Perfect 10: FSU Baseball improves to 10-0 with 11-2 win over Georgetown
The competition will ramp up soon enough. For now, the FSU baseball team is doing exactly what it’s supposed to do against inferior competition: Destroying it.
The Seminoles improved to 10-0 on the season Saturday with an 11-2 win over Georgetown at Dick Howser Stadium. It wraps up the third straight series win for FSU, which will go for another sweep on Sunday in the finale against the Hoyas.
Starter Joey Volini pitched six scoreless innings, allowing two hits and striking out 11 to pick up the victory on the mound for Florida State.
He got all the run support he would need from the FSU offense in a three-run third inning when Alex Lodise doubled in a run and then Cal Fisher followed with a two-run single up the middle.
The lead only increased from there.
Freshman Myles Bailey launched a two-run homer in the fourth inning — well over the screen in right field — for the first home run of his career to make it 5-0. His next at-bat, he ripped a double down the right-field line to help spark a four-run outburst in the sixth.
The big blow of that inning was a 430-foot, two-run blast from Max Williams. It was the third homer of the season for the FSU All-America candidate, and it was an absolute no-doubter.
BJ Gibson, who came into the game to replace starting left fielder Chase Williams (who appeared to injure himself scoring from second on a wild pitch) singled in a run in the seventh to make the score 10-0. Nathan Cmeyla then plated the Seminoles’ final run with a pinch-hit RBI double to left in the eighth.
Georgetown’s pitching staff has struggled all season long, and it didn’t exactly get right on Saturday against the Seminoles’ lineup.
FSU pounded out 15 hits, including five extra-base hits, to pick up its 10th win of the season.
Georgetown scored two runs in the ninth off reliever David Barrett, but that was all for the Hoyas, who had just three hits in the game and just eight for the series so far.
Wes Mendes will be on the mound for the Seminoles on Sunday looking to finish off the third series sweep of the season. First pitch is scheduled for 11 a.m.
