Recap
1st Inning
Immediately FSU began with a bang, as Isa Torres led off with a homerun. The long ball, against Tech’s Madalyn Johnson, was Torres’ second lead off homerun in as many games.
In the home half for Georgia Tech, Jazzy Francik tossed a scoreless inning. Francik had two runners on after an error and a walk, but stranded the pair after a two out ground out ended the inning.
4th Inning
With Johnson still in the circle, Jaysoni Beachum had a single to start the inning. However, a ground ball rolled by Johnson was a twin kill to put two outs on the board. FSU was not able to extend the 1-0 score.
Defensively, Francik continued to shut out the Yellowjackets. Facing the minimum, the sophomore put her defense to work to go 1-2-3 in the inning.
6th Inning
Torres had her second multi homerun game of the week, with a solo shot to make it 2-0.
Beachum kept the hits coming with a single of her own, and moving to second base on a wild pitch. Johnson added Anna Hinde on base via the walk, and a two out single from Bella Ruggiero busted the door open for the Seminoles.
7th Inning
After Johnson escaped the top of the inning, only allowing two baserunners and not bringing in another run, Francik re-entered the circle. Looking for a the third no hitter of her career, Francik walked her second batter, with one out. After a fly out, a runners interference call ended the game for the Seminoles, capping off a 4-0 shutout.
