It would be difficult to call any game in March a must-win, but for Florida State, the series finale and rubber match against Miami might fall into that category. After a mid-week loss to Mercer and a trip to Jacksonville versus Florida on Tuesday, the Noles could not afford to drop this series with the Hurricanes, especially after taking the first game on Thursday.
They took care of business.
A seven-run fourth, four scoreless innings from Peyton Prescott in relief, and every batter in the lineup reaching base contributed to the series-clinching win.
At the plate, the 1-2-3 delivered for the second time this weekend, combing for five hits and six RBIs, including an insurance HR from Max Williams in the eighth inning to suck the life out of Coral Gables.
