FSU baseball: Offense carries Noles past Georgia Tech in ACC Pool Play
Thank goodness FSU baseball (40-14) has one of the top offenses nationally, as they carried the Noles to a 12-9 win over the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (31-22). FSU jumped to a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning behind a two-run home run by Marco Dinges. That was only the beginning as Drew Faurot, Daniel Cantu, and Jamie Ferrer hit home runs. Every FSU batter except Jaxson West had at least one hit. Conner Whittaker got the start and went two scoreless innings, allowing no hits and two walks. It was an adventure after that, with Georgia Tech threatening a few times, but FSU was able to escape with one run allowed until the seventh inning. That's when things got interesting, as Georgia Tech scored five runs in the top of the seventh and three runs in the top of the ninth.
