The Florida State Seminoles destroy the Ohio State Buckeyes 37-6 en route to setting the NCAA Playoff record for Runs and Doubles
After a hard fought battle with the Georgia Bulldogs, Ohio State had nothing left. They started Jared Strayer, a seldom used reliever who had only thrown 5 innings in conference play. He never recorded an out. The Noles chased him in the first inning, scoring seven runs on 4 hits, two walks, and a HBP. The subsequent relief pitchers offered nothing of the sort, as FSU pounded Ohio State 37-6. The Buckeyes used seven pitchers in the contest, and FSU amassed 47 baserunners (37 hits, 7 walks, 3 HBP). FSU led 32-0 in the 5th inning when the Seminole manager Mike Martin got together with the Ohio State manager and the home plate umpire, to suggest that the game be shortened to 7 innings. Ohio State agreed, but the request was apparently denied by the NCAA. FSU called off the dogs after the 5th, sending their bullpen to the plate, but even those guys put 5 additional runs on the board in the final 4 innings, setting an NCAA playoff record for runs at 37, breaking the old record of 35 held by Miami (Fl). The 'Noles 15 doubles were also an NCAA record.
Florida State had more than a Mile of baserunning.
FSU finished the Tallahassee Regional averaging more than 17 runs over the three game set. The 'Noles are now off to the super regional, the destination of which is yet to be determined.
FSU is now 2-0, defeating Marist on Friday and Georgia on Saturday. Ohio State is now 2-1, losing to Georgia, beating Marist, and then beating Georgia earlier today, 13-6.
Both teams feature impressive offenses. Ohio State, however, is quite drained in the pitching department. Their top 3 starters, Wimmers, Best, and Wolosiansky are unavailable, and those were the only three pitchers who started a game all year in conference. Additionally, their All-Conference (all-America?) closer is unavailable after throwing three innings in today's early elimination game. They will start Jared Strayer, who has not started a game this year.
Here are his numbers:
| Player | era | w-l | app | ip | r | er | so | bb | 2b | 3b | hr | b/avg | wp | hbp | |
| Jared Strayer | Total | 8.38 | 0-1 | 19 | 29 | 36 | 27 | 29 | 18 | 10 | 1 | 1 | 0.315 | 4 | 7 |
| Conference | 1.8 | 0-0 | 5 | 5 | 1 | 1 | 5 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0.222 | 0 | 0 |
That's right, 5 innings pitched in conference play. Suffice to say, this is not who Ohio State thought they would throw in this game. FSU needs to be patient, draw their walks, work the attrition game and run up that pitch count! Oh, and sitting on a fat fastball isn't a bad idea either.
As for FSU, thanks to the heroic effort from Sean Gilmartin, have their entire bullpen available. The 'Noles will throw Mike McGee. Here's McGee.
| Mike McGee | ERA | W-L | GS | IP | H | ER | SO | BB | 2B+3B+HR | B/AVG |
| Total | 4.22 | 5-2 | 12 | 64 | 58 | 30 | 64 | 41 | 16 | 0.245 |
| Conference | 4.17 | 3-1 | 8 | 41 | 35 | 19 | 34 | 25 | 11 | 0.233 |
Mike has also given up 9 unearned runs in his 64 innings. He's a good pitcher, and arguably better than FSU's #2 starter, Bush. I recently remarked that we really have one #1 starter and two "2.5" starters. OSU would kill to have McGee right now.
And because I wanted to post this the first time we faced OSU...

Suffice to say, this is not who Ohio State thought they would throw in this game.
To be honest, Ohio State probably never thought they would be in this game.

Students have been out of school since the end of April.
It’s such a ghost town during summer. And the view I think you’re seeing the student section. Along the right field and left field foul lines are the (free) student sections. Others pay and get shade. lol.

Video, lol
I actually did a piece with that reporter back in late 1999 or early 2000. After receiving my undergrad at FSU, I began working for a non-profit org that assisted victims of police brutality in filing complaints. We also conducted hidden camera investigations across the nation with local news stations, to see if their local law enforcement agencies failed or passed our “tests.”
I do remember this… he didn’t have too many friends in Cleveland. LOL

Doubt it. Just making it here was a huge accomplishment. Beating Georgia was a lot of fun. But when you are throwing kids who only played in garbage time and against OOC opponents then you don’t go into a game with high expectations.

32-2
FSU called for holding in the end zone as OSU breaks up the shutout. But with Seminoles’ secondary keeping the Buckeyes’ passing game in check, I don’t like their prospects for a comeback.

This is brutal.
Why the NCAA hasn’t said we could stop it I’ll never know.
Get this, they sent most of the grounds crew home at 5 o’clock.
It was the 3rd inning.

This puts us in a bad spot as well as being embarrassing for Ohio State

Here's the problem with beating OSU 37-6...
The NCAA is stupid.
Rather than calling the game after 5 and saving a lot of people some embarrassment, they will take this as yet another sign that the North can’t keep up with the South in baseball, and cause all schools below the Mason-Dixon to play with half the scholarships.
by MattDNole on May 31, 2009 8:06 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I am happy we won so big but they should have called it after 5.
I mean we beat them by 30 runs. That is unheard of in baseball.

Ark winning 6-0 over Oklahoma in the second. Sorry if this has been mentioned elsewhere.
We host the Super if Ark wins OU’s regional, correct?
by Mr. Tito Carlos on May 31, 2009 8:58 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Not necessarily.
It’s determined by the NCAA, and since Arky averages almost 12K fans in their gigantic “we sold our soul to Wal-Mart” stadium, they might get it for revenue reasons.
by FSUncensored on May 31, 2009 9:02 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I thought...
it was pretty tough for the highest seed to lose hosting rights. I understand your argument is that, as nice as MMF@DHS is, we’re still nothing compared to Arky. However, I thought the process was more along the lines of looking at the suitability of the highest seed and determining whether they should look elsewhere, as opposed to going into the event and weighing all options from the outset.
Didn’t FSU host a regional as the 2 seed a few years ago. I vaguely remember it happening in like ’02 or ’03?

What was the NCAA's reasoning for having the game continue?

Didn't give one
Only guess is that it’s an advantage not to throw those extra innings. Fewer innings gives a team an advantage by way of having less chance for injury.

After setting or tying 10 school records and seven NCAA postseason records in a 37-6 rout of Ohio State on Sunday
Florida State’s players and coaches seemed almost as stunned as the Buckeyes.
THAT’S A LOT OF RECORDS. I have no idea what they are, but it is still impressive.

Texas & BC played the longest college baseball game in history
25 innings. That’s almost 3 full nine-inning games folks! The final score? 3-2
By comparison, FSU alone had 8 runs by the top of the 1st inning.

Letting a kid who threw two innings on the previous day, a reliever, throw 13 innings and 169 pitches. He’s now damaged goods.
