TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – The No. 6 Florida State baseball team won its 12 consecutive game with a 10-1 victory over North Florida on Tuesday night at Dick Howser Stadium in Tallahassee, Florida.
FSU improves to 12-0 on the season and is one of six teams without a loss in 2025. The Seminoles are 12-0 or better to start a campaign in back-to-back years for the third time in team history, as 2024-25 joins unbeaten starts in 2007-08 and 2018-19.
Freshman first baseman Myles Bailey hit two home runs, junior right-handed starter Evan Chrest had a strong outing to earn the win and the defense made several fine plays, including a highlight-worthy play by junior shortstop Alex Lodise.
Florida State scored in the first inning and never looked back, taking a 2-0 lead after one and answering a one-run second for UNF with the next eight unanswered. FSU improved to 13-4 all-time against North Florida and 12-2 at home.
The Seminoles (12-0) scored 10 runs on 14 hits and the Ospreys (7-6) were held to one run on four hits with two errors.
Bailey homered twice, the second and third long balls of his career after he hit his first home run two games ago. He was one of six Seminoles with two hits and led the team with three RBI. He also scored twice, one of three Noles to do so. At the top of the order, junior right fielder Gage Harrelson and junior shortstop Alex Lodise each had two hits to extend their 12- and 11-game hit streaks, respectively. Lodise drove in a run and scored twice and Harrelson scored one run.
On the mound, Chrest made his third start and improved to 2-0 on the season. In a season-long 6.0 innings, he allowed just one run on four hits with three strikeouts and a walk. He retired eight of nine batters from the second-fifth innings, and 13 of the final 14 batters he faced got out, with another thrown out attempting to steal second.
The bullpen followed Chrest and allowed just two baserunners with three strikeouts in 3.0 innings.
For the 12th consecutive game to begin the season, Florida State scored first, with two runs in the first inning. Harrelson led off the frame with a double and scored on a sacrifice fly by sophomore third baseman Cal Fisher, and Lodise was right behind him on an RBI groundout.
North Florida got one run back to make it 2-1 in the second on a two-out RBI double, but a groundout ended the inning.
Bailey's first home run came with one out in the second, and Harrelson added a run-scoring single, as freshman left fielder BJ Gibson crossed home thanks to an error. That made it a 4-1 ballgame.
Including the final out of the top of the seventh, Chrest retired eight of nine batters, with a perfect fourth inning.
A Lodise sacrifice fly scored Gibson Jr. to extend the lead to 5-1.
Chrest faced the minimum in the fifth, with the help of a runner caught stealing, junior catcher Jaxson West to Lodise.
Bailey's second homer, a two-run blast to left, scored freshman designated hitter Hunter Carns and pushed the advantage to 7-1. The two-out shot came after Carns walked.
A 1-2-2 sixth inning, on just five pitches, marked the end of Chrest's outing. The highlight of the inning, and contending with Bailey for highlight of the night, was a fantastic play on a ground ball by Lodise, as he fielded a grounder well to his right, turned and threw the runner out at first.
The Seminoles made it 8-1 in the bottom of the sixth when junior center fielder Max Williams singled home Lodise, who led off the frame with a double. Williams also had two hits in the contest
Redshirt senior lefty Connor Hults relieved Chrest to start the seventh and fired a 1-2-3 inning with a strikeout to end it. He put two on with no outs in the eighth, but did a nice job to work around the jam and get a strikeout and a double-play groundout to end the threat.
FSU added two more in the bottom of the eighth, first with an RBI single up the middle by junior second baseman Drew Faurot that scored junior third baseman Carter McCulley, who led off the inning with a walk. With one out, redshirt senior pinch hitter Nathan Cmeyla scored an unearned run on a throwing error. Faurot and Gibson Jr. also had a pair of hits in the game.
Redshirt senior right-hander Joe Charles took over in the ninth and retired the side in order to complete the 10-1 victory.
