Why this matters: This upset significantly impacts the Tallahassee Regional, forcing Florida State into the losers' bracket and opening a path for Stetson to advance. It highlights the unpredictable nature of NCAA tournament play.

Stetson (37-20) showcased a strong offensive performance, highlighted by timely hitting and two home runs. Logan Forman's two-run shot in the second inning set the tone, while Amber Chumley's three-run blast in the third extended their lead. The Hatters' ability to capitalize with runners on base proved crucial, as they tallied 8 runs on 12 hits.

Florida State (49-9), despite being the No. 9 national seed, struggled to contain Stetson's offense.
