TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Quincy Nieporte broke a tie with his eighth-inning homer and top-seeded Florida State beat the College of Charleston 3-2 on Saturday in a winner's bracket game.
Carl Wise's two-run homer in the top half of the eighth tied the game and chased Florida State starter Boomer Biegalski, who scattered three hits over the first seven innings and struck out eight. A two-out double by Alex Pastorious preceded Wise's homer.
Dylan Silva (7-1) needed only two pitches to get out of the eighth and Billy Strode pitched a perfect ninth for his 14th save.
