Forum: Talk Seminoles
|
Talk about a strange night at Dick Howser Stadium on Wednesday.
Florida State catcher Buster Posey, the ACC’s leading hitter and a candidate to be the No. 1 overall pick in next month’s MLB draft, not only struck out twice, but he didn’t get a hit, dropping his average to a measly .444.
Still, that’s not the half of it. The No. 3-ranked Seminoles (40-8) lost to Jacksonville, 7-6.
The last time that happened, Posey had yet to collect his first Little League hit. The Dolphins (25-24) snapped a 25-game losing streak in Tallahassee, knocking off FSU on the road for the first time since May 1, 1991.
“It was a ballgame that undoubtedly we played tired,’’ FSU coach Mike Martin said. “It’s one of those games when we were definitely outplayed. You have to give Jacksonville a lot of credit. We just didn’t play the kind of baseball we had played.’’
FSU returned home late Monday after sweeping a three-game series at Clemson. The Noles rested Tuesday, but it was back to work on Wednesday with a lackluster performance.
The Noles fell behind 4-0 after three innings, but came back to lead 5-4 after six. Jacksonville responded by scoring three in the top of the eighth for only its 11th win in program history (84 games) at FSU.
