BRIGHTON — The No. 10 Florida State softball team (46-8, 21-3) clinched its 19th ACC Regular Season Championship on Sunday evening with an 8-0 win over Boston College (13-38, 3-21). FSU has now won an NCAA-leading 38 combined ACC Championships.
The Noles will be the No. 1 seed in the ACC Tournament next week in Charlottesville, Va. FSU will play either Georgia Tech or Notre Dame at 11 a.m. on Thursday on the ACC Network.
The Noles started off with three runs in the first inning and never looked back. Jaysoni Beachum doubled to left field to get the offense going. Anna Hinde singled through the right side to score Beachum to give the Noles the early lead. Kennedy Harp and Shelby McKenzie hit back-to-back singles to put the Noles up 3-0 after one.
An Isa Torres single and a walk from Beachum set the stage for Ashtyn Danley, who delivered with a single to score Torres to make it 4-0. Hinde added another RBI on a sac fly to increase the FSU lead to 5-0.
A couple of walks, a wild pitch and a sac fly from Danley gave the Noles another run in the fourth. Three more walks allowed the Noles to add one more run to go up 7-0 after four. Beachum and Torres hit back-to-back singles, and Danley added her third RBI on a fielder’s choice to make it 8-0 heading into the bottom of the seventh.
Bella Dimitrijević got the start for FSU in the circle and threw two hitless innings for the Noles. Jazzy Francik came in for the final five innings to earn her 20th win of the season. Francik allowed just two hits and struck out three.
The Noles outscored Boston College 26-0 over the course of the three games and allowed just five hits over the three games.
