TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Joining Lacey Waldrop (109) and Leslie Malerich (107), Meghan King became the third pitcher in Florida State history to reach the 100-win mark, as the redshirt senior tossed a complete game for No. 6 Florida State (42-8) in a 4-1 victory on Wednesday night against Troy (34-16).

King improved to 22-5 on the season and allowed just one run on three hits over 7.0 innings with zero walks and seven strikeouts. For her career, King has a record of 100-19 over 161 appearances and 119 starts. She has tallied 623 strikeouts in 731.1 innings and opponents are batting just .213 against her in her career.

“Good game today, and I loved the way that we came out and fought,” said FSU head coach Lonni Alameda. “Really proud of Meghan King and the career that she has had here. She did another great job today and battled through some situations and we got a few big swings from our offense. It was a good process day for us.”

Troy opened the scoring in the top of the first inning as Madeline Porter hit a leadoff double off the top of the wall in center and later scored on an RBI single by Bailey Taylor.

The Seminoles took the lead back in the bottom of the third inning on solo home runs by Cassidy Davis and Carsyn Gordon. It marked the 15th career home run for Davis and four of them have come against Troy, along with one in 2017 and two in 2018.

The Trojans opened the top of the fourth inning with the first two batters reaching on a hit-by-pitch and an FSU error. King got out of the inning by retiring the next three batters on a pop out and a pair of strikeouts.

A single by Gordon and a walk by Sydney Sherrill allowed Elizabeth Mason to extend the FSU lead to 4-1 with a two-run double to left in the bottom of the fifth inning.

Troy brought the tying run to the plate with one out in the bottom of the seventh inning as a pair of runners reached on a catcher’s interference and an FSU error, but King ended the game with a line out and a groundout.

Florida State will play its final home games of the 2019 regular season on April 26-28 as the Noles host Duke (25-27, 11-10 ACC). All three games will air on ACC Network Extra and links for tickets, the broadcast and live stats will be available on the softball schedule page of Seminoles.com.
