FSU softball beats Georgia Tech to clinch series

The No. 12 Florida State Seminoles softball team beat the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets 4-3 on Saturday in Atlanta, Georgia. They clinched the series with the win and have now won 28 straight games against the Yellow Jackets.

The Seminoles took a 1-0 lead in the first inning when Jaysoni Beachum singled and came around to score on a single by Anna Hinde. FSU (42-7, 17-3 ACC) has led every inning of the series. They got some breathing room in the second inning as Shelby McKenzie worked a one-out walk before Hayley Griggs singled.

MaKenna Sturgis, who was starting in place of the injured Marin Heller , made it a 2-0 game with an RBI double. Isa Torres followed it up with an RBI double of her own before Beachum singled to make it a 4-0 game. That was the last time FSU scored, as they had just two hits after the second inning.

They finished the game with eight hits and three walks. Ashtyn Danley started the game in the circle for FSU and pitched four shutout innings before Bella Dimitrijevic took over in the fifth inning. The freshman was quickly in trouble, walking the leadoff batter before two quick outs had her on the verge of escaping unscathed.
