TALLAHASSEE, , Fla. -- Mark Appel and Brett Mooneyham were 17-6 combined coming into the Tallahassee Super Regionals.

Stanford's top two pitchers threw just five innings between them in two games here, allowing 10 earned runs against Florida State.

The Cardinal simply couldn't overcome the deficit either time.

Two nights after a shaky performance from Appel, Mooneyham was pulled in the second inning as the Seminoles advanced to the College World Series with an 18-7 rout Sunday night.

"We just couldn't stay with them," Stanford head coach Mark Marquess said. "Every chance we had, they just beat us. We couldn't contain them."

Stanford had 18 hits but couldn't make the most of its scoring opportunities, hitting into inning-ending double plays in the third, fourth and fifth.

"They made some very good defensive plays," Marquess said. "We hit into more double plays in these two games than we have in 30 games."

Stephen Piscotty went 4-for-5 and Austin Wilson went 3-for-5 with a home run and three RBIs for the Cardinal (41-18), who trailed 10-2 before scoring four times in the bottom of the seventh inning.

Piscotty had a chance to do more damage in that inning as Stanford batted around. The Cardinal cut FSU's lead to 10-6 and had the bases loaded for Piscotty, but he hit a groundball to third base and FSU's Sherman Johnson got the forceout.

"We didn't quit; we had nothing to lose," Piscotty said of the rally. "I would have traded all four hits for that at-bat. It is tough."

FSU (48-15) answered with eight runs in the eighth, punctuated by Seth Miller's grand slam, which put the Seminoles up 18-6.

Wilson's homer in the bottom of the inning accounted for the game's final run and the final run of Stanford's season.
