It’s game day, Florida State fans. Before you get around to watching the Seminoles host Wake Forest, we have what you may have missed from a big Friday for FSU athletics. We’ll update the news and notes section throughout the day.
Lead Story
Florida State’s Garnet and Gold series wrapped up Friday with the Garnet team doubling up on the Gold, 14-7. The second of two scrimmages began with the Garnet leading 7-5 — the score from Thursday.
The Gold was able to tie it at 7-7 with two runs in the bottom of the 1st inning on a double from newcomer Tyler Cavanaugh, but the Garnet team answered with seven runs in the top of the 2nd. Jackson Lueck picked up where he left off Thursday with two more hits, giving him five over the two days.
Five FSU relievers, including Dillon Brown and Grant Stewart, combined to throw nine innings of 2-hit baseball, allowing just one walk while striking out eight. The Seminoles will wrap up fall practice on Monday against the Ontario Blue Jays.
Between the Lines
The FSU softball team also played one of its Garnet and Gold scrimmages on Friday with the Gold team winning 5-4. FSU also beat Chipola College in a scrimmage. At the Crimson Classic in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, the split FSU men’s cross country finished 22nd out of 30 teams. In the Nuttycombe Wisconsin Invitational, the FSU men finished 21st out of 30 teams. The FSU women finished 26th out of 31 teams in Wisconsin and 20th out of 26 teams in Tuscaloosa.
The FSU volleyball team needed five sets to top Virginia Tech on Friday night, winning 25-13, 25-21, 15-25, 24-26, 15-8. Milica Kubura and Christina Ambrose each had 12 kills to lead FSU while Cecilie Woie led the squad with 12 digs. Carol Rafferty finished with 11 digs and 20 kills for the Hokies.
