The No. 8 Florida State Seminoles saw their regular‑season campaign close with a 7‑4 defeat at the hands of the Miami Hurricanes, finishing the year at 38‑16 overall and 19‑11 in ACC play.
Key Moments in a Tight Contest
Nathan Cmeyla opened the scoring with a deep center‑field homer in the bottom of the second, while Gabriel Milano’s seventh‑inning blast drove in Dylan Dubovik to put Miami ahead 2‑1. Derek Williams answered with a solo shot in the top of the eighth, and Alex Sosa added another run for the Hurricanes with his own homer.
Florida State’s offense rallied later, with Hunter Carns delivering a single that plated Brayden Dowd, and Vance Sheahan’s ninth‑inning single brought Fabio Peralta home. A subsequent throwing error by Cmeyla allowed Sheahan to steal home, extending the lead.
The Seminoles managed a few more scores, including a sacrifice fly from Cmeyla that brought Brody DeLamielleure across, but Miami’s Noah Sheffield capped the game with a solo homer to seal a 7‑4 final tally.
Despite the loss, the Seminoles close the regular season with a 27‑4 record at home and will enter the ACC Baseball Tournament as the No. 3 seed, hoping to rebound in the quarterfinals.
