Florida State 3 Wake Forest 2
Winston-Salem, N.C. – What would a Florida State, Wake Forest series be without extra innings?

In Sunday’s series finale, Florida State defeated Wake 3-2 in 11 innings taking its 14th ACC series in the last 15 opportunities.

Buster Posey and Jack Rye led off the top of the 11th with back-to-back singles and moved up a base as the Wake right fielder bobbled the ball hit by Rye. Dennis Guinn stepped in a drove a sacrifice fly out to center scoring Posey for a 3-2 lead.
