FSU Clips Hurricanes


Despite giving up three homers and falling behind 6-2, the Noles had reason to celebrate at Mark Light Field against Miami. the Noles put together a four-run, ninth-inning rally to stun the Hurricanes 7-6 on Friday night.

A hot Tony Thomas Jr. hit a two-run homer over the left-field fence with one out that tied the game before Hallberg took a 2-1 fastball out of the park for second-ranked FSU’s winning run.

“That’s probably the best moment in my baseball career,” the transfer from Illinois-Chicago said. Miami mistakes allowed FSU to set up its first run of the ninth with a fielding error and then a passed ball that allowed Mark Gildea scored to make it 6-4.
