The Florida State Seminoles hosted the Stanford Cardinal in the Tallahassee Super Regional and destroyed them in Game 1 of the double-elimination format on Friday night by a final score of 17-1.
Devon Travis led the way for the 'Noles with six RBI's in the ballgame while Brandon Leibrandt was credited with the win as he pitched six complete innings while giving up six hits and just one earned run in the ball game while striking out four Stanford batters.
Florida State dominated the game in the middle innings by score seven runs in the fourth, four runs in the fifth and three runs in the sixth and seventh to put things out of reach.
Stanford will look to bounce back from the embarrassing loss and force a third and deciding game on Sunday.
