Five-Run Seventh Leads Noles to Series Win at BC
4/7/2024 3:02:00 PM | Baseball
BRIGHTON, Mass. – Florida State scored five runs in the seventh inning to defeat Boston College, 9-2, Sunday afternoon at the Harrington Athletics Village. FSU improved to 26-5 and has won three of four ACC series on the season; the Eagles fell to 17-13 and 6-9 in the conference.
James Tibbs III hit a pair of bases-loaded doubles, finishing 2-for-5 with five RBI in the contest. Over his six-game hitting streak, Tibbs is hitting 15-for-25 with five doubles, three home runs and 14 RBI.
Carson Dorsey started for the Seminoles, allowing one run on one hit with three strikeouts over 5.0 innings. After Boston College hit a double to begin the game, Dorsey did not allow another hit as BC took a 1-0 lead in the first.
FSU hit three singles in the fifth inning, capped by Alex Lodise's game-tying single. Boston College re-took the lead on a bases loaded hit by pitch in the sixth, one of four Eagles' batters plunked by FSU pitching.
Freshman Cal Fisher tied the game with a solo home run in the seventh inning, his third of the year. The Noles took the lead later in the frame when Cam Smith drew a bases loaded walk and James Tibbs followed with a double to center field to score two more runs.
Tibbs' three-run double in the eighth inning was again hit to the outfield wall, bouncing off the top just inches from his third grand slam of the year.
Brennen Oxford earned his first win of the year with 3.1 scoreless innings out of the bullpen.

OF NOTE:
- Starting pitcher Carson Dorsey allowed a double to BC's first batter. After that, he retired nine straight and did not allow another hit over a season-high 5.0 innings in his first career start. Dorsey struck out three batters in the no-decision; he also had his team-high fourth pick-off of the year.
- Freshman Cal Fisher earned his first career start at second base. He hit a game-tying home run with one out in the seventh inning, the first of FSU's five runs in the frame. Fisher has three home runs on the year and is FSU's only freshman position player to start a game this year.
- James Tibbs III hit two bases-loaded doubles, finishing with five RBI. Over his season-high six-game hitting streak, Tibbs is hitting .600 (15-for-25) with five doubles, three home runs, 14 RBI, seven runs scored and just one strikeout. In ACC play, Tibbs is hitting .422 with eight extra-base hits and 16 RBI.
- After four games out of the lineup, shortstop Alex Lodise hit a game-tying RBI single for the second straight game. He had two hits and finished with five over his two games against the Eagles.
- Cam Smith and Jaime Ferrer extended their on-base streaks with walks; Smith's on-base streak is at 41 games, tied with Devon Travis and Jayce Boyd (2011-12) for the 21st-longest in FSU history. Ferrer's on-base streak sits at 37 games.
- Brennen Oxford made his team-high 15th appearance of the season and 90 of his career. Oxford earned his first win of the year with 3.1 scoreless innings.
