Sophomore catcher Buster Posey, freshman third baseman Jason Stidham and junior right fielder Jack Rye each went 2 for 4 to pace the No. 13 Florida State Seminoles over the 18th-ranked Tennessee Volunteers in the first game for both schools'.
Rye doubled and hit two singles while driving in three runs, and second baseman Tony Thomas Jr. went 3 for 4 with an RBI and two runs scored.
Senior right-hander Bryan Henry threw six innings of shutout ball, striking out 11 batters to earn the victory for Florida State. Craig Cobb, also a senior righty, got roughed up for the Volunteers, allowing nine runs on 14 hits in 6-2/3 innings.
The two teams are back at it tomorrow at 1 p.m. at Mike Martin Field at Dick Howser Stadium.

Big win for the ACC, and for FSU whose fans fer the worst about this year's team.
FSU will be lucky to even make the ACC Tournament of 8 teams. The ACC is stacked this year with Clemson, UNC, Miami, GA Tech, etc. FSU is not a good team.
Anonymous,
UNC lost their No. 1 and No. 2 arms -- so they will definitely struggle.
Clemson should be solid with D'Alessio coming back. Ga. Tech is always solid.
Miami needs to find an arm for late in the agame. Last night a freshman blew the lead in the ninth inning giving up 2 runs and getting the loss against Mercer.
Of course, this is all very early in the season.
BTW, Posey behind the plate might gain him a decent draft position. We know he can hit, but how is he going to handle himself behind the plate?
FSU has a long way to go before anyone can crown them anything. They have a lot of cream puffs post-Tennessee, but so far so good. If they can keep hitting the ball, watch out ACC. 44 runs in a weekend (against UNCA) without a home run is pretty impressive.
