Noles Beat Wake In First ACC Tournament Game


Third-ranked Florida State (47-9, 24-6) got off to good start in its first game of the 2007 ACC Baseball Tournament posting an 11-2 victory over Wake Forest (31-26) Wednesday evening at the Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville. Senior pitcher Michael Hyde put together his best outing in over a month to win his 10th game of the season, establishing a new single-season career-high. Every Seminole in the starting line-up got a base hit including a three-hit performance by junior shortstop Mark Hallberg.

Hyde (10-2) pitched six solid innings allowing two runs on four hits as he walked four and struck out four. After a shaky first inning, Hyde settled down and scattered four hits over the next five innings to join senior hurler Bryan Henry in the double-digit win category in 2007. It's the first time since 2003 that Florida State has had two pitchers with 10 or more wins in a season.
