Jaysoni Beachum<\/a>\u00a0opened the third inning with a single, and plated the Seminoles’ first run off of a single by Ashtyn Danley<\/a>. On the following at-bat, Anna Hinde<\/a>\u00a0notched her first career RBI, driving in Shelby McKenzie<\/a>\u00a0with a single to bring the score to 2-0.\u00a0 The hits by FSU freshmen Heller, Griggs, and Hinde were all career firsts.
