Overview

  • St. John's eliminated Florida State with a 5-4 win in the Tallahassee Regional final on Monday, ending the Seminoles' season.
  • Catcher Adam Agresti changed the game with a five-run, fifth-inning grand slam that turned a 2-0 deficit into a 4-2 lead for the Red Storm.
  • Reliever Victor Frederick closed out the game in the ninth, recording the final out after Florida State's Cal Fisher hit a two-run homer to make it 5-4.
  • The final was a low-hit affair for St. John's, which had only three hits total with the winning run unearned, while Florida State continued to struggle to drive in runners and show bullpen depth.
  • The advance gives St. John's a rare Super Regional berth in program history and completes a tournament run that included wins over higher-seeded opponents; reports say the next series is scheduled to begin Friday against Alabama.
