TALLAHASSEE, Florida – Sophomore Conner Whittaker allowed just three hits and struck out seven over 8.0 scoreless innings as FSU clinched the series against Mercer with a 9-0 win Saturday afternoon at Dick Howser Stadium. Whittaker’s eight innings were the most for a Seminole pitcher this season.
At the plate, freshmen DeAmez Ross and Cam Smith hit two-run triples, while James Tibbs hit a three-run home run, his team-high 14th.
After the first two batters of the game singled against Whittaker, only three more batters reached against the right-hander: a third-inning walk, a fourth-inning single and on an error in the eighth inning. Whittaker ended the sixth, seventh and eighth innings with a strikeout.
Ross started the scoring with his first career triple, plating Colton Vincent and Nander De Sedas with two outs in the second inning. Ross has an eight-game hitting streak, a career long and tied with Jaime Ferrer for the longest active streak on the team.

Barrett, from Orlando, allowed just three batters to reach base in his fourth career start. He forced a double play and stranded two other runners.
Neither team scored in the first five innings – and it took under one hour to complete that much – before the Seminoles took a 3-0 lead in the sixth inning. Jordan Carrion, a former Gator, opened the inning with his second hit of the game and scored on DeAmez Ross’s RBI double. After Jaime Ferrer reached on a fielding error, James Tibbs tripled FSU’s lead with his eighth two-bagger of the year.
The Gators got one back in the bottom of the sixth against reliever Andrew Armstrong, but two fly balls with runners on base kept the score 3-1. After scoring a run on an error, Florida took the lead for good with a three-run home ru
