SOUTH BEND, Indiana – Freshman DeAmez Ross hit a go-ahead three-run home run – the first of his career – in Florida State’s 12-8 loss at Notre Dame on Sunday. Ross is the ninth Seminole with a home run this season.
Colton Vincent and Jaime Ferrer combined to add four hits and five RBI, while Treyton Rank had three hits and scored a pair of runs.
Ross’s home run came in Florida State’s four-run third inning, erasing the Irish’s 2-0 lead. The game was tied at 5-5 after Ferrer’s RBI double before Notre Dame scored seven consecutive and led 12-5 entering the seventh inning.
The Seminoles scored the final three runs, and Brennen Oxford pitched the final 2.1 innings without allowing a run, but FSU’s comeback fell short with a scoreless ninth inning.
