Freshman reliever Lindsey Hendrix only needed one more out to secure a marquee win over No. 9 Florida State. But then FSU’s Kiersten Landers knocked a double into the left-center field gap, putting the tying run in scoring position in the top of the seventh. Pitching coach Michael Steuerwald came out to talk to Hendrix, but she walked the next batter with a pitch in the dirt and was pulled for Kaia Oliver. Oliver allowed Kalei Harding to single through the right side, and Landers ran through SU catcher Geana Torres and tied the game at 2-2.
