No. 11 Florida State rallied to walk off Miami in extra innings, turning a game that had slipped late into a finish built on power and traffic on the bases. Brayden Dowd, John Stuetzer, Hunter Carns and Eli Putnam each homered as the Seminoles produced the offense that decided it.

Dowd drove in two runs and scored once, while Stuetzer and Carns each added an RBI and a run. Putnam matched that with two RBIs and a run, and Carter McCulley also drove in a run. Ben Barrett scored twice, with Gabe Fraser, Jake Ogden, Fabio Peralta, Alonzo Alvarez, Dylan Dubovik, Derek Williams and Alex Sosa each crossing once in the win.

Alonzo Alvarez had the biggest all-around line for Florida State, driving in three runs, scoring once and stealing a base. Gabriel Milano added an RBI and a stolen base, and Alex Sosa also drove in a run and scored once. The numbers show a lineup that kept moving even as the game stretched into extra innings and Miami could not put it away.

That pressure mattered because the Seminoles did it against Miami, a team that has repeatedly figured in games with bigger stakes in the season’s bigger picture. A recent look at Florida State’s opening series against Miami showed how much weight that matchup can carry for both the ACC race and NCAA seeding, and this one lived in the same lane: a late, tense game that rewarded the team with more timely contact and more finished chances.

The contrast came in the details. Chase Williams was caught stealing once, and Nathan Cmeyla was caught stealing once, while Florida State stacked extra bases, stolen bases and home runs into a winning formula. In a game decided after nine innings, that difference was enough. Florida State found the last swing, and Miami was left with the walk-off loss.
