TCU got a run in the fourth inning against Carson Montgomery, but the Seminoles got out of trouble in the fifth and sixth inning with inning-ending double plays. FSU had the chance to avoid trouble in the seventh as well, but TCU tied the game with a one-out RBI single and took the lead on a botched double play.
Montgomery surrendered one run in five innings, while striking out five and scattering five hits. Reliever Andrew Armstrong suffered the loss in defeat after giving up two runs (one earned) in 1 1/3 innings.
Notes:
- James Tibbs III singled and Jaime Ferrer was hit by a pitch in the first inning. The duo has reached safely in all seven games this season. Ferrer leads FSU with three HBP (tied with Nander De Sedas) after ranking eighth nationally as a freshman with 23 HBP.
- Ferrer’s 20-game on-base streak is the longest of his career and the longest for any active Seminole.
- Colton Vincent singled in the fourth inning to extend his hitting streak to 11 games, the longest career streak for any active Seminole.
- Center fielder Jordan Taylor made his first career start. Cade Bush drew a bases-loaded walk in the first inning for his first career RBI.
