FSU softball faces Virginia Tech in ACC tournament title game
After a rout of Stanford, Florida State softball is on the doorstep of a 20th ACC tournament title to pair with the program's 19 regular-season crowns.
The top-seeded Seminoles (48-8) run-ruled the fourth-seeded Stanford, 9-0, in the ACC tournament semifinals behind a gem from freshman pitcher Bella Dimitrijevic, who tossed four scoreless innings of one-hit ball with four strikeouts. Pair that with a big day at the plate from Jaysoni Beachum (2 RBI) and Ashtyn Danley (3 hits, 3 RBI), and FSU booked a 28th ACC tournament championship appearance.
So who awaits the Seminoles in the championship game? FSU will play the slugging third seed, Virginia Tech, for the first time this season.

The Hokies beat No. 2 Duke, 5-0, in the semifinal to advance to the championship game. A dominant pitching outing from Bree Carrico helped shut down the Blue Devils. The All-ACC Freshman of the Year threw 5.2 scoreless innings, with just three hits allowed and four strikeouts against one of the ACC's best offenses.
Carrico exited the game in the sixth inning, however, with what appeared to be a hand injury. Emma Mazzarone replaced her, and she allowed one hit and struck out three in her relief appearance.
Virginia Tech paired that dominant outing with four home runs, which takes the ballclub's ACC-leading home run total to 105 this season.
