TALLAHASSEE\u00a0– \u00a0The No. 10 Florida State softball team (35-4, 12-0) completed the sweep of Notre Dame (16-21, 5-10) with an 8-4 win on Saturday at JoAnne Graf Field, extending its NCAA-leading winning streak to 24 games.\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\nThe Fighting Irish scored first, establishing a 4-0 lead in the second inning with an RBI double and a three-run homer. The Noles responded in the bottom of the inning with hits by Kennedy Harp<\/a>\u00a0and Bella Ruggiero<\/a>\u00a0but left the inning scoreless.
\n\u00a0
\nThe Noles offense came alive in the third\u00a0as Isa Torres<\/a>\u00a0walked and reached third on a throwing error following a hit by Marin Heller<\/a>. After Heller stole second, Ashtyn Danley<\/a>\u00a0drove Torres home on a hard-hit infield single. Danley stole second, and both she and Heller scored on another single by Anna Hinde<\/a>\u00a0to cut Notre Dame’s lead to 4-3.\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\nTorres walked again in the fourth\u00a0and stole second before scoring on a deep triple by Jaysoni Beachum<\/a>\u00a0to tie the game. The Noles took their first lead of the day in the fifth as Danley doubled on a shot down the left field line and scored on a double by Harp.
\n\u00a0
\nAfter Beachum and Heller singled in the sixth, they plated two more runs for the Noles on a single by Hinde. After Makenna Sturgis<\/a>\u00a0doubled to move Hinde to third, Hinde scored on a single by Harp.
\n\u00a0
\nFive Florida State batters recorded multiple hits to contribute to the team’s 13 hit total, with Harp recording three hits in four plate appearances. Defensively, the Noles recorded double plays in the fifth, sixth and seventh innings and only allowed two hits after Notre Dame’s second inning home run.
\n\u00a0
\nBella Dimitrijevic<\/a>\u00a0got the start for the Noles, pitching 2.1 innings with five hits and four earned runs allowed. Jazzy Francik<\/a>\u00a0relieved Dimitrijevic in the third, pitching 2.2 innings with two strikeouts and one hit to earn the win and improve to 14-1 on the season. Danley closed out the game, striking out one batter and earning her second save of the season.
