Mike Martin, Jr. Named FSU Baseball’s Ninth Head Coach.
Longtime Seminole assistant will take the reins after 25 years as a Seminole player and coach.

June 21, 2019

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Longtime Florida State assistant coach Mike Martin, Jr. has been named the ninth head baseball coach in FSU history. Florida State Director of Athletics David Coburn made the announcement Friday, elevating Martin to the head role that his father held for 40 years before him. Martin becomes the first new head baseball coach the Seminoles have hired since 1980.

“I have every confidence Mike Martin Jr. will carry on the winning tradition of Florida State University baseball,” said FSU President John Thrasher. “For more than two decades as an assistant coach, he has shown he is a talented recruiter, passionate competitor and respected mentor to our student-athletes. While Mike Martin Jr. brings his own strengths and style of coaching to the program, his values, integrity and love for this university will carry on the proud legacy of his father.”

“I want to thank President John Thrasher and Director of Athletics David Coburn for entrusting me with this special program,” said Martin. “I'm very honored and humbled to be able to lead Florida State. It's been a privilege to serve at this great University for the past 22 years and I'm excited to extend FSU's 70-year history of success moving forward.”

Martin has spent all 22 years as an assistant coach at his alma mater, focusing on hitting and recruiting. The former All-American catcher for the Seminoles has compiled eight straight Top 10 recruiting classes, while his offenses have a combined .300 batting average since 1998. Florida State has made the postseason and won at least 40 games every year under Martin, with eight College World Series appearances, 17 NCAA super regionals and six Atlantic Coast Conference titles.

“After serving under one of the all-time greats, we will combine much of what was learned from him with our new staff's style and ideas in our pursuit of championships,” added Martin.

Martin has coached 16 Major Leaguers, 16 freshman All-Americans, 21 first team All-Americans and 41 student-athletes who have earned first, second or third team All-America accolades. In all, 77 Seminoles have earned All-ACC honors and 65 hitters have been selected in the Major League Baseball draft during that stretch.

Martin has coached four Seminole hitters that captured National Player of the Year honors - Shane Robinson, Tony Thomas, Buster Posey and James Ramsey.

Prior to joining Florida State’s staff, Martin was FSU’s starting catcher from 1993-95, leading FSU to the College World Series in 1994 and 1995. He was drafted out of college by San Diego in the ninth round in 1995. Before coming to Florida State, Martin played high school ball at the Maclay School in Tallahassee and at Manatee Community College in 1992.

“We are very excited to have Mike Martin, Jr. leading our baseball program into the future,” said Coburn. “His commitment to, passion for and experience with the Seminole program are second to none.

“His plan for the next era of Seminole baseball is impressive. He knows what he wants to do and how he wants to do it. After traveling with this teamfor the last three and a half weeks, I have come away very impressed with his relationships with the players, his attention to detail and hisunderstanding of the great game of college baseball.”

Noles Fall to Niagara in Season Opener.
Three-run ninth inning leads Purple Eagles.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Florida State dropped its baseball season opener Friday, falling 3-1 to visiting Niagara at Dick Howser Stadium. The teams combined for just seven hits and struck out 29 times, but the Purple Eagles scored three runs in the ninth inning on a pair of hits and four walks against four Seminole relievers.

Alex MacKinnon (1-0) faced the minimum over the final two innings, striking out five. Bryce Hubbart (0-1) allowed a walk and a hit in his first action as a Seminole.

Florida State starter CJ Van Eyk was impressive through five innings, allowing just two hits and striking out seven batters. He also picked off a pair of runners, the second and third batters he has picked off in his career.

Niagara starter Tommy Bednarski countered with four shutout innings, allowing just a bunt single. He allowed four walks and struck out four batters.

The Seminoles struck first with a run in the fifth inning off Jacob Bruning. Tyler Martin reached on a fielder's choice and moved to third on a failed pick off by Bruning. Martin scored the Noles' lone run on a bunt single from catcher Mat Nelson.

Senior relievers Antonio Velez and Chase Haney threw just 29 pitches and struck out six of nine batters faced between the sixth and eighth innings.

In the ninth, the Purple Eagles scored two runs on bases loaded walks and the final run on an RBI single from Spencer Marcus. MacKinnon retired FSU's 7-8-9 hitters in order to end the game.

The Seminoles struck early and often Saturday, scoring eight runs in the second inning. That frame featured Brewer's three-run double as well as a two-run single from Elijah Cabell and a ground-rule two-run double from Robby Martin. Cabell scored four runs and had four RBI in the contest.

Freshman Dylan Simmons hit an RBI double in his first at-bat as a Seminole. He finished 2-for-2 with two RBI and pitched an inning in relief.

Carter Smith, a fifth-inning replacement at catcher for Mat Nelson, launched FSU's first home run of the season, a three-run blast to right field that provided the final margin Saturday.

In total, 12 Seminoles scored at least once, while 10 FSU players had a hit and 10 players recorded an RBI.

Drohan left the game after taking a line drive off his body, but head coach Mike Martin, Jr. confirmed that would have been his last batter of the game at 79 pitches. Doug Kirkland threw one pitch to end the fourth inning, then Simmons, Messick, Jack Anderson, Brandon Walker and Clayton Kwiatkowski each threw one inning of relief.

It was the first career appearance of Kirkland, Simmons, Messick and Walker's careers.

The win was also the first for Martin, Jr. as Florida State's head coach. He spent the previous 22 seasons as an assistant coach for the Noles.

First Inning Outburst Leads Noles Past Niagara.
FSU clinches rubber match vs. Purple Eagles.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Aided by seven runs in the first inning, No. 14 Florida State (2-1) beat Niagara (1-2) 11-1 Sunday afternoon at a wet and rainy Dick Howser Stadium. Conor Grady earned the win in his first start of 2020, throwing five innings of two-hit ball with seven strikeouts.

FSU sent 12 batters to the plate in the first inning, scoring seven runs against Steven Hospital (0-1) in his first career start. Freshman Tyler Martin's two-run double capped the scoring after RBI singles from Reese Albert, Robby Martin, Dylan Simmons and Nander De Sedas. Jackson Greene also drew a walk with the bases loaded.

Niagara had an opportunity to plate a run in the first inning, putting runners at first and third with one out after a double and an FSU throwing error. Grady induced a double play when Peter Battaglia lined out to Tyler Martin at third base and doubled up Michael Gabriele at first.

Grady struck out five straight batters in the second and third innings when he settled in. Starting with Battaglia's double play ball, Grady retired 12 straight hitters before Mike Brisson's single in the fifth.

FSU added a run in the second inning when reliever Kyle Smyth walked De Sedas with the bases loaded. Robby Martin hit his second double of the season in the third inning to give FSU a 10-0 lead.

FSU pitchers Chase Haney, Bryce Hubbart, Tyler Ahearn and Davis Hare each threw an inning in relief. The bullpen allowed two hits and struck out eight batters. The Purple Eagles run came on a Hare wild pitch in the ninth inning.

Nelson's 3-R HR Powers Noles Past Bulls.
Five FSU pitchers combined to allow just one earned run.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Facing its largest deficit of the season, No. 14 Florida State (3-1) scored the final seven runs of the game to beat USF (2-3) 7-3 Tuesday night in front of 4,005 fans at Dick Howser Stadium. Sophomore catcher Mat Nelson's three-run home run in the sixth inning broke a 3-3 tie.

Senior pitcher Chase Haney (1-0) earned the win with 2.1 innings of shutout ball. Florida State retired 15 of the final 16 batters faced, ending the game with perfect eighth and ninth innings from Jonah Scolaro and Doug Kirkland, respectively.

Nelson finished with four RBI after adding a seventh inning, bases loaded walk. Third baseman Carter Smith had two hits and a two-run single in the fourth inning that cut USF's lead to 3-2. Freshman leadoff hitter Tyler Martin drew a bases loaded walk later in the frame to even the game at 3-3 through four innings.

The Bulls struck first against FSU starter Jack Anderson. USF drew a walk to start the game and Dontae Mitchell came around to score after a pair of weak singles. USF scored twice more in the third inning when Mitchell singled and JD Dutka walked to end Anderson's day. Freshman Parker Messick retired two batters with the bases loaded, and FSU was primed to get out of the inning unscathed, but a throwing error in the infield allowed USF to take a 3-0 lead.

USF had just three baserunners over the final six innings, however, as the Seminole bullpen struck out 10 batters, allowed three hits walked just one in relief.

Elijah Cabell reached base three times without a hit (two walks and his third hit-by-pitch of the season). Robby Martin had a pair of singles in the game.

USF starter Nick Davila allowed a hit and two walks, but no runs, in 2.0 innings pitched. The Bulls used four relief pitchers, with Matt Marini (0-1) making his season debut and surrendering the tie-breaking home run to Nelson in the sixth. First baseman Riley Hogan was 3-for-3 for the Bulls; USF's other hitters combined to hit 3-for-31.

Cabell's Three-Run Homer Pushes Noles Past Bearcats.
FSU scores 10 runs over final three innings.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - No. 14 Florida State (4-1) notched eight hits and scored 10 runs over the final three innings, topping Cincinnati (0-4) 11-4 Friday night at Dick Howser Stadium. Sophomore left fielder Elijah Cabell's three-run home run gave FSU the lead in the sixth inning, while six FSU pitchers combined to allow just two earned runs.

Cabell finished with four RBI after drawing a bases loaded hit-by-pitch in the seventh inning. He was hit by a pair of pitches and also drew a walk against the Bearcats. Reese Albert and Robby Martin had a pair of hits in the late innings - Albert hit his first two doubles of the year, while Martin's two-run single pushed FSU's lead to 8-3 in the seventh inning.

Starting pitcher CJ Van Eyk struggled in the cold weather, with temperatures sitting in the 40s throughout the game. FSU's junior ace allowed five hits and a pair of runs in 3.2 innings, while walking four and striking out three. Cincinnati's first-inning run off the right-hander was unearned on FSU's first of three errors on the night.

Tyler Ahearn (1-0) earned the win, striking out one and giving up an unearned run in the sixth inning. In the bottom of that frame, Nelson singled and Albert doubled before Cabell's first home run of the season traveled 389 feet to right-center field for a 4-3 lead.

Cincinnati starter Evan Shawver did not allow a hit in five innings, with nine strikeouts. The Noles pounced against the Bearcat bullpen though, with eight hits, nine runs, four walks and two hit batters in the last three innings. Jackson Murphy (0-1) surrendered the home run to Cabell for the loss.

Jace Mercer, Cincinnati's leadoff batter, was 3-for-4 Friday with a pair of doubles and a home run.

Haney Earns Win in 100th Career Appearance.
Cabell homers, ties school HBP record.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Redshirt senior Chase Haney became the seventh pitcher in FSU history to record 100 relief appearances, throwing two scoreless innings in FSU's 10-5 series-clinching victory over Cincinnati (0-5). Haney (2-0) has pitched in five of six games in 2020.

No. 14 Florida State (5-1) used a pair of home runs, from Elijah Cabell and Reese Albert, to pull away in the later innings. Cabell homered for the second consecutive game and has seven RBI in the series. He also tied the FSU record with three hit-by-pitches Saturday and has been hit by a pitch five straight games and eight times already in 2020.

Leadoff hitter Tyler Martin had the first three-hit game of his career and Nander De Sedas had two hits, including a two-run single that gave FSU a 5-4 lead in the fifth inning that it did not relinquish. FSU's three runs in the sixth inning were on Cabell's home run, and the two runs in the eighth inning were on Albert's first home run of the season.

Cincinnati held leads of 2-0 and 4-3, but FSU countered to immediately tie or take the lead both times. After allowing a pair of runs in the second inning, FSU tied the game on an RBI single from Carter Smith and a sacrifice bunt from Jackson Greene. Smith's single scored Robby Martin, who was on third base after his first career triple.

In the fifth inning, Cincinnati retook the lead at 4-3 on an unearned run against Doug Kirkland. Haney replaced Kirkland and did not allow a run in the fifth or sixth innings as FSU stretched its lead to 8-4.

Florida State starter Shane Drohan pitched four innings, giving up four hits and three walks with seven strikeouts.

Antonio Velez allowed a solo home run in two innings pitched; Dylan Simmons closed out the game with a scoreless ninth inning, forcing three groundouts to De Sedas at shortstop.

Four Cincinnati players had two hits, including Griffin Merritt, who homered off Velez for his first of the season in the seventh inning.

Cabell's Grand Slam Caps Weekend Sweep.
Sophomore OF finished Cincinnati series with three HR, 11 RBI.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Sophomore outfielder Elijah Cabell continued to shine at the plate for Florida State, hitting his second career grand slam in the Seminoles' 10-1 win over Cincinnati Sunday at Dick Howser Stadium. Florida State (6-1) capped the series sweep on just five hits and despite four errors.

Cabell's monster weekend against the Bearcats (0-6) included three home runs - a three-run home run that gave FSU the lead Friday night; a three-run home run Saturday that gave FSU a four-run lead; and Sunday's fourth-inning grand slam, FSU's first hit of the game that capped a seven-run inning. Cabell had 11 RBI on the weekend and reached base at a .667 clip after getting hit five times and drawing two walks.

Conor Grady (2-0) earned his second straight win, allowing a run on three hits. Bryce Hubbart, Parker Messick, Jonah Scolaro and Brandon Walker each tossed a scoreless inning of relief.

Drake Batcho (0-1) did not allow a hit for Cincinnati, but walked six batters and struck out seven. FSU took a 1-0 lead in the first inning on two walks and three wild pitches from the left-hander, but immediately tied the game on Griffin Merritt's second home run of the weekend.

Batcho left the bases loaded in the third inning on three walks to escape trouble. His sixth walk of the day, to Dylan Simmons, started the fourth inning and was Batcho's final batter. Reliever Ben Vore walked three batters and hit two batters to give FSU a 4-1 lead without a hit. Garrett Schoenle gave up the home run to Cabell on his third pitch of the game.

FSU added a run in the seventh inning with two-out hits from Carter Smith and Nander De Sedas. The Noles scored in the eighth inning on a Robby Martin single.

Noles Surrender One Hit in 5-1 Win vs. FAU.
Van Eyk earns first win of year; Nelson goes 2-for-3.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - No. 14 Florida State (7-1) earned a 5-1 win over FAU (7-2) Friday in front of 4,249 fans at Dick Howser Stadium. Three Florida State pitchers, led by starter CJ Van Eyk (1-0), combined to allow just one hit against the Owls. Catcher Mat Nelson was 2-for-3 with a single, double, walk, hit by pitch and two RBI.

Aside from a rocky third inning when he walked three batters and hit Wilfredo Alvarez with the bases loaded, Van Eyk had his best outing of the young season. The right-hander struck out eight batters and allowed just one fifth-inning hit to Francisco Urbaez, the Owls only hit in the game. Chase Haney made his sixth appearance of the year, pitching around an error in the seventh inning. Antonio Velez needed just 20 pitches in the eighth and ninth innings to close out the game.

Offensively, FSU tied the game in the third inning when Tyler Martin scored on a double play from Reese Albert. Nelson doubled to deep left field in the fifth inning and Martin was thrown out at the plate trying to score from first base. Nelson gave FSU a 2-1 lead on Albert's RBI infield single.

Martin drew a four-pitch, bases loaded walk for a 3-1 lead in the sixth inning. Nelson followed with a two-run single against reliever Mike Entenza. Jacob Josey (0-1) allowed just two hits in 4.2 innings for the Owls but walked four and hit three batters.

All nine of Florida State's starters reached base safely via a hit, walk, or hit by pitch.

Noles Split Doubleheader vs. FAU, No. 3 Texas Tech.
FSU tops Owls 16-6, drops nightcap 6-5 in 11 innings.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - No. 14 Florida State (8-2) split a pair of games Saturday at Dick Howser Stadium, beating FAU (7-3) 16-6 and falling to No. 3 Texas Tech (10-1) 6-5 in 11 innings. Robby Martin notched seven hits in the two games, including a career-high tying four in the game against Texas Tech. Tyler Martin went 5-for-9 in the leadoff spot, drew a pair of walks and was hit by a pitch on the day.

Texas Tech tied the game in the ninth inning on a home run and took the lead in the 11th inning on a throwing error to secure a 6-5 win Saturday night.

Robby Martin finished 4-for-6 and Mat Nelson had a two-run double while the Seminole pitchers combined to record 19 strikeouts.

Shane Drohan struck out a career-high 9 in 4.2 innings pitched for the Seminoles. FSU took a 4-1 lead in the fourth inning on Nelson's two-run double and an RBI single from Robby Martin, but a pair of fielding errors in the fifth allowed Texas Tech to tie the game with three unearned runs.

The Noles took a 5-4 lead in the sixth when Cooper Swanson reached on a bunt single, stole second and scored on Tyler Martin's RBI double.

The 5-4 lead held until the top of the ninth inning, when Texas Tech's Dru Baker hit a one-out home run off Parker Messick (1-1) that tied the game.

Messick struck out five in 3.1 innings pitched and was still on the mound in the 11th inning when Texas Tech scored on a throwing error by Carter Smith, FSU's fourth miscue of the game.

Florida State loaded the bases in the bottom of the 11th but Smith flied out to deep center field to end the game. John McMillon (1-0) earned the win, keeping FSU off the board over the final 2.1 innings with seven strikeouts.

FSU relievers Chase Haney, Jonah Scolaro and Davis Hare each pitched scoreless innings for FSU in relief of Drohan.

Late Runs Push No. 3 Texas Tech Past Noles.
Elijah Cabell hits fourth HR.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - No. 3 Texas Tech (11-1) completed its two-game sweep of No. 14 Florida State (8-3) Sunday afternoon with a 4-3 win in front of 4,279 fans at Dick Howser Stadium. The Red Raiders scored a run in the seventh and eighth innings after Elijah Cabell gave the Noles a 3-2 lead in the fifth on a home run.

Despite having just two hits in the game, the Noles had at least one runner on base in each of the first eight innings. Both hits came in the fifth inning when Tyler Martin singled, Mat Nelson was hit by a pitch and Cabell hit his fourth home run of the season to give FSU a 3-2 lead.

Cole Stilwell hit a solo home run in the second inning off Conor Grady to get the scoring started for the Red Raiders. Tech added a second run in the inning when Cody Masters scored on a groundout by Cal Conley.

Florida State used six pitchers out of the bullpen - Antonio Velez (2.2 IP), Davis Hare (1.2 IP), Jonah Scolaro (0.1 IP), Chase Haney (0.1 IP), Clayton Kwiatkowski (0.2 IP) and Doug Kirkland (0.1 IP).

Conley tied the game for the Red Raiders in the seventh on a solo home run off Hare (0-1), his third of the season. Texas Tech took the lead in the eighth inning when Brian Klein doubled, moved to third on a wild pitch and scored on a sacrifice fly from Masters.

Austin Becker allowed two hits and three runs in 4.1 innings, leaving the game after Cabell's home run. Relievers Jakob Brustoski, Ryan Sublette (1-0) and Andrew Devine (save) combined to allow just two walks in 4.2 innings pitched to close out the game.

Tyler Martin Walks-Off Bears, Hands Mercer First Loss.
Davis Hare allowed one hit in 3.1 innings for the win.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - No. 14 Florida State (9-3) rallied from a three-run deficit in the eighth inning and won on Tyler Martin's walk-off single in the 11th, handing Mercer (11-1) a 9-8 loss Tuesday night. The 4-hour, 22-minute game ended on Martin's second hit of the night, scoring pinch runner Tyrell Brewer from third base.

Davis Hare (1-1) earned the win for the Noles, allowing just one hit and one walk, with four strikeouts, over the final 3.1 innings.

Mercer took an 8-5 lead into the home half of the eighth inning after Colby Thomas hit a two-run home run, his second of the night and the fourth of the evening for the Bears. FSU immediately responded with three runs in the bottom of the inning to tie the game. Logan Lacey scored on a wild pitch, while the tying runs scored on a throwing error from Mercer third baseman Angelo DiSpigna.

Elijah Cabell gave Florida State a 4-2 lead in the third inning with his fifth home run of the season. After the teams traded runs in the fourth, Mercer took its first lead of the night on Brandon Michie's three-run home run in the seventh inning.

Tyler Ahearn set a career high with five strikeouts out of the FSU bullpen, allowing just an unearned run in 3.2 innings. Seminole starter Bryce Hubbart went 1.2 innings, giving up a solo home run in the second inning.

Florida State opened the scoring with a pair of first inning runs off Mercer starter Josh Farmer. Mat Nelson doubled, Robby Martin followed with an RBI double and Carter Smith singled to score Martin and give FSU a 2-0 lead.

Hubbart struck out three batters in the first inning before allowing a two-out solo home run to Bill Knight in the second. Hubbart was pulled after a walk and Dylan Simmons induced a groundout to maintain FSU's 2-1 advantage.

After Thomas tied the game with a solo home run to start the third inning off Simmons, Cabell answered in the home half with a two-run home run of his own to give FSU another two-run lead. Cabell has five of FSU's nine home runs in 2020.

Each team scored a run in the fourth inning - Mercer's was unearned on an FSU throwing error, while the Noles plated a run on Tyler Martin's fielder's choice.

Mercer's Joe Molettiere (0-1) was replaced in the 11th inning after a leadoff walk to Nico Baldor. Lacey was hit by a Will Bowdoin pitch, Jackson Greene was intentionally walked and Tyler Martin's walk-off single scored Brewer, who pinch-ran for Baldor.

FSU tallied 11 hits and drew nine walks against the Bears. Tyler Martin, Nelson, Cabell and Lacey each had a pair of hits, while Tyler Martin and Cabell each had two RBI.

For the Bears, leadoff hitter Thomas had three RBI, scored three runs and hit a pair of home runs. RJ Yeager drew four walks and had a hit, while Michie was 3-for-6 with three RBI on his home run.

Van Eyk Shines, but Noles Drop Pitcher's Duel.
Junior RHP allowed just three hits in six innings.

DURHAM, N.C. - No. 12 Duke (11-2, 1-0) topped No. 14 Florida State (9-4, 0-1) 2-1 Friday evening in an ACC-opening pitcher's duel at Durham Bulls Athletic Park. FSU starter CJ Van Eyk (1-1) allowed three hits in six innings, but Duke's Bryce Jarvis (3-1) gave up just one hit in seven innings while dropping his earned run average to 0.67.

Van Eyk struck out six batters and consistently worked around runners on base. Jarvis retired the first 20 batters of the game for the Blue Devils.

Duke put together a pair of hits in the first inning, the second an RBI single off the bat of Michael Rothenberg with two outs. Van Eyk did not allow another hit until Wil Hoyle singled to open the seventh inning, the last batter the right-hander faced. Jonah Scolaro entered with a runner on first and got FSU out of trouble with a pair of strikeouts and a grounder to Carter Smith at first base.

Florida State did not have a baserunner until there were two outs in the seventh inning. Robby Martin reached after a wild pitch on a strikeout, Elijah Cabell followed with FSU's lone hit to left field and Reese Albert reached on a full count wild pitch. Jarvis got out of the jam with a strikeout to Smith.

Travis Girard took over for Duke in the eighth inning and struck out five of the seven batters he faced.

Duke scored an unearned insurance run in the eighth inning after Rothenberg reached on a fielding error and scored on pinch hitter Chris Crabtree's RBI double. The run proved vital as Tyler Martin walked in the ninth inning, moved to second and third on a pair of wild pitches and scored on Robby Martin's groundout. Elijah Cabell struck out to end the game.

No. 12 Duke Clinches Series.
Noles strand 15 in one-run loss.

DURHAM, N.C. - No. 12 Duke (12-2, 2-0 ACC) clinched the weekend series against No. 14 Florida State (9-5, 0-2), topping the Seminoles 4-3 Saturday afternoon at Durham Bulls Athletic Park. FSU stranded 15 runners in the game, including at least two in five different innings.

Shane Drohan (0-1) pitched into the sixth inning for the third time in his career, allowing four runs on five hits with just two walks. The left-hander struck out six Blue Devil hitters on 97 pitches.

Cooper Stinson picked up his third win of the year for Duke, allowing a run in five innings. Elijah Cabell's fourth-inning home run was the first run Stinson allowed this season.

Duke struck first with three runs in the third inning, the last two on a single from Michael Rothenberg. Cabell's sixth home run of the year, in the fourth inning, cut FSU's deficit to 3-1.

After a perfect fourth and fifth inning from Drohan, Duke drew a pair of walks in the sixth when FSU went to the bullpen with one out. Antonio Velez gave up an RBI single but struck out two batters to keep the deficit at 4-1. Velez pitched the final 2.2 innings in relief without allowing a run.

A day after having just one hit, FSU had eight Saturday, including Reese Albert's two-run double against Jimmy Loper in the seventh inning that made the score 4-3. Dylan Simmons singled to put runners on the corners, but Eli Herrick struck out Logan Lacey and Nander De Sedas to end the frame. For the day, FSU left 15 runners on base.

Thomas Girard earned his second save in as many days, striking out three in the final 1.2 innings.

Albert, Simmons and Lacey each had a pair of hits, while Cabell was on base four times.

Albert, Cabell Power Noles Past No. 12 Duke.
Anderson (2-0) leads 7.0 scoreless bullpen innings.

DURHAM, N.C. - No. 14 Florida State (10-5, 1-2 ACC) collected its first Atlantic Coast Conference win of the season Sunday, topping No. 12 Duke (12-3, 2-1) 10-2 at Durham Bulls Athletic Park. Elijah Cabell and Reese Albert combined for seven RBI and both hit a home run, while Logan Lacey had a pair of doubles and his first home run as a Seminole. FSU had 13 hits in the game.

Jack Anderson (2-0) earned the win with 3.2 scoreless innings out of the bullpen. Florida State's relief pitchers combined for seven scoreless innings, allowing just one hit and one walk. After Anderson, Clayton Kwiatkowski (1.2 IP, 4 K), Chase Haney (0.2 IP, 2 K), Parker Messick (0.2 IP, 1 K) and Doug Kirkland (0.1 IP, 1 K) pitched the final 3.1 innings.

At the plate, Cabell tied a career-high with five RBI, including his second grand slam of the season in the eighth inning. The sophomore has seven of FSU's 13 home runs on the year.

Reese Albert reached base three times Sunday - a double, his second home run of the season and a walk. Lacey had three extra-base hits, including his solo home run in the ninth inning that provided the final margin.

FSU took its first lead of the weekend in the first inning on Cabell's RBI single. After Duke scored a run in the first and second innings off starter Conor Grady for a 2-1 lead, Albert hit a two-run home run to left field for a 3-2 lead FSU would not relinquish. Dylan Simmons had a sacrifice fly in the fourth inning to double the lead to 4-2.

The Noles put the game out of reach in the eighth inning, scoring a run on Jackson Greene's bunt single and Cabell's grand slam.

Anderson entered in the third inning after Grady's fourth walk of the day. He allowed just one infield single and a walk while lowering his season earned run average to 0.87.

Robby Martin had a pair of hits and scored two runs. FSU allowed just four hits to the Blue Devils, with Chris Dutra recording two of them. Duke struck out 12 times, the 13th time in 15 games FSU pitching has struck out at least 10 batters.

Jack Carey (1-1) allowed four runs on eight hits as Duke's starting pitcher.

Velez's Career-Day Leads Noles Past No. 1 Florida.
FSU plays error-free ball in 2-0 win vs. Gators.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. - No. 16 Florida State (11-5) handed No. 1 Florida (16-1) its first loss of the season Tuesday, topping the Gators 2-0 in the final match-up at McKethan Stadium. Senior Antonio Velez (1-0) allowed just one hit with career-highs in innings pitched (6.0) and strikeouts (7).

Relief pitcher Parker Messick threw the final three innings, also notching seven strikeouts, for his first career save.

The Gators were the last remaining unbeaten team in the country.

The Seminoles scored a run in the first inning on a Reese Albert single and in the eighth inning on Nander De Sedas's sacrifice fly. Dylan Simmons led the FSU offense with a career-high three hits.

Robby Martin and Mat Nelson each had a pair of hits, and Tyler Martin drew both of Florida State's walks. The Seminoles were hit by three pitches.

Tyler Martin scored in the first inning after drawing a walk, moving to second on Robby Martin's single and scoring on Albert's two-out double. Florida starting pitcher Nick Pogue (1-1) threw three innings, allowing four hits and a run with five strikeouts.

Robby Martin started in right field and robbed a would-be Kirby McMullen home run to end the first inning. McMullen had the Gators' first hit, a double in the fourth inning off Velez. The next Gator batter to reach second base was in the eighth inning when Kendrick Calilao singled and advanced on a wild pitch.

Messick closed out the game with a perfect ninth inning, striking out pinch hitter Kris Armstrong to end the game.

The win improved Florida State to 129-121-1 in the all-time series. It was the first game in the series as a head coach for Mike Martin, Jr., after serving as a Seminole assistant coach for the past 22 seasons.

Albert’s 2 Homers Push Noles Past Redbirds.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – No. 16 Florida State (12-5) won for the third straight game Wednesday, beating Illinois State (7-9) 7-4 Wednesday evening at Dick Howser Stadium. FSU pounded out 14 hits, including a pair of home runs from junior outfielder Reese Albert, while Dylan Simmons broke a 4-4 tie in the seventh inning with a two-run double.

Chase Haney (3-0) pitched 2.1 innings in relief to earn the win in his 107th career appearance.

Albert doubled his season home run total with solo shots in his first and second plate appearances Wednesday. Both blasts came against Illinois State starting pitcher Jack Anderson – a tying home run in the second inning and a go-ahead homer in the fourth inning. It was Albert’s second career multi-home run game and first since the 2019 Super Regional against LSU.

The Redbirds struck first Wednesday against Seminole starter Bryce Hubbart on Tyson Hays’ RBI single. Hubbart pitched 2.1 innings, giving up a run and recording four strikeouts.

FSU scored three runs in the fourth inning to take a 4-1 lead and end Anderson’s day. After Albert’s home run, Mat Nelson pinch hit and lined an RBI double and Tyler Martin legged out an infield single that scored Nelson.

Illinois State scored a single run in the fifth, sixth and seventh innings to tie the score at 4-4. In the bottom of the seventh, FSU scored the final three runs of the night on Simmons’ two-run double and Nander De Sedas’s bunt single. Colin Wyman (0-1) gave up a hit and a walk to the two batters he faced.

Haney struck out four and did not allow a hit in his 2.1 innings pitched. Six FSU pitchers combined to strike out 15 Illinois State batters.
