If last week’s non-conference matchup vs. Mercer was a trap game for Florida State baseball, then this week was the get-right.
Timely at-bats, dominant pitching, and the long ball carried FSU baseball to a much-needed victory over North Florida on Tuesday, beating the Ospreys 10-2.
However, the beginning of the game did not look like the rest.
Link Jarrett turned the ball over to freshman Matt Sauser to start the game, but he struggled with a wild pitch, lead-off walk, and an infield single given up to his first two batters. He settled down and retired the next three UNF hitters, but he would only last one more inning as he gave up a solo shot in the second that gave UNF an early 1-0 lead.
