On Sunday, the Men’s College World Series featured a thrilling game between Virginia and Florida State. The Seminoles emerged victorious with a 7-3 win over Virginia after a strong performance.
The game began with Florida State taking an early lead when designated hitter Marco Dinges hit an RBI single in the fifth inning. This was followed by Jaime Ferrer’s three-run home run in the sixth inning, which put Florida State’s lead at 4-1. Despite Virginia mounting a comeback with two runs in the seventh and another in the eighth, Ferrer’s dominant performance sealed the win for Florida State.
Florida State showcased their offensive prowess throughout the game, with Ferrer hitting two home runs and shortstop Alex Lodise adding another point with a solo homer in the sixth inning. Pitcher Carson Dorsey delivered an outstanding performance for Florida State, striking out seven batters and keeping Virginia scoreless through six innings.
On the other hand, Virginia’s Jay Woolfolk started well on the mound but was pulled from the game in the fourth due to a knee injury sustained after Ferrer’s home run. Virginia’s defense showed moments of brilliance, including a run-saving catch from Harrison Didawick in the second inning. However, it was not enough to overcome Florida State’s solid defense and strong pitching that closed out the game with a double play in the ninth.
After losing to Florida State, Virginia was eliminated from the tournament while North Carolina and Tennessee battled for advancement on Tuesday.
