A six-game win streak did not give the Miami Hurricanes baseball team much momentum versus in-state rival Florida State on Friday night.
Florida State left-handed pitcher Parker Messick (2-2) struck out 10 batters while hitting three RBIs, and Miami (9-5, 5-4 ACC) dropped the opening game of the three-game series to the Seminoles 13-1 at Mark Light Field.
“Obviously not a very good start to the series and to the game,” Miami head coach Gino DiMare said. “They [FSU] played a very, very complete game, their pitcher [Messick] threw well. We knew he was going to be a little tough.
