ACC Network Extra – Doubleheader

Parrish struck out five without allowing a hit in the season opener against Maine, a combined no-hitter with Conor Grady and Chase Haney. Van Eyk allowed two runs in five innings against the Black Bears to improve to 8-0 in his career, while Pollock allowed five runs in 3.2 innings against Maine.

Youngstown State was swept in three games at Mississippi State last weekend.

WEEKEND RECAP

The Seminoles outscored Maine 42-9 over four games to start the season. FSU’s combined no-hitter on Opening Day, from Parrish (1-0), Grady and Haney, was the 10th no-hitter in program history and the fourth under head coach Mike Martin.

FSU followed that up with a 16-3 win in game one of Saturday’s doubleheader. FSU drew 14 walks, was hit by six pitches and had 10 hits in the win. In game two Saturday, Maine scored five runs in the fourth inning, including a grand slam, to take a 5-2 lead before FSU slowly rallied back.

Down a run to start the seventh inning, which was the final frame of the game as agreed to by the team’s prior to the season, Elijah Cabell walked, Robby Martin tied the game with a double off the wall and Mat Nelson won the game on a sacrifice fly.

FSU won Sunday’s finale 9-1 behind strong pitching from Shane Drohan (3.0 IP, 7 K), Antonio Velez (4.0 IP, win), Jack Anderson and J.C. Flowers (1.0 IP each).

Robby Martin led Florida State at the plate, hitting .438 with 9 RBI. Reese Albert and Mike Salvatore each had 7 RBI, while five regulars reached base in at least half their plate appearances.

OF NOTE

Three Seminoles knocked in four runs each against Maine on February 16, the first time in nearly 10 years that FSU had three players with four or more RBI in a game.

Robby Martin’s five RBI on Opening Day were the most for a Seminole freshman on Opening Day in school history.

MARTIN’S FINAL SEASON

Head coach Mike Martin became the winningest coach in NCAA history in FSU’s 3-2, 13-inning win at Clemson last season. Martin is just 9 wins shy of 2,000 for his career and is 1,991-713-4 overall in 40 seasons.

Martin announced in June that 2019 would be his final year coaching the Seminoles.
