That was the last time that Florida State won a regional matchup after trailing for six innings.
Tonight, after the Seminoles rallied around the emotion of a Link Jarrett ejection and the tenacity of a career showing by Wes Mendes, that clock has been reset.
Florida State didn’t make it look pretty for the majority of the matchup, leaning on Mendes’ arm as the bats struggled to get going, but in the bottom of the eighth, Max Williams came up clutch once more to give the Seminoles their first lead of the night — and the team never looked back.
