Jazzy Francik Throws Third Career No-Hitter as Isa Torres Powers Florida State Past Georgia Tech

TALLAHASSEE — Jazzy Francik delivered a dominant pitching performance, throwing her third career no-hitter, while Isa Torres powered the offense with two home runs to lead the No. 13 Florida State softball team to a 4-0 victory over Georgia Tech on Friday night in Atlanta.

Francik completed seven no-hit innings, allowing just two walks and striking out one batter. The sophomore right-hander improved her season record to 18-2 with the shutout. Her performance was backed by timely hitting, as Torres continued her hot streak at the plate.

Torres opened the scoring in the first inning with a leadoff home run against Georgia Tech’s Madalyn Johnson. She added her second homer of the game in the bottom of the sixth inning, a solo shot that extended Florida State’s lead to 2-0 and provided insurance after the Seminoles held a narrow 1-0 advantage heading into the frame.

Florida State pushed the lead to 4-0 later in the sixth inning when Jaysoni Beachum singled, Anna Hinde walked, and Bella Ruggiero followed with a single that scored pinch runners Angelee Bueno and Madi Frey. The inning capped a four-run burst that broke the game open.

In the seventh inning, Francik retired the side in order to preserve the no-hitter and secure the 4-0 win. The victory improved Florida State’s record to 41-7 overall and 16-3 in Atlantic Coast Conference play, while Georgia Tech fell to 29-23 overall and 10-12 in ACC action.

The two teams are set to meet again in the second game of the series on Saturday at 5 p.m. On the ACC Network.
