Wildcats Stumble Against 11th Ranked Seminoles

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida State scored seven runs over the first two innings and never looked back in a 12-1 win over Bethune-Cookman on Tuesday night at Dick Howser Stadium.

Header How it Happened

Florida State (17-3) jumped out early, plating three runs in the first inning behind an RBI double from Myles Bailey and adding two more runs on a fielder's choice and a double play. The Seminoles broke the game open in the second, scoring four runs, three of them unearned, to take a 7-0 lead.

Bailey led the offensive effort, going 2-for-4 with a double, a home run and four RBIs. His three-run homer in the sixth inning highlighted a five-run frame that extended Florida State's lead to 12-1. Brayden Dowd added two hits and scored three times, while Eli Putnam also crossed the plate three times and drove in a run.

Bethune-Cookman (14-7) was held hitless in the game, managing its lone run in the fourth inning on a hit-by-pitch with the bases loaded. The Wildcats struck out nine times and drew three walks but could not generate any offensive momentum.

Florida State's pitching staff combined on the no-hitter, with starter Cooper Whited allowing one run over 3 1/3 innings while striking out six. Brodie Purcell (1-0) earned the win in relief, tossing 1 2/3 scoreless innings. Cole Stokes closed out the game with two scoreless frames.

Michael Benedict (1-2) took the loss for Bethune-Cookman, surrendering seven runs, four earned, over two innings.
