The No. 7 Florida State Seminoles softball team is set to play the Virginia Tech Hokies in the ACC Softball Tournament Championship Game on Saturday in Palmer Park in Charlottesville, Virginia.
FSU (48-8, 21-3 ACC) is on a five-game winning streak after crushing the Stanford Cardinal on Friday in the semifinals. The Seminoles took a 3-0 lead in the first before Stanford recorded an out and never slowed down. They scored in three of the four innings they hit to secure the run-rule victory, getting revenge after Stanford swept them in the regular season.
Ashtyn Danley led the offense, going 3-3 with two doubles, three RBI, and two runs scored. She also pitched the final inning to secure the shutout win. Bella Demitrijević was excellent in the circle for the Seminoles. The freshmen did not allow a run in four innings, allowing just one hit and a walk to earn the win in her first postseason appearance.
