Wake avoids the sweep with a 12-inning win over FSU
by FSU Sports Information
The eighth-ranked Seminole baseball team was forced to play from behind once again and they almost pulled off their third straight come from behind win in the series finale versus Wake Forest. Florida State (32-8, 9-3) came back from a 6-1 deficit in the bottom of the sixth as Tony Thomas, Jr. capped off the comeback with a homer in the bottom of the ninth to tie the game but a seven-run top of the 12th was too much for FSU to make-up. The Seminoles fought back to record four in the bottom of the inning but Wake Forest (15-19, 8-10) held on and avoided a series sweep with a 13-10 win. The victory was the Demon Deacons’ first in Tallahassee in a decade and ended the Seminoles streak of nine straight wins in the series.
The loss was FSU’s fourth Sunday loss when the team had an opportunity
to sweep a series. Junior Mark Sauls (4-1, 1-1) took the defeat, his
first of the year after surrendering four runs in just 1/3 of an inning
of work in the 12th. Wake’s Kyle Young (3-1, 1-0) pitched four innings
in relief allowing five runs in picking up the win.

win when you make four errors,
