North Florida 7, Florida State 4
02/20/2021, Tallahassee, Fla.
Noles Fall on Opening Day, 7-4.
Nelson hits eighth career home run.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Florida State baseball dropped its season opener Saturday, falling to visiting North Florida 7-4 at Dick Howser Stadium. Sophomore catcher Mat Nelson hit a three-run home run, but the Ospreys never looked back after taking a 6-0 lead in the third inning.
Parker Messick (0-1) allowed five runs on four hits in his first career start for the Seminoles. Max McKinley (1-0) pitched the middle three innings for the Ospreys, allowing a run on four hits and two walks.
North Florida scored six runs in the third inning, with a leadoff home run from Tanner Clark pacing the Ospreys inning. In relief of Messick, FSU's bullpen (Jack Anderson, Clayton Kwiatkowski, Davis Hare and Chase Haney) threw 6.2 innings and allowed just one earned run.
In the bottom of the third inning, Nelson launched a three-run home run that cut the Seminole deficit in half. It was his eighth career home run. Leadoff hitter Tyler Martin reached base in all five plate appearances, with two singles and three walks. His RBI single in the fourth inning scored Jackson Greene.
Sophomore Nander De Sedas, batting exclusively from the right side this season, doubled and singled in his first two at-bats.
The Noles drew 10 walks, including three in the ninth inning with no outs, but could not bring any runners home after a pair of strikeouts and a groundout ended the game.
After the second inning, former Florida State head coach Mike Martin was honored with his jersey number displayed in left field. The No. 11, worn for 46 years by the winningest coach in college baseball history, is being worn on the field by sixth-year senior captain Chase Haney in 2021. Haney pitched two scoreless innings to close out the game for the Seminoles and ranks fifth in school history with 108 career pitching appearances.

Pitt Wins Pitching Duel, 1-0.
Messick strikes out career-high nine
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Pittsburgh beat No. 24 Florida State 1-0 Friday night in a classic pitchers' duel at Dick Howser Stadium. Parker Messick struck out a career-high nine batters, but FSU hitters could not find the timely hit throughout the night as Pitt improved to 4-1 on the season.
FSU fell to 2-2 on the year. It was the ACC opener for both teams.
Messick (0-2) struck out nine batters in five innings, but two doubles to Ron Washington and Bryce Hulett in the fourth inning provided all the scoring that Pitt would need. The Florida State bullpen was stellar as well Friday, combining to allow just four baserunners (two hits, two walks) in four innings.
Mitch Myers (1-1) struck out 13 batters and allowed two hits in 6.0 innings. FSU finished with four hits on the night.
Jordan McCrum earned his first save of the season, pitching the final 1.2 innings. He worked around three walks and a hit to strand five total runners over the eighth and ninth innings.
Shortstop Nander De Sedas doubled to start the eighth inning, his second of the season. He advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt from Jackson Greene, but was stranded after an inning-ending strikeout. In the ninth, Dylan Simmons singled, pinch runner Cooper Swanson stole second and third and De Sedas walked before another inning-ending strikeout.
Washington had three of Pitt's five hits.
Clayton Kwiatkowski pitched 2.0 scoreless innings without allowing a hit and forced a double play. Hunter Perdue made his first appearance as a Seminole after battling back from surgery, reaching 98 on the radar gun with a strikeout and one hit allowed in one inning. Jonah Scolaro and Chase Haney combined on a scoreless ninth inning.
In the ninth, with Pitt looking to extend its lead, Jordan Anderson singled off Haney, but Robby Martin threw out Riley Wash at the plate to end the inning. It was FSU's first outfield assist of the season.

Pitt Clinches Series with 7-2 Win.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Florida State (2-3, 0-2 ACC) fell for the second straight game to Pitt (5-1, 2-0), dropping Saturday's game at Dick Howser Stadium 7-2 in front of 1,605. Pitt's Matt Gilbertson (2-0) struck out 10 batters in six innings, and the Panther bullpen struck out six over the final three frames.
The Seminole bats were livelier than in the series opener, a 1-0 loss, notching 10 hits Saturday evening. FSU's two runs came on Reese Albert's double off the top of the centerfield wall, a play that was originally scored a three-run home run.
Carson Montgomery (0-1) lasted just one inning, walking three and allowing a hit. Both runs against him were unearned.
Pitt led 7-0 before Albert's two-run double in the eighth inning.
Wyatt Crowell and Andrew Armstrong made their first appearances on the mound for the Seminoles. Crowell entered in relief of Montgomery and struck out a batter in 1.2 innings, allowing one unearned run. He also picked off a runner at first base, the first pick off for a Seminole pitcher this season. Armstrong struck out a batter in 0.1 innings pitched.
Pitt scored three unearned runs in the second inning. A throwing error allowed the first run to score, then Kyle Hess hit a two-run single through the right side that pushed the Pitt lead to 3-0.
Nico Popa hit a two-run home run in the fourth inning that gave Pitt a 5-0 advantage. The Panthers added runs in the sixth and eighth innings.
Catcher Mat Nelson threw out Bryce Hulett trying to steal in the fifth inning, the second runner he has thrown out in five games. Nelson added two hits at the plate, joining Albert, Elijah Cabell and Logan Lacey with a pair of hits Saturday.
Relief pitcher Tyler Ahearn threw 2.1 innings and tied a career-high with five strikeouts. As a unit, FSU struck out 12 Pitt batters.

Noles Fall in Series Finale to Pitt.
Cabell launches 489-foot HR.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Florida State (2-4, 0-3 ACC) could not hold a two-run lead in the ninth inning, eventually falling to Pitt (6-1, 3-0) 9-7 in 13 innings Sunday evening at Dick Howser Stadium.
Elijah Cabell and Mat Nelson each hit two-run home runs as FSU built its lead to 7-3 in the sixth inning, but the Panthers hit a two-run double in the seventh and a game-tying two-run home run in the ninth inning to force extra innings.
Cabell's blast traveled 489 feet to center field. It was his first of the season after missing opening weekend due to injury. Nelson's home run was his team-high third of the year.
Bryce Hubbart (1-1) was tagged with the loss for FSU but was solid out of the bullpen, setting career-highs with 4.1 innings pitched and nine strikeouts. His only two hits allowed came in the 13th inning.
Pitt used 10 pitchers in the victory, with Chase Smith getting the win. Jordan McCrum earned his second save of the series.
Cabell was the only Seminole with two hits, but FSU earned 12 walks and was hit by three pitches to consistently have guys on base. The Seminoles were 0-for-15 with two outs.

Messick Dominates in Shutout of No. 16 Virginia.
Career-highs with 8.0 IP, 11 K's.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Redshirt freshman Parker Messick pitched a career-high 8.0 innings Friday and struck out 11 batters as FSU beat No. 16 Virginia 2-0 at Dick Howser Stadium. The Seminoles (3-4, 1-3 ACC) got a pair of runs in the third inning against the Cavaliers (5-4, 1-3 ACC) as both teams combined for just seven hits and 29 strikeouts in the pitching duel.
Hunter Perdue worked around a one-out single in the ninth inning to earn his first career save.
Messick (1-2) was strong throughout the night for the Seminoles, notching perfect innings with four total strikeouts over the seventh and eighth frames. Energetic all night, Messick exited to a roar from the crowd of 1,422 after 114 pitches.
The Cavaliers did not have a runner reach third base all night. In the fifth, Logan Michaels hit a one-out double and Chris Newell reached on a hit by pitch, but Alex Tappen grounded out to Logan Lacey at third base, starting a 5-4-3 double play that ended the inning.
In the sixth inning, Virginia had two runners on base after a pair of singles, but popups to shortstop and first base ended the inning and the threat. Messick did not allow another baserunner.
In the ninth, Perdue, pitching for just the third time as a Seminole after missing last season with Tommy John surgery, hit 96 on the radar gun and worked around a one-out single, Virginia's fourth hit of the night. With two outs, designated hitter Kyle Teel hit a rocket off Perdue's back, but the redshirt junior regrouped and threw to first base to end the ballgame.
The shutout was FSU's first of 2021 and first since a similar 2-0 win against No. 1 Florida in 2020. Virginia was the first ranked opponent Florida State played this season.
For Messick, his 11 strikeouts were the most for a Seminole since CJ Van Eyk struck out 11 in the ACC Tournament in 2019 against NC State. His 8.0 innings pitched were the most for a Nole since Drew Parrish pitched 8.0 innings in the College World Series against Arkansas later that same season.
FSU's two runs against Abbott (1-2) came in the third inning, when Tyler Martin and Mat Nelson reached on two-out walks. They scored on Robby Martin's RBI single to centerfield, paired with a fielding error that allowed Nelson to score.
The Martin's combined for all three hits against the Cavaliers, with Tyler Martin singling to lead off the game and adding another hit in the eighth inning against reliever Zach Messinger.

Noles Clinch Series vs. No. 16 Virginia.
Hubbart: 6.0 IP, 1 H, 6 K.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Behind six innings of one-hit baseball from Bryce Hubbart, Florida State (4-4, 2-3 ACC) clinched the series over No. 16 Virginia (5-5, 1-4 ACC) with a 9-4 win at Dick Howser Stadium Saturday afternoon. The Seminoles scored all nine runs between the third and sixth innings with nine hits and nine walks drawn.
Hubbart (2-1) was making his first start of the season and made his longest outing as a Seminole. Zack Gelof singled in the first inning, but the Cavaliers did not record another hit against the freshman lefthander, settling for two walks over the next five innings. Hubbart and Parker Messick, FSU's Friday night starter, combined to allow just four hits and strike out 17 in 14.0 innings pitched against Virginia.
Florida State led 9-0 through six innings before Virginia put up a four-spot in the seventh against the Seminole bullpen. All four runs that inning were unearned.
FSU scored five runs against Virginia starter Griff McGarry (0-2), including two in the third inning that started the scoring. The Noles drew four walks and Robby Martin had a sacrifice fly for a 2-0 lead.
The bats came alive in the fourth inning when FSU scored five runs on four hits. Garrett Mathes made his first appearance as a Seminole and singled, followed by a bases loaded double from Nander De Sedas that scored two runs. Freshman Vince Smith followed with an RBI double, Tyler Martin had an RBI groundout and Mat Nelson singled to push FSU's lead to 7-0.
Jackson Greene entered in relief of Logan Lacey and had an infield RBI single in the fifth inning. Greene walked with the bases loaded in the sixth inning for FSU's final run.
Virginia's scoring in the seventh inning came after the Noles misplayed a ball in the outfield that eventually led to four unearned runs. In total, FSU pitching has not allowed an earned run in the first 18 innings of the series against the Cavaliers.
Reese Albert had two hits, while De Sedas, Greene and Nelson each had two RBI.

Grady Shines But FSU Drops Series Finale.
Noles retired final 19 Virginia batters
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Florida State (4-5, 2-4 ACC) got a strong start from pitcher Conor Grady, but the Seminoles could not find the clutch hit late as they fell to No. 16 Virginia (6-5, 2-4) 2-1 Sunday afternoon at Dick Howser Stadium. Grady (1-1) and reliever Wyatt Crowell combined to retire the final 19 Cavalier hitters.
Brendan Rivoli had both of Virginia's RBI Sunday, with a bloop double in the first inning that scored Nic Kent and a single in the third that scored Max Cotier. The Seminoles did not allow another baserunner, with Grady retiring 13 straight and Crowell pitching a perfect eighth and ninth inning. The two combined for 13 strikeouts and did not walk a batter.
Grady tied his career high with 7.0 innings pitched. His nine strikeouts are a season high.
Florida State had chances late in the game, stranding nine total runners over the final four innings. Mike Vasil (3-0) allowed three hits and one run, his first earned run of the season, in the seventh inning. Garrett Mathes singled and then three walks allowed pinch runner Isaiah Perry to score and cut the lead to 2-1. Stephen Schoch pitched the final 2.1 innings for his fourth save of the season.
FSU had a great opportunity in the eighth inning with the bases loaded and no outs after two walks and a throwing error on a sacrifice bunt. After pinch hitter Casey Asman struck out, Nander De Sedas dropped a bunt down the first base line that Devin Ortiz scooped and flipped to catcher Logan Michaels in time to get the lead runner. Vince Smith struck out to end the threat.
In the ninth, Tyler Martin doubled off the right field wall but was stranded when Robby Martin grounded out to end the game.
The Seminoles drew seven walks to go along with four hits.

Noles Rally to Win Road Opener at No. 18 Virginia Tech.
Lacey's pinch-hit, 2-R HR gives FSU lead in eighth inning.
BLACKSBURG, Va. - Florida State (5-5, 3-4 ACC) scored all six runs over the last four innings to top No. 18 Virginia Tech, 6-4, at English Field Friday afternoon. Pinch-hitter Logan Lacey hit a go-ahead two-run home run in the Noles' three-run eighth inning.
The Hokies (8-4, 4-3) led 3-0 through five innings against starting pitcher Parker Messick. Messick struck out seven batters and really settled down after a shaky first inning that included Gavin Cross' solo home run.
The Noles chipped away late in the game, scoring in the sixth inning on Robby Martin's RBI single. Reese Albert led off the seventh inning with a solo home run, his second of the year, to cut the deficit to 3-2.
FSU's three-run eighth inning started with Mat Nelson's double before Lacey pinch-hit for Elijah Cabell. The home run was the second of his Seminole career and put FSU on top 4-3. FSU added an insurance run on Ryan Romano's first career hit as a Seminole later in the eighth.
Chase Haney (1-0) earned the win by pitching into the bottom of the eighth inning. Virginia Tech cut the FSU lead to 5-4 on a home run from Kevin Madden, but Jonah Scolaro and Hunter Perdue combined to keep the lead in the eighth inning.
Martin added a second RBI single in the top of the ninth to push FSU's lead back to 6-4.
Perdue allowed two singles in the bottom of the ninth before Davis Hare came in and struck out Tanner Schobel before Madden popped out to end the game.
Virginia Tech starting pitcher Peyton Alford allowed a run and struck out 10 in 5.2 innings pitched. Shane Connolly earned the loss with three earned runs in 1.2 innings pitched.

Martin, Montgomery Lead FSU Past No. 5 Florida.
Robby Martin hit 2 HR; Montgomery K's 9.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Robby Martin hit two home runs and had five RBI and freshman pitcher Carson Montgomery struck out nine batters in 4.2 innings, leading Florida State (7-6) past No. 5 Florida (13-5) 10-2 Tuesday night at Dick Howser Stadium. Catcher Mat Nelson added his team-high fifth home run and the FSU bullpen combined to allow just one hit in 4.1 innings of relief.
The win was the second straight for FSU over a Top 5 Florida team, beating the No. 1 Gators in Gainesville 2-0 last season. It is the Seminoles first win against Florida in Tallahassee since 2015.
Montgomery made his third start of the season and looked every bit the player that was the highest-rated recruit to reach campus this summer. The Windermere native struck out nine, allowed three walks and a pair of runs, both coming in his last inning of work. He exited the game one out shy of his first win as a Seminole.
As a staff, FSU struck out 16 Florida batters. Offensively, the Noles K'd just nine times.
Martin hit a three-run home run in the first inning, his second straight at-bat with a home run after hitting a grand slam in the ninth inning Sunday at Virginia Tech. He added a two-run home run in the sixth inning for his first career multi-home run game.
FSU added four more runs in the second inning against Garrett Milchin (1-1), who allowed eight hits and seven runs in 1.2 innings of work. Logan Lacey had three hits, including a two-run double in the second inning that made the score 5-0. Nelson followed with an RBI single and Parker Messick, in his second straight start as the designated hitter, followed with an RBI single to give FSU a 7-0 lead through two innings.
Left fielder Wyatt Crowell, a left-handed pitcher in the FSU bullpen, had a pair of hits including his first career double. Messick and Crowell have combined for eight hits in their two games batting this season.
After Florida cut the lead to 7-2, Chase Haney (2-0) entered and forced a groundball out to end the fifth inning. Kirby McMullen doubled off Haney in the sixth inning, but Haney, Hunter Perdue and Davis Hare did not allow another hit to lock up the win.
Martin's second home run, a two-run shot in the sixth inning, was followed by Nelson's team-high fifth home run. It was FSU's first back-to-back home runs of the year and Martin had five RBI for the second straight game.
Leadoff hitter Tyler Martin reached base in three of five plate appearances, with two hit-by-pitches and a walk. He entered the game second in the ACC with a .560 on-base percentage.
Twelve of FSU's 13 hits came from the 2-6 spots in the lineup, with Lacey and Martin each notching three while Nelson, Messick and Crowell had a pair.
FSU's 10 runs scored are their most against Florida since 2010 and it was the largest margin of victory for FSU in the series since 2008, also a 10-2 win.

Messick Leads Noles at Plate and on Mound in 13-1 Win at Miami.
Threw 6.2 innings, 10 K; 3 RBI as DH.
CORAL GABLES, Fla. - Starting pitcher and designated hitter Parker Messick led Florida State (8-6, 5-5 ACC) to a dominant 13-1 win over No. 6 Miami (9-5, 5-4) Friday night at Mark Light Field. On the mound, Messick (2-2) threw 6.2 innings, allowing a run on four hits with 10 strikeouts. At the plate, he tallied a career-high and team-best three RBI.
For the third straight game, Florida State's offense scored early and often, leading 8-0 after two innings and 11-0 after six. FSU's top four hitters in the lineup each had multiple hits, led by Robby Martin's three, including his first two doubles of the season, and four runs scored. Martin has 12 RBI and seven hits over the past three games.
Against No. 18 Virginia Tech on Sunday, the Noles scored four runs in the first inning of a 14-7 win. Tuesday against No. 5 Florida, FSU led 7-0 after two innings in a 10-2 win. Overall, the Noles are 6-2 against Top 20 opponents this year.
Miami starter Alejandro Rosario (2-1) allowed eight runs, all earned, in 1.1 innings pitched.
Logan Lacey started the scoring with an RBI double on the fifth pitch of the game, scoring Tyler Martin from first base. Robby Martin reached on a fielding error that scored Lacey and Messick recorded an RBI groundout for a 3-0 lead.
Miami had a chance to get one back in the bottom of the first, after Jordan Lala walked to start the game, but Adrian Del Castillo's double was fielded perfectly by Wyatt Crowell in left field, which started the 7-6-2 assist to nab Lala at the plate and end the inning.
The Hurricanes did not have another runner reach third base until scoring its lone run in the seventh inning.
FSU added five more runs in the fifth inning on a wild pitch, Lacey's RBI single, Messick's two-run single and Crowell's sacrifice fly.
In the sixth, Robby Martin scored two on a double and Nelson singled in Martin for an 11-0 lead. After Miami scored on a Chase Haney wild pitch in the bottom of the seventh, pinch hitter Elijah Cabell's single scored two runs to provide the final margin.
Relievers Tyler Ahearn and Ross Dunn each pitched a scoreless inning to close the game.
The win was FSU's largest in the series since a 16-1 win in 2006.

Noles Cap Dominant Series Sweep at No. 6 Miami.
12-0 win Sunday; outscored UM 34-2 in three-game sweep.
CORAL GABLES, Fla. - Florida State capped a dominant weekend sweep at No. 6 Miami Sunday, winning the series finale 12-0 and outscoring the Hurricanes 34-2 on the weekend. Four Seminoles hit home runs and Conor Grady (3-1) earned his second-straight win.
The Seminoles (10-6, 7-5 ACC) have won five straight games, all against Top 20 opponents. The last four have come against in-state rivals No. 5 Florida and Miami (9-7, 5-6). On the year, FSU is 8-2 against ranked teams.
The series win was FSU's first sweep of Miami since 2012 and the first at Miami since 2002.
Sunday, Logan Lacey finished a triple shy of the cycle and was replaced in the fourth inning with an undisclosed injury. He doubled in the first inning and scored on Robby Martin's single. The duo hit back-to-back home runs in the third inning for a 3-0 lead before FSU posted a 7-spot in the fourth inning, punctuated by Mat Nelson's team-high seventh home run and fourth in the past five games.
FSU tacked on a run in the fifth inning on Nander De Sedas's second home run of the year. Tyler Martin's single in the seventh provided the final margin.
Grady was stellar on the mound, striking out seven batters and allowing just one walk in 5.0 innings. He improved to 3-1 on the year and leads FSU with 18 career victories.
Jonah Scolaro, Brandon Walker, Hunter Perdue and Davis Hare each pitched a scoreless inning, allowing two hits and striking out five.
For the series, Robby Martin hit 8-for-15 with three doubles and a home run; Nelson hit 6-for-12 with a double and two home runs; and Lacey hit 6-for-14 with two doubles and a home run. Robby Martin and Nelson combined for 14 hits, one more than Miami mustered in 27 innings.
The Hurricanes struck out 34 times and drew just six walks against the FSU pitching staff. Grady, Parker Messick and Bryce Hubbart led FSU to a 0.67 earned run average and .140 batting average against. FSU hit .328 as a team.
Also significant in the series was FSU's perfect defense, not recording an error all weekend. In comparison, Miami had eight that led to 10 unearned runs.

Walk-Off Walk Pushes Win Streak to 6.
Tyler Martin, Nelson homer; pitchers K 18.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - No. 17 Florida State, back in the rankings after a sweep of in-state rivals Florida and Miami, extended its win streak to six with a walk-off walk Wednesday against UCF. The Seminoles (11-6) were hit by two pitches and drew three walks to score a pair of runs in the bottom of the 10th against the Knights (9-11), who scored on a throwing error in the top of the inning.
Florida State's top three hitters fueled the Seminoles Wednesday, accounting for five of FSU's six hits, five RBI and five runs scored.
Leadoff hitter Tyler Martin was 3-for-4 with a walk and three runs scored. His fifth-inning home run came with two outs and was the first of his career. Catcher Mat Nelson, hitting in the two-hole, followed Martin's home run with his eighth of the year, tied for the most in the ACC. Nelson has a home run in five of the past six games and the Seminoles have hit back-to-back home runs three times in the past five games.
Nelson's infield fly pop up in the 10th inning, with the bases loaded, allowed Ryan Romano to score and tie the game at 5-5. Three batters later, Reese Albert drew a bases loaded walk for the win.
Carson Montgomery had half of FSU's 18 strikeouts, allowing a pair of runs with nine strikeouts in four innings. Six pitchers followed Montgomery, capped off by Hunter Perdue in the 10th to earn his first career win.
FSU has struck out at least 10 batters in 14 straight games, and has at least nine in all 17 games this season.
Robby Martin started the scoring with a two-run, two-out double in the third inning off UCF starter Kenny Serwa. The Knights responded in the next inning on Pablo Ruiz's two-run single that tied the score.
After Tyler Martin and Nelson's home runs in the fifth, UCF tied the game again in the eighth inning on an RBI single and groundout. Davis Hare worked around a runner on third with just one out to keep the game tied.
UCF took its first lead in the 10th inning on a throwing error from Nander De Sedas that allowed the lead runner to score. It snapped a span of 37 innings without an error.
Romano was hit by two pitches, the second starting off the 10th inning by reliever David Litchfield (2-2). Pinch hitter Elijah Cabell followed with a hit by pitch and Tyler Martin walked to load the bases for Nelson. His infield fly allowed Romano to score, Robby Martin was intentionally walked and Albert won the game on the bases loaded walk.
The three walks from UCF in the 10th inning were their first allowed of the game.

Late Runs Push Noles Past Wake in Pitcher's Duel.
FSU wins 2-1 behind 18 K's, Cabell's 2-R single.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - No. 17 Florida State (12-6, 8-5 ACC) won its seventh consecutive game Friday, beating Wake Forest 2-1 in a pitcher's duel at Dick Howser Stadium. Starting pitcher Parker Messick had 11 of FSU's 18 strikeouts, while pinch-hitter Elijah Cabell singled in two runs in the seventh inning.
The Demon Deacons (6-9, 2-7) managed three hits and struck out 18 times, the second straight game FSU has K'd 18 batters.
Messick tied his career high strikeouts, allowing three hits and a run in six innings. Chase Haney (3-0), Jonah Scolaro and Davis Hare struck out seven batters and did not allow a hit over the final three innings.
Messick also started as the designated hitter and was pinch hit for in the seventh inning, with two runners on base and two outs. Cabell lined the fifth pitch from Hunter Furtado (0-2) off the third baseman, allowing Tyler Martin and Mat Nelson to score and give FSU the lead.
Wake Forest starting pitcher Ryan Cusick needed 107 pitches to strike out 12 batters in five innings. He had five of the Demon Deacons seven walks in the game.
Martin drew three walks in the game and improved his ACC-best on-base percentage to .563. Nelson and left fielder Wyatt Crowell each had two of the Noles' five hits.
Wake Forest struck first with a double from Lucas Costello and an RBI single from Michael Turconi in the third inning. In the fifth, Adam Cecere tripled to lead off the inning, but Messick struck out Costello, forced a pop up from leadoff hitter Pierce Bennett and struck out Turconi to end the inning and strand the runner. Messick's 11 strikeouts tied his career high and his earned run average dropped to 2.73.
After Messick walked Shane Muntz to start the seventh, Haney made his 119th appearance and struck out the next three batters. Haney and Scolaro combined for a perfect eighth inning.
Hare earned his second save of the season, working around a fielding error from third baseman Ryan Romano. All three outs in the ninth inning were three-pitch strikeouts.
Game two of the series is set for Saturday at 2:00 p.m. The Seminoles will throw Bryce Hubbart (3-2), who leads the ACC with a .139 batting average against.

Wake Forest Evens Series.
Deacs win 8-7 in home run derby.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Wake Forest evened the weekend series with No. 17 Florida State Saturday, winning 8-7 at Dick Howser Stadium. The back-and-forth affair featured five home runs and 13 of the 15 runs scored by the long ball. Both teams hit grand slams and the lead changed four times before the Demon Deacons scored two runs in the sixth inning to provide the final margin.
The Seminoles (12-7, 8-6 ACC) had their seven-game win streak snapped.
Wake Forest (7-9, 3-7 ACC) got two home runs and six RBI from third baseman Brock Wilken. Starting pitcher William Fleming (2-2) earned the win, throwing six innings with seven strikeouts.
Wilken's first home run, off FSU starter Bryce Hubbart, gave the Demon Deacons a 2-0 lead in the first inning. The Noles responded in the bottom of the inning, when Reese Albert hit his first career grand slam. It was his third home run of the season and team-high 23rd for his career.
Wilken matched Albert with a grand slam of his own in the third inning to retake the lead for Wake, 6-4. Hubbart allowed six runs on seven hits in 3.0 innings. He struck out seven.
Left fielder Elijah Cabell, Friday night's hero with a two-run pinch-hit single, hit his second home run of the season in the bottom of the inning to cut the deficit to 6-5.
Shortstop Vince Smith, starting for an injured Nander De Sedas, gave FSU a 7-6 lead with a towering home run down the left field line in the fourth inning.
Clayton Kwiatkowski (0-1) entered in relief of Hubbart and allowed Wake Forest's final two runs. After retiring six straight batters, Kwiatkowski walked a pair and allowed a single, giving way to Chase Haney. Leadoff hitter Lucas Costello singled to second base to tie the game and Pierce Bennett hit a sacrifice fly that scored Adam Cecere and proved to be the final run of the game.
Tyler Ahearn pitched the final three innings for FSU without allowing a baserunner.
Camden Minacci and Eric Adler (save) did not allow a hit over the final three innings for Wake Forest.

Noles Drop Sunday Slugfest.
FSU hits season-high 5 home runs.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Despite hitting five home runs, including Nos. 9 and 10 on the season for Mat Nelson, Florida State (12-8, 8-7 ACC) dropped the series finale Sunday to Wake Forest 12-10 at Dick Howser Stadium. Nelson, Robby Martin and Elijah Cabell hit back-to-back-to-back home runs in the fourth inning, and Reese Albert hit his fourth of the year in the sixth inning.
Wake Forest (8-9, 4-7) added three home runs, including a pair from first baseman Bobby Seymour.
Nelson hit a pair of solo home runs, getting FSU on the board in the first inning with his ninth of the year. In the fourth, his 10th home run began three straight long balls from the Noles for the first time since 2010. Robby Martin followed with his fifth of the year and Elijah Cabell hit his second of the weekend and third of the season.
Nelson's 10 home runs tied Niko Kavadas of Notre Dame for the ACC lead and his average jumped to .343 for the season.
Demon Deacon starter Rhett Lowder gave up five runs on nine hits over five innings.
Wake Forest tagged FSU starter Conor Grady for four runs on five hits in the second inning to take a lead they would not relinquish. Seymour tied the game with a two-run home run and Chris Lanzilli followed with a solo shot.
In the top of the fourth, Seymour hit a three-run home run that gave Wake an 8-2 lead.
Reese Albert hit his fourth home run of the year in the sixth inning against reliever Brennan Oxford to cut the lead to 10-8. Albert leads FSU with 24 career home runs and hit two this weekend. The Noles five home runs in the game are a season high.
After Wyatt Crowell walked, Oxford's third of the inning, Cole McNamee came in and walked Vince Smith before Ryan Romano's RBI single. McNamee's wild pitch plated Smith and tied the game at 10-10.
Crowell (0-1) took over on the mound, pitching a perfect seventh before a hit batter and two wild pitches put Pierce Bennett on third base with no outs. Davis Hare came in and forced a two-out grounder to Smith at shortstop, but the ball got under his glove for Bennett to score. A second run came across on a wild pitch for a 12-10 Wake lead.
Hunter Furtado (1-2), Camden Minacci and Eric Adler (fourth save) combined to allow just one hit over the final three innings.

Eight-Run 7th Leads Noles Past Mercer.
Anderson: 6.2 IP, 6 K, 1 H.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Florida State (13-8) scored eight runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to beat Mercer (13-11) 8-1 Wednesday night in front of 1,134 fans at Dick Howser Stadium. Right-handed pitcher Jack Anderson threw 6.2 perfect innings for the Seminoles and Elijah Cabell's two-run, go-ahead home run in the seventh inning was his third in three games.
Anderson needed just 79 pitches to record his 20 outs, with seven flyouts, seven groundouts and six strikeouts. Mercer's Brandon Michie hit a solo home run in the seventh inning that snapped Anderson's perfect game and broke a scoreless tie.
Making just his third career start, and first of the season, Anderson set career highs for innings pitched and six strikeouts.
The Seminoles answered in the bottom of the inning with eight runs on six hits. Robby Martin singled before Cabell's fourth home run of the season gave FSU a 2-1 lead. Cabell has hit a home run in all three games since being reinserted in the starting lineup Saturday against Wake Forest.
Reese Albert followed with a single and scored on Wyatt Crowell's triple to centerfield, FSU's first three-bagger of the year. Crowell scored on Vince Smith's sacrifice fly and Colton Vincent walked and scored on Tyler Martin's RBI single for a 5-1 lead after seven.
Tyler Martin scored on a wild pitch and Cabell capped the scoring with a two-run single, giving him four RBI in the frame. Mercer used five pitchers in the seventh inning.
Clayton Kwiatkowski (1-1) earned the win for the Noles, striking out Colby Thomas to end the seventh inning and throwing a perfect eighth inning. Luke Sutko (2-1) was tagged with the loss after allowing four runs on five hits.
Brandon Walker closed the game with a 1-2-3 ninth inning.

Messick Wows, But Noles Fall to UNC.
Messick: 6.1 IP, career-high 12 K.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Parker Messick struck out a career-high 12 batters and allowed just three hits, but a ninth-inning run gave North Carolina a 4-3 win over Florida State Friday night at Dick Howser Stadium. The Seminoles (13-9, 8-8 ACC) tied the game on Elijah Cabell's fifth home run of the season, but the Tar Heels (14-10, 9-7) re-took the lead on an RBI single in the final inning from Justice Thompson.
Messick lowered his season earned run average to 2.52 after striking out 12 and allowing just one earned run in 6.1 innings pitched. It was the freshman lefty's third straight game with at least 10 strikeouts and the most for a Seminole since Drew Parrish struck out 13 Wake Forest players in the 2019 ACC Tournament.
Elijah Cabell's three-run home run in the seventh inning traveled 444 feet and tied the game at 3-3. It was the sophomore's fourth straight game with a home run since re-entering FSU's starting lineup. Reese Albert had two of FSU's four hits in the game.
North Carolina took a 1-0 lead in the fifth inning on three consecutive hits, their first of the day. Johnny Castagnozzi doubled off the wall in centerfield, followed by a single from Mac Horvath. Second baseman Colby Wilkerson scored Castagnozzi on a squeeze-bunt single.
In the seventh, Carolina's bottom of the lineup again combined to plate a run when Castagnozzi reached on an error, Horvath singled and both runners advanced on Wilkerson's sacrifice bunt. Davis Hare entered in relief of Messick and Angel Zarate lined a two-run, two-out single to right field to extend UNC's lead to 3-0.
After Cabell tied the score off North Carolina starter Austin Love, Shawn Rapp, Nik Pry and Caden O'Brien (2-0) combined to allow just one hit in the final two innings. Tyler Martin was hit by a pitch and Logan Lacey singled to start the eighth inning, but FSU's 3-4-5 hitters struck out to keep the game tied. FSU hitters struck out 16 times in the game, while North Carolina batters K'd 15 times.
Love allowed just three hits and struck out 10 in 7.0 innings.
Carolina's ninth inning started with Castagnozzi's second hit of the game, against Chase Haney (3-1). Clayton Kwiatkowski walked pinch-hitter Tyler Causey on four pitches and leadoff hitter Thompson, who was 0-for-4 with four strikeouts, singled off Hunter Perdue to score Castagnozzi for the final margin.
Castagnozzi scored three of UNC's four runs. Carolina's bottom three hitters in the lineup accounted for five of the Tar Heels' seven hits, both walks, a hit by pitch and a sacrifice bunt. UNC's top six spots in the lineup went 2-for-27 with all 15 strikeouts.

De Sedas Walk-Off HR Evens Series vs. UNC.
Shortstop's second career walk-off gives FSU 4-2 win.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Shortstop Nander De Sedas hit a walk-off two-run home run to give Florida State (14-9, 9-8 ACC) a 4-2 win over North Carolina (14-11, 9-8) Saturday afternoon at Dick Howser Stadium. It was FSU's first walk-off home run since Reese Albert hit one against NC State late in the 2018 season.
De Sedas's third home run of the season came on an 0-1 pitch from Nik Pry (1-2) and was dropped into FSU's bullpen in left field. De Sedas's first career walk-off was a double against UNF as a freshman in 2019.
Davis Hare (1-0) earned the win for the Noles as the last of five relief pitchers. FSU's bullpen allowed just two hits and no runs in 5.1 innings.
Florida State jumped on North Carolina with Robby Martin's two-run home run in the first inning off Max Alba. Martin's 345-foot home run was his sixth of the season and followed Logan Lacey getting hit by a pitch in the helmet.
Vince Smith doubled to start the third inning, followed by a Tyler Martin single. With one out, UNC went to the bullpen for Gage Gillian, who struck out Robby Martin and Mat Nelson to end the threat.
In the fourth, Danny Serretti led off with a double before Caleb Roberts' two-run home run off Bryce Hubbart tied the game. Hubbart struck out four in 3.2 innings, while Alba struck out three in 2.1 innings.
North Carolina threatened to take the lead in the sixth, loading the bases on a single, walk and hit by pitch before Wyatt Crowell struck out Angel Zarate to end the frame and keep the score 2-2.
Gillian, Shawn Rapp, Michael Oh and Connor Ollio kept FSU at bay for 5.2 innings, surrendering just two hits, a walk and a hit batter while striking out nine before Pry came out to start the ninth inning.
Tyler Ahearn, Crowell, Chase Haney, Jonah Scolaro and Hare combined to keep UNC scoreless for 5.1 innings after Roberts' home run.
In the ninth, North Carolina leadoff hitter Justice Thompson singled to start the inning and Roberts drew a two-out intentional walk before Hare came in and struck out Tomas Frick to keep the score tied.
For the Noles, Crowell lined a one-out single to left field for his second hit in as many at-bats. De Sedas's walk-off home run evened the series and sets up Sunday's rubber match, set for 12:00 p.m. on the ACC Network.

Grady Shuts Down UNC to Clinch Series.
Career-high 7.0 IP, season-high 10 K in 8-0 win.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Junior right-hander Conor Grady retired his final 16 batters faced, allowing just three hits and striking out 10 over 7.0 innings, as Florida State (15-9, 10-8 ACC) secured an 8-0 win over North Carolina (14-12, 9-9) Sunday afternoon at Dick Howser Stadium. Grady's 10 strikeouts were a season high and his seven innings pitched matched a career high.
Elijah Cabell hit his sixth home run of the season, and fifth in the past six games, in the first inning to give FSU a 4-0 lead.
North Carolina put a pair of baserunners on in the first inning on a pair of singles, but Grady forced two groundouts to escape unscathed. In the second, Tyler Causey singled off of Grady's leg. North Carolina did not have another base runner until the ninth inning, when they got runners on the corners before a game-ending double play.
The Seminoles jumped on North Carolina starter Max Carlson (2-2) in the first inning Sunday, scoring four runs on a pair of hits. Tyler Martin, Mat Nelson and Reese Albert walked, with Martin scoring on a wild pitch for a 1-0 lead. Cabell chased Carlson with a full-count, three-run home run over the Florida State bullpen in left field for a 4-0 lead.
Half of Cabell's six home runs, and 10 of his 18 RBI, have come in the past week.
The Seminoles added a run in the second inning on a wild pitch from UNC reliever Davis Palermo. Nelson hit his fourth double of the season in the fourth inning that scored two more runs and Vince Smith's fourth double of the year scored the final run of the game in the fifth inning.
Behind Grady, freshman Ross Dunn pitched a perfect eighth inning, with a pair of strikeouts, touching 96 on the radar gun. Jackson Nezuh forced a pop-up to the first batter in the ninth to extend FSU's stretch to 20 consecutive batters retired between the second and ninth innings.
With runners on first and third, freshman Andrew Armstrong forced a double play to end the game.
The win was the second straight for FSU and locked up the Noles fourth ACC series win this season.

Late HR Leads Dolphins Over Noles.
Nelson: HR, 5 RBI.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Sophomore catcher Mat Nelson hit his 11th home run of the season Tuesday, but the Dolphins hit a two-run home run in the ninth inning to beat Florida State 8-7 at Dick Howser Stadium. Nelson had FSU's first five RBI of the game and now leads the ACC in home runs and runs batted in (33).
Jacksonville's Christian Coipel hit three home runs Tuesday, including a two-run home run with two outs in the ninth inning that proved to be the game winner.
Nelson's first inning single scored Logan Lacey and his third inning grand slam gave FSU a 5-3 lead. It was the first grand slam of Nelson's career and the third for the Seminoles this season.
Starting pitcher Carson Montgomery struck out six batters in 4.2 innings, allowing four runs (two earned) on six hits. Jack Anderson, Chase Haney, Wyatt Crowell and Davis Hare allowed four runs in 4.1 innings of relief.
The Dolphins scored a pair of unearned runs in the first inning, courtesy of a passed ball and fielding error that made the score 2-0. FSU got one back in the bottom of the frame when Logan Lacey doubled and scored on Nelson's RBI single.
Jacksonville made it 3-1 in the second inning on leadoff hitter Ruben Someillan's sacrifice fly.
With one out in the bottom of the third, Jacksonville starter Tyler Naumann gave up a single to Tyler Martin, a second double to Lacey and walked Robby Martin before Nelson's first career grand slam gave FSU a 5-3 lead.
Jacksonville cut the lead to 5-4 on Coipel's first home run of the game. His second home run, in the seventh inning, gave the Dolphins a 6-5 lead in the seventh inning and chased Anderson from the game. Chase Haney forced a pair of groundouts and Robby Martin hit a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the inning to tie the game at 6-6 after seven innings.
The Noles took a 7-6 lead in the bottom of the eighth inning when third baseman Jackson Grabsky had an errant throw that allowed Reese Albert to score.
Hare walked Someillan to start the ninth inning. With two out, Coipel's third home run of the game gave the Dolphins the 8-7 lead. Lacey singled to start the bottom of the ninth, his third hit of the game, but Jagger McCoy (1-2) got three straight outs to secure the win.

Noles Fall in Extras at No. 7 Louisville.
Cabell: game-tying 2-R HR in 7th.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Levi Usher singled in the 10th inning to score Christian Knapczyk and give No. 7 Louisville (19-9, 11-4 ACC) a 4-3 win over No. 17 Florida State (15-11, 10-9) Friday evening at Jim Patterson Stadium.
Logan Lacey was hit by a pitch with bases loaded in the top of the 10th inning, but after review the pitch was ruled a strike when the umpires said Lacey did not make an effort to get out of the way of the pitch.
The Cardinals scored three runs in the sixth inning against FSU starter Parker Messick, the last of which was unearned on an error. The Noles answered right back in the top of the seventh, with Lacey singling to start the inning and scoring on Mat Nelson's RBI double. Centerfielder Elijah Cabell tied the game with a two-run home run off Louisville starter Michael Kirian.
Cabell has seven home runs this season, with six coming in the past eight games. Nelson leads the ACC with 34 RBI.
Jonah Scolaro (0-1) kept Louisville off the scoreboard for three innings to get the game to extra innings. After Scolaro walked the leadoff batter in Knapczyk in the 10th inning, Davis Hare recorded a pair of outs before Usher's walk-off single.
Adam Elliott (5-1) relieved Kirian and pitched 3.0 scoreless innings, allowing one hit and walking three against five strikeouts.
The game was humming along through the first five innings. Neither team had a baserunner the first time through the lineup and the first five innings were played in just over one hour. Messick finished with six hits allowed and six strikeouts in 5.2 innings. Kirian struck out 10 without allowing a walk in 7.0 innings.

Five-Run Eighth Evens Series at No. 7 Louisville.
FSU wins 8-5; Nelson (12), De Sedas (4) homer.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Catcher Mat Nelson hit his 12th home run of the season, capping a five-run eighth inning and leading No. 17 Florida State (16-11, 11-9 ACC) to an 8-5 win at No. 7 Louisville (19-10, 11-5) Saturday evening at Jim Patterson Stadium. The Seminole bullpen allowed just one run in 4.2 innings as FSU clawed back to even the weekend series.
Nelson leads the ACC with 37 RBI and 12 home runs. He finished Saturday 2-for-5 with a double and home run. Nander De Sedas started the scoring for FSU with his fourth home run of the season in the second inning.
Jack Anderson (1-0) pitched the final three innings for FSU, allowing two hits and striking out four. After FSU retook the lead in the top of the eighth inning, Anderson needed just seven pitches to get the Noles back in the dugout.
Alex Binelas accounted for all five of Louisville's home runs. His grand slam off Bryce Hubbart in the fifth inning gave Louisville a 4-2 lead. He added a solo home run with two outs in the ninth inning.
Pitcher Davis Hare made his second appearance, and first start, in the FSU batting order, finishing with an RBI single, a triple and scored a run.
De Sedas started the scoring Saturday with a two-out solo home run in the second inning off Louisville starter Luke Seed. The home run was De Sedas's fourth of the season, matching his freshman season total. The Seminoles improved to 12-1 on the season when scoring first.
Elijah Cabell drew a walk from Seed to start the fourth inning and moved to third on a failed pickoff attempt. Hare lined an RBI single to left field to double FSU's lead to 2-0.
Binelas hit a grand slam for Louisville in the fifth inning that gave the Cardinals a 4-2 lead. Hubbart gave up a leadoff single and walked a pair of batters before Binelas' sixth home run of the season.
Hubbart struck out seven and walked six in 4.1 innings pitched.
Hare led off the sixth inning with a triple off the left field wall and just under the foul pole. Hare is now 3-for-7 on the season and both of FSU's triples this year have come from pitchers (Wyatt Crowell had FSU's first against Mercer). Hare scored on Tyler Martin's sacrifice fly, cutting the Cardinal lead to 4-3.
In the eighth, De Sedas reached on a throwing error and Vince Smith was hit by a pitch from Glenn Albanese (3-1). Logan Lacey singled to score De Sedas and tie the game. Robby Martin followed with a go-ahead single before Nelson's 12th home run of the year traveled 459 feet and gave FSU an 8-4 lead.
The Seminole bullpen was strong in relief of Hubbart, with Clayton Kwiatkowski, Chase Haney and Anderson combining to allow just one run on four hits in 4.2 innings. Haney leads the country with 19 pitching appearances.
The Noles tallied 13 hits on the night, led by Lacey's career-high-tying three hits. FSU's top four batters in the lineup combined to go 9-for-18 with six RBI and three runs scored.

Noles Drop Series Finale at No. 7 Louisville.
Nelson, Cabell hit HR.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Catcher Mat Nelson hit his ACC-leading 13th home run, and Elijah Cabell added his eighth of the season, but Florida State (16-12, 11-10 ACC) dropped the series finale at No. 7 Louisville (20-10, 12-5) 11-4 Sunday evening at Jim Patterson Stadium.
The Seminoles used nine pitchers in the game. Only starter Conor Grady (5.0 IP, 3 ER) and Ross Dunn (1.0 IP) recorded more than one out.
Louisville scored a run in the second and third inning to take a 2-0 lead before Nelson's game-tying two-run home run off Luke Smith. Nelson leads the ACC with 13 home runs and 39 runs batted in. Nelson later doubled, giving him seven on the season and a double in every game of the series.
In the sixth, Cabell hit a two-run home run that gave FSU a 4-2 lead. It was Cabell's eighth home run of the year and his seventh in the past 10 games and chased Smith from the game.
The Cardinals responded with three runs in the bottom of the sixth to take a 5-4 lead before adding six runs in the seventh to provide the final margin. Tate Kuehner (2-3) walked a batter in 0.2 innings to earn the win. Jonah Scolaro (0-2) lost for the second time this weekend, allowing a hit and the final run of the sixth inning.
FSU had just four hits in the game but did draw seven walks.
Shortstop Nander De Sedas was removed from the game during his first at-bat when a bunt attempt bounced up and hit him in the eye. Jackson Greene replaced him and drew a pair of walks and was hit by a pitch in four plate appearances.

Gators Win on Walk-Off HR.
Robby Martin goes 3-for-4.
GAINESVILLE, Fla. - No. 24 Florida State (16-13) lost 3-2 at No. 18 Florida (22-11) Tuesday night, allowing a pair of unearned runs in the second inning before a walk-off home run in the 10th. FSU's Robby Martin was 3-for-4 with an RBI double, accounting for all three of FSU's hits.
Martin's RBI in the fourth inning was the 100th of his career.
The teams combined for just seven hits Tuesday, with 25 total strikeouts.
Florida took a 2-0 lead in the second inning on a pair of errors from Seminole infielders. Vince Smith bobbled a ball at second base, followed by Logan Lacey overthrowing a ball to first base that gave Florida two runners in scoring position with no outs. Lacey's error was his first in 50 chances as a Seminole.
Sterlin Thompson and Jud Fabian both scored on sacrifice flies for the early Gator lead.
The Seminoles tied things up in the fourth inning. Lacey walked on four pitches to open the inning, followed by Martin's RBI double to right field. Martin took third base on a throwing error and scored on Wyatt Crowell's sacrifice fly.
Florida State starting pitcher Carson Montgomery was continually tasked with working out of trouble, as FSU committed four errors behind the freshman pitcher. In the third, Florida got a runner to third base, but Montgomery struck out two batters and forced a fly out to keep the score tied.
In the fifth inning, Jack Anderson relieved Montgomery after FSU's fourth error and a hit batter. Anderson struck out both batters he faced to get the Seminoles back in the dugout.
Garrett Milchin, Florida's starting pitcher, threw 6.0 innings and allowed three hits and struck out five. All three of FSU's hits against Milchin came from Robby Martin. Jack Leftwich (5-2) entered in relief and did not allow a hit while striking out seven in 4.0 innings.
Anderson struck out four of the six batters he faced, leaving after FSU's fifth error of the game gave Florida a runner at second with one out. Jonah Scolaro made his 16th appearance of the season and forced a fly out and struck out pinch hitter Kendrick Calilao to end the seventh.
Chase Haney pitched a perfect ninth inning and Clayton Kwiatkowski (1-2) retired the first two batters of the 10th before Calilao hit his first home run of the season to end the game.

Nelson, Martin Grand Slams Power FSU Past BC.
Nine runs via home run; Messick improves to 3-2.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - No. 24 Florida State (17-13, 12-10 ACC) hit three home runs, including two grand slams, in a 10-2 win over Boston College (14-17, 4-15) Friday night at Dick Howser Stadium. Golden Spikes Award nominee Parker Messick improved to 3-2 with five solid innings on the mound, racking up eight strikeouts while allowing a pair of runs.
Mat Nelson's grand slam in the third inning got the Seminoles on the board, and Tyler Martin's grand slam in the seventh inning made the score 9-2. Nander De Sedas led off the fourth with a solo home run and Elijah Cabell laced an RBI double in the eighth inning to provide FSU's final run.
Messick leads the Atlantic Coast Conference with 77 strikeouts on the season and won his first game since March 19 at Miami. The freshman threw five innings and allowed six hits while striking out eight.
Wyatt Crowell and Cabell, FSU's five and six hitters, combined to reach base in eight of nine plate appearances. Crowell was 3-for-4 at the plate, while Cabell drew three walks, had a single and an RBI double.
Nelson's grand slam in the third inning got the Seminoles on the board. Joe Mancini (1-1) walked Vince Smith, Tyler Martin and Robby Martin before Nelson sent the eighth pitch of the at-bat 423 feet off the scoreboard in left field for his 14th home run, and second grand slam, of the season.
Nelson leads the ACC with 14 home runs and 43 runs batted in this season.
De Sedas led off the fourth inning with a solo home run against relief pitcher Joe Vetrano. It was De Sedas's fifth home run of the season, all five coming in ACC play.
Boston College cut the lead to 5-2 in the fifth inning on two infield singles, a walk, a fielder's choice and a sacrifice fly. With two runners on and one out, Messick struck out Vince Cimini and Ramon Jimenez grounded out to Messick to limit the damage.
Chase Haney made his 22nd appearance of the year and recorded four outs. With two runners on in the seventh, Jonah Scolaro forced a double play to end the frame.
In the bottom of the inning, Crowell singled, tying his career high with three hits. Elijah Cabell walked for the third time and Reese Albert was hit by a pitch before Tyler Martin unloaded for FSU's second grand slam of the game. It was FSU's first game with two grand slams since April 17, 2015, when DJ Stewart and Chris Marconcini did it against Pittsburgh.
Jack Anderson struck out the side in a perfect eighth inning and Brandon Walker worked around a hit and a walk to strike out a pair in the ninth inning.
Brian Dempsey was 4-for-4 at the plate, accounting for nearly half of the Eagles' nine hits. The Seminole pitching staff combined to strike out 15 batters against just three walks.

Nelson's 15th HR Leads Noles Past Eagles.
Nelson leads nation in HR; Hubbart goes 5.2 IP.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Catcher Mat Nelson continued to swing a hot bat Saturday, hitting a three-run home run and recording four RBI in Florida State's 5-1 win over Boston College. The Seminoles (18-13, 13-10 ACC) got 5.2 strong innings from starting pitcher Bryce Hubbart (4-2), beating the Eagles (14-18, 4-16) for the second straight day.
Over his past eight games, Nelson has five home runs and 21 runs batted in. The sophomore leads the ACC and ranks in the Top 5 nationally with 15 home runs and 47 RBI.
Nelson's 15th home run of the season gave the Seminoles a 3-1 lead in the fourth inning. After Tyler Martin and Logan Lacey walked to open the inning, Nelson hit a home run off the scoreboard in left field to give FSU its first lead. Emmet Sheehan (3-3) had not allowed a baserunner before Martin's walk.
Boston College opened the game with a single, double and walk to load the bases with no outs. Hubbart proceeded to strikeout the next three batters, but the Eagles did score on a passed ball for the early 1-0 lead.
Hubbart earned his fourth win of the year, throwing 5.2 innings and allowing just one run while striking out eight.
Ramon Jimenez hit a double to start the fourth inning and moved to third on a sacrifice bunt, but Hubbart struck out Chris Galland and Peter Burns grounded out to first to keep the FSU deficit at one.
Designated hitter Garrett Mathes singled to start the fifth inning, followed by Nander De Sedas's fifth double of the season. Mathes scored on Tyler Martin's sacrifice fly for a 4-1 FSU lead.
Chase Haney, Clayton Kwiatkowski, Jack Anderson and Hunter Perdue combined to pitch 3.1 innings, allowing one hit while striking out six. In three games this week, the Seminole bullpen has a 0.71 ERA in 12.2 innings, with 21 strikeouts and just six hits allowed.
Nelson capped the scoring in the seventh inning with a sacrifice fly, his first of the year.

Robby Martin Homers in Finale vs. BC.
Martin's 7th HR not enough in 5-3 loss.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - No. 24 Florida State (18-14) could not cap the sweep of Boston College (15-18) Sunday, falling 5-3 at Dick Howser Stadium in a rainy Sunday finale. Outfielder Robby Martin hit his seventh home run of the year in the loss.
Initially delayed 2.5 hours for lightning and rain, the game was also delayed after the fifth inning for 53 minutes.
Dante Baldelli led off the third inning with his first triple of the season and scored on a Peter Burns groundball error. After Cameron Leary sacrificed Burns to third base, Sal Frelick reached on a fielder's choice that doubled the Eagles lead to 2-0.
Robby Martin tied the game with a two-run home run in the fourth inning off Boston College starter Alex Stiegler. Following Mat Nelson's leadoff double, Martin took a 2-0 pitch opposite field off the left field scoreboard to knot the score 2-2.
With two outs in the fifth, Frelick doubled and Brian Dempsey singled to chase Conor Grady (4-2) and give the Eagles a 3-2 lead. Jonah Scolaro made his 18th appearance of the year and forced a groundout to second base to end the inning.
After the sixth-inning rain delay, the Eagles added a run on Baldelli's sacrifice fly. The Noles got a run back on Nelson's RBI single in the seventh against reliever Joey Walsh (2-3), but a strikeout ended the Seminole threat.
Lucas Stalman's first home run of the year in the eighth inning pushed Boston College's lead to 5-3.

Noles Shut Out Yellow Jackets in Series Opener.
Messick improves to 4-2; Nelson, Greene, R. Martin homer
ATLANTA, Ga. - No. 25 Florida State (19-14, 14-11 ACC) won 9-0 against Georgia Tech (18-15, 14-11) Friday night at Mac Nease Baseball Park. Lefthander Parker Messick (4-2) won his second consecutive start and lowered his earned run average to 2.41 after throwing six shutout innings.
At the plate, Mat Nelson, Jackson Greene and Robby Martin homered for the Seminoles. Greene also laid down a perfect bunt in the fourth inning that the Yellow Jackets threw away, allowing two more runs to score.
Friday's win was FSU's first shutout against the Yellow Jackets since 2000 and the Noles first in Atlanta since a 19-0 win in 1985. FSU has four shutouts against ACC opponents this season, their most since the 2014 season and twice as many as any other league team this year.
Messick (4-2) struck out five and allowed just three hits in 6.0 innings. All three of Georgia Tech's hits against the Seminole ace were two-out singles that were followed up by inning-ending outs. Friday was Messick's second outing this year not allowing a run (8.0 innings vs. Virginia) and his three hits allowed tied his fewest in a start this season.
Messick's earned run average is now down to 2.41 and is 1.68 in nine starts against ACC competition. Jonah Scolaro, Jack Anderson and Ross Dunn combined to keep Georgia Tech off the scoreboard over the final three innings, with the only hit allowed erased on an outfield assist.
Nelson got the scoring started with his 16th home run of the year, a solo shot in the first inning against Brant Hurter (3-3). Nelson leads the nation in home runs and now has 49 runs batted in this year, the most in the ACC.
In the third inning, Nander De Sedas led off with his first triple of the season and scored on Greene's first career home run. Greene, making his 19th start of the season and 36th as a Seminole, gave the Noles a 3-0 lead after three innings. His two runs batted in tied a season high.
The Noles scored two more in the fourth inning after designated hitter Davis Hare singled, advanced to second and third on groundouts, De Sedas walked and Greene laid down a perfect bunt. Hurter threw the ball past the first baseman, allowing both runners to score and push FSU's lead to 5-0.
Hare had a career day at the plate, finishing with three hits, including a double in the ninth inning. FSU scored four runs in the ninth inning, including three on Martin's eighth home run of the season that traveled 425 feet over the right field wall.
Scolaro allowed a double, Georgia Tech's only extra base hit, in the seventh inning, but Tres Gonzalez was retired attempting to stretch it into a triple. Anderson pitched a perfect eighth inning and struck out a pair of batters. For the year, Anderson has 31 strikeouts against just three walks.
Dunn closed out the game with a perfect ninth inning. For the season, FSU's team ERA is down to 3.05.

Offensive Explosion Clinches Series at Georgia Tech.
Game suspended Saturday, finished Sunday.
ATLANTA, Ga. - No. 25 Florida State (20-14, 15-11 ACC) clinched its third Atlantic Coast Conference series away from home Saturday with a 13-10 win at Mac Nease Ballpark against Georgia Tech (18-16, 14-12). Logan Lacey led FSU with a career-high five RBI, while Mat Nelson extended his nation-leading home run total to 17 and Tyler Martin scored four runs.
Bryce Hubbart (5-2) won his second straight start, throwing five innings, allowing three hits, one run, a walk and five strikeouts to lower his season earned run average to 3.74.
The game was suspended in the top of the eighth inning Saturday night with FSU leading 11-7. On Sunday, FSU scored two runs on infield singles in the eighth inning and Georgia Tech hit two home runs to provide the final margin.
Just before a 30-minute rain delay, Lacey hit a three-run home run in the second inning that gave FSU a 4-0 lead. After play resumed, Lacey tacked on a two-run single and the junior finished 2-for-4 with two runs and a walk on the day.
Nelson followed Lacey's two-run single with his 17th home run. Nelson has a home run in six of his past seven ACC games and, with three RBI Saturday, now leads the ACC with 52 on the year.
Right fielder Robby Martin opened the scoring with an RBI double in the first inning and added a sacrifice fly in the fifth inning. The sophomore is third in the ACC with 39 RBI this year.
Tyler Martin scored on each of his first four plate appearances, tying a career high and pushing his season total to 37, tied with Nelson for the team lead. Andy Archer (4-4) walked six and gave up four hits and six runs in 3.0 innings for the Yellow Jackets.
Georgia Tech scored its first run of the weekend on a solo home run by John Anderson to start the third inning. The Yellow Jackets had leadoff doubles in the fourth and fifth innings, but Hubbart settled in and kept Georgia Tech off the board both times.
After Anderson's home run, Florida State responded with four runs in the fourth inning and three more in the fifth for an 11-1 lead.
After a slew of substitutions from both sides, Georgia Tech plated six runs in the seventh inning against the Seminole bullpen to cut the lead to 11-7. Carson Montgomery needed just three pitches to record the first two outs, but he and Chase Haney allowed two walks, a hit by pitch, a double and four singles for a six-run inning. The inning ended with Stephen Reid trying to advance to second after his RBI single and getting thrown out 9-2-4.
When the game restarted Sunday, Jack Anderson was on the mound for the Noles and allowed two home runs and three runs total. With two runners on base, Jonah Scolaro and Davis Hare, who earned his third save, combined to get the final two batters out.

Mat Nelson Extends Home Run Lead.
Third straight game with HR, but Noles fall in series finale.
ATLANTA, Ga. - No. 25 Florida State (21-15, 15-12) dropped the series finale Sunday at Georgia Tech (19-16, 15-12), falling to the Yellow Jackets 9-8 at Mac Nease Ballpark. Mat Nelson hit his 18th home run, the most in the country, before exiting the game in the sixth inning.
Earlier Sunday, the Seminoles secured the series win in a completed game from Saturday night. Florida State has won three of four road series this season.
Nander De Sedas and Elijah Cabell also hit home runs for the Seminoles. FSU led 5-0 after the first inning, but a six-run fifth inning from Georgia Tech helped the Jackets avoid the series sweep.
Tyler Martin reached base four times without a hit - a career-high three walks and a hit by pitch. He is reaching base at a .488 clip this season.
Nelson hit his third home run of the weekend in the first inning, pushing his season total to 18, the most in the country. Nelson's two-run home run also gives him 54 runs batted in, the most in the ACC, and scored Martin, who led off the game with a walk.
Four batters later, De Sedas hit his sixth home run of the year, a three-run blast that scored Davis Hare and Wyatt Crowell for a 5-0 Seminole lead. De Sedas has a home run in four consecutive ACC series.
Both starting pitchers threw only 1.0 innings Sunday. Sam Crawford allowed all five runs in the first inning on three hits and three walks. Conor Grady was perfect in the first inning but allowed two hits and three walks without an out as the Yellow Jackets scored three runs in the second inning to cut into FSU's lead.
Hunter Perdue relieved Grady and did not allow a hit for 3.0 innings, setting a career high for innings pitched. The junior struck out one and allowed just two baserunners - a hit batter that was erased on a double play and a walk that was erased on Nelson's 11th caught stealing of the year.
Georgia Tech started the fifth inning with five consecutive hits, the last four against Tyler Ahearn (0-1). Tech took a 9-5 lead in the inning before FSU clawed back late with Cabell's ninth home run of the year that made it 9-6. After three walks, FSU scored on a wild pitch but left two runners on in the seventh inning.
In the ninth, Robby Martin singled and Cabell drew a walk before De Sedas singled off the pitcher's leg to make it a 9-8 game. Jackson Greene grounded into a double play to end the game.
Zach Maxwell (2-1) earned the win, allowing two runs (one earned) in 2.2 relief innings. Luke Bartnicki recorded seven outs for his fifth save of the year.

Long Ball Powers Noles Past Hatters.
Nelson hits 19th HR; Ahearn steady on the mound.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - No. 20 Florida State (21-15) hit four home runs in a 9-5 win over Stetson (22-15) Tuesday at Dick Howser Stadium. Eight of the Seminoles nine runs came via home run, while Tyler Ahearn (1-1) provided a pair of strong innings out of the bullpen in the win.
Catcher Mat Nelson, the nation's leader in home runs and RBI, hit his 19th of the season in the first inning. Nelson's 19 home runs are the most for a Seminole in 12 years and four more than any other player in the country.
Nander De Sedas, Elijah Cabell and Robby Martin added multi-run homers later in the game. For the year, those four have combined to hit 45 home runs.
Ahearn allowed just one hit and struck out four batters in 2.0 innings out of the bullpen for his first win of the year.
Stetson took the early lead with a pair of runs in the first inning, courtesy of a hit batter and three hits. Carson Montgomery worked a scoreless second inning, exiting with four hits allowed and two runs with a pair of strikeouts.
The Seminoles combined to strike out 15 Stetson batters.
After Nelson's solo home run in the first inning, De Sedas's seventh homer of the year gave the Seminoles the lead and Cabell's 10th of the season in the fourth pushed the FSU lead to 5-2.
Stetson starter Anthony DeFabbia (2-1) allowed the first three home runs. The freshman allowed seven hits, including four in the Noles three-run fourth inning. Logan Lacey drew a bases loaded walk for a 6-2 lead through four innings.
The Hatters tacked on an unearned run in the sixth inning. Reliever Ross Dunn threw a career-high 1.2 innings in relief, with three strikeouts.
Robby Martin answered in the bottom of the sixth with his ninth home run, a three-run blast to right field that scored Tyler Martin and Lacey. The Seminoles hit four home runs in a game for the fourth time this season, and all four came off the bats of third-year sophomores.
Robby Martin ranks third in the ACC with 42 runs batted in this season.
The Hatters scored runs in the seventh and ninth innings to provide the final margin. Freshmen Wyatt Crowell and Andrew Armstrong combined for the final two innings, striking out four with two hits allowed.

Noles Win Pitching Duel vs. Troy.
FSU wins 3-2; Messick, Anderson combine in win
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Pitchers Parker Messick and Jack Anderson combined to allow just two runs in No. 20 Florida State's (22-15) 3-2 win against Troy (20-20) Friday night at Dick Howser Stadium. Messick (5-2) won his third consecutive start, working around a career-high nine hits with nine strikeouts, while Anderson earned his first career save with 2.2 innings of relief.
Elijah Cabell hit a two-run home run in the fourth inning that gave FSU a 3-0 lead and proved to be the winning runs. Cabell has a home run in three consecutive games and a career-high 11 on the season.
Messick did not walk a batter and had nine strikeouts through the first six innings. In the seventh, Troy notched four hits against Messick and the only out was on a double that Robby Martin turned into an outfield assist on an out at the plate. Anderson allowed an RBI single to trim the lead to one but forced a pop up to end the inning.
Anderson struck out three batters Friday and has a 37-3 strikeout-to-walk ratio on the season. He has 35 strikeouts since his last walk.
Garrett Gainous (6-4) matched Messick with 6.1 innings and nine strikeouts. The Troy ace allowed six hits and three earned runs. Lance Johnson and Max Newton out of the Troy bullpen combined to surrender just one hit in 1.2 innings.
Tyler Martin singled to start the game and moved to second on a stolen base. Logan Lacey bunted Martin to third and the Seminoles nabbed a 1-0 lead on Mat Nelson's sacrifice fly, his nation-leading 55th RBI of the year.
Cabell's home run scored Messick, who also started in the designated hitter spot. The left-hander had walked on four pitches before Cabell turned a 2-2 pitch into an opposite field home run.
After Logan Cerny's RBI single against Anderson cut the lead to 3-2, Anderson retired the final seven batters of the game for his first career save.

Hubbart K's 12 But Bats Fall Flat vs. Troy.
Noles lose 3-0 pitchers duel.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Bryce Hubbart struck out 12 batters and allowed just two hits Saturday, but No. 20 Florida State (22-16) could not get the bats going in a 3-0 loss to Troy (21-20) at Dick Howser Stadium. Nic Nolan's solo home run in the sixth inning broke up Hubbart's perfect game and proved to be the winning run.
Hubbart (5-3) struck out two batters in each of the first five innings and one each in the sixth and seventh. A leadoff double in the seventh inning, followed by a balk and strikeout, ended Hubbart's day.
Logan Cerny scored on an error to double the score against Hunter Perdue in the seventh. Troy's third run came in the ninth inning after Cerny doubled, moved to third on a groundout and scored on a passed ball.
FSU's 17 strikeouts without a walk were one shy of the school-record 18 strikeouts without a free pass.
The Seminoles had multiple chances to get on the scoreboard against Orlando Ortiz (4-4), but left eight runners on base over six innings against the Troy right-hander. In the third inning, Ortiz hit a batter and walked two more, but Robby Martin lofted a high fly to the left field wall that was caught by Rigsby Mosley.
FSU left 10 runners on base Saturday. Before a 1-2-3 ninth inning against Marquez Oates, who picked up his fourth save of the year, the only innings that FSU did not strand a baserunner were inning-ending double plays in the first and seventh innings.
Elijah Cabell and Logan Lacey each had two hits for the Seminoles. Cabell is hitting 7-for-11 during his four-game hitting streak.

Hare, Nelson Power Noles in Comeback Win vs. Troy.
Pitching K's 15, walks 2 to clinch series.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Davis Hare and Mat Nelson each hit late-inning home runs, and the FSU bullpen continued its strong weekend, as No. 20 Florida State (23-16) rallied from an early deficit for a 4-2 win over Troy (21-21) Sunday afternoon at Dick Howser Stadium. The win clinched the series for the Seminoles.
Each team scored just seven runs over the three-game series, which FSU won two games to one. Conor Grady continued FSU's strong starting pitching Sunday, with a career-high 13 strikeouts with no walks. He did give up a pair of runs (one earned) over 5.0 innings.
Sunday's bullpen arms featured Tyler Ahearn (2-1), who walked two in a scoreless seventh inning; Chase Haney and Ross Dunn, who combined for a scoreless seventh and eighth innings; and Jack Anderson, who worked around a one-out walk in the ninth inning for his second save of the series.
For the weekend, FSU's starting pitching trio of Grady, Parker Messick and Bryce Hubbart combined for 34 strikeouts without a walk over 17.2 innings. The bullpen did not give up an earned run in 9.1 innings with nine strikeouts.
Designated hitter Hare was 2-for-3 Sunday, with a double and a home run. He scored a pair of runs and his solo home run against DJ Wilkinson (0-4) in the seventh inning broke a 2-2 tie. Nelson provided an insurance run with a home run in the eighth inning, his 20th of the season.
Nelson's 20 home runs are the most in the country this year and the most for a Seminole since Buster Posey had 26 as a junior in 2008. Nelson added two runs batted in Sunday.
Rigsby Mosley hit his first home run of the season, a two-out solo blast in the first inning, to give the visiting Trojans a 1-0 lead. In the third inning, Wyatt Crowell bobbled a hard hit ball in center field, allowing Troy to add an unearned run. With a man on third and one out, Logan Lacey made a diving stop at third base and threw across the diamond to prevent another run from scoring.
Florida State snapped a 17-inning scoreless streak and finally got to Troy starter Bay Witcher in the fifth inning. Hare doubled to open the inning and scored on Nander De Sedas's RBI single to cut the lead in half.
Tyler Martin grounded into what appeared to be an inning-ending double play, but review showed FSU's first baseman beat the throw and the inning continued. That proved vital for the home team when Lacey singled to the shortstop and Nelson doubled to tie the game.
Ahearn allowed a pair of walks but nothing else in the sixth inning. They were the only walks issued by the Seminoles in the three-game series.
Hare and Nelson's solo home runs provided the final margin of victory for the Seminoles.
Anderson, who threw 2.2 innings for his first career save Friday night, allowed an infield single to Clay Stearns but back-to-back fielder's choices secured the win for the Noles.
Bay Witcher matched Grady with two earned runs allowed in 5.0 innings for Troy. Mosley and Stearns combined for five of Troy's eight hits.

Messick, Noles Beat No. 2 Notre Dame.
Messick lowers season ERA to 2.37; Cabell's 3-R HR proves difference.
SOUTH BEND, Ind. - Freshman southpaw Parker Messick continued his season-long dominance Friday, allowing just one run in six innings with eight strikeouts in No. 13 Florida State's 5-2 win at No. 2 Notre Dame. The Seminoles (24-16, 16-12 ACC) and Fighting Irish (24-9, 21-9) each had just four hits, but Davis Hare (two-run single) and Elijah Cabell (three-run home run) both had hits with runners on base for the Seminoles.
Messick has now won four consecutive games and is 6-2 on the season. He has 11 consecutive starts with at least 5.0 innings pitched and two or fewer earned runs allowed.
Jack Anderson entered to start the seventh inning and earned his third save in the past week.
The Irish took an early lead, loading the bases in the first inning courtesy of a double, walk and a single before FSU recorded an out. Jack Brannigan lofted a sacrifice fly to center field for the 1-0 lead, but Messick limited the damage to just the one run.
Notre Dame loaded the bases again, this time with one out, in the third inning, before Messick notched a strikeout and a fielder's choice ground ball to end the frame. After getting out of the bases loaded jam in the third, Messick faced the minimum over the next three innings, with his only baserunner allowed getting thrown out to end the sixth inning.
The heart of Florida State's order responded in the fourth inning against Will Mercer (1-2). After two quick outs, Mat Nelson drew a full-count walk and Robby Martin singled for FSU's first hit of the day. After Cabell loaded the bases with another full-count walk, Hare lined a two-run single through the right side for a 2-1 FSU lead.
Mercer breezed through the first three innings on just 28 pitches; he threw 29 in the fourth.
Tanner Kohlhepp relieved Mercer in the sixth inning and was rolling before the ninth inning, when Nelson was hit by a pitch and Martin walked before Cabell's 12th home run of the season snuck just inside the right field foul pole.
Cabell's home run proved big when the Irish scored a run in the bottom of the ninth against Anderson, but the sophomore battled back and forced a game-ending groundout.
The win improved Florida State to 9-5 on the road this season. All 14 games have come against Top 20 competition and FSU now leads the ACC with 14 wins against Top 25 opponents this year.

Noles Clinch Series at No. 2 Notre Dame
FSU wins series finale 7-1; Baldor 3-for-3, 3 doubles, 4 RBI
SOUTH BEND, Ind. - No. 13 Florida State won its fourth road series against a ranked team, splitting Saturday's doubleheader at No. 2 Notre Dame after beating the Irish Friday night. The Seminoles are now 25-17 and 17-13 in the Atlantic Coast Conference, while Notre Dame falls to 25-10 overall and 22-10 in the ACC.
Notre Dame won the first game Saturday, 5-3, before FSU won the nightcap, 7-1.
Elijah Cabell had three hits Saturday, extending his hitting streak to eight games. Nico Baldor, who made his first start of the season in the second game Saturday, reached base in all five plate appearances with three doubles, four runs batted in, a walk and a hit by pitch.
Conor Grady earned his fifth win of the season, allowing just three hits over five innings with six strikeouts.
For Notre Dame, who leads the ACC standings, it was their first series loss of the season. The Seminoles had previously beaten No. 18 Virginia Tech, No. 6 Miami and No. 17 Georgia Tech away from Tallahassee this season.
Notre Dame 5, FSU 3
The Fighting Irish evened the weekend series, winning Saturday's first game 5-3 behind a strong pitching performance from John Bertrand (6-1). All three of Florida State's runs came over the final two innings.
Tyler Martin led the Seminoles with four hits, including a two-run single in the ninth inning. Mat Nelson reached base three times and his RBI double in the eighth inning scored Martin and got the Seminoles on the board.
Bryce Hubbart (5-4) allowed a pair of runs in five innings, with five strikeouts. Notre Dame scored on a sacrifice fly in the first inning and Jack Brannigan, who earned the save, hit a three-run home run off Chase Haney in the sixth inning for a 4-0 lead. Niko Kavadas added an RBI single seventh inning before FSU scored three late runs.
In the fifth inning, Notre Dame had runners on second and third with one out and a 1-0 lead. Ryan Cole attempted the suicide squeeze bunt, but missed and Nelson was able to tag the runner attempting to score from third and throw to Jackson Greene at second base for the inning-ending double play. Nelson has now thrown out 15 of 28 attempted base stealers this season.
Senior Chase Haney made his 135th career pitching appearance, one shy of tying the school record.
FSU 7, Notre Dame 1
Conor Grady (5-2) allowed just three hits and two walks in five innings, while striking out six, as FSU beat the Irish 7-1 in game two Saturday. Nico Baldor was 3-for-3 with three doubles in his first start of the season, and Elijah Cabell had a pair of hits to push his average to .288 and extend his hitting streak to eight games.
The Seminoles had a 6-0 lead before Notre Dame got on the board in the seventh inning.
Robby Martin walked and Baldor was hit by a pitch in the second inning before Nander De Sedas gave FSU a 1-0 lead with an RBI double.
In the fourth inning, Martin again led off with a walk and was joined on the bases when Dylan Simmons walked. Baldor extended FSU's lead to 3-0 with a two-run double in the fourth inning. A patient Seminole lineup was rewarded in the sixth inning when Tyler Martin was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded and Logan Lacey followed with a walk for two more runs.
Baldor gave FSU a 6-0 lead in the seventh inning with his second double of the day. He entered the day with just one hit on the season.
Dylan Simmons started at DH for the Noles and singled in the ninth inning. Isaiah Perry pinch-ran for Simmons and scored on Baldor's third RBI double of the game. Baldor is the first Seminole since Quincy Nieporte in 2017 at Louisville with three doubles in a game.
Davis Hare, Wyatt Crowell and Hunter Perdue combined to allow just one run over the final four innings.
Alex Rao fell to 1-1 for the Fighting Irish.

The Seminoles are now 25-17 and 17-13 in the Atlantic Coast Conference, while Notre Dame falls to 25-10 overall and 22-10 in the ACC.
Notre Dame won the first game Saturday, 5-3, before FSU won the nightcap, 7-1.
Elijah Cabell had three hits Saturday, extending his hitting streak to eight games. Nico Baldor, who made his first start of the season in the second game Saturday, reached base in all five plate appearances with three doubles, four runs batted in, a walk and a hit by pitch.
Conor Grady earned his fifth win of the season, allowing just three hits over five innings with six strikeouts.
For Notre Dame, who leads the ACC standings, it was their first series loss of the season. The Seminoles had previously beaten No. 18 Virginia Tech, No. 6 Miami and No. 17 Georgia Tech away from Tallahassee this season.
Notre Dame 5, FSU 3
The Fighting Irish evened the weekend series, winning Saturday's first game 5-3 behind a strong pitching performance from John Bertrand (6-1). All three of Florida State's runs came over the final two innings.
Tyler Martin led the Seminoles with four hits, including a two-run single in the ninth inning. Mat Nelson reached base three times and his RBI double in the eighth inning scored Martin and got the Seminoles on the board.
Bryce Hubbart (5-4) allowed a pair of runs in five innings, with five strikeouts. Notre Dame scored on a sacrifice fly in the first inning and Jack Brannigan, who earned the save, hit a three-run home run off Chase Haney in the sixth inning for a 4-0 lead. Niko Kavadas added an RBI single seventh inning before FSU scored three late runs.
In the fifth inning, Notre Dame had runners on second and third with one out and a 1-0 lead. Ryan Cole attempted the suicide squeeze bunt, but missed and Nelson was able to tag the runner attempting to score from third and throw to Jackson Greene at second base for the inning-ending double play. Nelson has now thrown out 15 of 28 attempted base stealers this season.
Senior Chase Haney made his 135th career pitching appearance, one shy of tying the school record.
FSU 7, Notre Dame 1
Conor Grady (5-2) allowed just three hits and two walks in five innings, while striking out six, as FSU beat the Irish 7-1 in game two Saturday. Nico Baldor was 3-for-3 with three doubles in his first start of the season, and Elijah Cabell had a pair of hits to push his average to .288 and extend his hitting streak to eight games.
The Seminoles had a 6-0 lead before Notre Dame got on the board in the seventh inning.
Robby Martin walked and Baldor was hit by a pitch in the second inning before Nander De Sedas gave FSU a 1-0 lead with an RBI double.
In the fourth inning, Martin again led off with a walk and was joined on the bases when Dylan Simmons walked. Baldor extended FSU's lead to 3-0 with a two-run double in the fourth inning. A patient Seminole lineup was rewarded in the sixth inning when Tyler Martin was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded and Logan Lacey followed with a walk for two more runs.
Baldor gave FSU a 6-0 lead in the seventh inning with his second double of the day. He entered the day with just one hit on the season.
Dylan Simmons started at DH for the Noles and singled in the ninth inning. Isaiah Perry pinch-ran for Simmons and scored on Baldor's third RBI double of the game. Baldor is the first Seminole since Quincy Nieporte in 2017 at Louisville with three doubles in a game.
Davis Hare, Wyatt Crowell and Hunter Perdue combined to allow just one run over the final four innings.
Alex Rao fell to 1-1 for the Fighting Irish.

Cabell's 13th home run of the season was his first career walk-off hit.
Florida Gulf Coast won the first game of the day, 8-7, on a ninth-inning home run of their own.
FGCU 8, FSU 7
Jacob Lojewski's solo home run in the ninth inning gave visiting FGCU an 8-7 victory Wednesday. The team's played four innings Tuesday before a weather delay pushed the resumption to Wednesday.
Logan Lacey had three hits and three RBI for the Seminoles, who rallied from a 7-3 deficit to tie the game in the seventh inning. Hunter Perdue (1-1) suffered his first loss at Florida State.
FSU led, 2-1, when the game was suspended Tuesday evening. Lacey hit his fourth home run of the season to give the Seminoles the lead.
FGCU scored six runs on six hits, all with two outs in the sixth inning to take the 7-3 lead. Lacey hit a two-run single and Robby Martin had his second RBI of the day to tie the score against Jason Woodward (3-2). Starting with Martin's groundout, Woodward retired the final eight batters of the game, which included perfect eighth and ninth innings.
The Seminoles used seven pitchers. Tyler Ahearn threw a season-high 3.1 innings in early relief of Carson Montgomery.
OF NOTE:
Florida State got outstanding pitching from Ross Dunn, Chase Haney and Wyatt Crowell (1-1) in the second game Wednesday. Elijah Cabell's walk-off home run in the ninth inning was the first of his career and his 13th home run of the season.
The Seminoles got on the board first against Tyler Tipton when Jackson Greene led off the third inning with his second double of the series. Colton Vincent's sacrifice fly moved him to third base and he scored on Tyler Martin's RBI single to center field.
Greene's two doubles against the Eagles were his first of the season.
Dunn made his first start of his career, working around four hits and a walk to not allow a run in 3.1 innings. The freshman from Salt Lake City struck out a career high four batters.
Haney relieved Dunn and pitched 3.1 innings, allowing a solo home run that tied the game with three strikeouts. The senior tied the FSU record with his 136th pitching appearance and was one out shy of his career-high innings pitched.

Hubbart Leads Noles in Opening 8-3 Win vs. Clemson.
Freshman throws 6.0 innings, 1 run.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Freshman Bryce Hubbart, making his first series-opening start of the year, threw 6.0 innings and allowed just one run in Florida State's 8-3 win over Clemson Friday at Dick Howser Stadium. Logan Lacey led the Seminoles (27-18, 18-13 ACC) at the plate with two doubles and three RBI, while Hubbart shut down Clemson (23-22, 15-16) after the Tigers scored a first-inning run.
Hubbart improved to 6-4 on the year, striking out seven Clemson batters over six innings. The freshman hit Clemson's first batter of the game and the Tigers took a 1-0 lead on a Caden Grice single.
After the first inning, Hubbart settled in and allowed just three more hits. He threw 104 pitches and left after striking out Davis Sharpe looking to end the sixth inning.
FSU took the lead in the third inning on Lacey's first double of the game that scored Nander De Sedas. Jackson Greene also scored on the play when Kier Meredith bobbled the ball in left field.
Mack Anglin (2-4) allowed four runs in 6.0 innings for Clemson.
Sam Hall hit a two-run home run in the seventh inning that brought the Tigers within 4-3, but Clayton Kwiatkowski stranded a runner on third base to end the frame. Jack Anderson earned his fourth save of the year with two perfect innings.
The Noles tacked on four insurance runs in the eighth inning against the Tigers bullpen. Nico Baldor scored on a passed ball before back-to-back doubles from Lacey and Mat Nelson provided the final margin.

Clemson Evens Series.
Cabell, Lacey homer; bullpen struggles.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Clemson scored the final six runs Saturday to beat Florida State 9-5 and even the weekend series at Dick Howser Stadium. Elijah Cabell hit his fourth career grand slam for the Seminoles (27-19, 18-14 ACC), but Clemson (24-22, 16-16) had four hits, three walks, two hit batters and four runs against the FSU bullpen.
Cabell's grand slam flipped Clemson's 3-1 advantage to a 5-3 FSU lead. It was his 14th home run of the season. Logan Lacey's fifth home run of the year got FSU on the board in the first inning.
Starting pitcher Conor Grady pitched 5.1 innings and allowed four earned runs with seven strikeouts.
Clemson took the early lead with three runs on four hits in the first inning. Sam Hall and Kier Meredith led off with back-to-back singles before James Parker plated a pair on a double in the left field corner.
Bryar Hawkins made it 3-0 Tigers with a single to left.
Lacey answered with a solo home run in the bottom of the first against Keyshawn Askew. Lacey has a six-game hitting streak, three extra-base hits and four RBI in the series against Clemson.
Cabell's 14th home run of the season, a fifth-inning grand slam, turned the tide for the Seminoles and gave FSU a 5-3 lead. The two-out, two-strike home run came on Askew's 100th pitch of the game and was Cabell's fourth career grand slam. FSU loaded the bases on a Tyler Martin walk and back-to-back singles from Lacey and Mat Nelson.
The Tigers tied the game in the sixth on a passed ball and wild pitch but Jonah Scolaro stranded runners on the corners to prevent any further damage. Clemson scored three more in the seventh after the first four batters reached against Wyatt Crowell (1-2). Tyler Ahearn and Davis Hare also pitched in the inning.

Four-Run Eighth Caps FSU Comeback Win.
Noles win fifth straight series.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - No. 17 Florida State (28-19, 19-14 ACC) sent 10 batters to the plate and scored four runs in the eighth inning to beat Clemson (24-23, 16-17) 9-6 Sunday afternoon at Dick Howser Stadium. Junior Jackson Greene had a pair of hits for the Seminoles and played great defense at second base to keep FSU in the game after Clemson scored four runs in the first inning.
Davis Hare saw one pitch Sunday - a bases loaded, pinch-hit single that scored the tying and go-ahead runs in the eighth inning. Tyler Martin had three hits, two RBI and a walk, while Greene and Nander De Sedas each had two hits. Dylan Simmons drew three walks and scored a pair of runs.
FSU took its first lead after scoring three runs in the third and two more in the fourth, but a two-run home run from Blake Wright off Parker Messick in the sixth inning shifted the tide back to the Tigers.
Messick surrendered four runs on five hits in the first inning before settling in to strike out 10 batters. FSU's normal game one starter, Messick was pushed to Sunday this week due to a back injury.
FSU's bottom third of the lineup scored FSU's first five runs of the game. Greene provided great defense at second base as well, diving for a ball and throwing to first in the third inning and fielding a slow roller to end the fourth inning.
Messick retired 13 consecutive batters before a walk to Jonathan French was followed by Wright's first career home run. Messick had won four consecutive starts before Sunday, but he still has not lost a game since February 26 against Pitt.
Sunday was FSU's home finale after not being selected as a possible host site for the NCAA Tournament. Senior Clayton Kwiatkowski struck out two batters in the seventh inning and Jack Anderson (2-0) gave up two hits in the eighth and nothing in the ninth to lock up the win.
Wright was the only Tiger with two hits and his three RBI led the team. Nick Clayton went 2.2 innings in his first start of the season. Nick Hoffmann (4-1) threw 4.1 innings with two runs allowed, while Geoffrey Gilbert allowed two runs in his one inning pitched.

Lacey's Grand Slam Not Enough at NC State.
Wolfpack win on walk-off home run.
RALEIGH, N.C. - Florida State's Logan Lacey tied the game at NC State with a seventh-inning grand slam, but the Seminoles (28-20, 19-15 ACC) fell 6-4 at Doak Field Thursday night in the opening game of the final regular season series.
Luca Tresh hit two home runs for NC State (27-14, 18-13), including a two-run walk-off in the ninth inning against Hunter Perdue (1-2).
Bryce Hubbart pitched 5.0 innings, surrendering a leadoff home run in the second inning to Tresh. The Wolfpack added a run on a passed ball in the fourth inning before a two-run home run from Jonny Butler, the ACC's leading hitter, gave NC State a 4-0 lead in the fifth inning.
Hubbart struck out six batters and walked three.
Reid Johnston struck out a career-high 13 over 6.2 innings. Johnston was perfect over the first three innings and FSU could not capitalize in the middle innings, stranding five runners that reached base on singles.
Lacey's grand slam tied the game on Johnston's 115th pitch of the game. After Dylan Simmons and Nander De Sedas singled, Tyler Martin drew FSU's first walk of the game before Lacey's sixth home run of the season evened the score in the seventh inning at 4-4.
Tyler Ahearn recorded two outs in relief of Hubbart and left in the sixth inning with the bases loaded. Ross Dunn forced a first-pitch fielder's choice to keep NC State up 4-0. After Lacey's grand slam, the Wolfpack got two runners on to start the seventh off Dunn, but Hunter Perdue entered and struck out the next three batters, touching 97 to keep the score tied 4-4.
Perdue worked out of trouble in the eighth as well, stranding two runners in scoring position with his fourth strikeout.
Butler led off the ninth inning with a double before Tresh's second home run of the night.

Noles Drop Second Game at NC State.
Greene homers; Messick ready for series finale.
RALEIGH, N.C. - Florida State brought the tying run to the plate in the ninth inning, but the Seminoles dropped a second straight game at NC State by a 6-4 score Friday evening. The series loss snaps a five-series winning streak for the Noles.
Florida State (28-21, 19-16 ACC) had guys on throughout the game, but FSU left nine runners on base and hit into three double plays. Mat Nelson had his ACC-best 60th RBI and threw out two runners on the bases.
Jackson Greene hit his second home run of the season to start the ninth inning.
Both teams started Friday with two runs in the first inning. Tyler Martin led off with a single, swiped second base, moved to third on Logan Lacey's sacrifice bunt and scored on a wild pitch. After Nelson reached on a two-base error, back-to-back singles from Robby Martin and Elijah Cabell gave FSU a 2-0 lead.
Austin Murr led off the Wolfpack with a single before Tyler McDonough tied the game on a two-run home run. Nelson threw out a runner and Conor Grady settled in two strike out the next two batters.
Lacey and Nelson teamed up to give FSU a lead again in the third inning. Lacey hit his 12th double of the season, down the left field line, and scored on a bang-bang play at the plate on Nelson's single.
Grady struck out two batters in all four innings he pitched, setting a career high in his 11 starts away from Tallahassee. NC State tied the game on a double steal in the third inning but Grady worked around a leadoff double in the fourth to leave with the game tied.
NC State had four singles against Wyatt Crowell (1-3) in the fifth inning, with just one leaving the infield, to score two runs and take a 5-3 lead. A run in the seventh inning scored on Luca Tresh's ground out.
FSU's first eight hits of the game came from the first five batters in the lineup before Greene's home run out of the No. 9 spot. Nelson, Tyler Martin and Robby Martin each had two hits.
Sam Highfill improved to 5-2 for NC State, allowing three runs in 6.0 innings. Evan Justice earned his seventh save, allowing a run over the final two innings. Murr, McDonough and Jonny Butler, NC State's top three hitters, finished 8-for-11 and scored all six runs.

Noles Win Slugfest to Wrap Regular Season.
Nelson ends regular season with 22 home runs; Greene reaches base five times.
RALEIGH, N.C. - Florida State hit four home runs Saturday, including two from catcher Mat Nelson, to win a back-and-forth affair at NC State 15-11 to close the regular season. Second baseman Jackson Greene continued to swing a hot bat, reaching base in all five plate appearances with three hits, two walks, his second home run in as many games and a career-high four runs batted in.
All ten Seminoles that had a plate appearance reached base at least once. The Noles drew nine walks and struck out just five times.
Nelson, the nation's leader in home runs, had a career-high four hits and reached base five times. Nelson, Tyler Martin and Greene each scored three runs as the Noles erased a three-run deficit entering the seventh inning.
FSU scored 10 runs over the final four innings and held the Wolfpack off the board over the final three. Clayton Kwiatkowski (2-2) allowed two walks and no hits over the final two innings in the win. In total, FSU used seven pitchers.
Florida State's 15 runs were a season high and helped overcome four errors in the field.
Starting pitcher Parker Messick allowed six runs in 4.2 innings, leaving after NC State hit back-to-back home runs to take a 6-5 lead. The Wolfpack pushed its lead to 11-8 with five runs in the sixth inning before the Noles scored the final seven runs in the game. FSU has won six consecutive Messick starts.
Nelson hit a two-run home run in the first inning for a 2-0 lead. Greene's three-run home run gave FSU a 5-1 lead and Robby Martin added a solo home run in the seventh inning.
Nelson's solo home run in the eighth inning tied the game before FSU scored four times in the ninth, including the go-ahead, game-winning RBI single from Logan Lacey. Lacey had three RBI on the day.
The ACC Championship will begin Tuesday in Charlotte, N.C. Fifth-seed Florida State will be paired with No. 4 seed Miami and No. 9 seed Duke in a pod and the league will announce game days and times Sunday morning.

Duke Tops FSU in ACC Opener.
Robby Martin hits 11th home run of year.
CHARLOTTE - Florida State dropped its Atlantic Coast Conference Championship opener Wednesday, falling 12-1 to Duke at Truist Field in Charlotte.

Bryce Hubbart (6-5) did not record an out in his Championship debut and Duke's first five runners scored. The Blue Devils (29-20) pushed its lead to 6-0 before Martin's solo home run in the fourth inning. Duke responded with three runs in the fifth and three more in the ninth inning to provide the final margin.
FSU used nine pitchers in the game, with Tyler Ahearn pitching the longest at 2.2 innings.
Tyler Martin led off the game with a double and was hit by a pitch. Elijah Cabell singled and Jackson Greene drew FSU's only walk of the game in the eighth inning.

FSU Beats Miami, Awaits NCAA Fate.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Florida State knew it was out of the running for the ACC Baseball Championship trophy before it took the field on Friday. But with rival Miami in the opposing dugout and an NCAA resume to pad, the Seminoles still had plenty of motivation.
FSU received a solid outing from ACC Pitcher of the Year Parker Messick before a rain delay halted play in the middle of the sixth inning, and reliever Jonah Scolaro stifled a Hurricane threat in the bottom of the ninth to secure a 6-3 victory before 3,655 at Truist Field.
FSU (30-22) will now await Monday's NCAA Tournament selections. The Seminoles have made 57 previous NCAA trips and hold the nation's longest active streak with 42 straight appearances. Miami (32-19) also has its sights on an NCAA bid, which would be the Hurricanes' 47th all-time.
Messick (7-2) yielded five hits and a pair of runs during his five-inning stint, striking out seven batters while walking one.
Florida State never trailed after grabbing a 3-0 lead in the first inning against Hurricanes starter Jake Garland (6-3). Robby Martin singled home the game's first run, and Dylan Simmons added a two-run double.
Trailing 6-2 in the bottom of the ninth, the Hurricanes pushed one run across against FSU reliever Jack Anderson and had the bases loaded with two outs. But Scolaro came on to face Anthony Vilar and caught the Miami sophomore looking on a 2-2 pitch for a called third strike and the final out of the game. The save was Scolaro's first of the year.
Miami's Raymond Gil hit his eighth home run of the season in the fourth inning, and Logan Lacey capped Florida State's scoring with his seventh homer in the top of the ninth.

Long Ball, Steady Pitching Lead Baseball Past Southern Miss.
Advance to Saturday's winner's bracket after 5-2 win.
OXFORD, Miss. - Four Seminole pitchers, led by freshman starter Parker Messick, combined to allow just two unearned runs and strike out nine in Florida State's 5-2 win vs. Southern Miss Friday to open the Oxford Regional. Florida State (31-22) scored the final five runs of the game on the strength of three home runs to knock off the Golden Eagles (37-20).
Messick (8-2), the ACC Pitcher and Freshman of the Year, struck out five and allowed seven hits. After the Golden Eagles took a 2-0 lead on a pair of errors in the first inning, Messick continually worked out of trouble to keep FSU in the game.
Trailing 2-0 in the sixth inning, Tyler Martin reached on a two-base fielding error on a dropped pop fly before Logan Lacey tied the game with his eighth home run of the season over the Seminole bullpen in left field. Two batters later, Elijah Cabell lofted a ball into the FSU bullpen for a 3-2 lead.
Southern Miss pitcher Hunter Stanley (6-4) allowed three runs in 6.0 innings.
After Messick closed out USM in the sixth, Hunter Perdue recorded an out in the seventh before Jonah Scolaro came in for his fourth career NCAA Tournament appearance. The junior lefthander pitched 1.1 innings, into the eighth, before Jack Anderson earned his fifth save of the year with 1.1 innings pitched.
In the eighth inning, sophomore catcher Mat Nelson, the ACC Player of the Year, blasted a two-run home run off Ben Ethridge that provided the final margin. Nelson entered the postseason tied with South Carolina's Wes Clarke for the national home run lead and both players hit their 23rd of the year on Friday.

Noles Can't Overcome Errors, Fall to Ole Miss.
FSU faces Southern Miss in elimination game Sunday.
OXFORD, Miss. - Florida State (31-23) will be playing for its season the rest of the way in the Oxford Regional after falling to host Ole Miss (43-19) 4-3 Saturday evening in front of 10,830 fans at Swayze Field.
Starting an hour later than scheduled thanks to a rain delay, FSU allowed two runs in the first inning, one unearned on a pair of errors around a single. Bryce Hubbart and the Noles settled in nicely after that, with Hubbart throwing 5.1 innings and allowing just three hits and one earned run.
Ole Miss starter Doug Nikhazy (10-2) was dominant, tying a school record with 16 strikeouts, but Florida State did tag the left-hander for three runs in the fifth inning to take the lead. Making just his third career start, center fielder Isaiah Perry notched not only his first career home run, but his first run batted in, on a solo home run on his 12 at-bat of the year. After Tyler Martin reached on a fielding error, Logan Lacey hit his second two-run home run of the regional to give FSU a 3-2 lead.
Hubbart's day ended after a single and hit batter with one out in the sixth. Clayton Kwiatkowski, one of the few Seminole pitchers with postseason experience entering this year's tournament, loaded the bases with a walk. He rallied to strike out Hayden Dunhurst before catcher Mat Nelson and first baseman Martin teamed up to pick off TJ McCants at first base to end the Ole Miss threat.
FSU's third error of the game, with runners on second and third with two outs, was a high throw from shortstop Nander De Sedas that plated both runners. For the series, five of the six runs FSU has allowed have been unearned. Davis Hare (1-2) pitched the final three innings of the game, striking out a team-high three batters with one hit allowed.
After Ole Miss retook the lead, FSU did not have another baserunner - Nikhazy struck out the side in the seventh before giving way to closer Taylor Broadway, who went six-up, six-down over the final two innings.
Florida State will turn to right-hander Conor Grady in a rematch with Southern Miss Sunday at 2 p.m. ET. If the Seminoles advance, they will face Ole Miss Sunday evening.
