FSU second baseman Marin Heller was injured on the final play of FSU’s 2-0 win over the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets on Friday.
The injury occurred in the seventh inning when she went to field a ground ball inside the base path, getting run into by the Georgia Tech base runner at first, who was attempting to advance to second on the play. While she was eventually able to walk off the field under her own power, she was down on the ground and received attention.
FSU head coach Lonni Alameda provided an update about Heller on Saturday, saying she is back in Tallahassee and will miss the rest of the series.
Thank you to all who have reached out about Marin. She will be out the remainder of the series and is with her family back in Tallahassee for further evaluation following her on-field injury last night. Marin is a tough cookie, and we are thankful for your love and support.
Heller has started all 48 games for FSU at second base and is hitting .353 with a .451 on-base percentage. The freshman has 15 doubles, four triples, two home runs, and 25 RBI. She has drawn 23 walks and struckout 16 times. She has also stolen 13 bases on 15 attempts and made just four errors in 173 chances, giving her a .977 fielding percentage.
