Member of the FSU Hall of Fame
Elected into the FSU Hall of Fame in 1985
In 1970 and 1971 a tall, lefthander came out of the bullpen to make his mark as Florida State's greatest relief pitcher and one of the finest relievers in NCAA history. Mac Scarce, from Richmond, Virginia by way of Manatee J.C., was a vital force on the '70 Tribe, runner-up for the national championship. His brilliant 7 innings of relief in the NCAA finals stands as one the finest moments in Seminole diamond annals. Scarce had 30 saves over the '70-'71 seasons and 18 in '71 alone, career and season records for FSU and the NCAA. In 1970 he gave up only 13 hits in 33 relief innings, a school record. Mac was co-captain of the '71 Seminoles. After leaving Florida State, Scarce pitched for the Phillies, Mets and Twins. His poise under pressure made Mac Scarce one of the major reasons for FSU's reputation over the years as a perennial baseball power.
