### Baseball Legend Reigns Supreme in Perfect Game Marvelous Performance
With the series already in hand entering Sunday’s finale at No. 12 Wake Forest, the opening weekend of ACC play for the Florida State baseball team was already a raving success regardless of the final result. However, there was still a chance to even further boost the resume should the No.
20 Seminoles complete the sweep of the Demon Deacons. Florida State (16-3, 3-0 ACC) sure looked like a team playing with a lot on the line when it finished off an eye-opening road sweep of the Demon Deacons with a 12-6 win in the series finale in Winston-Salem, N. C.
After managing just a pair of wins in Saturday’s 2-0 win, the Seminoles matched that total in the first inning alone of the finale. Eli Putnam opened the scoring with his third homer of the weekend in the second at-bat of the game. Kelvyn Paulino Jr.
added a second run when he knocked in Myles Bailey with a two-out single after he walked and took second on a groundout. Wake Forest finally scored in its 19th inning of the series on a leadoff solo homer from Javar Williams in the bottom of the first. However, the Seminoles responded right back with a two-run homer from Brayden Dowd (his fifth of the season) to extend the lead to 4-1 in the second.
Florida State plated another run on its third homer, a leadoff bomb by Myles Bailey (his eighth), to run the lead to 5-1 and then scored three more in the fourth on an RBI groundout by Bailey followed by a wild pitch which scored two runners. After scoring in each of the first four frames, the FSU bats went cold for a few innings, held scoreless in the fifth through seventh. But the pitching staff kept Wake Forest’s potent offense at arm’s length.
