Florida State second baseman Marin Heller issued a statement on Wednesday addressing the injury she suffered against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets on Saturday.
I'm beyond grateful for all the love and support after this past weekend's game vs. Georgia Tech. I want to give a huge shoutout to all the medical staff for having my back right away after the collision, and a special thank you to our FSU medical staff for taking such good care of me once I got back to Tallahassee. I already underwent surgery and I am on the road to recovery hoping to get back with my team soon. This game tests you, and I know I'm built for it. I am ready to compete and join my squad as soon as possible to finish what we started. I appreciate everyone riding with me through it. Go Noles! Go Team 43!
