The USF Bulls' first ever appearance in the Big East Tournament Baseball Championship ended on a sour note as the St. John's Red Storm pulled out a 7-3 victory Sunday afternoon, holding the Bulls to just four hits all afternoon.

ACC Baseball Tournament 2012 Final Score: Clemson Walk-Off Home Run Defeats Florida State, 9-7

The Florida State Seminoles looked as though they would outlast the Clemson Tigers on Friday in the ACC baseball tournament after suffering a 5-4 loss to Georgia Tech in their first game of the tournament. But Clemson had different plans for the No. 1-seed Seminoles.

A two-run walk-off home run to right field by sophomore first baseman Jon McGibbon gave the Tigers the 9-7 comeback win against what many believed to be the best team in the country when the regular season ended.

Clemson led against Florida State early, starting in the second inning when senior Jason Stoltz scored an unearned run on a Florida State throwing error after reaching base on a walk and stealing second.

Florida State came back at Clemson with a four-run third inning, sparked by an RBI double to left field from Devon Travis to score Jose Brizuela. Travis was then plated by an RBI single to center field by James Ramsey, which gave the Seminoles a 2-1 lead.

Shortstop Justin Gonzales hit the other RBI in the third inning, while first baseman Jayce Boyd scored on a balk.

Clemson answered with runs in the fourth and fifth innings, but it still didn't seem like quite enough to withstand Florida State, which scored again in the fifth, then another pair of runs in the eighth inning. But the Tigers scored a pair of runs of their own in the eighth, then McGibbon's blast in ninth was the death of the Noles.

Florida Vs. Vanderbilt, 2012 SEC Baseball Tournament: Gators Offense Quiet In 2-1 Loss To Vandy

The Florida Gators dropped their second game of the SEC Baseball Tournament on Thursday night, losing a well-pitched game to Vanderbilt at Regions Park in Hoover, Alabama. The Gators' offense simply could not get anything going against the Commodores, who sent Sam Selman to the mound. The Vandy starter allowed just two hits in six scoreless innings.
