Late Runs Power No. 7 FSU to Series Sweep, 11th Win
3/2/2025 3:43:00 PM | Baseball
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – A two-run seventh and one-run eighth helped the No. 7 Florida State baseball team to a 4-3 victory and series sweep of Georgetown on Sunday afternoon at Dick Howser Stadium.
With their 11th consecutive win, the Seminoles have won 11 or more to start a season in back-to-back years for just the third time in program history, with 2024-25 joining 2018-19 and 2007-08. FSU is one of seven NCAA Division I teams left unbeaten in 2025.
Florida State never trailed in the game, but for the first time this season it was tied after six innings and late-inning runs were needed. FSU scored two in the seventh to take the lead, and another one in the eighth to regain the advantage again, before closing it out in the ninth.
The Seminoles (11-0) scored four runs on nine hits with one error and the Hoyas (3-8) were held to three runs on eight hits with two errors.
The weekend sweep is Florida State's third in as many series to begin the 2025 campaign.
Sophomore right-handed reliever Peyton Prescott got his first win, retiring all four batters he faced in 1.1 innings with one strikeout. He entered in the eighth and got a line-out to end the inning after Georgetown had scored two to tie it. Sophomore left-handed starter Wes Mendes had another strong outing and did not allow a run on three hits with eight strikeouts and one walk in 5.0 innings. Mendes has struck out a career-high eight batters in all three starts in 2025.
Offensively, junior right fielder Gage Harrelson had two hits and three RBI to lead the team as he extended his hit streak to 11 consecutive games. A pair of freshmen, first baseman Myles Bailey and left fielder BJ Gibson, also each had two hits, with Bailey driving in the winning run and Gibson scoring once. Junior shortstop Alex Lodise also had a hit to extend his hit streak to 10 games.
As they have done every game this season, the Seminoles scored first with a run in the second. With the bases loaded and one out, Harrelson reached on a fielder's choice that scored junior second baseman Drew Faurot.
For Mendes, two reached in the first, but freshman catcher Hunter Carns threw out a runner attempting to steal second to help the sophomore lefty strand one in the opening frame. Mendes was perfect in the second and left one on in the third. He struck out two in the fourth, with the second ending the inning and leaving a runner on third.
Mendes fanned two more to cap his outing in a 1-2-3 fifth inning.
FSU put two on with one out in the fifth, but a hard-hit double play lineout and a groundout ended the threat.
Georgetown tied the game with a one-out solo home run off the Florida State bullpen in the top of the sixth to make it 1-1.
The Hoyas threatened to take the lead in the top of the seventh, but junior right-hander Ben Barrett came in with no outs and two on and got a strikeout and groundout to end the inning and leave runners on second and third.
The Seminoles quickly responded to take the lead in the bottom of the inning, as Harrelson drove in two with the bases loaded to make it 3-1. Two walks and a single awaited Harrelson with no outs, and a single through the left side brought in Faurot and Gibson Jr.
Georgetown answered to re-tie the contest in the top of the eighth with two runs. The first came on an RBI single with runners on second and third and the second on a groundout. Prescott relieved Barrett and got a lineout to end the threat and leave a runner on second.
Florida State had an answer of its own in the bottom of the eighth, as Bailey singled home junior designated hitter Jaxson West with two outs. West led off the frame with a walk, took second on a base hit and was on third after a fielder's choice. He scored the go-ahead run, and eventual winning run, on Bailey's base hit to center to make it 4-3.
In the ninth, Prescott fired a 1-2-3 inning and got a swinging strikeout to finish off the win. He improved to 6-6 in his career while collecting his first victory as a Seminole,.
Florida State hosts a pair of games on Tuesday and Wednesday. The team's first home midweek contests also are the only time that two midweek outings are scheduled. The week will begin against North Florida on Tuesday, March 4, at 6 p.m. ET. Twenty-two hours later, Bethune-Cookman comes to Dick Howser Stadium on Wednesday, March 5, at 4 p.m.
