In their first game of the 2023 NCAA Tournament, Florida State softball went up against their first opponent, the Marist Red Foxes. As the designated home team, FSU put Mack Leonard in the circle, who retired the side to start her outing.
After stranding a base runner in the 1st, the Seminoles had the bases loaded with Michaela Edenfield, Bethaney Keen, and Josie Muffley in the bottom of the 2nd. However, with two outs, a fly out ended the inning and kept it a scoreless tie.
Leonard produced another scoreless frame in the 3rd, despite giving up a walk.
