FSU sports information:
The No. 18 Florida State softball team (34-10, 13-3) picked up its eighth consecutive win and its 16th win in the past 17 games in a 6-0 win over Boston College (25-17, 5-11) on Friday afternoon at the Boston College Softball Field.
FSU got going early as Kaley Mudge drew a leadoff walk to put a runner on base for the Noles. Jaysoni Beachum then hit into a fielder's choice and stole second to put a runner in scoring position. Isa Torres stepped in with two outs and delivered with a single to put the Noles up 1-0.
FSU added two more runs in the top of the third as a Mudge single, a Beachum walk and a Kalei Harding single loaded the bases for Torres. She delivered with a hard-hit ball that bounced off the second baseman's glove to bring home two more runs.
Makenna Reid got the start for the Noles and went 2.1 innings allowing just two hits while striking out one. The Eagles threatened in the bottom of the third thanks to a two-out error that put runners on the corners, but Ashtyn Danley came in and got a groundout to end the inning.
Danley shut the Eagles down as she went 3.1 innings and did not allow a hit while striking out three. Danley was credited with the win to improve to 11-3 on the year. Mimi Gooden came in the final inning and retired the side in order.
FSU added an insurance run in the top of the sixth as Devyn Flaherty hit a ball that bounced off the center fielder's glove allowing Danely to score from first.
Beachum started the top of the seventh inning off with a bang as she hit her 11th home run of the season off the top of the scoreboard to make it 6-0. Danley added one more run with a double to score Annie Potter.
Saturday's game has been pushed back to 3 p.m. due to expected inclement weather in the morning.
