FSU went into Clemson and not only shut the team out, not only dominated on the scoreboard but scored a hugely impressive statement win. They snapped the Tigers’ 29-home game winning streak with a strong 7-0 victory.
Ranked 6th in the country, the Seminoles are already among the nation’s best. But Clemson is too and they stuck with the ‘Noles neck and neck so far. But Round 1 of this pivotal ACC series went to Florida State.
FSU is now an impressive 30-7 this college softball season. They have now won five games in a row and remain as one of the top contenders in the country to make it to the Women’s College World Series.
