FSU baseball sweeps doubleheader vs. Pitt
The Florida State Seminoles were perfect on Saturday, sweeping the doubleheader against Pitt.
The No. 12 Florida State Seminoles swept Saturday's doubleheader against the Pitt Panthers on Saturday at Dick Howser Stadium in Tallahassee, Florida. They improved to 33-14 overall and 15-9 in ACC play with the wins.
While they dominated the first game of the doubleheader, the second game was a battle with the Seminoles hanging on to get the win and secure the series. Here is how they won both games. Game 1: FSU 10, Pitt 1 Wes Mendes was sensational to start the day, throwing a complete game to earn the win.
He allowed just one run on five hits with seven strikeouts. He did not walk a batter, but did hit one. FSU's offense gave him some early run support, putting up four runs in the second inning to take control.
Nathan Cmeyla started the inning with a single before Gabe Fraser walked and Eli Putnam advanced them both with a sacrifice bunt. An error on a ball hit by Cal Fisher allowed both runners to score and Fisher to reach safely. John Stuetzer capped the inning off with a two-run homer, his sixth of the season.
