No. 1 Florida State softball rolls past No. 4 Stanford in ACC Semifinals; Dimitrijevic & Danley shut out Cardinal
Florida State softball was swept by the Cardinal during the regular season, but came back with hot bats and clutch pitching to cruise into ACC Tournament championship game. Lineup SS – Isa Torres (JR) 3B – Jaysoni Beachum (JR) LF – Ashtyn Danley (JR) C – Anna Hinde (FR) RF – Bella Ruggiero (R FR) CF – Kennedy Harp (JR) DP – Shelby McKenzie (SO) 1B – Hayley Griggs (FR) 2B – Makenna Sturgis (FR) RHP – Bella Dimitrijevic (FR) Recap 1st Inning Bella Dimitrijevic only allowed one base runner in her first inning. The one out walk was stranded on base after a strike out and ground out by the freshman.
Facing Alyssa Houston for the Cardinal, back to back walks were issued to the top of the FSU lineup. With two on base, Ashtyn Danley’s double scored one run. One pitch later, a wild pitch added the second run.
Still with no outs, and a runner on third, Anna Hinde reached on a fielder’s choice, forcing Stanford to make a play at home. An error on the throw allowed Danley to score and make it 3-0. PUT PRESSURE ON THEM‼️‼️ 📺ACCN #Team43 pic.
