Second ranked Florida State (43-8, 21-5) had never lost a game this year when leading any time after the third inning; that was until Saturday afternoon. No. 16 Clemson (33-18, 16-10) scored three runs in the top of the ninth to take game two of the series 7-6 at Mike Martin Field inside Dick Howser Stadium. Mark Gildea posted his fifth three-hit ball game of the year going 3-for-4, while Ohmed Danesh hit a two-run homer in the third to pace the Seminole offense in the loss.
Walks came back to haunt Florida State as six Seminole pitchers combined to issue nine free passes. Of those nine walks, four came around to score. Luke Tucker (0-1) entered the top of the ninth looking for his second save in as many tries with the Seminoles leading 6-4. After getting Addison Johnson to groundout to second base to start the inning, Tucker gave up a single to Marquez Smith squeezed in between walks by Wilson Boyd and Andy D'Alessio. With the bases loaded, Taylor Harbin doubled down the left line scoring Boyd and Smith to tie things up at six.
