Alonzo Alvarez Lifts No. 11 Florida State Past Miami in Extras
No. 11 Florida State rallied to walk off miami in extras, with Alonzo Alvarez driving in three runs and adding a stolen base. The Seminoles got enough offense from across the lineup to finish the rivalry game with a win that featured multiple run producers and three players who swiped a base.
Alonzo Alvarez Drives Three Runs
Alvarez was the central figure in the finish. He scored once, drove in three runs and stole one base, giving Florida State the most productive line in the game’s deciding stretch.
Gabriel Milano added one RBI, scored once and stole a base, while Alex Sosa also drove in one run and scored once. Those three helped keep the pressure on Miami as Florida State pushed the game into the frame it needed for the walk-off.
Home Runs Fuel Florida State
Florida State’s offense also came from the long ball. Brayden Dowd, John Stuetzer, Hunter Carns and Eli Putnam each hit one home run, and the group spread the damage across several spots in the batting order.
Dowd finished with two RBIs and one run scored. Stuetzer and Carns each drove in one run and scored once, while Putnam posted two RBIs and one run scored. Carter McCulley added one RBI, and Ben Barrett crossed the plate twice.
Run Production Around The Lineup
The rest of the scoring was distributed, not concentrated. Jake Ogden, Fabio Peralta, Dylan Dubovik, Derek Williams, and Gabe Fraser each scored one run, giving Florida State a wider scoring base than a one-man effort.
Miami also had to deal with the basepaths. Chase Williams was caught stealing once, and Nathan Cmeyla was caught stealing once. Florida State, by contrast, created extra pressure with Alvarez and Milano each recording a stolen base.
For No. 11 Florida State, the result adds another rivalry win and shows how the lineup can win a game without leaning on one hitter alone. The walk-off in extras came with production from the middle and lower parts of the order, and that kind of spread-out offense is what carried the Seminoles home against Miami.
