FSU Beats Tar Heels In Second Game Of Series


Top ranked Florida State (37-5, 15-2) held on to defeat No. 2 North Carolina (32-9, 13-7) 5-4 Saturday afternoon at Dick Howser Stadium to capture its sixth conference series in as many tries in 2007. Jack Rye hit the game-winning, two-run home run in the bottom of the fifth and relievers Travis Burge and Danny Rosen threw the final three innings to hand the Seminoles their 15th conference victory of the season.

The Seminoles tied a season-low for hits in a game on Saturday with six, but four went for extra bases including Rye's two-run shot in the fifth and Ohmed Danesh's first home run of the season in the fourth. The lead-off batter for FSU reached base in the first five innings of the game as four of those batters scored for the Seminoles. Rye finished the afternoon three runs batted in, his sixth three-RBI game of the season.
