-most in 9-inning CWS game.

By Ariya Massoudi, Seminoles.com

OMAHA, Neb. – Florida State (42-22) saw a complete game shutout from Tommy Henry Monday, falling 2-0 to Michigan (48-20) in the winner’s bracket game of the College World Series at TD Ameritrade Park.

“Our mentality isn’t going to change, we’ve had our backs against the wall all season,” third baseman Drew Mendoza said.

“We will be ready to go on Wednesday and get to play another day.”

Henry was dominant all night for the Wolverines, striking out 10 Seminoles and allowing just three hits, tied for FSU’s fewest in 75 College World Series games. FSU had two batters hit by a pitch and did not draw a walk for just the second time this season.

In the top of the first inning, the Wolverines struck first as Jesse Franklin homered to right field on a first pitch fastball from CJ Van Eyk (10-4) to give Michigan a 1-0 lead.

The Seminoles were quieted offensively for much of the game by Henry who gave up just one hit through the first four innings, a Mike Salvatore double to start the game. Henry retired the next 12 batters and did not give up another hit until Mat Nelson’s double with two outs in the seventh inning.

In the 5th inning, Michigan added to their lead as three singles in the inning brought home the second run of the game against Van Eyk to make it 2-0.

Van Eyk lasted 4.2 innings, giving up seven hits and two earned runs on the night. The sophomore walked two and struck out nine batters.

The Seminoles got single runners on base via hit-by-pitches in the bottom of the 5th and 6th innings, but weren’t able to do anything else as Henry continued to shut the door.

“He was mixing his pitches and keeping the ball at the knees all night,” Mendoza said of Henry. “He kept us off-balance and did a really good job, he deserves credit.”

Chase Haney and Jonah Scolaro were brilliant bright spots during the game in relief, giving up no hits, while striking out eight batters in a combined 4.1 innings. Overall, FSU’s pitching staff has given up just two runs in 18 innings at the College World Series.

“They’ve been giving us that lift all post-season, it’s been awesome,” Mendoza said. “They’ve given us a chance every time.

TEAM NOTES:

PLAYER NOTES:
  • For the third time this season, CJ Van Eyk allowed a home run on the second pitch of a game. The first two times were leadoff home runs against Clemson and Georgia; FSU won those games 16-2 and 12-3, respectively.
  • Mike Salvatore had two of FSU’s three hits, including a leadoff double. Salvatore’s 23 doubles are the most for a Seminole since John Sansone had 26 in 2016. His 89 hits on the year are tied for the most in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
  • Chase Haney and Jonah Scolaro combined for eight strikeouts and did not allow a hit in 4.1 innings out of the bullpen. In seven NCAA Tournament games, Haney, Scolaro, J.C. Flowers, Clayton Kwiatkowski and Antonio Velez have allowed just eight hits and two runs, with 23 strikeouts, in 21.1 innings out of the bullpen, good for a 0.84 earned run average.
  • Catcher Mat Nelson threw out his eighth base-stealer of the season. He also added a seventh inning double and has reached base in 11 straight games.

    Noles Season Ends vs. Texas Tech in Omaha.
    11 wraps 40-year career.

    By Ariya Massoudi, Seminoles.com

    OMAHA, Neb. – Florida State saw its season, and the Mike Martin era, come to an end on Wednesday night falling to Texas Tech 4-1 in a College World Series elimination game at TD Ameritrade Park. The Seminoles got another strong outing from its pitchers, but the offense managed just three hits for the second straight game.

    “This was a remarkable run, almost unbelievable,” Martin said smiling as he reminisced after the game. “What these guys accomplished and where we were in May, I’m so proud of them.”

    For Florida State, Conor Grady (9-6) allowed just two runs in five innings, striking out four. Texas Tech’s Bryce Bonnin (7-1) surrendered two hits and an unearned run, while reliever Taylor Floyd struck out eight in four relief innings.

    The Red Raiders struck first in the top of the 4th inning as a walk and a pair of singles gave TTU a 1-0 lead.

    In the bottom of the inning, Robby Martin walked and Matheu Nelson was hit by a pitch to start the frame. Both runners advanced on a sac bunt by Carter Smith. With one out, an errant pick-off attempt at second allowed Martin to score to tie the game at 1-1.

    In the 6th inning, the Red Raiders re-took the lead as Brian Klein hit a home run to right-center field off Grady for a 2-1 lead.

    Grady was strong in five innings of work giving up six hits and two earned runs. The sophomore walked two and struck out four batters on 81 pitches of work.

    The Noles could never find the big hit, finishing 0-for-18 with runners on base and 0-for-9 with runners in scoring position.

    Chase Haney, Antonio Velez and Jonah Scolaro combined to pitch four innings without allowing a hit and issued just two walks in relief. Closer J.C. Flowers gave up a pair of runs in the eighth inning.

    “I hope the guys don’t feel down because of a tough week,” Martin said. “I saw bunch of guys grow up in front of my eyes. There are a lot of teams who wish their season could end in Omaha.”
