Showdown of the day:

The Miami-Florida State series has been the most compelling of the premier showdowns this weekend. Miami came from behind to win Friday, and on Saturday the Seminoles trailed 7-3 after seven innings before rallying to win with five runs in the final two frames. Jr. DH/3B Stuart Tapley (3-for-4, 4 RBI) capped the comeback with a two-run double with the bases loaded in the ninth, giving FSU its first walk-off win of the season.

Other showdowns:

• Florida over Arkansas, 8-2, to even the series. The Gators chased Hogs starter Brett Eibner in the decisive six-run fourth inning.
• Mississippi swept a doubleheader vs. Louisiana State, 11-9 and 9-8. The first game featured the highly anticipated Anthony Ranaudo-Drew Pomeranz pitching matchup, and it was a colossal dud, due in part to fierce winds gusting out to center field. Ranaudo gave up nine runs on nine hits in 1 2/3 innings, while Pomeranz issued nine walks over three innings, allowing five runs (four earned).
• UCLA over Arizona, 6-2, to clinch the series in Tucson
• Stanford over California, 15-12, to clinch the series in Stanford
• Rice over East Carolina, 3-2, to clinch the series in Houston. ECU starter Seth Maness shut out the Owls into the eighth, but Rice slugger Anthony Rendon erased a 2-0 deficit with a three-run homer against closer Seth Simmons in the eighth.
• Connecticut swept a doubleheader vs. Rutgers, 6-3 and 8-7
• Washington State over Oregon State, 12-4, to clinch the series in Pullman. The free-falling beavers have lost seven straight.
• Oklahoma over Texas A&M, 6-5, to even the series

Upset of the day:

Washington erased a 4-3 deficit with three runs in the seventh against So. LHP Mitchell Lambson, and then tacked on three more in the ninth off closer Jordan Swagerty to pull out a 9-4 win at No. 1 Arizona State. A pair of freshmen did the heavy lifting for the Huskies: 3B Jacob Lamb (3-for-5, 2 R, 2 RBI, 2B) and DH Chase Anselment (2-for-5, R, 3 RBI, HR).
