Payton Melinauskas was a standout for FDTC, contributing significantly with a 3-for-4 performance at the plate, including a double and a triple, while also driving in one run and scoring once. Skylar Dymond added an RBI, but the team's offensive efforts were hindered by leaving 11 runners on base.
On the mound, Keira Bell pitched a complete game, allowing eight hits and five runs, two of which were earned, over six innings. Bell faced 29 batters, striking out one and issuing three walks. Despite a solid effort, Bell's performance was marred by two wild pitches and a hit batter, contributing to the early scoring by Daytona State. FDTC's pitching and fielding struggles ultimately allowed their opponents to capitalize and secure the win.
