The Stevens Scoop

      I know it's a little later than usual, but we're back with another edition of the Stevens Scoop. Jamie Arnold prepares to start on Friday Photo Cred: FSUBaseball via X     The now #10 Florida State Seminoles won their second consecutive ACC series this weekend against the BC Eagles. FSU's second rubber match win on the season on Sunday clinched this series and improved the Noles' record to 26-5 overall and 7-5 in the ACC, while BC fell to a 17-13 overall and 6-9 in the ACC. GAME RESULTS: Game 1 - FSU: 12 | BC: 4 Game 2 - FSU: 6 | BC: 7 Game 3 - FSU: 9 | BC: 2 RECAPS AND NOTABLE PLAYERS: Game 1 Scoring:     Game one took place on a very cold and cloudy day in Chestnut Hill. This played into the pitchers' favors as no runs were but on the board until the 3rd inning. The Eagles would open up the scoring for the day after a three run HR from Cameron Leary, his team-leading 11th of the season.     FSU would chip away at the three run lead w...

    The #14 Florida State Seminoles travel to Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, this weekend to take on the Eagles of Boston College. FSU enters this weekend series with a 24-4 record (5-4 in ACC play), and BC enters this weekend series in the middle of a five game win streak. The Eagles are 16-11 overall and 5-7 in ACC play.      Friday's game will be the 52nd meeting all time between these two teams, and FSU leads the all-time series 40-11. BC took this series a season ago two games to one at Dick Howser Stadium. Boston College will be sporting their Red Bandana uniforms to honor Welles Crowther and his heroics during the 9/11 attacks. The Red Bandana uniforms always seem to give the Eagles some juice across all sports so this weekend could be challenging.

     The #14 Florida State Seminoles took care of business this week at home. They now hold a 24-4 record going into their weekend series at Boston College.  Noles during the Anthem Photo Cred: FSUBaseball via X  JACKSONVILLE GAME RESULTS: FSU: 5 | JU: 3 SCORING:      FSU's first game of their five game week started as a pitching duel, as the score would remain 0-0 until the 3rd inning.       In the bottom of the 3rd inning, after a McGwire Holbrook double, his third of the year, and a Cal Fisher walk, Cam Smith would bring the first run of the game across. Smith grounded out to pitcher Blake Barquin, but since there was previously only one out in the inning, Holbrook was able to cross home plate.      JU quickly responded in the top of the 4th. Clay Hodges knocked a two out single into the outfield after Will Gale was able to reach third base by some sloppy defensive play from the Noles.  Holbrook celebrat...

      FSU moved up to #14 in D1Baseball.com 's top 25 ranking as of Monday, April 1st. The Noles will now move on to two, back-to-back, home games this week against Jacksonville, on Tuesday, and Bethune-Cookman, on Wednesday.
