Florida State Baseball caps off special day with series-clinching win over Pitt, 5-3
Buster Posey Day at Dick Howser Stadium could not have gone much better for the Florida State baseball team.
After Posey was honored with a pregame jersey retirement ceremony, the No. 21 Seminoles went out and made relatively quick work of ACC opponent Pitt, 5-3.
With the win, Florida State clinched the series victory and will go for the sweep on Sunday.
The Seminoles jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the first inning, thanks to consecutive RBI hits from Jaime Ferrer, Jordan Carrion and Cam Smith.
From there, Florida State ace left-hander Wyatt Crowell cruised through a career-high six shutout innings. He established a new career high with 10 strikeouts, while walking four and giving up three hits.
