ACC Tournament play will continue Friday afternoon with the second semifinal between Florida State and Georgia Tech.
The title game is just one win away for second-seeded Florida State and sixth-seeded Georgia Tech and the two teams will battle it out at Duke Softball Stadium on Friday night to claim the final spot in the championship. The Ramblin’ Wreck opened up tournament play on Thursday, upsetting third-seeded Virginia Tech in a 6-2 victory which was credited to Sophia Voyles in the circle after four innings of work in which she gave up one hit, one earned run and struck out two batters. Grace Connelly powered the Georgia Tech offense with a three-run homer in the top of the sixth to put the Ramblin’ Wreck up 5-1. The team posted one more run in the top of the seventh and although the Hokies brought one more run home, it wasn’t enough as Georgia Tech secured the win with strong defense to advance to the semifinals.

The Seminoles began their tournament journey on Thursday, as well, and played to a 2-0 victory against 10th-seeded Notre Dame to earn a spot in the semifinal round. The Fighting Irish held Florida State to just five hits, but Kalei Harding and Kennedy Harp made theirs count with solo home runs which won their team the game. Allison Royalty and Ashtyn Danley split pitching duties and only allowed four hits between the two of them. Each pitcher struck out one batter while the defensive work for the Seminoles kept the base-running contained.
The last time Georgia Tech and Florida State met was last year during regular season play and the Seminoles swept the Ramblin’ Wreck, outscoring them 23-5. The winner of today’s game will play either Clemson or Duke for the ACC Tournament title.
