Florida State (40-14) continues pool play on Friday against No. 4 Virginia. Georgia Tech (31-22) plays the Cavaliers on Wednesday.
Marco Dinges ripped Florida State’s first homer of the game in the first inning. Faurot, Daniel Cantu and Jaime Ferrer each hit a two-run shot in the middle innings for an 8-1 lead. It was Ferrer’s 16th of the season.

Max Williams and James Tibbs III each added RBI singles, and Williams scored on a fielding error to double up Georgia Tech 12-6.
