TALLAHASSEE, Florida – Hosting the No. 1 ranked team for the first time in five years, Florida State could not cross the plate in Wake Forest’s 10-0 win Friday night at Dick Howser Stadium. Delayed an hour due to lightning, the game was played in a light drizzle for much of the night.
Wake Forest starter Rhett Lowder improved to 11-0 with seven shutout innings. FSU managed just four hits against the projected first round pick, lowering his season ERA to 1.52.
The Demon Deacons scored two runs in the second inning against Jackson Baumeister before a three-run home run in the fourth inning. Brennen Oxford pitched 2.2 innings against his former team, allowing just one run on one hit. He has allowed only three hits and a run over his last six appearances, spanning 9.2 innings.
Wake Forest tacked on four runs in the eighth inning for the run-rule victory.
