ATLANTA (Interstat) — Georgia Tech defeated Florida State 8-3 on Friday night at Russ Chandler Stadium, securing its second straight win in the Atlantic Coast Conference series.

The Yellow Jackets erased an early three-run deficit with a four-run third inning. Alex Hernandez and Ryan Zuckerman each delivered two-run hits in the frame. Georgia Tech added four insurance runs in the eighth, capitalizing on a Florida State error.

Florida State’s John Stuetzer homered twice, accounting for two of the Seminoles’ three runs. Eli Putnam also homered. Georgia Tech starter Porter Buursema earned the win with four strong innings of relief, allowing one run and striking out seven.

Georgia Tech improved to 27-5 overall and 2-0 in the series. Florida State fell to 24-10. The teams conclude the series Saturday.
