Florida State got on the scoreboard in the opening inning when Bella Ruggiero lobbed an RBI double over Libby Pippins' head in right field, and Anna Hinde ripped a tough hop over Delaney Keith's glove to drive in another run and give the Seminoles a 2-0 lead.
The Chants responded in the bottom of the first inning when Keith laced a single past the second baseman, and Georgia Hood brought her home on her ninth home run of the season to level the score at 2-2.
The Seminoles pushed back in front in the top of the second inning, bringing in three runs on a CCU throwing error, a wild pitch, and an RBI single to make the score 5-2.
Coastal battled back in the bottom of the second when Hannah Bendle crossed home plate on an FSU throwing error, and Hood cleared the bases with a grand slam to give the Chants a 7-5 lead.
After two scoreless innings, Florida State regained the lead, scoring four runs on a two-run home run by Hinde, an Issa Torres RBI single, and a sacrifice fly to make the score 9-7.
Florida State added to its lead in the top of the sixth frame when Angelee Bueno cracked a two-run double to left field to give the Seminoles an 11-7 advantage.
The Chants continued to fight in the bottom of the sixth inning when pinch hitter Hope McDonald capitalized on a leadoff double by Clara Hudgens by hitting a double of her own to make the score 11-8. Keith then stepped up to the plate and delivered an RBI single to cut the deficit to 11-9.
Coastal continued to rally in the bottom of the sixth, bringing in two more runs on a Brie Normandin sacrifice fly and a Bendle single to level the score at 11-11.
In the top of the seventh inning, the Seminoles tacked on six runs on three walks, a wild pitch, a fielder's choice, and a single to take the 17-11 victory.
Mackenzie Childers dropped to 1-4 in the circle, allowing four runs on two hits.
