James Tibbs III just hit a home run for the third time of the day in Florida State’s second super regional matchup vs. UConn, with his third coming in the 12th inning.

Tibbs was one of few Seminoles who didn’t have his best day in the 24-4 slaughter of UConn in Game 1, but he sure did provide necessary production in Game 2. UConn played much better all the way around on Saturday and Tibbs helped Florida State keep pace with three different shots over the wall.

His third was of course the most important, breaking a two-inning stalemate to start extra innings before with a two-run bomb to make it a 10-8 Seminole lead heading into the bottom of the 12th.
