CLEMSON, S.C. \u2013 The No. 14 Florida State baseball team defeated Clemson 6-3 on Sunday afternoon to win the series at Doug Kingsmore Stadium in Clemson, South Carolina.
\n\u00a0
\nThe Seminoles (36-15, 17-10 ACC) won their seventh ACC series of the season, with a home matchup against Miami from May 14-16 to conclude the 10-weekend conference slate. It’s the first time since 2015 that FSU has won seven ACC series in a 10-week season (minimum two games played in a series).
\n\u00a0
\nThis weekend’s series victory against the Tigers (30-22, 9-18 ACC) is FSU’s first at Clemson since 2014. Florida State improves to 87-79-1 all-time against CU and 26-41 on the road.
\n\u00a0
\nOn a warm and sun-filled Sunday afternoon, Florida State took a 3-0 lead in the second inning and led 4-0 after four. Clemson scored once in the fifth, seventh and eighth, but were held to single runs in each inning, and after the runs in both the fifth and seventh, the Seminoles answered the Tigers’ score with a run of their own the next half inning.
\n\u00a0
\nThree players had three hits for the Garnet and Gold. At the top of the lineup, freshman left fielder John Stuetzer’s<\/a> three hits were complimented by two RBI and a run scored. Redshirt senior catcher Nathan Cmeyla<\/a> had three hits with a home run, and redshirt sophomore right fielder Brody DeLamielleure<\/a> had three hits with an RBI while extending his hit streak to 14 consecutive games. The three hits today gave DeLamielleure seven on the weekend with five RBI.
\n\u00a0
\nSenior second baseman Carter McCulley<\/a> and Cmeyla both homered in the win. It is Cmeyla’s fourth and McCulley’s third on the year.
\n\u00a0
\nJunior right-handed starter Bryson Moore<\/a> earned the win to improve to 6-1 with his third quality start of the season. In 6.0 innings, he allowed one run on five hits with four strikeouts and a walk. Junior righty Brodie Purcell<\/a> pitched the final 1.1 innings to pick up his third save. He didn’t allow a hit with three strikeouts and one walk.
\n\u00a0
\nFlorida State scored its six runs on 15 hits and Clemson was held to seven hits for its three runs. FSU committed four errors to CU’s one and the visitors left 15 runners on base and the home team stranded seven.
\n\u00a0
\nThe Seminoles took a 3-0 lead in the second inning, beginning with Cmeyla’s leadoff home run that pinged off the bottom of the foul pole, just above the outfield wall. With two on, McCulley singled home senior first baseman Ben Barrett<\/a> before junior third baseman Cal Fisher<\/a> scored on a sac fly by Stuetzer.
\n\u00a0
\nMeanwhile, Moore worked around a leadoff single in the first and Cmeyla threw a runner out at second to help the southpaw face the minimum after getting the lead. A 5-4-3 double play again let Moore face three batters in the third.
\n\u00a0
\nMcCulley’s two-out solo home run to left extended the advantage to 4-0 in the fourth.
\n\u00a0
\nThe bottom of the inning featured another double play, 4-6-3, to end that frame. Clemson scored its first run in the fifth to make it 4-1. Moore got a strikeout and flyout to limit the damage.
\n\u00a0
\nFlorida State answered right back with a run in the top of the sixth to extend the lead back to four at 5-1. Barrett led off the inning with a single and scored the unearned run from second on a single through the left side by Stuetzer.
\n\u00a0
\nMoore followed with a scoreless sixth, getting a strikeout to end the inning and his outing.
\n\u00a0
\nThe Tigers made it 5-2 in the seventh, scoring a run on a fielding error. A groundout ended the inning with a runner on second.
\n\u00a0
\nFSU again responded immediately with a run in the eighth to return the lead to four at 6-2. Clemson made it a three-run game again in the bottom half with a two-out single up the middle that put the score at 6-3. With the tying run at the plate, Purcell came in and got a strikeout on three pitches to strand two.
\n\u00a0
\nPurcell did not allow a hit in the ninth, with a swinging strikeout to end the game.
\n\u00a0
