Joey Volini keeps BC in check, Drew Faurot hits 2 of FSU's 4 HRs in win

Joey Volini did not allow an earned run over six innings on Friday.

Joey Volini got into trouble a few times only to find his way out of a jam. It wasn't a six-inning masterpiece but the left-hander delivered a tone-setting start in Florida State's opener against Boston College.

Volini had eight strikeouts, including three straight to strand runners in scoring position in the third, and didn't allow an earned run in the Seminoles 8-2 win over the Eagles in the ACC opener for both teams on Friday night.

Stepping in for a second straight series to start on a Friday, Volini wasn't as sharp as a week ago. But he scattered four hits and two walks while throwing 88 pitches (57 strikes).

Volini improved to 5-0 and saw his ERA drop to 0.92. He has allowed just three earned runs in his five starts.

Drew Faurot hit a pair of solo home runs, one left-handed early in the night and later the other right-handed, while Alex Lodise and Myles Bailey hit two-run home runs. FSU (16-1, 1-0 ACC) accumulated 14 hits against seven BC relievers.

Gage Harrelson also went 2 for 4 with a run scored and two hit by pitches. Harrelson had a .494 on-base percentage coming into the night.

Vince Cimini had a double in the fourth, promptly stole third and then scored BC's run on an errant throw from catcher Hunter Carns down to third.

But that was all BC could manage until plating a run in the ninth. Volini worked his way out of minor trouble in a few innings.

Right-hander Peyton Prescott tossed two shutout innings, striking out three, walking one and hitting a batter but also hitting 97 and 98 mph on the radar gun consistently. Beck Milner had an RBI single in the ninth off Ben Barrett, who had two strikeouts.

FSU's pitchers combined for 13 strikeouts.

The Eagles had been hot, taking two of three in a series win at Virginia, but drop to 7-7 and 2-2 ACC.
