TALLAHASSEE – The No. 10 Florida State softball team (17-4) took down Jacksonville (11-10), 7-1, on Wednesday afternoon at JoAnne Graf Field.
 
After a scoreless first inning, Ashtyn Danley led off the bottom of the second inning with a double, and Marin Heller immediately drove her home on her third triple of the season to put the Noles up 1-0. Heller eventually scored on a wild pitch to put the Noles up 2-0.
 
The Noles kept the offense going in the inning as Bella Ruggiero and Angelee Bueno both walked, and Isa Torres drove both of them home on a double to put FSU up 4-0. 
 
Jazzy Francik got the start and threw three scoreless innings and got out of trouble in both the second and third innings. The Dolphins got two runners in scoring position in the second and loaded the bases in the third inning, but Francik recorded inning-ending strikeouts both times. 
 
The Dolphins got one run back in the top of the fifth, but Ashtyn Danley limited the damage with a strikeout to strand runners at second and third. 
 
The Noles responded with more offense in the bottom of the inning as Anna Hinde walked and Marin Heller singled to set the stage for Ruggiero who hit her first career triple to clear the bases and put the Noles up 6-1. Makenna Sturgis hit a blooper to right field to score Ruggiero and give the Noles another run. 
 
Makenna Reid entered the circle in for the final two innings and allowed just two hits while striking out four to shut the door.
