FSU Baseball Continues Winning Streak with Thrilling 11-10 Victory Over Jacksonville University

In a nail-biting showdown at Dick Howser Stadium, the Florida State University baseball team showcased their grit and determination by defeating the Jacksonville University Dolphins 11-10 on April 1, 2025. This heart-pounding victory marked FSU’s eighth consecutive win, solidifying their place as a formidable contender in college baseball.

The Game Recap

Coming off two weeks away from home, the Seminoles were eager to make their mark and they did just that, racking up an impressive 13 hits throughout the game. Junior sensation Max Williams was a standout player, smashing two home runs and boosting his season total to a remarkable 13 home runs. Not to be overshadowed, redshirt-freshman James Hankerson Jr. added a much-needed solo shot to the scoreboard, showcasing the power present in FSU’s lineup this season.

Myles Bailey, a fresh face on the team, made his presence known with three hits in four at-bats, and juniors Gage Harrelson, Alex Lodise, and Drew Faurot each contributed two hits to the offensive frenzy. With such firepower, it’s no wonder FSU ranks second in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) for team batting average and an impressive seventh in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).

A Rocky Start

Despite the jubilant outcome, it wasn’t all smooth sailing for the Seminoles. They found themselves in a tough spot early on, falling behind by five runs in the first inning when Jacksonville came out swinging. Starting pitcher Hudson Rowan struggled with control, issuing three walks and allowing a run-scoring single that necessitated an early bullpen change.

In came Maison Martinez, who had to navigate some challenging bases-loaded situations. The Dolphins capitalized on the momentum and kept piling on runs, putting the Seminoles in a tough position. However, FSU refused to back down and started chipping away at the deficit.

Climbing Back

6-5 lead in the second inning, thanks to a mix of solid hitting and a wild pitch that let runners advance and score. Harrelson managed to extend his hitting streak to seven games, continuously stepping up to support his team when they needed it most.

Both teams battled fiercely, creating an electrifying atmosphere for the fans. As Jacksonville threatened a late-game surge, FSU’s junior pitchers Jacob Marlowe and Ben Barrett stepped in, skillfully shutting down their offense and securing the victory for the Noles.

Looking Ahead

With this win under their belts, the Seminoles now turn their focus to their next challenge as they are set to face ACC rival Wake Forest starting April 4, 2025. This triple-header will test their mettle, as they hope to continue their winning streak amid tough competition.

After the win against Jacksonville, FSU experienced mixed results over the weekend series against Wake Forest, winning 5-4 on Friday but falling 12-0 on Saturday and 17-2 on Sunday. This marked their first series loss of the season, bringing their record to 25-7 following a loss to the Florida Gators on April 8, 2025.

As the weekend approaches, excitement builds not only for the series against Wake Forest but also for the upcoming face-off against Virginia Tech on April 11, 2025. Fans are encouraged to rally behind the Seminoles as they strive to bring their winning spirit to both the field and stands.

Conclusion

With each game, FSU Baseball continues to thrill its supporters, and this victory against Jacksonville is a testament to their talent, teamwork, and tenacity. It’s shaping up to be an exhilarating season for the Seminoles, and we can’t wait to see what they accomplish next!
