Florida State (14-4 in the conference, 45-12 overall) scored five runs in the first inning against Tech starter Kirk Goodson (5-4). Brad Parker hit a grand slam in the third as the Seminoles took advantage of four Tech errors to score 11 runs.
Tech (9-6, 33-17) contributed to its problems with eight errors - leading to 13 unearned runs - 13 walks, six wild pitches, two hit batsmen and a passed ball.
