The much-anticipated pitchers’ duel between Florida State ace Wes Mendes and Coastal Carolina ace Cameron Flukey lived up to its billing for the better part of four innings Saturday.

Then the rains came. Then the tarp came and went and came back again. Then more rains came. And finally, after two lengthy delays, the plug was finally pulled, and the Seminoles and Chanticleers will now resume their NCAA Regional elimination game Sunday morning.

Florida State is leading 2-1 in the top of the sixth inning. Both teams went to their bullpens after the initial weather delay, ending the day for Mendes and Flukey, and batters on both teams likely let out sighs of relief.

Mendes struck out eight batters in 4.0 innings, and he allowed one run on two hits. Flukey only got to pitch 3 1/3 innings before the first long delay, and he also finished with one run on two hits.

After Coastal Carolina took a 1-0 lead in the third, Florida State tied it one inning later when Nathan Cmeyla drove in Hunter Carns with an RBI double. Cal Fisher then gave the Seminoles a 2-1 advantage in the top of the fifth with a solo home run.

Here is the updated schedule for Sunday at the Tallahassee Regional:

Game 3 will resume at 11 a.m. – Florida State 2, Coastal 1, top 6th

Game 4 will begin at 2 p.m. – Northern Illinois vs. St. John’s

Game 5 will begin at 6 p.m. – Game 3 winner vs. G4 loser
