4/26/2019 10:48:00 PM | Baseball
Wake Forest and Florida State were separated by just a run heading into the fifth, but the Seminoles took control and won 13-2.
The Demon Deacons (25-18, 11-11 ACC) had no answer for Seminoles (27-14, 13-9 ACC) starting pitcher Drew Parrish. He struck out 10 over 7.0 shutout innings, conceding just three hits and a walk to improve to 6-3.
Brendan Tinsman was the only Deacon to reach base twice via a double and a walk, while Patrick Frick also hit a double. Michael Turconi and Jake Mueller had the only RBIs for Wake Forest in the top of the eighth.
Florida State took the lead in the bottom of the fifth with a bases-loaded hit-by-pitch. A two-run homer by Robby Martin in the fifth sparked the Seminoles' rally as they put the game out of reach.
J.C. Flowers was 3-for-3 with a triple, walk and two RBIs, while Reese Albert and Martin each added two hits for FSU.
Game two of the series is set for Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m. on ACC Network Extra.
