FSU strikes out 14 times in loss to Mercer
As sparkling as Florida State's record has been on weekends, the Seminoles' fate in midweek games as taken a startling turn.
A week ago, FSU lost Evan Chrest to an apparent arm injury in the second inning. On Tuesday, started Payton Manca — who didn't make it out of the second inning.
Bradley Frye and Brad Baughcum hit two-run home runs as Mercer jumped on FSU early and took an 9-3 win over the Seminoles.
It was FSU's second straight midweek loss. The Seminoles used eight pitchers on the night, allowing eight earned runs on nine hits and eight walks.
Mercer right-hander Jeb Johnson held the Seminoles to a pair of singles before Max Williams crushed a no-doubt three-run home run to right field in the sixth inning to cut the Bears' lead to 7-3. Johnson had a career-high nine strikeouts.
FSU batters struck out 14 times.
Alex Lodise went 1 for 4 with a run scored as he extended his on-base streak to 19 games.
Up next
FSU will travel to Miami on Wednesday for a three-game series that begins with the Hurricanes on Thursday at 7 p.m. (ACC Network).
