No. 10 Florida State softball's freshmen lead FSU to 17th straight win
Florida State softball extended its nation-leading win streak to 17 games with a 9-1 run-rule victory over Cal.
No. 10 Florida State softball pushed its nation‑leading win streak to 17 games Sunday, capping another ACC sweep with a 9-1, five‑inning run‑rule victory over Cal (10-22, 1-8) at JoAnne Graf Field. The Seminoles (28-4, 6-0 ACC) have now recorded run‑rule wins in six of their last seven games, continuing a dominant March surge.
Freshman Marin Heller jump‑started the offense in the first inning, drilling a two‑run homer — the first of her career — to give the Seminoles an early cushion. FSU added two more runs in the second when Hayley Griggs scored on Jaysoni Beachum’s RBI single, followed by a sacrifice fly from Shelby McKenzie that brought home Isa Torres.
