St. John’s baseball is going to the NCAA Super Regionals after beating Florida State 5-4 on Monday afternoon.

It marks the second time in program history the team has made the Super Regionals. The last time was in 2012, when the Johnnies won the Chapel Hill region as a No. 3 seed.

It is also the first time in the history of NCAA baseball that two No. 4 seeds have advanced to the Super Regional. Little Rock swept through the Hattiesburg region to also advance.

This time, St. John’s was the fourth seed in the Tallahassee region and beat the 10th-ranked Seminoles 6-5 and NIU 21-8 before winning again Monday against Florida State.

Johnnies starting pitcher Evan Hoeckele went five innings while allowing just two runs to keep the game close.

The hero of the game was catcher Adam Agresti, a New York native, whose grand slam to deep center changed the game in the fifth inning, giving the Red Storm a 4-2 lead. The Johnnies never relinquished the lead after that despite having just two more hits the rest of the way. A pair of wild pitches in the sixth inning allowed St. John’s to score its fifth run.

Florida State’s Cal Fisher hit a two-run home run to cut St. John’s lead to one in the ninth. But St. John’s pitcher Victor Frederick held off the Seminoles off.

St. John’s ended the regular season 35-24 and 15-6 in the Big East. The Johnnies were the No. 1 seed in the conference and won the Big East Tournament over Creighton.

St. John’s will play host Alabama in a best-of-three series that starts Friday in Tuscaloosa, Ala.
