Box Score Season Stats

THE FLATS – Georgia Tech softball (15-8, 0-6 ACC) took No. 3 Florida State (23-1, 5-1 ACC) down to the wire, falling 3-2 in the series finale on Sunday afternoon at Mewborn Field. The Yellow Jackets took their first lead of the series by scoring a pair of runs in the second, but surrendered two more scores in the following inning and were unable to even the tally.

Freshman center fielder Ella Edgmon had the most impactful swing for the Jackets, cracking a two-RBI single off the right-field wall to put the Jackets on top as she went 1-for-2 in the contest. Sophomore third baseman Mallorie Black, meanwhile, had the most productive day at the dish, going 3-for-4.

In the circle, junior hurler Chandler Dennis was lights out as she tossed the final four innings allowing no runs on three hits
