Florida State came into this week needing to pick up the pieces.
A three-game sweep in Clemson, capped off by two blown leads, gave FSU its first dose of humble pie for the season. Link Jarrett said on Wednesday that the Seminoles did not need ra-ra speeches to galvanize the group. Florida State let their actions speak louder than words.
On the long bus ride to Jacksonville, senior Daniel Cantu took it upon himself to make the journey worthwhile. He made a significant impact, driving in the game's first runs with a bases-clearing three RBI double, giving FSU an early 3-0 lead.
