Bella Dimitrijevic only allowed one base runner in her first inning. The one out walk was stranded on base after a strike out and ground out by the freshman.
Facing Alyssa Houston for the Cardinal, back to back walks were issued to the top of the FSU lineup. With two on base, Ashtyn Danley’s double scored one run. One pitch later, a wild pitch added the second run.
Still with no outs, and a runner on third, Anna Hinde reached on a fielder’s choice, forcing Stanford to make a play at home. An error on the throw allowed Danley to score and make it 3-0.
