Eli Putnam homered twice, with Nathan Cmeyla, Brayden Dowd and Myles Bailey also each knocking one.

The Seminoles jumped on Wake Forest starter Blake Morningstar early and never let up. Bailey got things started with a two-run shot to center in the first (his seventh of the year), with Dowd adding a two-run blast of his own in the third.

The fourth inning blew the game open as Putnam led off with a solo shot before DeLamielleure capped a three-run frame with a two-run single through the middle. Morningstar was done after four innings, having allowed nine runs on nine hits. Cmeyla and Putnam went back-to-back to open the fifth off reliever Luke Schmolke (Cmeyla’s first of the year and Putnam’s second of the night) to make it 9-0. FSU’s final run came in the sixth, when Dowd scored on a Putnam 6-4-3 double play after singling and moving up on a Cmeyla single.

Wake Forest’s only real threat came in the seventh, when Mendes put two on with no outs before retiring the next three batters to end the game via run rule.

The lefty threw a complete-game shutout in the win, a lights-out performance that saw him face just 24 batters across seven innings, striking out 11 and allowing only two hits and two walks. He improved to 8-0 on the season with a 0.63 ERA,

The second game of the series is set for 4 p.m. on Saturday, with Trey Beard (LHP) to get the start for the Seminoles

Dent, Perry lead way as UCLA holds off No. 8 Michigan State despite Bilodeau's injury

· Yahoo Sports

CHICAGO (AP) — Donovan Dent had 23 points and 12 assists, Trent Perry added 22 points and UCLA held off No. 8 Michigan State 88-84 in the Big Ten Tournament quarterfinals on Friday night despite losing star Tyler Bilodeau to a leg injury.

Bilodeau had to be helped off the court late in the first half and spent the second on the sideline with his right knee wrapped. The Bruins led by 15 early in the second half and withstood several big pushes down the stretch to advance to a semifinal matchup with No. 18 Purdue, which beat No. 11 Nebraska 74-58.

They were clinging to an 82-80 lead when Brandon Williams scored on a fast-break layup to make it a four-point game with 25 seconds remaining. Carson Cooper made a layup for Michigan State with 12 seconds left. UCLA’s Trent Perry immediately answered with two free throws.

Jeremy Fears Jr. then drove for a layup to cut it to 86-84 with six seconds remaining. But Perry sealed the win with two free throws.

Bilodeau went down clutching his right knee when his leg buckled as he tried to defend Cooper in the post. The noncontact injury happened away from the ball with 3:33 remaining and the Bruins leading 35-23.

The team’s leading scorer and rebounder, Bilodeau made both his shots and had five points in 10 minutes.

Fears had 21 points and 13 assists for the Spartans (25-7). Cooper and Kur Teng scored 13 apiece.
