Florida State defeats Virginia 7-3, Jaime Ferrer leads the way with two HRs

Virginia gave FSU its first run when right-handed pitcher Jay Woolfolk walked James Tibbs III with the bases loaded. Florida State didn’t wait long to strike again. In the fourth inning, FSU outfielder Jaime Ferrer crushed a solo home run over the left field fence to give the Seminoles a 2-0 lead.
