Florida State baseball pounds Ohio State for NCAA postseason record 37 runs
A day after Texas and Boston College showed what good pitching looks like, the Ohio State Buckeyes’ baseball team demonstrated what not to do on the mound.
The No. 3 seed Buckeyes, which defeated Georgia earlier Sunday, gave up 37 runs to the No. 1 seed Seminoles, an NCAA postseason record, losing 37-6 in the Tallahassee Regional, per the Tallahassee Democrat.
Florida State advances and will likely host Arkansas in an NCAA Super Regional starting May 5.
FSU scored eight runs in the first, three in the second, nine in the third, just one in the fourth, and 11 in the fifth to take a commanding 31-0 lead.
After two scoreless innings, the ‘Noles added three more in the eighth and two in the ninth.
What were some of the tweets from the Sunshine state saying?
PULLanthropy Seriously. Why not have the dang 10-run rule in college baseball? FSU 37-4 over Ohio St. in the top of the 9th. Ridiculous. cleversomeday FSU baseball breaks NCAA record scoring 37 runs on OSU. GO NOLES!!! abhsports The worst NCAA baseball game I’ve ever seen is finally over. FSU beats Ohio State 37-6. Numerous NCAA records set today. warchant Florida State defeated Ohio State 37-6 to clinch a super-regional berth.

SlaterLive FSU just POUNCED the Buckeyes of Ohio State…37-6. No, not football… BASEBALL.. Sick!
Third baseman Stephen Cardullo went 7-for-9 for the ‘Noles with five RBI– the hits tying a Florida State team record for a game.
Ohmed Danesh went 4-for-7 with 5 RBI, Jason Stidham was 4-for-5 with 4 RBI, Mike Meschke was 5-for-6 with 4 RBI, and six other Seminoles recorded multiple hits and RBI.
Florida State only hit three homeruns (Meschke, Danesh, Tommy Oravetz), but recorded an NCAA all-time record 15 doubles and 66 total bases.
FSU (@FSU_Baseball) also set an NCAA single-game record for hits with 38.
One FSU Twitterer captured the score in this twitpic:

The scoreboard at Florida State's Dick Howser Stadium show's the historic score

Here’s what some other Tweeters were thinking throughout the game:
