Tech (30-5, 15-3 ACC) dominated in the fifth and sixth innings, totaling 15 runs and turning a 3-2 deficit into a rout. It’s tied for the best record through 35 games in school history, most recently in 2010.

Florida State (24-11, 9-6) looked to salvage a game in the series, but the Yellow Jackets rallied for 13 hits and three home runs in the fifth and sixth innings en route to the seven-inning win.

Saturday’s crowd of 4,326 fans capped a weekend of rousing support, with three sellouts and 12,585 total attendance.

The Yellow Jackets continue their consistent play through the season, with the second-longest current win streak in the country behind top-ranked UCLA.

During the streak, Tech is outscoring opponents 117-32 and has seven wins against opponents ranked in the top 15.

The Yellow Jackets next face Georgia Southern on Tuesday before a weekend series at North Carolina.
