The No. 8 Florida State Seminoles beat the Duke Blue Devils 3-1 on Friday at Dick Howser Stadium in Tallahassee, Florida. FSU improved to 20-5 overall and 6-1 in ACC play with the win.
Wes Mendes threw another gem for the Seminoles, pitching 6 2/3 scoreless innings with 12 strikeouts on four hits and a walk. He improved to 6-1 with the win, lowering his ERA to 1.33. John Abraham pitched the final 2 1/3 innings, allowing one run on three hits with four strikeouts.
Neither offense was able to get anything going until the sixth inning, when Myles Bailey hit a leadoff double, took third on a wild pitch, and scored on a single by Kelvyn Paulino Jr. Chase Williams made it 2-0 with a two-out single, scoring Hunter Carns, who reached on a fielder's choice.
Duke got on the board in the eighth inning with back-to-back doubles. FSU turned an inning double play when Will Bavaro fielded a grounder at third and for the hitter at first, with Myles Bailey throwing it back to him to get the runner who tried to advance from second.
The Seminoles got the run back in the bottom of the inning after Paulino Jr. walked and was replaced by Gabe Fraser, who took second on a wild pitch and got to third on a sacrifice bunt. He came around to score on another wild pitch, putting FSU up 3-1.
FSU finished the game with just four hits, but worked six walks and used four wild pitches to score their runs. Duke finished with seven hits, but went 1-13 with runners on.
The Seminoles will try to win the series on Saturday in Game Two of the series. The game is set to start at 2 p.m. ET and will be on the ACC Network.
