It’s Monday, Florida State fans. As you return to work from a holiday weekend, keep it here for the latest in FSU athletics. The news and notes section of this post will be updated throughout the day.
Lead Story
For a while, it looked in danger on Sunday, but Florida State softball’s ACC winning streak has hit 35 games, following a sweep of Georgia Tech in Atlanta.
FSU trailed 3-2 entering the sixth inning on Sunday before breaking through with nine runs in the frame in an 11-3 win. After Carsyn Gordon doubled to tie the game up, Sydney Sherrill doubled her home to put the Seminoles ahead for good. Gordon added a 2-run double in the inning as did Zoe Casas while Korina Rosario came through with a 2-run single.
The Yellow Jackets managed just two hits on the day, but one was a 2-run blast in the first inning off the bat of Katie Krzus. Gordon finished with three hits and four RBIs. Casas was 3-for-3 with three RBIs.
With the win, FSU improved to 29-6 and 9-0 in ACC play. Meghan King worked four shutout innings of relief to earn the victory. Up next for the Seminoles is a doubleheader with Louisiana-Lafayette on Wednesday.
