Virginia Tech 6-2, No. 8 Florida State 0-5 Game 1 box Game 2 box
In Tallahassee, Fla., Florida State coach Mike Martin earned the 2,000th win of his career as the Seminoles won the second game of a doubleheader with Virginia Tech. Martin, the winningest coach in NCAA baseball history, became the first coach in NCAA sport to post 2,000 wins. An incredible model of consistency, Martin’s teams have won 40 or more games in each of his seasons – he’ll retire at the end of this season, his 40th leading the Seminoles. After dropping the first game of their doubleheader with the Hokies, the Seminoles took a 3-2 lead in the bottom of the seventh on Drew Mendoza’s RBI single. J.C. Flowers added a two-run homer as FSU (2-1, 13-1) captured the series. In the first game, Chris Gerard allowed one hit and struck out 10 in seven scoreless innings for Virginia Tech (1-2, 9-5).
