They are now 38-7 overall and 14-3 in ACC play, winning all but one of their series this season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">It was the Ashtyn Danley show for FSU. Thier two-way star pitched the final 3.0 innings and did not allow a run. With the Seminoles clinging to a 2-1 lead in the fifth inning, she lined a three-run homer to center, giving them a 5-1 lead and giving herself some breathing room.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">FSU never trailed as Isa Torres led off the bottom of the first inning with a solo home run, her third homer in the past four games. They proceeded to load the bases with no outs and Bella Ruggiero gave them a 2-0 lead with a sacrifice fly. That was all they managed as they failed to get some more breathing room.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">North Carolina got on the board in the third inning with a two-out home run off Bella Dimitrijevic. The freshman got the start for FSU, giving up one run over 4.0 innings on two hits and two walks with four strikeouts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">FSU got another run in the sixth inning when Marin Heller hit a leadoff triple and scored on a sacrifice fly from Hayley Griggs, putting them up 6-1.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The Seminoles finished the game with 10 hits, with Torres and Danley both having multiple. They hit .357 (5-14) with runners on and .250 (2-8) with runners in scoring position.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">FSU will go for the sweep of North Carolina on Sunday. The game is set to start at noon and will be streamed on ESPN+. The Seminoles will honor seniors Madi Frey and Makenna Reid before the game.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"gnt_em_cp_cw_i\" data-g-r=\"lazy\" data-gl-src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1776683368_623_87125517007-renewalby-andersonlogo.png\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Follow us\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/fsuwire\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":b|z|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">@FSUWire<\/a>\u00a0on X\u00a0and like our page on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/FSUWire\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":b|z|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">Facebook<\/a>\u00a0to follow ongoing coverage of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/football\/ncaaf\/teams\/florida-state-seminoles\/3409\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">Florida State<\/a>\u00a0news, notes, and opinions.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"April 18, 2026, 5:28 p.m. ET The\u00a0No. 12 Florida State Seminoles\u00a0softball team beat the\u00a0North Carolina Tar Heels\u00a0 6-1&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":238763,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[31,4529,4530,43,2860,89,4532,8238,49,96,9811,6200,300,232,234,233,34],"class_list":["post-238762","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tallahassee","tag-accessfree","tag-sstssportscollegefsu","tag-sstsnfsu","tag-tagfacebook","tag-tagflorida-state-seminoles","tag-tagflorida-state-university","tag-tagncaa-atlantic-coast-conference","tag-tagnorth-carolina","tag-tagoverall-neutral","tag-tagoverall-positive","tag-tagsmg-timely","tag-tagsoftball","tag-tagsports-news","tag-tallahassee","tag-tallahassee-headlines","tag-tallahassee-news","tag-typestory"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/238762","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=238762"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/238762\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/238763"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=238762"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=238762"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=238762"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
