Weekend in Arlington Concludes in Defeat
2/22/2026 7:52:00 PM | Baseball
ARLINGTON, Texas – The No. 16 Florida State baseball team suffered a 10-1 loss to Nebraska on Sunday afternoon at the Amegy Bank College Baseball Series at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.
The Seminoles (4-2) scored one run on two hits while the Huskers (4-3) scored 10 runs on 10 hits. Both teams left five runners on base and did not commit an error.
Sophomore first baseman Myles Bailey hit his team-high-tying second home run of the season in the fourth inning.
Playing at the home of the Texas Rangers for the weekend at the Amegy Bank College Baseball Series, FSU falls to 16-6 in ballparks that have hosted at least one full season of MLB play. Globe Life Field is the fourth big league park the Seminoles have played in and the second that is currently home to an MLB team.
FSU is 1-1 all-time against Nebraska, as the two teams last met in 2004.
Sophomore right-handed starter Payton Manca got the loss and is now 1-1 on the year.
Nebraska took a 3-0 lead in the first inning on a sac fly and a two-run ground-rule double. A hit batter put a one on for FSU in the bottom of the first, but the runner was stranded at second. The Huskers added two in the third to make it 5-0 game. A single brought in the first run and a groundout the second.
Bailey got the Seminoles on the board in the fourth with a solo home run, the team's first hit of the day. His solo shot into the left-center field seats made it 5-1.
Junior left-hander Trey Beard made his FSU debut in the fourth inning and retired the first seven batters he faced.
In the sixth, NU scored three runs on an RBI double, run-scoring single and sac fly to extend its lead to 8-1. In the seventh, a two-run home run made it 10-1. Florida State put a runner on in the bottom half, but a fielder's choice groundout ended the inning.
Junior righty Jake Echols pitched a scoreless eighth after he retired all three batters he faced in the seventh. Redshirt right-hander Rhett Vaughn made his collegiate debut and struck out the side in the ninth.
Two reached in the bottom of the ninth, on a leadoff single by freshman pinch hitter Kelvyn Paulino Jr. and a hit batter, but a strikeout ended the game.
The Seminoles return home on Wednesday, February 25, at 5 p.m. ET, to face North Florida to open a season-long nine-game homestand. Tickets are available at Seminoles.com/Tickets.
