Seminoles Thrash Wake Forest 48-0 to Prepare for Last Hurrah!

How about that for a statement? Until 72 hours ago, it appeared Florida State baseball (16-3, 3-0) did not have the ceiling to make a deep run this season. Sure, the Seminoles had strong pitching, one of the best hitters in the country in Myles Bailey and a trustworthy coaching staff, but that recipe still resulted in losses against their toughest opponents.

After a sweep of No. 12 Wake Forest to start ACC play, those concerns have been put to bed. Link Jarrett and company flushed their midweek loss to Florida with a dominant performance on the road, shutting out the Demon Deacons in the first two games of the series and winning all three games by a combined score of 24-6.

The three Nole starters this weekend, Wes Mendes, Trey Beard and Bryson Moore, combined for 32 strikeouts across 19. 1 innings with only one earned run between them. Offensively, the power finally came through for as FSU smashed its way to a run-rule win on Friday and put Wake Forest to bed on Sunday with a grand slam from John Stuetzer.

Perhaps no stat better explains the weekend than Florida State having 10 home runs this series, while Wake Forest recorded only 12 hits, of which five came in the latter innings of game three. Historic ⚡️ pic. twitter.
