\nFSU got runners on base in the first four innings but finally broke through in the fourth as Ashtyn Danley<\/a> and Bella Ruggiero<\/a> led off the inning with back-to-back singles, and Shelby McKenzie<\/a> picked up a RBI for the ninth-consecutive game with a single up the middle to score Danley. Kennedy Harp<\/a> drove home Ruggiero on a groundout, and Marin Heller<\/a> doubled to right field to put the Noles up 3-1.\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\nThe Noles added one more insurance run in the seventh inning as Hayley Griggs<\/a> picked up her second hit of the night on an infield single. After a fielder’s choice, Isa Torres<\/a> stole second to get herself in scoring position for Jaysoni Beachum<\/a> who delivered with a single to right field to put the Noles up 4-1.\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\nThe leadoff runner got on for Clemson in the bottom of the seventh, but Danley forced a double play and a groundout to end the game.\u00a0
