Season Concludes in Game Three at Corvallis Super Regional

Last Updated: June 9, 2025By


CORVALLIS, Ore. – The No. 9-seed Florida State baseball team saw its season come to an end with a 14-10 loss at No. 8-seed Oregon State in the final game of the best-of-three Corvallis Super Regional in Corvallis, Oregon, on Sunday night.
 
In a winner-take-all matchup, the Seminoles (42-16) trailed 7-2 after an inning and 13-3 after three, but fought back to get to within six after six innings. However, they could not get closer than within four after scoring two in the ninth against the host-Beavers (47-14-1).
 
Florida State finishes the 2025 season with a 42-16 record, as the Seminoles won 42 or more games in back-to-back years for the first time since 2017-19. The 91 wins over the last two years is the program’s most since a 97-win stretch from 2012-13 (50-17 in 2012 and 47-17 in 2013). FSU went 17-10 in the ACC and finished in second place with a .630 winning percentage. The ACC runner-up finish and No. 2 seed at the conference tournament were the team’s best since 2014.
 
FSU falls to 4-2 in the 2025 NCAA Championship. Florida State is 211-136 all-time in NCAA postseason games and 21-25 in Super Regionals. The Seminoles advanced to the Super Regional in consecutive years for the first time since a three-year run from 2015-17. They were looking to win a Super Regional on the road for the second time in school history, along with 2019, and also win a Super Regional after losing the first game for the second time along with 2008.
 
Among individual highlights in 2025, junior shortstop Alex Lodise was named the ACC Player of the Year and ACC Defensive Player of the Year to headline a long list of awards for the St. Augustine, Florida, native. The NCBWA District 3 Player of the Year and one of seven players named to an All-ACC Team, Lodise is a finalist for several major national accolades, including the Golden Spikes Award, the Dick Howser Trophy and the Brooks Wallace Award.
 
In Sunday’s contest, freshman first baseman Myles Bailey had three hits, two RBI and two runs scored to cap an impressive first collegiate season. He was one of four players with three hits and one of three with two RBI. Bailey, junior center fielder Max Williams and sophomore left fielder Chase Williams homered in the game. Bailey and Max Williams each finish the season with a team-high-tying and career-best 19 homers and Chase Williams concludes his first year at FSU with two.
 
Max Williams had two hits, two RBI and two runs scored on Sunday and Chase Williams had three hits. Junior right fielder Gage Harrelson and freshman designated hitter Hunter Carns also both had three hits while Harrelson joined Bailey and Max Williams with two RBI.
 
Max Williams gave the Seminoles a 2-0 lead in the first inning on a two-run home run to left that scored Lodise. However, the Beavers answered with seven runs in the bottom half of the inning to go ahead 7-2. A run-scoring fielder’s choice and two RBI singles came before a three-run home run and a solo homer.
 
FSU got a run back in the second on Chase Williams’ solo home run to right-center, as the two-out blast made it a four-run game at 7-3.
 
Oregon State scored six in the third on two home runs to extend the lead to 13-3. Both teams scored a run in the fourth, as Lodise reached on a bases-loaded fielder’s choice and OSU homered in the bottom half. Those runs made it 14-4 after four.
 
Florida State added two in the fifth and another two in the sixth to cut the deficit to six at 14-8. A sacrifice fly by junior catcher Jaxson West brought in the first run of the fifth, followed by an RBI infield single by Harrelson. The sixth saw Bailey hit his second home run of the Super Regional with a two-run shot over the scoreboard in right field.
 
Meanwhile, sophomore right-hander Chris Knier stranded a runner in the fifth and pitched a perfect sixth.
 
The Seminoles were retired in order in the seventh and eighth as the bullpen continued to hold OSU off the scoreboard for a third and fourth consecutive inning.
 
In the ninth, Florida State added two more. A groundout scored the first, junior second baseman Drew Faurot, while a Harrelson double with two outs brought in the final run. However, FSU could not get any closer, and a strikeout ended the game.
