In front of a stunned Dick Howser Stadium crowd, MacNamee’s second home run of the weekend scored Jake Mangum and Hunter Stovall.

FSU took a 1-0 lead in the third inning. Nick Derr doubled to right field, his eighth of the season, advanced to third base on a wild pitch by Small and scored when catcher Marshall Gilbert’s throw to third base went into left field.
The Bulldogs got their first baserunner on a bloop single by nine-hole hitter Jordan Anderson in the third inning, but Parrish forced a line out against Mangum to end the frame.
J.C. Flowers and Mike Salvatore both singled in the fifth inning before Rhett Aplin’s two-out RBI single scored Flowers and doubled FSU’s lead to 2-0.
MSU reached second base for the first time on MacNamee’s infield single and wild pitch from Parrish, but Luke Alexander lined to right field and Steven Wells threw out MacNamee at second base for the inning-ending double play. MacNamee was the only player on either team with two hits.
Parrish struck out the final two batters of the eighth inning as FSU took its 2-0 lead to the ninth inning when the game was delayed for two-and-a-half hours. Self allowed a walk and hit a batter in the ninth inning without allowing a run.
Parrish walked Mangum on a full count before forcing a pop up and strikeout to get two outs. Stovall also walked on a full count before MacNamee took a 1-2 pitch over the left field wall for the victory.
