Florida State wasted little time getting the bad taste from the end of last season out of its mouth as the Seminoles opened 2015 with a sweep of Oakland. A number of new faces contributed for Florida State as FSU outscored the Golden Grizzlies 27-6 over the 3-game series to start the year 3-0. Florida State will have a day off on Monday before playing its first midweek game of the season at Jacksonville on Tuesday.

Florida State outfielder Josh Delph drove in four runs as the Seminoles scored six runs over their final two at-bats to rally past Oakland. John Sansone’s two-run double in the bottom of the 7th put Florida State ahead for good before Delph’s grand slam the following inning added some much-needed insurance. Florida State starting pitcher Mike Compton pitched a strong six innings, allowing just two unearned runs in the first. Bryant Holtmann pitched a scoreless seventh to pick up the win for the Seminoles. Catcher Ian Yetsko had three of the eight hits for Oakland.

De La Calle and Steven Wells Jr. each hit their first home runs of the season for FSU. Starting pitcher Boomer Biegalski allowed two runs in five innings to pick up his first career win.
