(WCTV) &#8211; After rainy weather pushed first pitch back over two hours, it was 10 seeded Florida State who ended up all wet. The Seminoles let the St. John\u2019s Red Storm score three unanswered in the final two innings to knock off the hosts of the Tallahassee Regional, 6-5.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text text-start\">FSU started the game hot, with a leadoff shot from John Stuetzer on the first pitch to a Seminole batter in the bottom of the first. SJU would answer with a solo home run of its own in the second, but the \u2018Noles would respond right away with Gabe Fraser\u2019s first homer of the year to lead, 2-1 after two. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text text-start\">The FSU lead would grow to 5-3 until the eighth when the Seminole bullpen would allow runners on the corners with no outs before a John Abraham wild pitch and a Hunter Carns passed ball would tie the game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text text-start\">The Johnnies would take the lead in the top of the ninth following an RBI single from Jayder Raifstanger to eventually pull off the upset, 6-5.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text text-start\">FSU now looks to keep its season alive on Saturday where it will face the loser of Friday night\u2019s contest between Northern Illinois and Coastal Carolina.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">To keep up with the latest news as it develops, follow WCTV on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/WCTV.tv\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/wctvnews\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@WCTVEyewitnessNews\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/nextdoor.com\/page\/wctv\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/nextdoor.com\/page\/wctv\/\" target=\"_blank\">Nextdoor<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/nextdoor.com\/page\/wctv\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/nextdoor.com\/page\/wctv\/\" target=\"_blank\"> <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WCTV\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">X<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WCTV\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Have a news tip or see an error? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wctv.tv\/2026\/05\/30\/late-surge-pushes-st-johns-past-fsu-baseball-regional-upset\/mailto:news@wctv.tv?subject=Correction%20Needed\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Write to us here<\/a>.
