No. 7 FSU Wins 10th Straight
3/1/2025 7:05:00 PM | Baseball
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Two home runs and a strong start by junior left-hander Joey Volini led the No. 7 Florida State baseball team to its 10th consecutive victory with an 11-2 win over Georgetown on Saturday afternoon.
FSU has won 10 or more to start the season for the second consecutive year, just the fourth time in program history the Seminoles have achieved that back-to-back feat, along with 1971-72, 2007-08 and 2018-19. Florida State is one of 10 NCAA Division I teams left unbeaten in 2025.
The Seminoles (10-0) scored 11 runs on 15 hits, with the help of home runs from junior center fielder Max Williams and freshman first baseman Myles Bailey. Volini and four relievers held the Hoyas (3-7) to two runs on three hits. GU committed three errors.
Volini struck out 11 batters in 6.0 shutout innings, both career bests. He gave up no runs on two hits and walked one. Volini retired the first seven batters he faced and the last seven, with six of his last seven outs via the strikeout. As he improved to 3-0 in his debut season at FSU, Volini surpassed previous career highs of 5.2 innings pitched and nine strikeouts.
Already ahead 3-0 – Florida State has scored first in all 10 games this season – Bailey hit his first career home run in the fourth inning, a two-run shot. Williams followed with a two-run home run of his own in the sixth inning, his third in 2025 and 17th of his career.
Williams and Bailey were two of four Noles with two hits, and they both had two RBI and Bailey scored two runs. Junior shortstop Alex Lodise and junior designated hitter Jaxson West also had two hits. Sophomore third baseman Cal Fisher drove in a pair.
The Seminoles took a 3-0 lead in the third inning. Sophomore Chase Williams led off the frame with an infield single, then stole second and took third on an infield bunt single by junior right fielder Gage Harrelson. Lodise then doubled down the left-field line to score Williams, and Fisher brought home both Harrelson and Lodise with a two-RBI single up the middle.
Bailey's long two-run home run to right-center made it 5-0 in the fourth. The first-pitch no-doubter scored junior second baseman Drew Faurot, who led off the inning with a walk.
Meanwhile, Volini retired the first seven batters he faced with four strikeouts. He left two on in the third thanks to an inning-ending strikeout, and stranded one more in the fourth, again with a punchout to end the frame. Volini struck out the side in the fifth and fanned two in a 1-2-3 sixth to conclude his night.
Florida State added to its lead with four in the sixth to make it 9-0. The inning started with back-to-back hits before a throwing error on a fielder's choice scored Bailey and Chase Williams. With two outs, Max Williams then homered to right-center to score Harrelson and cap the inning.
Sophomore left-hander Brady Louck pitched the seventh and did not allow a hit. Two walks and a hit batter loaded the bases, but a groundout ended the frame.
Freshman left fielder BJ Gibson singled home freshman pinch hitter Jace Estes in the bottom of the seventh to extend the lead to 10-0.
Redshirt freshman lefty Payton Manca then came in to make his collegiate debut and fired a scoreless eighth.
FSU added one more in the bottom of the eighth as redshirt senior catcher Nathan Cmeyla doubled in freshman third baseman Noah Sheffield.
The Hoyas scored two in the ninth on a two-run home run before junior right-hander Nick Greaney came in and got the final three outs.
