A shallow single easily scored Sturgis from third, and Hayley Griggs was able to reach second on a stolen base. With the lineup turned over, Torres recorded another hit to make it 7-0.
2nd Inning
Dimitrijevic worked around a lead off double in the inning, but retired the next three batters to keep her teams lead. Danley had a lead off fielders choice, and reached second on an error. A ground out moved her to third and another single made it 8-0.
4th Inning
Makenna Reid took over for Dimitrijevic in the 4th, and had another clean inning for the Seminoles. Facing reliever Taylor Peacock for the Bears, Torres did not record a hit, but was able to reach on an error. She was soon erased on a double play before Peacock walked McKenzie. A double off the bat of Danley made it 9-0 before the end of the inning.
5th Inning
Reid stepped back out for the final frame. Three batters stood between FSU and another run rule win, and Reid got two outs before the Bears reached on a single. A strikeout looking from Reid closed the game, securing a 9-0 win.
