Florida State turned a disastrous first inning into another Howser Stadium celebration.

The No. 20 Seminoles erased a 5–0 deficit and walked off Jacksonville 7–6 Tuesday night, extending their winning streak to five games and improving to 9–2 on the season.

💥 Early Punch, Quick Response

Instead of letting the early avalanche bury them, Florida State chipped away inning by inning.

🚀 Key Offensive Moments

DeLamielleure’s solo homer in the third tied the game, while Stuetzer’s bunt single in the fifth helped give FSU its first lead.

🔒 Bullpen Locks It Down

Abraham’s late strikeout bursts kept Jacksonville from regaining momentum in the final frames.

🏆 Walk-Off Moment

With the bases loaded in the ninth, Eli Putnam delivered the game-winner; a hard-hit single to left-center on an 0–2 count that brought home Carns.

It marked FSU’s second walk-off win in three games.

📊 By the Numbers

The Seminoles have now won nine straight against Jacksonville and 12 of the last 13 since 2022.

🧠 Big Picture

Good teams win when everything is going right. Great teams win when it starts going wrong.

Down five runs before the first inning ended, Florida State never rushed the comeback. The bullpen stabilized the game, the lineup kept stacking pressure, and the rally eventually came.

That’s now two walk-offs in three games and the kind of resilience that often shows up in good March teams.
