TALLAHASSEE, Florida – Back-to-back home runs power No. 6 Florida State past Troy, 4-1, Wednesday afternoon at JoAnne Graf Field.

Back-to-back home runs by Cassidy Davis and Carsyn Gordon gave the Seminoles (42-8) the lead once and for all in the bottom of the third inning.

The Trojans (34-16) struck first in the top of the first inning with a single up the middle by Bailey Taylor that scored Madeline Porter who led off with a double to center field.

The back-to-back home runs in the bottom of the third gave Florida State the lead, but the Seminoles then added two more insurance runs in the bottom of the fifth inning when Elizabeth Mason doubled down the left field line to score Gordon and Sydney Sherill.

Annie Willis (8-9) suffered the loss for the Trojans after giving up two runs, three hits and a walk.

Meghan King (22-5) picked up her 100^th career win scattering three hits and striking out seven batters.

Next Up
Troy travels to San Marcos, Texas for a three-game Sun Belt series against Texas State. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday's first pitches are set for 6 p.m., 2 p.m. and 12 p.m.

Quotable- Head Coach Beth Mullins
"I was proud of the performance both Annie and Leanna gave us today. They kept us in it all game. I think we had some good at-bats but couldn't string them together back-to-back-to-back. We have got to do a better job of competing and having quality at-bat with runners on base."

Notable

Bailey Taylor's on-base streak stretches to 11 games after recording a single and a hit by pitch today.
With Madeline Porter's leadoff double, she ties Kaylee Hussey to lead the team with 11 doubles this season.
