With how close and low-scoring the first two games of the Corvallis Super Regional were, a blowout wasn’t exactly on the radar for most heading into Sunday’s do-or-die matchup between the Florida State Seminoles and Oregon State Beavers.
But when FSU has felt itself slipping into a hole this season, that has on more than a few occasions led to the ground giving way to a full-on sinkhole — with the final example coming at the most inopportune time.
The catalyst to the blowout can be argued as a fielder’s choice in the bottom of the first, one that got an out at second but put runners on the corners as a double-play failed to come into fruition.
