Florida State baseball (15-1) lost for the first time tonight to rival Florida (16-2) in the first top-ten matchup of the college baseball season, 7-2. The Seminoles never gained a foothold in this game, constantly making small mistakes that added up, or not taking advantage of the opportunities they did carve out for themselves.
The concern coming into the year, not even this game, would be where and how many runs Florida State could manufacture.
The offense did not turn up in the biggest game of the season to date.
Florida State went down on strikes ten times, went 1-9 with runners on, and pushed across just two runs as the Florida pitching staff took the bat out of their hands.
