It was the battle between two developing aces for the Florida State vs. Alabama matchup on Wednesday night. Allison Royalty got the start for the Seminoles, and Kayla Beaver for the Crimson Tide.
Royalty got two fly outs to her outfield before Abby Duchsherer was able to get a little bit more of a pitch than her teammates before her. A solo shot off of the FSU starter before Marlie Giles doubled into the gap with two outs. A single directly up the middle from Bailey Dowling brought in another Alabama runner to make it 2-0 to close the first time up.
