Sydney Sherrill And Meghan King Named NFCA All-Americans.
The pair of Seminoles earn national accolades after an impressive season for the Garnet and Gold.

May 29, 2019

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Helping lead the Seminoles to the 2019 ACC Championship, as well as advancing to the NCAA Super Regionals for the seventh consecutive season, a pair of FSU student-athletes were honored by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association as sophomore infielder Sydney Sherrill and redshirt senior pitcher Meghan King were named NFCA All-Americans on Wednesday.

Sherrill earned a spot on the First Team, while King was named to the Second Team. It is the second year in a row that Sherrill has earned All-America honors, as she was named to the Third Team in 2018. King garners the first All-America honor of her career as she closes out her time in the Garnet and Gold.

There have been 51 total All-American honors in the history of the FSU softball program, spread among 34 different student athletes, and the Seminoles have had multiple All-Americans in five of the last six seasons.

Florida State holds the longest active streak in the country of All-American pitchers, as FSU has had an All-American in the circle in each of the last seven years – Lacey Waldrop (2013-15), Jessica Burroughs (2016-17), Kylee Hanson (2018) and Meghan King (2019). Only three other schools have a streak of two or more – Oklahoma (5), Washington (2) and Drake (2).

“Really proud of both Syd and Meghan,” said FSU head coach Lonni Alameda. “They have worked so hard, not just to be great softball players, but amazing people as well. They represent Florida State softball and the university at the highest level and it is a true honor, not only for them, but also our program as well.”

Sherrill led the team with a .405 batting average, 18 doubles, 16 home runs, 60 RBI and a .762 slugging percentage at the plate. She was also an outstanding fielder, splitting time between second and third base, committing just eight errors on the season as she earned ACC Defensive Player of the Year honors. Through just two seasons of collegiate softball, Sherrill already ranks fourth in FSU history with 47 doubles.

King closed out her FSU career with her most dominant season in the circle, posting a record of 30-7 with a 1.43 ERA, three saves and 237 strikeouts over 210.1 innings. The redshirt senior was named ACC Pitcher of the Week six times in 2019, was selected as a Senior CLASS Top 10 Finalist and chosen as a CoSIDA Academic All-District First Team member. King finished with an FSU record 11 career saves and 108 wins, which ranked second in school history, trailing only Waldrop who earned 109 wins from 2012-15.

Seminoles Start 2019 With Pair Of Victories In JoAnne Graf Classic.
No. 1 Florida State tops UNCW and Iowa State on Friday afternoon.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Earning a season-opening win for the fifth year in a row, No. 1 Florida State (2-0) posted a victory in both games of the JoAnne Graf Classic on Friday, topping UNCW (1-1) by a score of 7-2 and shutting out Iowa State (1-1) with a 1-0 win to end the day.

“Quality way to start the season, not just with two wins, but with the way the team was able to work through the process in both games,” said FSU head coach Lonni Alameda. “Opening day always has some jitters, but that is a good thing because that means you are excited about the game. It was great to begin to see what Team 36 is all about and put the team in a bunch of different situations. Another long day for us tomorrow against some quality opponents.”

Game One: No. 1 Florida State 7, UNC Wilmington 2
FSU jumped out to a quick 4-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning in the opening game against UNCW. Cali Harrod started off with a single up the middle and stole both second and third base, while Sydney Sherrill followed with a walk and also stole second to move into scoring position. After a walk to Elizabeth Mason loaded the bases, Dani Morgan put the Seminoles on the board with an RBI single to right.

Anna Shelnutt added a two-run single later in the inning, and eventually scored on a UNCW error off the bat of Makinzy Herzog.

Cassidy Davis started the game in the circle for the Noles and needed just three pitches to send the Seahawks down in order in the top of the first inning. She added a scoreless second before allowing UNCW to score in the third off a bases-loaded double play, following a single and a pair of walks, cutting the Seminole lead to 4-1.

Davis helped her own cause in the bottom of the third inning, driving in a pair of runners on a single to right, scoring Zoe Casas and Deja Bush. Both runners recorded a stolen base in the inning and Bush pinch-ran for Shelnutt who reached on a walk.

Harrod closed out the Seminole scoring with an infield single, extending the Florida State lead to 7-1.

Davis was replaced in the circle to start the fourth inning as Kathryn Sandercock made her Florida State debut. The freshman retired five of the first six batters she faced before allowing a solo home run to Dominique Travers in the top of the fifth inning to make it a 7-2 game. Sandercock scattered just one hit over the last 2.1 innings as she earned her first collegiate victory. Davis allowed just three hits and one run with two walks and a strikeout in her 3.0-inning start.

Game Two: No. 1 Florida State 1, Iowa State 0
Offense was hard to come by in the second game of the day, as the game was tied at 0-0 as Iowa State loaded the bases in the top of third inning after a single, a double and a fielder’s choice. Seminole starter Meghan King fielded a one-out grounder to the circle and her throw home was a bit offline, but Shelnutt was able to stretch to catch the ball and keep her foot on home plate for the force out. A groundout to Leslie Farris at second base ended the inning and got the Seminoles out of the jam.

Florida State had baserunners in four of the first five innings, but did not capitalize until the bottom of the sixth as Sydney Sherrill led off the inning with a solo home run to left center.

King retired 14 of the last 15 batters she faced, including striking out the side in the top of the seventh, to close out the complete-victory. The redshirt senior (1-0) tossed 7.0 innings and allowed just three hits, one walk and eight strikeouts.

No. 1 FSU Shuts Out UNCG And Iowa State On Saturday At JoAnne Graf Classic.
The Seminoles blank UNCG, 8-0, and Iowa State, 5-0, on the second day of the season-opening tournament.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Two games, two shutouts for the Seminoles as No. 1 Florida State improved to 4-0 on the season after an 8-0 win in five innings over UNCG (1-3) and a 5-0 victory over Iowa State (1-2) to close out the day. In addition to the strong performance in the circle, the Seminole offense shined on Saturday as FSU tallied nine extra-base hits on six doubles, a triple and two home runs in the pair of victories.

Meghan King tossed her second complete-game shutout of the season and has now won each of her last 14 decisions, dating back to April 28, 2018. She has allowed just one earned run over her last 55.0 innings pitched, dating back to the NCAA Super Regionals against LSU on May 26, 2018.

Prior to Florida State’s first game of the day, Dr. JoAnne Graf throughout the ceremonial first pitch. Standing on the field with her name on it and involved with a tournament named after her, Dr. Graf was celebrated for her Hall of Fame career at Florida State that included 1,437 wins, 10 ACC Championships, seven trips to the Women’s College World Series and the 1981 and 1982 AIAW National Championships.

“Another strong showing today and I was glad to see us execute in a lot of situations,” said FSU head coach Lonni Alameda. “It was good to see some of the adjustments get made from yesterday to continue to grow and work the process. There are a lot of positives to take away from today, but also a lot of things to work on. Looking forward to get out there again tomorrow.”

Game One: No. 1 Florida State 8, UNCG 0 (5 Innings)
Florida State broke out to an early 3-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning against UNCG, as Cali Harrod led off with a single up the middle. She quickly stole second and scored on an RBI single by Carsyn Gordon put the Noles on the board. An RBI double by Elizabeth Mason added to the lead and Dani Morgan’s RBI single up the middle closed out the FSU scoring in the opening frame.

The Seminoles added two more runs in the bottom of the third, highlighted by doubles from Sydney Sherrill and Anna Shelnutt. Zoe Casas added an RBI single to push the FSU lead to 5-0 after three complete innings.

Kathryn Sandercock earned her first career start in the circle and posted a five inning shutout. The Spartans managed to get runners on the corners in the top of the first, but the freshman got out of the jam with a groundout to third. She scattered three hits over the final four innings and allowed just one runner to reach second base for the rest of the game. She finished with five strikeouts and one walk as she improved to 2-0 on the season.

Florida State ended the game in the fifth inning, bringing across three more runs for the 8-0 final score. Sherrill and Mason hit back-to-back solo home runs to start the inning and freshman Morgan Noah followed with a double to left center. A line out to right field moved Noah to third base and she scored on an RBI groundout by Casas.

Game Two: No. 1 Florida State 5, Iowa State 0
Sherrill also sparked the Seminole offense to start the game against Iowa State, driving in runs on RBI singles in both the first and third innings, scoring Harrod both times. Florida State added another run in the fourth inning as Cassidy Davis chopped an RBI single over the ISU third baseman, scoring Morgan, who led off the inning with a triple to right center.

FSU starting pitcher Meghan King was outstanding in the circle as she did not allow the Cyclones to register a base hit until the top of the fifth inning. She retired 13 of the first 14 batters she faced in the game and allowed just one more hit the rest of the game on a double in the top of the sixth. King finished with seven strikeouts and allowed just one walk and two hits over 7.0 innings of work.

Florida State closed out the scoring with two more runs in the fifth inning for the 5-0 final score. Gordon lined a leadoff single, but was replaced at first on a fielder’s choice by Sherrill. A single by Shelnutt set the stage for Morgan to drive in another run with an RBI double into the left field corner. Casas brought in the final run with an RBI single to bring in Shelnutt.

No. 1 FSU Shuts Out UNCG And Iowa State On Saturday At JoAnne Graf Classic.
The Seminoles blank UNCG, 8-0, and Iowa State, 5-0, on the second day of the season-opening tournament.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Two games, two shutouts for the Seminoles as No. 1 Florida State improved to 4-0 on the season after an 8-0 win in five innings over UNCG (1-3) and a 5-0 victory over Iowa State (1-2) to close out the day. In addition to the strong performance in the circle, the Seminole offense shined on Saturday as FSU tallied nine extra-base hits on six doubles, a triple and two home runs in the pair of victories.

Meghan King tossed her second complete-game shutout of the season and has now won each of her last 14 decisions, dating back to April 28, 2018. She has allowed just one earned run over her last 55.0 innings pitched, dating back to the NCAA Super Regionals against LSU on May 26, 2018.

Prior to Florida State’s first game of the day, Dr. JoAnne Graf throughout the ceremonial first pitch. Standing on the field with her name on it and involved with a tournament named after her, Dr. Graf was celebrated for her Hall of Fame career at Florida State that included 1,437 wins, 10 ACC Championships, seven trips to the Women’s College World Series and the 1981 and 1982 AIAW National Championships.

“Another strong showing today and I was glad to see us execute in a lot of situations,” said FSU head coach Lonni Alameda. “It was good to see some of the adjustments get made from yesterday to continue to grow and work the process. There are a lot of positives to take away from today, but also a lot of things to work on. Looking forward to get out there again tomorrow.”

Game One: No. 1 Florida State 8, UNCG 0 (5 Innings)
Florida State broke out to an early 3-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning against UNCG, as Cali Harrod led off with a single up the middle. She quickly stole second and scored on an RBI single by Carsyn Gordon put the Noles on the board. An RBI double by Elizabeth Mason added to the lead and Dani Morgan’s RBI single up the middle closed out the FSU scoring in the opening frame.

The Seminoles added two more runs in the bottom of the third, highlighted by doubles from Sydney Sherrill and Anna Shelnutt. Zoe Casas added an RBI single to push the FSU lead to 5-0 after three complete innings.

Kathryn Sandercock earned her first career start in the circle and posted a five inning shutout. The Spartans managed to get runners on the corners in the top of the first, but the freshman got out of the jam with a groundout to third. She scattered three hits over the final four innings and allowed just one runner to reach second base for the rest of the game. She finished with five strikeouts and one walk as she improved to 2-0 on the season.

Florida State ended the game in the fifth inning, bringing across three more runs for the 8-0 final score. Sherrill and Mason hit back-to-back solo home runs to start the inning and freshman Morgan Noah followed with a double to left center. A line out to right field moved Noah to third base and she scored on an RBI groundout by Casas.

Game Two: No. 1 Florida State 5, Iowa State 0
Sherrill also sparked the Seminole offense to start the game against Iowa State, driving in runs on RBI singles in both the first and third innings, scoring Harrod both times. Florida State added another run in the fourth inning as Cassidy Davis chopped an RBI single over the ISU third baseman, scoring Morgan, who led off the inning with a triple to right center.

FSU starting pitcher Meghan King was outstanding in the circle as she did not allow the Cyclones to register a base hit until the top of the fifth inning. She retired 13 of the first 14 batters she faced in the game and allowed just one more hit the rest of the game on a double in the top of the sixth. King finished with seven strikeouts and allowed just one walk and two hits over 7.0 innings of work.

Florida State closed out the scoring with two more runs in the fifth inning for the 5-0 final score. Gordon lined a leadoff single, but was replaced at first on a fielder’s choice by Sherrill. A single by Shelnutt set the stage for Morgan to drive in another run with an RBI double into the left field corner. Casas brought in the final run with an RBI single to bring in Shelnutt.

No. 1 Noles Nearly Perfect In 10-0 Win Over UNCW.
Florida State allowed just one baserunner on a hit-by-pitch as Kara Bilodeau and Makinzy Herzog combined for a five-inning no-hitter on Sunday.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Sparked by a nine-run first inning, No. 1 Florida State (5-0) cruised to a 10-0 win in five innings over UNC Wilmington (2-3) on Sunday to close out the 2019 JoAnne Graf Classic. Equally impressive was the pitching performance of Kara Bilodeau and Makinzy Herzog, as the two Seminole newcomers combined to toss a no-hitter and faced the minimum of 15 batters on the day. Herzog hit a batter in the top of the fourth, but Anna Shelnutt threw her out on a steal attempt to end the inning.

It marked the 25th no-hitter by the Seminoles under head coach Lonni Alameda, which has been accomplished by 11 different players. Florida State has recorded four consecutive shutouts and has not allowed a run in its last 26.1 innings, dating back to the first game of the 2019 season.

“On opening weekend it is good to come out and just get the feeling of playing another team again, as well as playing games on consecutive days,” said Alameda. “I liked how we came together today and made adjustments day-to-day from offense to defense and pitching. We got a lot of people a lot of opportunities. I loved how the newcomers came in and gave us quality innings, quality pitches and quality at-bats, and that will go a long way to help develop Team 36 into what we will be down the line.”

Sunday’s game started like every Florida State game has this season with Cali Harrod leading off the Seminole first inning with a base hit, a feat she’s accomplished in all five games of the 2019 season. She stole second base, her sixth SB of the season, and following a single and stolen base by Carsyn Gordon, both FSU runners scored on a single to right by Sydney Sherrill. A walk to Elizabeth Mason set the stage for Anna Shelnutt to make it 3-0 Seminoles with a double to left center.

A one-out triple by Zoe Casas brought in two more runs and Cassidy Davis made it 6-0 FSU with a sacrifice fly to right field. Morgan Noah lined a first-pitch single to right and Harrod followed with a walk in her second plate appearance of the inning. Gordon crushed a three-run home run, her first of the season, to Spirit Way beyond the wall in left field for a 9-0 Seminole advantage after the first inning.

Bilodeau was perfect in her 3.0-inning appearance, retiring all nine batters she faced along with three strikeouts. Herzog finished with three strikeouts as well over the final two innings of the game.

The Seminoles added a final run in the bottom of the fourth inning as Mackenzie Puckett drew a one-out walk and ended up on third base after a bunt single by Deja Bush and a throwing error by UNCW. Davis drove in her second run of the game on a groundout to second base, easily scoring Puckett from third base for the 10-0 final score.

Florida State 3, Ohio State 1
02/15/2019, St. Pete/Clearwater Elite Invitational, Clearwater, Fla.

From the FSU Website, seminoles.com.

No. 1 Florida State Tops Ohio State And No. 3 Oklahoma On Friday.
The Seminoles are perfect on the first day of the St. Pete/Clearwater Elite Invitational.

CLEARWATER, Fla. — Using strong pitching in game one and an explosive offense in game two, No. 1 Florida State (7-0) earned a pair of wins on Friday at the St. Pete/Clearwater Elite Invitational. Meghan King recorded 11 strikeouts in a 3-1 win over Ohio State (3-2) and the Seminoles launched five home runs to take a 7-4 victory against No. 3 Oklahoma (8-1).

The lower half of the Seminole order carried Florida State on Friday as batters 5-9 in the lineup hit 11-for-29 on the day, including two doubles, five home runs, seven RBI and seven runs scored.

The five home runs against the No. 3 Sooners matched the most that OU has allowed since 2004, and ties the five-HR performance the Noles had at Syracuse on April 8, 2017.

“Thrilled with the way the team performed today,” said FSU head coach Lonni Alameda. “We faced a lot of adversity, but were able to work through them and grow a lot as individuals and as a team. Obviously pleased with the wins, but love the challenges and competition that we faced today, and will face throughout the weekend, that will help us develop through the season. Two complete team wins today.”

Game One: No. 1 Florida State 3, RV Ohio State 1
Meghan King started the game against Ohio State with four perfect innings in the circle, retiring each of the first 12 batters she faced, including nine strikeouts.

The Seminoles had their chances in the early innings as Cali Harrod started the FSU first with a walk, stole second and moved to third on a ground out. Elizabeth Mason drew a walk of her own and stole second, but both were left stranded on a lineout to shortstop.

Morgan Noah opened the FSU third inning with a single up the middle, took second on a wild pitch by OSU’s Lauren Rice and advanced to third with one out on a sacrifice bunt by Harrod. Carsyn Gordon reached on a fielder’s choice to short, and advanced to third on the play as Noah was retired in a rundown at home. Sydney Sherrill walked, but a leaping grab by Ohio State’s Lilli Piper ended the inning.

Florida State opened the scoring in the bottom of the fourth as Anna Shelnutt led off the inning with a solo home run to left. Back-to-back one-out doubles by Zoe Casas and Cassidy Davis extended the FSU lead to 2-0, causing Ohio State to make a pitching change and bring in Kat Duvall.

Morgan Noah lined a single to left to continue the inning, but a rundown and a groundout ended the inning.

Ohio State ended the perfect game with a solo home run by Kaitlyn Coffman with two outs in the fifth inning, to cut the Seminole lead to 2-1. It marked the first base hit allowed by Florida State in 11.0 innings, dating back to February 9 against Iowa State. The Buckeyes continued the inning on an FSU error and a base hit, but King ended the inning with her 11th strikeout of the game.

Ohio State threatened in the top of the sixth inning as a two-out walk and a base hit put Buckeye runners on the corners, but King got out of the jam as a bunt attempt by Amy Balich was popped up and caught by Gordon at first to end the inning.

Leslie Farris made it a 3-1 game with a solo home run to left in the bottom of the sixth, her first of the season and third of her career.

King (3-0) closed out the game in the seventh as she recorded her third complete-game victory of the season. The redshirt senior scattered four hits and a walk, allowed one run and recorded a season-high 11 strikeouts in the win.

Game Two: No. 1 Florida State 7, No. 3 Oklahoma 4
Florida State jumped out to an early lead in the top of the second against Oklahoma on home runs by Dani Morgan and Davis. Morgan hit a solo HR inside the left field foul pole, and following a two-out single by Casas, Davis crushed her first HR of the season to left center to make it 3-0 FSU.

Davis started the game in the circle and pitched out of a jam in the first inning as she induced a double play after a pair of one-out singles by Oklahoma. In the second inning, Oklahoma tied the game on a wild pitch, an FSU error and an RBI triple by Caleigh Clifton. Kathryn Sandercock replaced Davis in the circle and ended the inning with a groundout to the circle.

A solo home run by Sydney Romero gave Oklahoma a 4-3 lead in the bottom of the third, but the Seminoles battled back in the top of the fourth as back-to-back home runs by Mason and Shelnutt put the Noles back in front by a score of 5-4.

After a single by Harrod and a stolen base with one out in the FSU fifth inning, Gordon hit her second HR of the season to push the Seminole advantage to 7-4.

Mackenzie Puckett drew a pinch-hit walk in the top of the seventh, marking her sixth walk in six career plate appearances. The six consecutive walks are tied for 16th in NCAA history.

Sandercock (3-0) retired 12 of the last 13 batters she faced to secure the win, including a game-ending 6-4-3 double play. The freshman went 5.1 innings in the circle and allowed one run on three hits with zero walks and two strikeouts.

Florida State 7, Oklahoma 4
02/15/2019, St. Pete/Clearwater Elite Invitational, Clearwater, Fla.

From the FSU Website, seminoles.com.

No. 1 Florida State Tops Ohio State And No. 3 Oklahoma On Friday.
The Seminoles are perfect on the first day of the St. Pete/Clearwater Elite Invitational.

CLEARWATER, Fla. — Using strong pitching in game one and an explosive offense in game two, No. 1 Florida State (7-0) earned a pair of wins on Friday at the St. Pete/Clearwater Elite Invitational. Meghan King recorded 11 strikeouts in a 3-1 win over Ohio State (3-2) and the Seminoles launched five home runs to take a 7-4 victory against No. 3 Oklahoma (8-1).

The lower half of the Seminole order carried Florida State on Friday as batters 5-9 in the lineup hit 11-for-29 on the day, including two doubles, five home runs, seven RBI and seven runs scored.

The five home runs against the No. 3 Sooners matched the most that OU has allowed since 2004, and ties the five-HR performance the Noles had at Syracuse on April 8, 2017.

“Thrilled with the way the team performed today,” said FSU head coach Lonni Alameda. “We faced a lot of adversity, but were able to work through them and grow a lot as individuals and as a team. Obviously pleased with the wins, but love the challenges and competition that we faced today, and will face throughout the weekend, that will help us develop through the season. Two complete team wins today.”

Game One: No. 1 Florida State 3, RV Ohio State 1
Meghan King started the game against Ohio State with four perfect innings in the circle, retiring each of the first 12 batters she faced, including nine strikeouts.

The Seminoles had their chances in the early innings as Cali Harrod started the FSU first with a walk, stole second and moved to third on a ground out. Elizabeth Mason drew a walk of her own and stole second, but both were left stranded on a lineout to shortstop.

Morgan Noah opened the FSU third inning with a single up the middle, took second on a wild pitch by OSU’s Lauren Rice and advanced to third with one out on a sacrifice bunt by Harrod. Carsyn Gordon reached on a fielder’s choice to short, and advanced to third on the play as Noah was retired in a rundown at home. Sydney Sherrill walked, but a leaping grab by Ohio State’s Lilli Piper ended the inning.

Florida State opened the scoring in the bottom of the fourth as Anna Shelnutt led off the inning with a solo home run to left. Back-to-back one-out doubles by Zoe Casas and Cassidy Davis extended the FSU lead to 2-0, causing Ohio State to make a pitching change and bring in Kat Duvall.

Morgan Noah lined a single to left to continue the inning, but a rundown and a groundout ended the inning.

Ohio State ended the perfect game with a solo home run by Kaitlyn Coffman with two outs in the fifth inning, to cut the Seminole lead to 2-1. It marked the first base hit allowed by Florida State in 11.0 innings, dating back to February 9 against Iowa State. The Buckeyes continued the inning on an FSU error and a base hit, but King ended the inning with her 11th strikeout of the game.

Ohio State threatened in the top of the sixth inning as a two-out walk and a base hit put Buckeye runners on the corners, but King got out of the jam as a bunt attempt by Amy Balich was popped up and caught by Gordon at first to end the inning.

Leslie Farris made it a 3-1 game with a solo home run to left in the bottom of the sixth, her first of the season and third of her career.

King (3-0) closed out the game in the seventh as she recorded her third complete-game victory of the season. The redshirt senior scattered four hits and a walk, allowed one run and recorded a season-high 11 strikeouts in the win.

Game Two: No. 1 Florida State 7, No. 3 Oklahoma 4
Florida State jumped out to an early lead in the top of the second against Oklahoma on home runs by Dani Morgan and Davis. Morgan hit a solo HR inside the left field foul pole, and following a two-out single by Casas, Davis crushed her first HR of the season to left center to make it 3-0 FSU.

Davis started the game in the circle and pitched out of a jam in the first inning as she induced a double play after a pair of one-out singles by Oklahoma. In the second inning, Oklahoma tied the game on a wild pitch, an FSU error and an RBI triple by Caleigh Clifton. Kathryn Sandercock replaced Davis in the circle and ended the inning with a groundout to the circle.

A solo home run by Sydney Romero gave Oklahoma a 4-3 lead in the bottom of the third, but the Seminoles battled back in the top of the fourth as back-to-back home runs by Mason and Shelnutt put the Noles back in front by a score of 5-4.

After a single by Harrod and a stolen base with one out in the FSU fifth inning, Gordon hit her second HR of the season to push the Seminole advantage to 7-4.

Mackenzie Puckett drew a pinch-hit walk in the top of the seventh, marking her sixth walk in six career plate appearances. The six consecutive walks are tied for 16th in NCAA history.

Sandercock (3-0) retired 12 of the last 13 batters she faced to secure the win, including a game-ending 6-4-3 double play. The freshman went 5.1 innings in the circle and allowed one run on three hits with zero walks and two strikeouts.

Florida State 9, Louisiana State 1
02/16/2019, St. Pete/Clearwater Elite Invitational, Clearwater, Fla.

From the FSU Website, seminoles.com.

No. 1 Seminoles Run-Rule No. 8 LSU, 9-1.
Florida State remains undefeated on the season with another Top-10 victory.

CLEARWATER, Fla. — Scoring in four of its six innings at the plate, culminating with a game-ending two-run home run by Cali Harrod, No. 1 Florida State (8-0) dominated No. 8 LSU (9-2) and posted a 9-1 victory in six innings over the Tigers on Saturday in the Noles’ first game of the day at the 2019 St. Pete/Clearwater Elite Invitational.

It is the third run-rule victory of a ranked team for Florida State under head coach Lonni Alameda, joining an 8-0, five-inning win over No. 19 Louisiana on April 4, 2018 and a 9-1 victory in six innings over No. 25 Hofstra (February 16, 2013).

“Proud of the girls to come out in a great postseason atmosphere,” said Alameda. “That is a good ball club we beat today, but we are playing team softball right now. On and off the field, the energy as a team to be in every pitch is really exciting to see to start off the season.”

Florida State started the first inning against LSU with a walk from Cali Harrod and a single by Carsyn Gordon. After a fly out moved Harrod to third, she came into score on a fielder’s choice as Harrod was obstructed by the LSU catcher, putting the FSU up 1-0.

The Seminoles added two more runs in the bottom of the second, both with two outs, to extend the lead to 3-0. Zoe Casas started the inning with a single up the middle and moved up to third base on a pair of groundouts. Harrod lined an RBI double to the wall in right and Gordon followed with an RBI single up the middle.

FSU starting pitcher Meghan King made quick work of the Tigers through the first two innings, retiring six of the seven batters she faced, including five strikeouts. In the third, LSU started the frame with a pair of singles to put runners on first and second with nobody out. King induced a bunt pop out for out number one and Casas made a catch, crashing into the wall in left for the second out of the inning. After a walk loaded the bases, King ended the inning with a strikeout.

LSU got on the board in the top of the fifth inning as Amber Serrett led off with a solo home run down the left field line. Four of the eight runs allowed by Florida State this season have been from solo home runs.

The Seminoles came right back with three runs in the bottom of the fifth to make it a 6-1 game. Consecutive one-out singles by Gordon, Sydney Sherrill and Elizabeth Mason brought in the first run of the inning. Anna Shelnutt lifted a sacrifice fly to center to bring in Sherrill, but an errant throw by LSU’s Aliyah Andrews allowed Mason to also score on the play.

Kara Bilodeau entered the circle to replace Meghan King to start the sixth inning. The sophomore allowed a leadoff single to Shelbi Sunseri, but ended the inning with three consecutive groundouts. King (4-0) ended with 5.0 innings with one run allowed on five hits with one walk and eight strikeouts.

The Noles ended the game with a three-run sixth inning to secure the 9-1 victory. Cassidy Davis started the frame with a single up the middle and Leslie Farris battle a nine-pitch at bat before lining an RBI triple to right field. Harrod launched her first home run of the season to end the game.

Florida State Cruises To 17-6 Win Over RV Minnesota.
The No. 1 Seminoles hit eight extra-base hits in the win on Saturday night.

CLEARWATER, Fla. — Launching three home runs as part of an eight extra-base hit game, No. 1 Florida State (9-0) remained perfect on the season after a 17-6 victory over RV Minnesota (3-3) on Saturday night at the 2019 St. Pete/Clearwater Elite Invitational.

Florida State brought in five runs in the first inning, has scored 23 of its 67 runs this season in the opening frame and have scored at least one run in the first in six of its nine games this season.

With home runs from Dani Morgan, Zoe Casas and Sydney Sherrill, Florida State now has 15 home runs through its first nine games. Those 15 HRs are spread among nine different players in the lineup.

With Sunday’s games remaining, Florida State is the only team without a loss at the St. Pete/Clearwater Elite Invitational, as all 15 other teams have at least one loss at the Eddie C. Moore Complex on the weekend.

“Obviously, a lot of positives from what we did offensively and defensively, but there were a lot of learning moments and situations that we were able to put the young players in challenging situations,” said FSU head coach Lonni Alameda. “Pleased with where the team is at right now and where we are on our climb up the mountain. Time to get some rest before coming back for two more challenging games tomorrow.”

Florida State jumped out to an early lead with a five-run first inning, started by an RBI single by Elizabeth Mason after consecutive walks to Carsyn Gordon and Sherrill. Anna Shelnutt popped the ball into shallow left, but the Minnesota SS dropped the ball, allowing Sherrill to score and make it 2-0 Noles.

Consecutive singles by Morgan and Casas extended the lead to 3-0 FSU, and Cassidy Davis’ fly ball to right center hit off the top of the wall for a two-RBI triple, the first triple of her career.

Davis started the game in the circle for the Noles and opened the Gopher first inning with a strikeout, before Minnesota put together a single, a walk and an RBI single to cut the FSU lead to 5-1. Davis got out of the inning as a line out and a strikeout ended the threat.

Sherrill crushed her third home run of the season to left center in the top of the second inning, pushing the Seminole advantage back out to 6-1.

Kathryn Sandercock entered to pitch for the Minnesota second inning, and after a leadoff walk, looked like she was going to get out of the inning unscathed, but a two-out walk and a two-run triple made it a three-run game.

Back-to-back solo home runs in the top of the third inning by Morgan and Casas made it an 8-3 FSU lead. It marked the third time this season that the Seminoles have hit back-to-back home runs.

Minnesota threatened in the fourth inning as the Gophers loaded the bases with one out on a walk and a pair of infield singles. Sandercock battled back and struck out the next two hitters to get out of the jam.

The Seminoles added four more runs in the top of the fifth, highlighted by a bases-clearing double by Sherrill, her second double of the game. Harrod also added an RBI single in the inning.

Kara Bilodeau replaced Sandercock to start the Minnesota fifth and the Gophers cut the FSU lead to 12-5 after a one-out, two-run home run by Natalie DenHartog. Bilodeau ended the inning after retiring the next two hitters on a fly out and a pop out.

Morgan Noah started the Seminole seventh with a double to left and Savannah Parker followed with a pinch-hit walk. Gordon struck out on a ball in the dirt, but a throwing error on the catcher, followed by a throwing error by the right fielder allowed two runs to score, making it a 14-5 game. Mason drew a walk and Leslie Farris hit her second triple of the season to drive in two more runs. Farris came in to score on an infield RBI single by Morgan.

Davis re-entered to pitch the seventh inning and Minnesota got a run back after a double, a wild pitch and a groundout. Davis ended the game with a fly out and a strikeout.

Sandercock (4-0) picked up the win with 3.0 innings of work, allowing two runs on three hits with four walks and four strikeouts. Davis gave up two runs on four hits with two walks and three strikeouts over 2.0 innings. Bilodeau tossed 2.0 innings of relief and allowed three hits and two runs.

No. 1 Seminoles Complete Perfect Weekend In Clearwater.
Florida State defeats Florida Atlantic and Tennessee to remain undefeated on the season.

CLEARWATER, Fla. — Whether hitting home runs or robbing them, No. 1 Florida State (11-0) remained undefeated on the season after defeating Florida Atlantic (3-7) by a score of 10-5 and capping the night with a 5-2 victory against No. 6 Tennessee (8-2) at the St. Pete/Clearwater Elite Invitational on Sunday night.

The Seminoles were firing on all cylinders in their six wins at the tournament, batting .375 as a team with a .720 slugging percentage, outscoring their opponents 51-19 and crushing 15 home runs, spread among nine different players.

One ball that also seemed destined for a home run was robbed by Dani Morgan in the fourth inning on Sunday night against Tennessee, bringing back a potential game-tying HR.

The Noles are now on a 17-game winning streak, which is tied for the 13th-longest streak in program history. Florida State has 10 wins over ranked teams over that span, all in the Top 10 of the polls.

“I don’t think we really knew what to expect with this weekend, but we knew it was going to be competitive,” said FSU head coach Lonni Alameda. “What we’ve seen is that we gained a lot of experience in being confident from the World Series and that has shown up here. Meghan King has been in big moments and she’s still laughing and relaxed and playing the game. I’m most impressed with how the team is playing the game within the game, and having so much fun in being in the right spot for the right pitch, or getting a swing off for the team. The mental things that we’ve been working on are showing up for us early in the season, more than it ever has before.”

Game One: No. 1 Florida State 10, Florida Atlantic 5
FSU had runners on in each of the first two innings, but did not bring a run across until the third when Carsyn Gordon lined a two-out single to right and came into score on an RBI double by Sydney Sherrill, her fourth double of the season. The Noles loaded the bases on an infield single by Elizabeth Mason and a walk to Anna Shelnutt, but a groundout ended the inning.

Kathryn Sandercock retired the first seven batters she faced in the circle, including two strikeouts and a diving catch in right center by Mason. After allowing a bunt single, FAU loaded the bases with two outs after a fielder’s choice and a single up the middle, but the Seminoles got out of the jam as Sandercock induced a ground out to second base to end the inning.

The Seminoles threatened in the top of the fourth inning as they loaded the bases on singles by Zoe Casas and Cali Harrod, as well as a walk by Gordon, but a fly out to center left the bases full.

Florida Atlantic started the bottom of the fourth inning with a trio of singles to square the game at 1-1. A sacrifice bunt moved the runners to second and third with one out and an infield single, along with a baserunning miscue resulted in the second out of the inning.

A fielding error on a batted ball from the leadoff hitter was followed by an RBI triple to right center. The next batter was hit by a pitch to put runners on the corners, but Sandercock came back with a pair of strikeouts.

Back-to-back home runs by Florida State in the bottom of the third inning extended the Seminole lead to 5-0. Gordon singled through the right side and scored on Sherrill’s HR to right center, her fourth HR of the season. Mason followed with her third home run of the season, marking the fourth time this season that Florida State had hit back-to-back home runs.

FSU starter Meghan King took a perfect game into the fourth inning, retiring the first 10 batters she faced with five strikeouts before allowing a single to Amanda Ayala. A walk and a single loaded the bases before King got the next batter to pop out for the second out of the inning. Ally Shipman lined a single up the middle, scoring two runs to cut the lead to 5-2.

Tennessee pinch-hitter Haley Bearden followed with a long fly ball to left center, but FSU centerfielder Dani Morgan jumped above the wall to rob a game-tying home run and end the inning.

The Noles put a pair of runners on in the fourth inning on singles by Davis and Harrod, but couldn’t push a run across.

The Volunteers threatened in the top of the fifth, putting runners on second and third with two outs after a pair of singles and a ground out, but the Noles got out of the inning on a line out to left field.

No. 1 Seminoles Complete Perfect Weekend In Clearwater.
Florida State defeats Florida Atlantic and Tennessee to remain undefeated on the season.

CLEARWATER, Fla. — Whether hitting home runs or robbing them, No. 1 Florida State (11-0) remained undefeated on the season after defeating Florida Atlantic (3-7) by a score of 10-5 and capping the night with a 5-2 victory against No. 6 Tennessee (8-2) at the St. Pete/Clearwater Elite Invitational on Sunday night.

The Seminoles were firing on all cylinders in their six wins at the tournament, batting .375 as a team with a .720 slugging percentage, outscoring their opponents 51-19 and crushing 15 home runs, spread among nine different players.

One ball that also seemed destined for a home run was robbed by Dani Morgan in the fourth inning on Sunday night against Tennessee, bringing back a potential game-tying HR.

The Noles are now on a 17-game winning streak, which is tied for the 13th-longest streak in program history. Florida State has 10 wins over ranked teams over that span, all in the Top 10 of the polls.

“I don’t think we really knew what to expect with this weekend, but we knew it was going to be competitive,” said FSU head coach Lonni Alameda. “What we’ve seen is that we gained a lot of experience in being confident from the World Series and that has shown up here. Meghan King has been in big moments and she’s still laughing and relaxed and playing the game. I’m most impressed with how the team is playing the game within the game, and having so much fun in being in the right spot for the right pitch, or getting a swing off for the team. The mental things that we’ve been working on are showing up for us early in the season, more than it ever has before.”

Game One: No. 1 Florida State 10, Florida Atlantic 5
FSU had runners on in each of the first two innings, but did not bring a run across until the third when Carsyn Gordon lined a two-out single to right and came into score on an RBI double by Sydney Sherrill, her fourth double of the season. The Noles loaded the bases on an infield single by Elizabeth Mason and a walk to Anna Shelnutt, but a groundout ended the inning.

Kathryn Sandercock retired the first seven batters she faced in the circle, including two strikeouts and a diving catch in right center by Mason.

No. 1 Seminoles Extend Winning Streak To 18 Games.
Florida State defeated South Alabama, 4-1, on Wednesday night.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Matching the 10th-longest winning streak in program history, No. 1 Florida State (12-0) won its 18th consecutive game on Wednesday night with a 4-1 win over South Alabama (4-5) at JoAnne Graf Field.

“I think we could have been a bit better tonight with attacking the ball and some team at bats, but those are all learning lessons,” said FSU head coach Lonni Alameda. “It’s a long season, and as long as we have things to improve on and are still getting the W in the end, that’s pretty good.”

Cali Harrod led off the FSU first inning with a triple to right center and later scored on an RBI single by Carsyn Gordon. Florida State has scored in the first inning in eight of its 12 games played this season, and have had baserunners in the first inning in all 12 games.

South Alabama threatened in the top of the second inning as the Jaguars got the first two batters on base via a hit-by-pitch and a fielder’s choice. FSU starting pitcher Kathryn Sandercock got out of the inning by retiring the next three hitters on groundouts.

The Seminoles loaded the bases in the bottom of the second inning on walks to Morgan Noah, Harrod and Sydney Sherrill, but a strikeout left them all on base.

Sandercock was replaced in the circle for the top of the fourth by Meghan King. The freshman did not allow a hit or a run in her 3.0 innings with one walk and one strikeout.

King retired the first six batters she faced, including two strikeouts, before allowing the first South Alabama hit of the game on a leadoff double in the top of the sixth inning. A one-out RBI double by Kamdyn Kvistad cut the Seminole lead to 2-1, but King got out of the inning without further damage after a pop out and a strikeout.

Noah led off the Seminoles sixth inning with a walk and stole second, her second SB of the game, followed by a walk by Harrod and a one-out single by Sherrill to load the bases. Anna Shelnutt extended the Seminole lead with a sacrifice fly to left, and Zoe Casas lined an RBI single through the right side to make it a 4-1 game. The single extended Casas’ hitting streak to 13 games.

After a strikeout by King to start the South Alabama seventh inning, Davis finished the game in the circle for the Noles with a groundout and a pop out.

King improved to 6-0 on the season, allowing one run on two hits with zero walks and five strikeouts over 3.1 innings.

Seminoles’ Offense Explodes In Pair Of Run-Rule Wins.
No. 1 Florida State batted .510 as a team on Friday in victories against Elon and Lipscomb.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Scoring a combined nine runs in the first inning on Friday, No. 1 Florida State (14-0) earned a sweep on day one of the 2019 Unconquered Invitational with a 15-1 win over Elon (6-4) and a 13-0 victory against Lipscomb (7-5) on Friday at JoAnne Graf Field.

The Seminoles have now scored in 10 of their 14 first innings so far this season and 34 of their 114 runs in 2019 have come during FSU’s first time at the plate.

Overall on Friday, the Noles batted a combined .510 at the plate with a .980 slugging percentage on six doubles, six home runs and 10 walks. Fourteen different players scored a run, 13 different Seminoles had a base hit and 11 separate players drove in an RBI.

“I think what we are most impressed with is the Team Run mentality,” said FSU head coach Lonni Alameda. “We are having good situational hitting, players are getting swings off in counts that we need them to, and they are able to do some damage. They are playing smart by coming to the plate with a plan and sticking to it. It is great to see that we are playing team softball right now.

“The thing that is nice is that we are getting a lot of our kids off the bench opportunities and some at bats that are going to be big for us down the line. So it was a good, full team effort with team at bats and a team mindset.”

Game One: No. 1 Florida State 15, Elon 1
Florida State jumped out to an early lead against Elon with a five-run first inning, highlighted by a two-run home run by Carsyn Gordon. Walks to Sydney Sherrill to Elizabeth Mason turned into another run as Zoe Casas singled up the middle. Cassidy Davis brought in another RBI with a groundout and a Dani Morgan sacrifice fly made it 5-0 after the first inning.

The Seminoles brought 11 batters to the plate in the second inning to take a 12-0 lead. Hits by Cali Harrod and Gordon, along with a walk by Sherrill loaded the bases and Harrod scored on a wild pitch. Casas reached on an RBI fielder’s choice and another run scored on an Elon error with two outs off the bat of Makinzy Herzog. Morgan Noah hit a bases-loaded RBI single, and Harrod emptied them with a three-run double to center to close out the inning.

Kara Bilodeau started in the circle for the Noles and scattered a run on two hits with a walk and five strikeouts over the first 2.2 innings, before being replaced in the circle by Kathryn Sandercock. Sandercock (6-0) retired seven of the eight batters she faced, allowing just one hit over 2.1 innings with three strikeouts to get the win in relief.

Deja Bush started the FSU fourth inning with an infield single and Savannah Parker recorded her first collegiate hit, a home run to left to extend the lead to 14-1. She is the first Seminole to hit a home run for her first hit since Sydney Sherrill in 2018. Leslie Farris added a solo home run in the inning as well.

Game Two: No. 1 Florida State 13, Lipscomb 0
Lipscomb threatened in the first inning as after Meghan King struck out the first two batters she faced, a single and a double put a pair of runners in scoring position, but a groundout to shortstop ended the inning.

The first five Seminole batters of the game all reached base in a four-run first inning, including a two-RBI single by Mason, an RBI base hit by Anna Shelnutt and a RBI on a fielder’s choice by Davis.

Florida State added six runs on five hits, including two home runs and two doubles, to make it a 10-0 game after the second inning. Harrod led off with a home run to left, followed by a two-run HR by Sherrill, her fifth of the season. A pair of Lipscomb errors allowed Davis two bring in two more runs on a double to right center, and after a double by Morgan, Noah added the final run of the inning on a groundout RBI.

A three-run fourth inning began with a solo home run by Shelnutt, and RBIs by Noah and Parker closed out the scoring as Herzog and Morgan also had doubles during the inning.

Meghan King (7-0) won her 19th consecutive decision in the circle allowing just two hits and a walk with five strikeouts over 3.2 innings. Davis tossed the final 1.1 IP with one hit, one walk and two strikeouts.

Seminoles’ Offense Explodes In Pair Of Run-Rule Wins.
No. 1 Florida State batted .510 as a team on Friday in victories against Elon and Lipscomb.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Scoring a combined nine runs in the first inning on Friday, No. 1 Florida State (14-0) earned a sweep on day one of the 2019 Unconquered Invitational with a 15-1 win over Elon (6-4) and a 13-0 victory against Lipscomb (7-5) on Friday at JoAnne Graf Field.

The Seminoles have now scored in 10 of their 14 first innings so far this season and 34 of their 114 runs in 2019 have come during FSU’s first time at the plate.

Overall on Friday, the Noles batted a combined .510 at the plate with a .980 slugging percentage on six doubles, six home runs and 10 walks. Fourteen different players scored a run, 13 different Seminoles had a base hit and 11 separate players drove in an RBI.

“I think what we are most impressed with is the Team Run mentality,” said FSU head coach Lonni Alameda. “We are having good situational hitting, players are getting swings off in counts that we need them to, and they are able to do some damage. They are playing smart by coming to the plate with a plan and sticking to it. It is great to see that we are playing team softball right now.

“The thing that is nice is that we are getting a lot of our kids off the bench opportunities and some at bats that are going to be big for us down the line. So it was a good, full team effort with team at bats and a team mindset.”

Game One: No. 1 Florida State 15, Elon 1
Florida State jumped out to an early lead against Elon with a five-run first inning, highlighted by a two-run home run by Carsyn Gordon. Walks to Sydney Sherrill to Elizabeth Mason turned into another run as Zoe Casas singled up the middle. Cassidy Davis brought in another RBI with a groundout and a Dani Morgan sacrifice fly made it 5-0 after the first inning.

The Seminoles brought 11 batters to the plate in the second inning to take a 12-0 lead. Hits by Cali Harrod and Gordon, along with a walk by Sherrill loaded the bases and Harrod scored on a wild pitch. Casas reached on an RBI fielder’s choice and another run scored on an Elon error with two outs off the bat of Makinzy Herzog. Morgan Noah hit a bases-loaded RBI single, and Harrod emptied them with a three-run double to center to close out the inning.

Kara Bilodeau started in the circle for the Noles and scattered a run on two hits with a walk and five strikeouts over the first 2.2 innings, before being replaced in the circle by Kathryn Sandercock. Sandercock (6-0) retired seven of the eight batters she faced, allowing just one hit over 2.1 innings with three strikeouts to get the win in relief.

Deja Bush started the FSU fourth inning with an infield single and Savannah Parker recorded her first collegiate hit, a home run to left to extend the lead to 14-1. She is the first Seminole to hit a home run for her first hit since Sydney Sherrill in 2018. Leslie Farris added a solo home run in the inning as well.

Game Two: No. 1 Florida State 13, Lipscomb 0
Lipscomb threatened in the first inning as after Meghan King struck out the first two batters she faced, a single and a double put a pair of runners in scoring position, but a groundout to shortstop ended the inning.

The first five Seminole batters of the game all reached base in a four-run first inning, including a two-RBI single by Mason, an RBI base hit by Anna Shelnutt and a RBI on a fielder’s choice by Davis.

Harrod led off with a home run to left, followed by a two-run HR by Sherrill, her fifth of the season. A pair of Lipscomb errors allowed Davis two bring in two more runs on a double to right center, and after a double by Morgan, Noah added the final run of the inning on a groundout RBI.

A three-run fourth inning began with a solo home run by Shelnutt, and RBIs by Noah and Parker closed out the scoring as Herzog and Morgan also had doubles during the inning.

Meghan King (7-0) won her 19th consecutive decision in the circle allowing just two hits and a walk with five strikeouts over 3.2 innings. Davis tossed the final 1.1 IP with one hit, one walk and two strikeouts.

Complete Offensive Performance Extends No. 1 FSU’s Winning Streak to 22 Games.
The Seminoles earn wins over Samford (13-0) and Lipscomb (14-2) on Saturday afternoon.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Scoring early and often, No. 1 Florida State (16-0) remained undefeated after a pair of run-rule wins on Saturday, defeating Samford (5-10) by a score of 13-0 and wrapping up the day with a 14-2 win against Lipscomb (7-6) in day two of the Unconquered Invitational.

The Seminoles started strong in both games, plating eight runs in the first inning against the Bulldogs and five versus the Bisons. Overall, 47 of Florida State’s 141 runs scored this season have come in the first inning.

Seven different players had at least three RBI over both games on Saturday, including five by Elizabeth Mason and Cassidy Davis. Davis increased her team lead in RBI to 20, and she is one of eight Seminoles to have double-digit RBI totals already in 2019.

The Seminoles have scored at least 13 runs in each of their last four games, marking the second time in program history that FSU has scored double-digit runs in four consecutive games, matching the results from the 2017 season when the Noles earned wins by the score of 12-3 (CSUN), 17-3 (UC Davis), 10-0 (CSUN) and 10-1 (Cal State Fullerton) from March 5-8.

“We are playing some good, cohesive softball right now,” said FSU head coach Lonni Alameda. “We are still growing and learning, but to be able to get the swings off and be in attack mode from the first pitch has been instrumental to our success. There has been good situational hitting, big swings and good baserunnning. There are a lot of positive things happening and we are getting better every time out.”

Game One: No. 1 Florida State 13, Samford 0
The Seminoles brought 12 batters to the plate to break open the game with eight runs in the first inning. Cali Harrod led off with a single and stole second, and after a walk to Carsyn Gordon, Mason put the Noles on the board with an RBI double to right center.

Anna Shelnutt followed with a two-run single to left and Davis made it 5-0 FSU with a solo home run to center. A trio of walks to Dani Morgan, Savannah Parker and Harrod loaded the bases, and a double to left center by Gordon cleared them all for an 8-0 Seminole lead.

Shelnutt hit a solo home run in the second inning and Florida State brought in two more runs in the third on RBI singles by Mason and Deja Bush.

Makinzy Herzog led off the FSU fourth with an infield single, and walks to Gordon and Sydney Sherrill loaded the bases and Mason hit her secod double of the game to make it a 13-0 game.

Herzog, Davis and Kara Bilodeau combined for the five-inning shutout as Herzog earned her first collegiate win in the circle, scattering two hits and two walks over 3.0 innings with five strikeouts, setting career highs in all categories. Davis allowed one hit in the fourth inning, while Bilodeau gave up one hit in a scoreless fifth while recording two strikeouts.

Game Two: No. 1 Florida State 14, Lipscomb 2
Lipscomb scored an unearned run in the top of the first on a pair of singles, a fielder’s choice and a Seminole error, but the lead for the Bisons was short-lived, as Florida State came back with five runs in the bottom of the frame.

Harrod opened with a walk, stole second and scored on an RBI single by Sherrill. Mason followed with a single to center and Davis drove in two runs on a single up the middle. Morgan closed out the scoring with a home run to left center, her third of the season.

Lipscomb cut the lead to 5-2 in the top of the third as FSU starting pitcher allowed a single to Peyton Ward, she moved to second on a groundout and scored on an RBI single by Hannah Devault. Sandercock retired the next three hitters she faced, before being replaced in the circle by Meghan King. Sanderock (7-0) earned the win with 3.2 innings pitched, five hits, two runs, one earned, with zero walks or strikeouts. King pitched the final 1.1 innings to pick up her first save of the season, striking out two.

It marked King’s ninth career save, tying the school record set by Jessica Burroughs (2014-17) and Jessica Nori (2011-14).

Florida State exploded for nine runs in the bottom of the fourth to secure the 14-2 run-rule victory. The first eight batters all reached base before an out was recorded, including singles by Leslie Farris, Herzog, Harrod, Sherrill, Mason and Davis, along with walks to Gordon and Shelnutt. Parker added a single later in the inning and Harrod brought in the final two runs of the game on a double down the left field line.

Florida State 13, Samford 1
02/24/2019, Unconquered Invitational, Tallahassee, Fla.

From the FSU Website, seminoles.com.

Lonni Alameda Wins No. 500 At FSU On Sunday.
No. 1 Florida State defeats Samford, 13-1, to close out the Unconquered Invitational.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — With a 13-1 victory over Samford (5-11) on Sunday, FSU head coach Lonni Alameda won her 500th game in her 11th season as the Seminole skipper (500-150-1, .769 winning percentage). She now holds a career record of 657-308-2, as she coached at UNLV from 2004-08.

No. 1 Florida State (17-0) now holds the third-longest winning streak to start a season and, combined with six victories to finish the 2018 season, have won 23 consecutive games, which ranks as the sixth-longest winning streak in school history.

The Seminoles opened with a seven-run first inning to cruise to the run-rule victory. It marked the seventh consecutive game that Florida State had scored a run in the first inning and the 13th time in the 17 games this season. Overall, 54 of Florida State’s 154 runs have come in the first inning of games, including 29 during the five games of the Unconquered Invitational.

The 13 runs scored on Sunday marks the first time in program history that the Seminoles have scored 10+ runs in five consecutive games.

“Definitely scoring first relaxes everybody, especially pitchers and defense,” said Alameda. “It is a main goal of ours to score first, whether it is in the first inning or not. The kids have been great with sticking with their plans and Travis (Wilson) and Craig (Snider) do a great job with the hitters. But there is a lot of buy-in right now and a lot of team at bats, and it is really good to see.”

The first seven Seminole batters of the game reached base and scored before the first out of the inning was recorded. Cali Harrod began with a single and a stolen base and, after a Carsyn Gordon walk, Sydney Sherrill launched her sixth home run of the season off the scoreboard in right center. Elizabeth Mason walked and an infield single by Anna Shelnutt allowed Cassidy Davis to bring in another run with a double to left center. Dani Morgan made it 7-0 with a three-run home run to left center, her fourth HR of the season.

Samford scored an unearned run in the top of the second after a leadoff walk and a three-base error during a rundown between first and second base.

Florida State plated three runs in the bottom of the second on doubles by Sherrill, Mason and Savannah Parker, as well as a single by Davis.

Harrod began the Seminole third inning with a solo home run to center. Shelnutt brought in a run on a sacrifice fly after a single from Gordon and another double by Mason.

Parker hit her second extra-base hit of the game with a solo home run to right field to lead off the bottom of the fourth inning. Madison Kennedy hit her first career hit later in the inning, a double to right center.

Meghan King (8-0) allowed just one hit and one unearned run over 3.0 innings with one walk and one strikeout. Herzog closed out the game with 2.0 hitless innings with a walk and a strikeout.

Florida State 5, Toledo 4
03/02/2019, UCF Invitational, Orlando, Fla.

From the FSU Website, seminoles.com.

Seminoles Extend Winning Streak To 25 Games.
No. 1 Florida State defeats Toledo, 5-4, and shuts out RV Louisiana Tech, 4-0.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Continuing its undefeated start to the season, No. 1 Florida State (19-0) extended its winning streak to 25 games after a 5-4 walk-off win against Toledo (5-8) and a 4-0 shutout of RV Louisiana Tech (15-4) on Saturday at the UCF Invitational.

The 25-game winning streak is tied for the fourth-longest winning streak in school history, matching the performance from the 1992 team from February 9 to March 18.

Sydney Sherrill hit three doubles on the day, two against Toledo and another versus Louisiana Tech, giving her 37 through her first 89 games of her career, which is tied with Courtney Senas for 10th in FSU history.

“We faced a lot of adversity today, but I was pleased with how the team fought and stayed focused,” said FSU head coach Lonni Alameda. “Toledo did a good job of keeping us off balance in the first game and took advantage of their opportunities. And Louisiana Tech is a strong team that will have a great season. Definitely a few things to work on in all facets of the game from today, but we’ll take a look at that before coming back out for two more games tomorrow.”

Game One: No. 1 Florida State 5, Toledo 4
For the eighth consecutive game, Florida State jumped out to an early lead against Toledo by scoring in the first inning as walks to Cali Harrod and Cassidy Davis, along with a hit by Sherrill, loaded the bases for Anna Shelnutt. The junior catcher hit an RBI ground out to shortstop to put the Noles in front 1-0.

The Seminoles added two more in the bottom of the second inning as Dani Morgan led off with a bunt single and stole second base. Morgan Noah drove her in with an RBI triple to right center and after a walk to Harrod, Noah scored on a double steal attempt by the Noles.

FSU starting pitcher Kathryn Sandercock faced the minimum until a two-out solo home run by Morgan Paaverud in the top of the third inning cut the Seminole lead to 3-1.

Florida State made it 4-1 after Shelnutt led off the third inning with a triple down the right field line and scored on an RBI groundout by Zoe Casas.

Toledo opened the top of the fourth inning with a pair of singles, and after a sacrifice bunt, brought in two runs on a single to right center by Brittney Davis. Davis moved to second on a groundout to third and scored on an RBI single by Bekah Yenrik to tie the game at 4-4.

A scoreless fourth inning by the Seminoles snapped a streak of eight consecutive innings with at least one run, dating back to February 23 against Lipscomb.

Davis came in to pitch for Sandercock in the fifth inning and retired nine of the 10 batters she faced without allowing a hit or a walk to pick up her first win of the season. Sandercock allowed four runs on six hits with zero walks and one strikeout over 4.0 innings in the no-decision.

The Seminoles earned the walk-off win in the bottom of the seventh as Sherrill led off with her second double of the game, a line drive to left center. She scored the game-winning run on an RBI double by Shelnutt, as she finished the game a home run short of the cycle.

Game Two: No. 1 Florida State 4, RV Louisiana Tech 0
The game between Florida State and Louisiana Tech started out as a pitcher’s duel between Meghan King and Preslee Gallaway as each team only got one runner to second base through the first four innings on doubles by La Tech’s Morgan Turkoly in the first and FSU’s Sherrill in the fourth.

Casas began the FSU fifth inning with a double to right field and was pinch-run for by Deja Bush. Morgan lined an RBI single to center to put the Seminoles up 1-0.

The Seminoles added three more runs in the bottom of the sixth, all with two outs, as singles by Sherrill and Elizabeth Mason put runners on and Casas drove an RBI single to left to make it 2-0 Noles. Morgan lined the first pitch of her at bat to right center, bringing in two more runs for the 4-0 final score.

King retired 16 of the final 17 batters she faced to improve to 9-0 on the season with the complete-game shutout. She allowed just three hits and zero walks with four strikeouts.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Continuing its undefeated start to the season, No. 1 Florida State (19-0) extended its winning streak to 25 games after a 5-4 walk-off win against Toledo (5-8) and a 4-0 shutout of RV Louisiana Tech (15-4) on Saturday at the UCF Invitational.

Meghan King Posts 14 Ks As Noles Stay Undefeated.
The redshirt senior sets a career high as the No. 1 Seminoles defeat Dartmouth, 8-4, and UCF, 2-1, to remain undefeated on the season.

ORLANDO, Fla. — Trailing by multiple runs for the first time in 2019, No. 1 Florida State (21-0) won a pair of close games on Sunday to stay undefeated on the season. The Seminoles came from behind to win 8-4 over Dartmouth (2-8) and closed out the day with a 2-1 win at UCF (12-6).

Seven of the eight runs against Dartmouth came with two outs in the win over the Big Green, while Meghan King set a career high with 14 strikeouts in the complete game victory against the Knights.

King improved to 10-0 on the season and since April 28, 2018, she has posted a record of 22-0 over 27 appearances with a 0.90 ERA and 150 strikeouts over 140.0 IP with wins over eight ranked teams and six Top 10 teams.

The 21-game winning streak to begin the 2019 season is tied for the second-longest winning streak to begin a season, matching the 1993 team. Along with the six wins to end the 2018 season, Florida State is currently on a 27-game winning streak, which is tied for second-longest overall winning streak in program history (March 22-May 11, 2003).

“We are excited about every opportunity to come out and compete,” said FSU head coach Lonni Alameda. “It is a long season and there is a different opportunity every day to be challenged. And that is what we are doing right now. We are trying to figure out different ways to win. Good teams are able to win in different ways and that is part of the excitement right now, in that we don’t know who it is going to be. We are also figuring each other out and growing as a squad right now, and that is really exciting.”

Game One: No. 1 Florida State 8, Dartmouth 4
Dartmouth scored four unearned runs in the top of the first inning to take an early 4-0 lead. A leadoff walk and an FSU error allowed the Big Green to open the scoring on an RBI single by Billie McFayden. Taylor Ward followed with a three-run home run to left field.

Cassidy Davis put the Seminoles on the board with a solo home run in the top of the second inning to cut the Dartmouth lead to 4-1.

Makinzy Herzog replaced FSU starter Kara Bilodeau to start the second inning and Dartmouth managed to get runners to second and third with one out on a walk, an infield single and a passed ball, but Herzog got the Noles out of the inning with a pop out and a groundout.

Florida State scored three runs in the top of the fourth, all with two outs, to tie the game at 4-4. Elizabeth Mason drove a one-out single to left and scored on an RBI double to center by Davis. Following a single by Carsyn Gordon, Herzog lined the first pitch of her at bat down the right field line for a game-tying double.

Through the first 19 games of the season, Florida State had only trailed in two games for a total of four offensive at bats. On Sunday, it took the Seminoles 13 plate appearances to tie the game against Dartmouth.

Florida State took the lead in the sixth inning as Davis drew a two-out walk and was pinch-run for by Maegan Tomlinson. Gordon launched a deep home run to left center, her fourth HR of the season, to put the Seminoles in front. The home run was also Gordon’s 27th of her career, which is seventh-most in FSU history.

The Noles added a pair of insurance runs in the top of the seventh inning on an RBI double by Zoe Casas and, after Deja Bush came in to pinch run for Casas, an RBI single by Mason.

Herzog tossed 5.0 innings of scoreless relief to improve to 2-0 on the season, scattering four hits and one walk with four strikeouts. Davis closed out the game in the circle for the Noles, retiring all three batters she faced in the seventh inning.

Game Two: No. 1 Florida State 2, UCF 1
The Seminoles threatened in the top of the second inning as FSU loaded the bases with two outs on a single by Casas and walks to Davis and Leslie Farris, but a groundout left them all stranded.

FSU put the first two runners on base in the third inning on a single by Gordon and a walk by Sherrill, but three consecutive strikeouts kept the game tied at 0-0.

After striking out six of the first eight batters she faced, FSU starting pitcher Meghan King allowed three consecutive singles in the bottom of the third inning as UCF loaded the bases with one out. The redshirt senior got the Seminoles out of the jam with another strikeout and a groundout to end the inning.

Florida State put a pair of runners on in the top of the fifth inning on one-out singles by Gordon and Sherrill, but a strikeout and a groundout left them both on base.

UCF led off the bottom of the fifth inning with a triple to center by Erin Emanuel and got runners on second and third with one out after a walk and a stolen base. After a pop out in foul territory and an intentional walk to load the bases, King ended the inning with her eighth strikeout of the game.

The Seminoles had a pair of runners reach in the sixth inning on one-out singles by Davis and Herzog, but a ground out and a fly out ended the inning.

Florida State broke through in the top of the seventh as Sherrill hit a one-out single and Mason followed with a walk. Both runners moved up to second and third on a fly out to right, and a fielding error by the Knights’ first baseman allowed the Noles to take a 2-0 lead.

UCF battled in the bottom of the seventh, hitting a pair of one-out singles and the Knights were down to their final strike when Jazmine Esparza cut the lead to 2-1 with an RBI single up the middle. With the winning run on base, King ended the game with a strikeout.

Along with the career-high 14 strikeouts, King allowed one run on nine hits with two walks in the complete-game victory.

Cali Harrod Powers Seminoles To Victory Over UCF.
The senior stole career base No. 100 and added five RBI on Monday night.

ORLANDO, Fla. — Sparked by home runs by Cali Harrod in the sixth and seventh innings, No. 1 Florida State (22-0) defeated UCF (12-7) by a score of 9-3 on Monday night. The Seminoles now lead the NCAA with 38 home runs, a .385 batting average and a .685 slugging percentage.

In addition to Harrod’s 3-for-3 day at the plate with two walks and five RBI, she also added a stolen base, which was the 19th of the season and 100th of her career. Harrod now ranks sixth in school history in the category.

The victory extended FSU’s overall winning streak to 28 games, and, along with the 22-game streak to start the season, both streaks are second in school history. The 1992 team started 25-0, and from March 4-26, the 1995 Seminoles won a program-record 32 games.

The 38 home runs by Florida State through 22 games already rank 10th in FSU single-season history. The Seminoles set the school record of 76 home runs in 2018, playing a total of 70 games during the national championship season.

“Thrilled with how we competed and grew during our time here in Orlando,” said FSU head coach Lonni Alameda. “We faced a lot of adversity, needed to find different ways to win and put a bunch of players in situations and opportunities that will be huge for us later in the season. Now we head out west for some challenging games against Grand Canyon and Arizona.”

Dani Morgan put the Seminoles on the board with a two-run home run in the top of the second inning, scoring Cassidy Davis who reached on a two-out walk.

The Seminoles added two more runs in the top of the fourth inning as singles by Zoe Casas, Morgan and Makinzy Herzog loaded the bases with one out. Harrod lined a two-run single up the middle to make it a 4-0 game.

Elizabeth Mason opened the Seminole fifth inning with a double to right center and later scored on a groundout to extend the FSU lead to 5-0.

Florida State brought in two runs in the top of the sixth, both with two outs, on a solo home run by Harrod and, after a walk by Carsyn Gordon and a UCF error, Mason drove in a run with an RBI single to right center.

After issuing a leadoff walk to start the bottom of the sixth, Herzog was replaced in the circle by Davis. The freshman improved to 3-0 on the season after 5.0 scoreless innings with just two hits and two walks allowed, along with three strikeouts.

Morgan hit a one-out triple to left center in the seventh inning and Harrod crushed her second home run of the game to right center to make it a 9-0 game. It is the second time in her career that Harrod has hit two home runs in a game, matching her performance at Troy on April 18, 2017.

UCF got a run back in the bottom of the seventh on a leadoff home run by Brooke Barlow. After a strikeout and a groundout, UCF loaded the bases with two outs on three infield singles. Jazmine Esparza drove in two runs on a single to left, cutting the FSU lead to 9-3. Davis ended the game with a groundout to shortstop. Davis allowed three runs on six hits over 2.0 innings of relief with zero walks and three strikeouts.

PHOENIX — Falling for the first time 2019, No. 1 Florida State (23-1) earned a doubleheader split on the road at Grand Canyon (11-8) on Wednesday night. The Lopes took game one by a score of 5-3, and the Seminoles won game two, 11-1, in six innings.

The loss in game one of the doubleheader snapped FSU’s season-opening and overall winning streaks at 22 and 28 games, respectively. They both stand as the second-longest streak in both categories.

The Noles scored a total of six runs in the first inning on Wednesday night, marking the 16th time in 24 games that the Noles have scored a run in the first inning. FSU has scored 61 of its 196 runs this season in the first inning. The Seminoles scored 56 first inning runs in all of the 2018 NCAA National Championship season.

“Pleased with how we bounced back in game two after the loss,” said FSU head coach Lonni Alameda. “Credit to Grand Canyon. They are a tough, competitive team that can swing it. They played good defense and took advantage of their opportunities, and we have a lot of learning moments from tonight.”

Game One: Grand Canyon 5, No. 1 Florida State 3
The Seminoles jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the top of the first inning of game one on back-to-back solo home runs by Carsyn Gordon and Sydney Sherrill. It marked the fifth time this season that Florida State had hit consecutive home runs this season.

Cali Harrod led off the FSU third inning with a walk, stole second and came in to score on an RBI single by Gordon.

The Seminoles threatened in the top of the fifth inning on two-out singles by Gordon and Sherrill put runners on the corners, but an attempted first-and-third play ended with Gordon retired at the plate to end the inning.

After retiring the first six batters of the game, including three strikeouts, the first hit allowed by FSU starting pitcher Meghan King was a solo home run to left by Kaileigh Holland in the third inning. It would be the only batter to reach base until the bottom of the fifth as the Lopes opened the inning with back-to-back doubles by Sierra Smith and Savannah Tourville cut the FSU lead to 3-2.

Following an infield single, GCU tied the game at 3-3 on an RBI single to right by Jordon Keeton with one out. King left a pair of runners stranded after a pop out and a line out.

GCU took the lead in the bottom of the sixth inning as doubles by Taylor Olsen and Tourville put the Lopes in front 4-3, ending King’s day in the circle. Cassidy Davis entered with two outs in the inning and, after hitting a batter, allowed another run to score on an RBI single to left.

Makinzy Herzog hit an infield single with one out in the top of the seventh, bringing the tying run to the plate for Florida State, but a pop out and a line out ended the game.

King (10-1) lost her first game in her last 28 appearances, allowing five runs on seven hits with zero walks and seven strikeouts over 5.2 innings. Davis posted a strikeout and allowed a hit in her 0.1 innings of relief.

Game Two: No. 1 Florida State 11, Grand Canyon 1 (six innings)
Florida State came back strong in game two as the Seminoles batted around in the first inning, bringing in four runs on an RBI double by Gordon, a two-run single by Mason and an RBI double by Herzog.

The Noles made it a 7-0 game after the top of the second inning on an RBI double by Sherrill and RBI singles from Zoe Casas and Davis.

Singles by Mason and Casas put runners on first and second with one out in the FSU fourth inning, and as Herzog was retired on a close play at first for out number two, Mason aggressively scored from second on the play to extend the lead to 8-0.

FSU starting pitcher Kathryn Sandercock shined in the circle on Wednesday night, allowing only one baserunner on a hit-by-pitch through the first 3.1 innings of the game, before Shea Smith hit a solo home run in the bottom of the fourth.

Florida State scored three runs in the top of the sixth as the Noles loaded the bases with nobody out on singles by Mason and Casas, along with a walk by Deja Bush. Herzog hit an RBI groundout to score Mason and Savannah Parker made it an 11-1 game with a two-run double to right center.

Herzog entered to pitch for Sandercock to start the GCU fifth inning and she retired all six batters she faced and posted four strikeouts. Herzog has not allowed an earned run through her first 19.0 innings of work in her career, striking out 20 and giving up just eight hits.

Sandercock improved to 8-0 on the season giving up just one run on two hits over 4.0 innings without a walk with two strikeouts.

Seminoles Split Doubleheader At Grand Canyon.
No. 1 Florida State drops its first game of the season, 5-3, but comes back with an 11-1 win in game two.

PHOENIX — Falling for the first time 2019, No. 1 Florida State (23-1) earned a doubleheader split on the road at Grand Canyon (11-8) on Wednesday night. The Lopes took game one by a score of 5-3, and the Seminoles won game two, 11-1, in six innings.

FSU has scored 61 of its 196 runs this season in the first inning. The Seminoles scored 56 first inning runs in all of the 2018 NCAA National Championship season.

“Pleased with how we bounced back in game two after the loss,” said FSU head coach Lonni Alameda. “Credit to Grand Canyon. They are a tough, competitive team that can swing it. They played good defense and took advantage of their opportunities, and we have a lot of learning moments from tonight.”

Game One: Grand Canyon 5, No. 1 Florida State 3
The Seminoles jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the top of the first inning of game one on back-to-back solo home runs by Carsyn Gordon and Sydney Sherrill. It marked the fifth time this season that Florida State had hit consecutive home runs this season.

Singles by Mason and Casas put runners on first and second with one out in the FSU fourth inning, and as Herzog was retired on a close play at first for out number two, Mason aggressively scored from second on the play to extend the lead to 8-0.

FSU starting pitcher Kathryn Sandercock shined in the circle on Wednesday night, allowing only one baserunner on a hit-by-pitch through the first 3.1 innings of the game, before Shea Smith hit a solo home run in the bottom of the fourth.

Seminoles Top No. 12 Arizona, 5-3.
No. 1 Florida State earns a ranked win on the road Friday night.

TUCSON, Ariz. — In a back and forth battle on Friday night, No. 1 Florida State (24-1) defeated No. 12 Arizona (17-6) by a score of 5-3 on the road in the first game of the three-game series between the Seminoles and Wildcats.

It marked FSU’s first win at Hillenbrand Stadium in program history as the Seminoles lost each of the previous two meetings in Tucson – 8-0 in 1991 and 7-1 in 1995.

The Seminoles extended their NCAA lead in home runs on Friday with one from Cali Harrod in the top of the fourth inning for their 41st of the season. It stands as the ninth-most in FSU single season history, surpassing the 40 hit in the 2011 season.

“Tonight was everything we hoped or expected it to be,” said FSU head coach Lonni Alameda. “A competitive game, a great crowd, executing in different situations and coming away with the win. Great job by our hitters to be patient and not chase too many balls out of the zone and get quality swings off. Also proud of how Meghan (King) bounced back after Wednesday and pitched a great game for us. Now we get to work on the smart side and make some adjustments before tomorrow night.”

Florida State continued its trend of scoring in the first inning by plating two runs in the top of the first on Friday night. Back-to-back walks with one out to Carsyn Gordon and Sydney Sherrill allowed Elizabeth Mason to put the Noles on the board with an RBI double to right center. Dani Morgan followed with an RBI single to right field on the first pitch of her at bat to make it 2-0 FSU.

It marked the 17th time in 25 games this season that the Seminoles have scored in the first inning and 63 of Florida State’s 201 runs have come in the opening frame of the game.

The Seminoles threatened in the third inning, loading the bases with two outs on walks by Sherrill and Zoe Casas, along with a single by Morgan, but a strikeout left them on base.

FSU starting pitcher Meghan King was perfect in the circle until a one-out infield single by Hannah Martinez in the third inning. After a walk, Arizona tied the game with a two-run double by Alyssa Palomino. King got out of the inning with a line out and a groundout.

Makinzy Herzog began the FSU fourth inning with an infield single and scored on a two-run home run by Harrod to put Florida State back in front 4-2. It was Harrod’s 26th career home run, moving her into a tie with Yuruby Alicart (2006-07) for eighth all-time in FSU history.

Arizona got a runner to third in the bottom of the fifth on a one-out double to left by Jenna Kean and a fly out to center. But King ended of the inning with a groundout to Harrod at shortstop.

The Seminoles added a run in the top of the sixth inning without recording a hit as consecutive walks to Harrod, Gordon and Sherrill loaded the bases with two outs. Mason was hit by the first of pitch of her plate appearance, bringing in a run to extend the lead to 5-2 FSU.

The Wildcats got a run back in the sixth inning on a one-out home run by Dejah Mulipola.

Arizona drew a leadoff walk to start the bottom of the seventh, but King retired the next three batters to end the inning. King (11-1) scattered three runs on five hits with two walks and three strikeouts in the complete-game win.

Arizona’s Taylor McQuillin (7-5) took the loss after giving up a season-high five earned runs and seven walks in 6.0 innings of work.

No. 1 Florida State Falls At No. 12 Arizona To Even Series.
The Seminoles were defeated 11-3 on Saturday night at Hillenbrand Stadium.

TUCSON, Ariz. — The Wildcats showed why their offense is among the best in the country on Saturday night as No. 12 Arizona (18-6) earned an 11-3 win over No. 1 Florida State (24-2) to even the series at a game apiece.

It was the most runs allowed by Florida State since an 11-0 loss at No. 5 Oregon on May 6, 2017. The Wildcats scored in four of their five innings at the plate and six of Arizona’s 11 runs on Saturday night came with two outs in the inning.

“I loved how our kids battled throughout the game,” said FSU head coach Lonni Alameda. “Arizona came out swinging the bats and we learned a lot today. That’s why you play a three-game series, in order to get better and grow, and that’s why we came out here. We are really excited about the series wrap-up tomorrow and looking forward to the opportunity.”

For the 18th time through 26 games in 2019, Florida State scored a first inning run as Carsyn Gordon hit a solo home run to left. It nearly cleared the 20-row set of bleachers beyond the wall in left, hitting off the signage above the top row for her sixth home run of the season. It was her 29th home run of her career, which is tied with Veronica Wootson (2004-07) for fifth-most in FSU history.

FSU starting pitcher Makinzy Herzog struck out the first batter she faced, but Arizona then scored three runs on a single, an FSU error and a two-run home run by Dejah Mulipola to end Herzog’s day in the circle. Cassidy Davis entered with one out in the bottom of the first with Arizona holding a 3-1 lead and ended the inning with a groundout and a strikeout.

It marked the first runs that Herzog had allowed this season as she had tossed 19.1 scoreless innings through her first seven appearances of 2019.

Arizona scored four runs in the bottom of the second inning, all with two outs, including a two-RBI single by Jessie Harper and another two-run HR by Mulipola.

The Seminoles cut the Arizona lead to 7-3 in the top of the third inning as Herzog extended her hitting streak to nine games with a single up the middle, followed by a two-run home run by Cali Harrod. It was the 171st run scored of Harrod’s career, moving her into eighth place in FSU history, surpassing Susan Buttery (1990-93).

Arizona added two more runs in the bottom of the third as the Wildcats loaded the bases with two outs on a pair of walks and an infield single against FSU relief pitcher Kathryn Sandercock. Reyna Carranco made it 9-3 Wildcats with a two-RBI single up the middle.

The Seminoles loaded the bases in the top of the fifth inning on walks by Harrod and Elizabeth Mason, along with a two-out single by Sydney Sherrill, but a fly out to center ended the inning.

Arizona ended the game with two more runs in the bottom of the fifth inning for the 11-3 win. A pair of one-out singles by the Wildcats prompted an FSU pitching change, bringing in Kara Bilodeau. The sophomore faced one batter as Alyssa Palomino hit a two-run double to right to end the game.

Dani Morgan’s Three-Run HR Carries Noles Over Wildcats.
No. 1 Florida State earned the series win over No. 12 Arizona with a 4-3 victory on Sunday afternoon.

TUCSON, Ariz. — It was just one of a handful of batted balls from FSU that left the infield on Sunday afternoon, but a three-run home run in the top of the fifth inning by Dani Morgan was the difference as No. 1 Florida State (25-2) won the series at No. 12 Arizona (18-7) with a 4-3 victory at Hillenbrand Stadium.

Morgan’s home run was FSU’s 44th of the season, which matches the 2004 team for seventh-most in Seminole history.

“Sundays are always going to be a battle in a three-game series,” said FSU head coach Lonni Alameda. “After two games and days against an opponent, you feel like both teams know everything about each other, and it is a mental challenge on top of the physical challenge to execute. Thrilled with how the team was focused and in it from the first pitch and didn’t allow the early adversity and frustrations to creep in, knowing that one swing can be the difference. Dani came through for us today, but it has been so many up and down the lineup and coming off the bench, that have made big plays for us all season long.”

Arizona scored an unearned run in the bottom of the first inning to take a 1-0 lead. Alyssa Palomino opened the game with a double, moved to third on a sacrifice bunt and a Seminole error allowed her to score.

Morgan and Makinzy Herzog each hit infield singles in the FSU second inning, but both would be left in scoring position as the inning ended with a strikeout.

Leslie Farris opened the FSU third inning with a bunt single, and a throwing error by the Arizona pitcher Alyssa Denham went into the right field corner, allowing her to reach third base on the play. The Seminoles loaded the bases with two outs on a fielder’s choice by Carsyn Gordon and a walk by Elizabeth Mason, and another Arizona error off the bat of Morgan allowed Farris to score and tie the game at 1-1.

After King retired the first two batters of the Arizona third inning, the next five Wildcats reached safely on three hits and two walks to make it a 3-1 game.

Arizona threatened again in the bottom of the fourth, hitting a pair of two-out singles, but King got out of the jam with her third strikeout of the game.

Florida State took a 4-3 lead in the top of the fifth as walks to Sydney Sherrill and Mason allowed Morgan to put the Seminoles in front with a three-run home run to left, her sixth HR of the season.

King retired nine of the final 11 batters of the game to secure the victory. The redshirt senior improved to 12-1 on the year with her eighth complete game, allowing three runs, two earned, on eight hits with three walks and four strikeouts.

Carsyn Gordon’s Fifth Grand Slam Carries Noles Over Irish.
No. 3 Florida State opens ACC play with an 11-1 win over Notre Dame.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — As part of an eight-run second inning, senior Carsyn Gordon hit the fifth grand slam of her career as No. 3 Florida State (26-2, 1-0 ACC) began ACC play with an 11-1 win in five innings over RV Notre Dame (15-8, 0-1 ACC) on Friday afternoon at JoAnne Graf Field.

The five career grand slams sets a school record and is tied for 11th in NCAA history. Gordon now has 30 career home runs, which sits as fifth-most in Seminole history.

The 11 runs scored by Florida State are the most given up by Notre Dame in a game this season. Of the 19 teams that the Seminoles have played in 2019, FSU has been the team to score the most runs against eight of them – Oklahoma, LSU, Minnesota, Notre Dame, Elon, Lipscomb, Samford and Florida Atlantic.

“We are always excited about ACC play,” said FSU head coach Lonni Alameda. “With the non-conference segment of the season, you play a lot of teams just once and there are doubleheaders, but in conference you are in a three-game series against the same opponent. Winning the series is important and this was a great way to start. Great job from the offense to get us going and from the defense selling out for best pitch and being in position to make some plays.”

Notre Dame took an early 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning on a double by Katie Marino, a single by Cait Brooks and an RBI groundout by Melissa Rochford.

Leading off the bottom of the first inning, Cali Harrod tied the game with a solo home run to center, her ninth of the season. It was the 12th home run to lead off an inning by the Seminoles this season, matching the 12 leadoff homeruns by Florida State In all of 2018.

It also continued the trend of rarely trailing for the Seminoles, as FSU has trailed in only seven games this season, but three times have tied the game in the next half inning. Overall, Florida State has only had 60 plate appearances where it has been behind.

The Seminoles broke open the game in the bottom of the second as the first six batters reached base before recording an out, including singles by Zoe Casas and Anna Shelnutt, walks by Leslie Farris and Harrod, and capped by a grand slam from Gordon. The inning continued with a single by Elizabeth Mason, an RBI single by Casas and an RBI double by Shelnutt to put the Noles in front 9-1.

Gordon and Sydney Sherrill each walked and stole second base in the bottom of the third inning and scored on a groundout by Mason and an RBI single by Dani Morgan for the 11-1 final score.

Meghan King improved to 13-1 on the season with a 3.0-inning start, allowing one run on three hits with no walks and two strikeouts. Freshman Kathryn Sandercock closed out the game, retiring all six batters she faced, including a strikeout.

No. 3 Florida State Falls To Notre Dame.
The Irish even the series with a 7-4 win on Saturday afternoon.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Opportunities presented themselves all afternoon for the Seminoles as they posted eight hits and drew five walks, but batting a combined 1-for-13 with runners on base was too much to overcome as No. 3 Florida State (26-3, 1-1 ACC) dropped its first ACC game of the season by a score of 7-4 on Saturday to RV Notre Dame (16-8, 1-1 ACC). The Irish scored five of their seven runs of the game with two outs.

“Notre Dame is a good ball club and Payton Tidd put together a good day in the circle for them,” said FSU head coach Lonni Alameda. “I loved to see the fight at the end, that was awesome. And it was good to see Makinzy get some innings for us as a freshman, too. Now the rubber match is tomorrow afternoon and it is a challenge that we look forward to.”

Florida State took an early 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning on a two-run home run by Sydney Sherrill, scoring Carsyn Gordon after she drew a one-out walk.

FSU starting pitcher Makinzy Herzog retired the first eight batters she faced before a two-out single in the top of the third inning. Notre Dame tied the game in the fourth inning as a leadoff walk was followed by a home run by Cait Brooks, her 11th of the season.

Cassidy Davis entered to pitch for the Seminoles in the top of fifth inning and allowed a leadoff single, before retiring the next two batters on ground outs. After an intentional walk and a hit-by-pitch loaded the bases, Notre Dame added a run on a wild pitch and two more on a single up the middle by Abby Sweet to take a 5-2 lead.

Herzog doubled to open the bottom of the fifth inning, but would not advance any further, as ND’s Payton Tidd struck out the side. The double extended Herzog’s hitting streak to 12 games.

The Seminoles loaded the bases with one out in the bottom of the sixth inning on a single by Zoe Casas and walks to Davis and Anna Shelnutt. Herzog cut the Irish lead to 5-3 with an RBI ground out, but a fly out to left ended the rally.

Notre Dame added two more runs in the top of the seventh on an RBI double by Sweet and an RBI single by MK Bonamy to make it 7-3.

Elizabeth Mason hit a solo home run with two outs in the bottom of the seventh, and Dani Morgan singled to extend the inning, but a fly out to right ended the game.

Davis (1-1) took the loss for the Noles, allowing five runs on five hits with three walks and two strikeouts over 3.0 relief innings. Herzog gave up five hits and two runs in her 4.0-inning start, with one walk and zero strikeouts.

No Luck Or Hits For The Irish As King Records Third No-No.
Redshirt senior Meghan King tosses the third no-hitter of her career on Sunday in 5-0 win over Notre Dame.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Retiring 21 of the 22 batters she faced on Sunday, redshirt senior pitcher Meghan King tossed the third no-hitter of her career on Sunday afternoon as No. 3 Florida State (27-3, 1-2 ACC) defeated RV Notre Dame (16-9, 1-2 ACC) by a score of 5-0 to take the series against the Irish.

King (14-1) allowed only one baserunner in the top of the seventh inning on an FSU fielding error and finished with three strikeouts.

The redshirt senior from Parkland, Fla., had previously thrown a perfect game in six innings against Tulsa on March 12, 2016 and combined with Cassidy Davis for a five-inning perfect game versus Northern Iowa on February 23, 2018.

Florida State is now unbeaten in its last 50 conference series, posting a 46-0-4 mark against ACC foes, including 36 sweeps. The Seminoles last lost a conference series at Maryland on May 5-6, 2012.

“The team has a lot of confidence playing behind Meghan and she went out and executed the game plan great today,” said FSU head coach Lonni Alameda. “I’m so proud of her and all the work she has put in. The offense bounced back well from yesterday and it isn’t easy when you end up facing three different pitchers with three different arsenals. So it was good to see them stay focused and put some runs on the board. Great to win the series, as it is a goal of ours every weekend.”

Florida State loaded the bases with the first three batters on singles by Cali Harrod and Sydney Sherrill, along with a walk by Carsyn Gordon. A Notre Dame error off the bat of Elizabeth Mason allowed the first run to score and an RBI groundout by Dani Morgan made it 2-0 Seminoles.

It marked the 21st time this season that Florida State has scored in the first inning and the Noles have tallied a total of 69 first-inning runs so far in 2019. The Seminoles have scored more runs in the first inning than 93 other Division I teams had scored all season entering the weekend.

Makinzy Herzog opened the Seminole fourth inning with a single to left, extending her hitting streak to 13 games. Following a Harrod walk, Gordon hit a two-out RBI single to left field to make it 3-0 Seminoles. Sherrill added an infield single to load the bases and Mason extended the lead to 5-0 with a two-run double to left.

Herzog And Bilodeau Combine For No-Hitter Versus Florida A&M.
The Seminoles recorded their second consecutive no-hitter in an 8-0 win over Florida A&M on Tuesday.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Fresh off Meghan King’s no-hitter on March 17 against Notre Dame, freshman Makinzy Herzog and sophomore Kara Bilodeau combined to toss a no-hitter of their own on Tuesday as No. 3 Florida State (28-3) blanked Florida A&M (8-21) by a score of 8-0 at JoAnne Graf Field. It is the second time that Herzog and Bilodeau have combined for a no-hitter this season, as the duo held UNCW without a hit on February 10.

It marks the 27th no-hitter by Florida State under head coach Lonni Alameda and the first time the Noles have recorded consecutive no-hitters since Sarah Hamilton shut down Hofstra and Kent State on February 27 and 28, 2010.

Herzog (4-1) started the game in the circle and two of the first three FAMU batters reached on a pair of FSU errors. But the freshman settled in and retired the next 13 of the next 14 batters she faced and finished with six strikeouts and one walk over 5.0 innings pitched. Bilodeau retired all three batters she faced in the sixth inning and added a strikeout.

“No-hitters are a complete team effort, so even though the pitchers may get the recognition for it, it wouldn’t be possible without the defense behind them,” said Alameda. “Great job by our offense coming out and setting the tone early as scoring first is one of our goals. I think the team looked pretty sharp and into it today and now we’re looking forward to UNF tomorrow.”

For the 22nd time through the 31 games of the 2019 season, the Seminoles got on the board in the first inning and took a quick 2-0 lead. Cali Harrod and Carsyn Gordon opened the game with singles and each added a stolen base in the inning before Sydney Sherrill hit an RBI groundout and Elizabeth Mason added a sacrifice fly.

The Noles have scored a total of 71 runs in the first inning this season and have allowed their opponents to score just 69 runs total.

The Seminoles added four more runs in the second inning, highlighted by a three-run home run by Cassidy Davis. Zoe Casas and Makinzy Herzog led off the frame with a pair of singles as Herzog extended her hitting streak to 14 games. Savannah Parker drove in a run on an RBI single and Davis cleared them all with her fifth home run of the season to center to make it a 6-0 game.

Leslie Farris hit a one-out double in the bottom of the fourth and scored on a single to right center by Morgan Noah to push the lead to 7-0.

Farris added another extra-base hit in the bottom of the sixth to end the game at 8-0. Parker led off the inning with an infield single and scored as Farris hit her third triple of the season to right center.

Dani Morgan’s Three Hits & Four RBI Carry Noles Over Ospreys.
The junior was a triple short of the cycle in Wednesday’s 9-1 win over North Florida.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — With an RBI double in the first, a three-run home run in the second inning and a single in the third, junior outfielder Dani Morgan was a triple short of the cycle on Wednesday as No. 3 Florida State (29-3) defeated North Florida (17-9) by a score of 9-1 in five innings at JoAnne Graf Field.

The Seminoles tallied four runs in the first inning and have now scored in the opening frame in 23 of their 32 games this season. Overall, FSU has scored 75 first-inning runs, while allowing opponents to score a total of 70 runs throughout all of the 2019 season.

“Good job to get the win, but there were a lot of things we will be able to work on and improve moving forward,” said FSU head coach Lonni Alameda. “The pitching and defense played well and we were better tonight with some two-out opportunities at the plate. Now it is back to conference play as NC State comes in this weekend for an exciting three-game series.”

Elizabeth Mason opened the scoring in the bottom of the first with an RBI single after Carsyn Gordon hit a one-out single, followed by a walk from Sydney Sherrill. Morgan knocked a 1-0 pitch off the wall in right field to make it 2-0 Seminoles and Makinzy Herzog extended the lead to 4-0 FSU with a two-run triple to center, her first of the season. The hit extended Herzog’s team-high hitting streak to 15 games.

The Noles added three more runs in the bottom of the second on a home run by Morgan after Gordon walked and Sherrill was hit by a pitch.

Cali Harrod drew a walk to start the FSU fourth inning and a single to right by Sherrill resulted in runners on second and third with one out. Mason drove in her second run of the game with a sacrifice fly to center and Herzog lined an RBI single up the middle to make it 9-0 FSU.

Kathryn Sandercock allowed one unearned run in the top of the fifth as she improved to 9-0 on the season. The freshman scattered five hits over 5.0 innings with zero walks and four strikeouts.

Meghan King’s Second-Straight No-Hitter Blanks NC State.
No. 3 Florida State earns 9-0 win over the Wolfpack as King extends hitless streak to 12.2 innings.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Recording a no-hitter for the second start in a row and the fourth time in her career, Meghan King and the Seminoles blanked the Wolfpack on Friday as No. 3 Florida State (30-3, 3-1 ACC) topped NC State (16-12, 0-4 ACC) by a score of 9-0 in five innings at JoAnne Graf Field.

It is the third no-hitter in the last four games for the Seminoles and opponents are batting .066 over that span, with just five hits and one run in the last 23.0 innings.

King (15-1) recorded 11 of the 15 outs on Friday with a strikeout, including six consecutive strikeouts from the first to the third inning, and allowed just two walks. She has not allowed a hit over her last 12.2 innings, dating back to March 15.

The Seminoles hit a pair of home runs to increase their total to 52 on the season, which ranks sixth in school history.

“I really liked how the team came out and made some things happen today to score some early runs,” said FSU head coach Lonni Alameda. “The defense played great and Meghan was able to spin the ball well against an aggressive, swinging team. Always excited for the series and for tomorrow’s game and making the little adjustments.”

Florida State didn’t record a hit in the first inning, but did score three runs to take an early 3-0 lead. Cali Harrod and Carsyn Gordon drew a pair of walks and each stole second base before Sydney Sherrill hit a ground ball to third base, and the Seminole runners got into a variety of rundowns but all would be safe on the play to load the bases.

Elizabeth Mason drew a walk to bring in the first run of the game, and Dani Morgan and Zoe Casas hit a pair of RBI groundouts to score the other runners.

Anna Shelnutt opened the bottom of the second inning with a solo home run to left and Leslie Farris followed with a bunt single. Consecutive walks to Harrod and Gordon again loaded the bases and Mason drove in her second run of the game with a fielder’s choice.

Harrod tied a career high with her third walk of the game to begin the FSU fourth inning and, after an infield single by Gordon, came in to score on an NC State fielding error. Morgan hit a three-run home run for the second game in a row for the 9-0 final score.

Seminoles Take Series Against Wolfpack With 8-6 Win.

No. 3 Florida State posts sixth come-from-behind win of the season on Saturday.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Extending its ACC series unbeaten streak to 51, dating back to 2012, No. 3 Florida State (31-3, 4-1 ACC) came from behind to post an 8-6 win over NC State (16-12, 0-4 ACC) on Saturday afternoon at JoAnne Graf Field.

The Wolfpack got their first hit of the game in the top of the second inning, snapping FSU’s streak of not allowing a hit at 7.1 consecutive innings, as well as 14.0 innings in ACC play.

“Our offense has been there for us all season, and it has been great to get Mak and Kat some experience in the circle,” said FSU head coach Lonni Alameda. “Cali had a great day on both sides of the ball. She made some big plays defensively and also had that big swing in the fifth inning for us. It is always our goal to take the series, and now going into Sunday, it is about who is the stronger and smarter team. It will be a dogfight tomorrow and that’s the excitement of ACC softball.”

Cali Harrod opened the FSU first inning with a walk, stole second and came into score on an RBI single by Carsyn Gordon. Elizabeth Mason made it 3-0 FSU with a two-run home run to center, her fifth HR of the season.

It marked the 25th time through 34 games this season that the Seminoles have scored in the first inning, and FSU has tallied 81 runs in the opening frame of 2019.

NC State loaded the bases with one out in the top of the second on FSU starting pitcher Makinzy Herzog with a pair of walks and a hit-by-pitch. Herzog battled back with her fourth strikeout of the game for out number two, but the Wolfpack took a 4-3 lead with a grand slam from Brigette Nordberg that barely cleared the wall in right field.

The Seminoles loaded the bases with two outs in the bottom of the third inning on a single by Sydney Sherrill and walks to Zoe Casas and Herzog. Anna Shelnutt tied the game at 4-4 with an infield single over the head of the NC State pitcher.

Harrod reached on an NC State error to begin the Seminole fourth inning and moved to third on an infield single by Gordon. Sherrill gave FSU a 5-4 lead with a sacrifice fly to left for her 27th RBI of the season.

Florida State added three more runs in the bottom of the fifth inning on a three-run home run by Harrod. Herzog singled, Shelnutt walked and was pinch-run for by Deja Bush, before the senior shortstop hit her team-leading 10th home run of the season to right center.

After the second inning home run, Herzog retired the next nine hitters she faced before a two-out single by Logan Morris in the top of the fifth. Kathryn Sanderock entered to pitch for the top of the sixth, as Herzog improved to 5-1 on the season, allowing four runs on two hits with four walks and a career-high seven strikeouts.

NC State scored a pair of runs in the top of the sixth inning on an RBI double by Madeline Curtis and an RBI single from April Visser, both with two outs.

The Wolfpack brought the tying run to the plate in top of the seventh as Morris hit a one-out single, but Sandercock ended the game with a strikeout and a groundout. Sandercock gave up two runs on four hits with two strikeouts and zero walks in 2.0 innings of relief.

Meghan King Tosses Sixth Shutout In Sweep Of NC State.
The redshirt senior hasn’t allowed a run in 20.1 innings and the Noles complete a sweep of the Wolfpack with an 8-0 win in six innings on Sunday.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Tossing her third consecutive complete-game shutout and sixth of the season, Meghan King pitched another gem for the Seminoles as No. 3 Florida State (32-3, 5-1 ACC) completed the series sweep of NC State (16-14, 0-6 ACC) with an 8-0 win in six innings on Sunday at JoAnne Graf Field.

King allowed just three hits over 6.0 innings with two walks while recording 12 strikeouts to improve to 16-1 on the season. A first-inning hit by NC State snapped King’s streak of 12.2 innings without allowing a hit, while she extended her current shutout streak to 20.1 innings, dating back to March 15 against Notre Dame.

“Any time you are getting a sweep, you are doing some things right and making good adjustments on day three,” said FSU head coach Lonni Alameda. “I liked the fight and how different parts of our game produced today, with Makinzy Herzog hitting a home run to get us going, using our speed to create some other opportunities and Cassidy coming off the bench with a big pinch-hit swing for us. Meghan was consistent again in the circle for us and it was a great weekend overall. Looking forward to the next challenge at Virginia.”

NC State’s Sam Russ started the top of the first with a triple to left field and a one-out walk put Wolfpack runners on the corners with one out. King got out of the inning by retiring the next two hitters on a pop out and a strikeout.

Makinzy Herzog put the Noles on the board with a solo home run in the bottom of the second inning for her first collegiate home run. Florida State now has 11 different players that have hit a home run this season.

The Wolfpack threatened in the top of the fourth inning as Skylar Johnston led off with a single to center, followed by Randi Farricker getting hit by a pitch. The runners moved up to second and third with one out on a sacrifice bunt, but King ended the inning with a pair of strikeouts.

Florida State broke the game open in the fourth inning as Zoe Casas walked, was pinch run for by Deja Bush, Herzog hit a single and Anna Shelnutt drew a walk to load the bases with nobody out. Cassidy Davis entered to pinch hit and lined a bases-clearing triple into the right field corner to make it 4-0 Seminoles. Leslie Farris re-entered at third base for Davis and scored on an RBI single by Gordon.

Elizabeth Mason ended the game in the bottom of the sixth with a two-run home run, scoring Carsyn Gordon who singled earlier in the inning, for the 8-0 final score.

Dani Morgan’s Five RBI Carries Noles Over Cavaliers.
No. 3 Florida State takes game one of the series at Virginia, 11-0.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Scoring in the first inning for the 26th time this season, the Seminoles took game one of the series as No. 3 Florida State (33-3, 6-1 ACC) defeated Virginia (16-15, 5-5 ACC) 11-0 on Friday evening at The Park. The Noles plated two runs in the first inning and have now scored 83 first-inning runs in 2019.

Dani Morgan led the Seminoles offensively with a two-run double in the first inning and a three-run HR in the fourth inning as the five RBI by Morgan on Friday set a career high for the junior, and all five came with two outs.

“We did a great job of coming in focused and executing our plans today,” said FSU head coach Lonni Alameda. “We took advantage of our opportunities and the pitching and defense made it difficult for Virginia to get anything going. Dani had a great day at the plate for us and she has been very consistent for us all season long.”

The Seminoles jumped out to an early lead as Sydney Sherrill and Elizabeth Mason each drew walks and Morgan made it 2-0 Florida State with a double to right center in the top of the first.

Florida State added four more runs in the second inning as the Noles loaded the bases on a double by Anna Shelnutt, an infield single by Leslie Farris and a walk by Cali Harrod. Carsyn Gordon brought in a run on an infield single and Sherrill made it 6-0 Seminoles with a three-run double to left center.

It was a team-high 10th double of the season for Sherrill, and increased the career total for the sophomore to 39, which is tied with Victoria East (2013-16) and Brandi Stuart (2000-03) for seventh place in FSU history.

The Seminoles plated four more runs in the top of the fourth inning, all with two outs, to take a 10-0 lead. Gordon lined a solo home run to right field, and after a single by Sherrill and a walk by Mason, Morgan hit a three-run home run to center.

Makinzy Herzog entered to pitch the bottom of the fourth for the Noles, ending Meghan King’s day in the circle. The redshirt senior improved to 17-1 on the season, allowing just three hits over 3.0 shutout innings with zero walks and four strikeouts. King has not allowed a run in her last 23.1 innings in the circle.

The Noles added another run in the top of the fifth as FSU loaded the bases on a single by Herzog and walks by Cassidy Davis and Deja Bush. Gordon drove in her second run of the game on an RBI fielder’s choice.

Herzog retired all six batters she faced in the circle, including a pair of strikeouts, to end the game.

Florida State Participates In UVA’s Unite In The Fight.
Elizabeth Mason hits a pair of home runs on Saturday as the No. 3 Seminoles defeated the Cavaliers 8-2 to take the series.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Joining with the Cavaliers on Saturday in support of their annual Unite In The Fight game, both Florida State and Virginia wore lavender ribbons as well as special warmup shirts and participated in events to bring awareness to cancer and support those currently fighting the disease.

In softball action, Elizabeth Mason carried the Seminole offense with a pair of two-run home runs as No. 3 Florida State (34-3, 7-1 ACC) defeated Virginia (16-16, 5-6 ACC) by a score of 8-2 on Saturday afternoon. Eight of the 10 hits for Florida State went for extra bases on five doubles, a triple and two home runs.

“It is always an honor to play for something bigger than yourself,” said FSU head coach Lonni Alameda. “Virginia does a great job in promoting events and today’s Unite In The Fight was outstanding from the ribbons to the shirts to the photos of loved ones on the tables, it was really cool to get together with them and support the amazing people that are in the fight.

“In the game, I thought we battled well for seven innings and UVA’s pitcher tossed a great game. We got a lot of looks for some young ones today and it was a good win for us.”

Dani Morgan extended her season-high hitting streak to seven games in the second inning with a double down the left field line. She would be left stranded after a pair of groundouts. The junior outfielder has reached base safely in each of her last 14 games.

The Seminoles got on the board in the top of the fourth inning as Carsyn Gordon led off with a double to right center and scored on a two-run HR by Mason. It was the seventh home run of the season for the redshirt sophomore, matching her performance from 2018.

FSU starting pitcher Kathryn Sandercock scattered a pair of hits over the first three innings, but allowed a leadoff home run to Olivia Gott in the bottom of the fourth inning to cut the FSU lead to 2-1.

The Noles threatened in the top of the fifth as Cali Harrod drew a walk, moved to second on a wild pitch and an infield single by Gordon put FSU runners on the corners with two outs. Sydney Sherrill followed with a line drive up the middle, but it was deflected by the pitcher over to the UVA shortstop, who stepped on second base to end the inning.

Makinzy Herzog entered to pitch for Florida State in the bottom of the fifth, ending Sandercock’s day in the circle. Sandercock improved to 10-0 as the freshman allowed one run on three hits with one walk and two strikeouts over 4.0 innings.

Zoe Casas drew a two-out walk in the top of the sixth, which was followed by a single by Herzog and Maegan Tomlinson entered to run for Casas at second base. Anna Shelnutt lined a two-RBI double to left to push the FSU advantage to 4-1.

Herzog retired the first three batters she faced in the circle on seven pitches, but her 10th pitch of the day ended up as a solo home run by Lacy Smith to start the UVA sixth inning. It was her 13th HR of the season, cutting the Seminole lead to 4-2. Following a single and a pair of strikeouts, Meghan King entered to relieve Herzog and ended the inning with a fly out to right field.

The Seminoles added four more in the top of the seventh on a two-run home run by Mason, an RBI triple by Casas and an RBI double by Herzog.

Kara Bilodeau closed out the game in the circle and tossed a scoreless seventh inning, allowing one walk and posting two strikeouts.

Seminoles Sweep Cavaliers With 16-3 Win
No. 3 Florida State completes 38th ACC sweep in last 52 conference series.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Scoring in all five innings at the plate, No. 3 Florida State (35-3, 8-1 ACC) finished a season sweep at Virginia (16-17, 5-7 ACC) with a 16-3 win on Sunday at The Park. It was the second consecutive sweep for the Seminoles this season and the 38th conference sweep over the last 52 ACC series, dating back to 2012.

The Seminoles hit three home runs on Sunday to increase their 2019 total to 63, which is tied for fourth in FSU single-season history, matching the output from the 2016 team that finished as NCAA semifinalists at the Women’s College World Series. The school record is 76 that was set during the 2018 season.

Florida State tallied seven home runs on the weekend at Virginia and of its 33 hits, 19 of them went for extra bases, along with 11 doubles and one triple.

Meghan King improved to 18-1 on the season and allowed just one baserunner over 3.0 innings on a single in the first inning and finished with six strikeouts. She extended her scoreless streak to 26.2 innings over her last seven appearances.

“Nice way to close out the weekend,” said FSU head coach Lonni Alameda. “We took advantage of some early opportunities and made things hard for Virginia. Good to be able to see some kids in different spots and situations at the plate and in the field, and that will come in huge for us down the road. Now we get to head home and prepare for Florida on Wednesday.”

Dani Morgan put the Seminoles on the board with a three-run double in the top of the first, scoring Cali Harrod and Elizabeth Mason who walked earlier in the inning, along with Sydney Sherrill who hit an infield single. It was the 27th time this season that the Seminoles have scored a run in the first inning and Florida State has tallied a total of 86 first-inning runs in 2019.

The Seminoles added five more runs in the top of the second to take an 8-0 lead. Anna Shelnutt was hit by the first pitch of the inning, while Harrod and Carsyn Gordon hit a pair of singles to load the bases with one out. Sherrill followed with an RBI single to right and Mason hit a ground-rule double to left to bring in two more runs. Makinzy Herzog closed out the scoring in the inning with a two-run single to left field.

Gordon made it 10-0 with a two-run home run in the top of the third inning, scoring Harrod who reached on a UVA throwing error.

Florida State brought in five more runs in the fourth inning on a pair of home runs from Cassidy Davis and Harrod. After Mason led off the inning with her second double of the game, Davis hit a pinch-hit home run to center for her sixth HR of the season. Deja Bush reached on another UVA error and Morgan Noah reached on a fielder’s choice and both scored on Harrod’s team-leading 11th home run of the season to make it 15-0 Seminoles.

Kara Bilodeau replaced King in the circle to start the bottom of the fourth inning and the sophomore issued a one-out walk, followed by a two-run home run by Olivia Gott.

The Noles loaded the bases in the top of the fifth on a walks by Davis and Savannah Parker, along with a single by Herzog. Noah drove in her sixth RBI of the season on a single up the middle to make it 16-2 Seminoles.

Davis pitched the fifth inning for Florida State and allowed an unearned run, giving up just one hit.

Meghan King Shuts Out Gators On The Road.
No. 3 Florida State topped No. 8 Florida, 2-0, on Wednesday night.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — For the third time in the last four games, the Seminoles have triumphed over the Gators as No. 3 Florida State (36-3) earned a 2-0 win on the road over No. 8 Florida (29-9) in front of 2,403 fans at Katie Seashole Pressly Stadium.

Meghan King tossed a complete-game shutout and improved to 19-1 on the season, scattering six hits and recording eight strikeouts without allowing a walk. The redshirt senior has not allowed a run in her last 33.2 innings over her last eight appearances, dating back to March 15 against Notre Dame.

“Meghan pitched a great game for us today, there were a lot of quality team at-bats and it was just a well-played softball game,” said FSU head coach Lonni Alameda. “It was a great atmosphere and I am really proud of how the kids played tonight. We’ll go home and learn some things from the one and move forward for Louisville this weekend. Nice team win for us tonight.”

For the 28th time this season, Florida State scored a run in the first inning to take an early 1-0 lead. Cali Harrod opened the game with a four-pitch walk, stole second and moved to third on an infield single by Sydney Sherrill. Elizabeth Mason drove in her 43rd RBI of the season with a sacrifice fly to left field to put the Noles on the board.

King opened the bottom of the first with a pair of strikeouts, but Florida managed back-to-back singles from Amanda Lorenz and Kendyl Lindaman to put runners on the corners with two outs. The redshirt senior pitcher got out of the inning with another strikeout.

The Seminoles threatened in the top of the second inning as FSU loaded the bases on a trio of walks by Zoe Casas, Leslie Farris and Harrod, but a pop out ended the inning.

Makinzy Herzog added another run in the top of the fourth inning with a solo home run to right field, her second HR of the season, to make it 2-0 FSU.

Florida didn’t get another base runner past first base until the bottom of the sixth inning on a one-out double by Lindaman. King retired the next two batters on a strikeout and a pop out to end the inning.

Meghan King Becomes FSU Career Saves Leader.
The redshirt senior picked up her 10th career save on Saturday afternoon.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — With her second save of the season and the 10th of her career redshirt senior pitcher Meghan King became the FSU career leader in saves as No. 3 Florida State (37-4, 9-2 ACC) earned a split of a doubleheader against Louisville (24-14, 5-6 ACC) at Ulmer Stadium on Saturday. The Cardinals posted a 2-0 win in game one, while the Seminoles evened the series with a 4-1 win in game two.

King closed out game two with three innings in the circle, giving up a run on two hits with a walk and four strikeouts. She also allowed two runs over four innings in game one against the Cardinals, snapping her streak at 33.0 innings without giving up a run, which spanned nine different appearances dating back to March 15. She finished with five strikeouts, three hits and zero walks in the loss.

The shutout in game one was the first time that Florida State was held without a run in a school-record 67 games, dating back to April 18, 2018.

“It was a well-played ballgame by Louisville in game one and we just didn’t make the adjustments,” said FSU head coach Lonni Alameda. “It was good for us to bounce back in game two and score early and execute in some situations. Pleased with how Meghan pitched in game two in relief after starting game one and I am so proud with how she has developed over her career. She’s been a big part of the growth of this program and she is an outstanding leader of the pitching staff. We’re looking forward to the rubber match on Monday night.”

Game One: Louisville 2, No. 3 Florida State 0
One of the few batted balls to leave the infield in game one was the difference maker in game one as Louisville’s Megan Hensley hit a two-run home run in the bottom of the first inning, scoring Celene Funke who hit a leadoff single.

The Seminoles struggled offensively against Louisville starting pitcher Danielle Watson, getting only three baserunners on through the first six innings on walks by Cali Harrod and Anna Shelnutt, along with a single by Zoe Casas. Casas drew a two-out walk in the top of the seventh to bring the tying run to the plate, but a groundout ended the game.

Kathryn Sandercock pitched the final 2.0 innings of game one for the Noles, retiring the first four batters she faced and she allowed one hit, one walk and had one strikeout.

Game Two: No. 3 Florida State 4, Louisville 1
The Seminoles scored an unearned run in the top of the second of game two to take an early 1-0 lead. Casas drew a two-out walk, advanced to second on a Louisville error off the bat of Cassidy Davis and moved to third on a walk by Shelnutt. Freshman Savannah Parker drove in her 10th RBI of the season on a bases-loaded walk to put the Noles on the board.

Carsyn Gordon led off the FSU third inning with an infield single and scored on an RBI double by Sydney Sherrill. It was the 11th double of the season for Sherrill and the 40th of the sophomore’s career, which is seventh-most in FSU history. Sherrill later scored on an RBI double by Makinzy Herzog to push the FSU lead to 3-0.

Herzog started in the circle for the Noles and retired nine of the first 10 batters she faced before Sidney Melton led off the bottom of the fourth inning with a double. A fly out to deep center followed, and Melton tagged to third and tried to score on the play, but the relay from Dani Morgan to Harrod to Shelnutt retired her at the plate foe out number two. Herzog capped off the inning with a strikeout.

Gordon hit her second single of the game to begin the Seminole third inning, stole second, moved to third on a groundout and scored on an RBI groundout by Morgan to make it a 4-0 game.

King entered to relieve Herzog in the bottom of the fifth, ending the freshman’s day in the circle. Herzog improved to 6-1 after allowing just two hits and a walk over 4.0 shutout innings with one strikeout.

UofL’s Melton opened the bottom of the sixth inning with a triple to centerfield and scored on a sacrifice fly to right field to cut the FSU lead to 4-1.

Seminoles Fall In Wild Seventh Inning at Louisville.
No. 3 Florida State drops its first ACC series since the 2012 season.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Losing an ACC series for the first time since 2012, No. 3 Florida State (37-5, 9-3 ACC) dropped the final game at Louisville (25-14, 6-6 ACC) by a score of 10-9 on Monday night at Ulmer Stadium. FSU trailed the Cardinals 7-3 entering the top of the seventh, scored six runs to take a 9-7 lead, but a walk-off, three-run double by Rebecca Chung gave Louisville the victory.

The Seminoles had entered the weekend unbeaten in their last 52 ACC series, with a record of 48-0-4 against ACC opponents over that span, including 38 sweeps. It marked the first ACC series loss for the Noles since May 5-6, 2012 at Maryland.

“What a battle and what a game,” said FSU head coach Lonni Alameda. “The final game of a series is always going to come down to making adjustments and competing and fighting for every pitch, and that’s what we saw tonight. We worked for some early runs, Louisville took advantage of some opportunities to take the lead but we never quit and regained the lead in the seventh, though we just couldn’t close it out. It’s a tough loss, but these situations and experiences will be big for us the rest of the season.”

The Seminoles jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead in the top of the first before recording an out as Cali Harrod led off with a walk, stole second and moved to third on a single to right by Carsyn Gordon. Gordon stole second base and Sydney Sherrill hit an RBI infield single to short, scoring Harrod and Gordon has hit by the ball in a rundown between second and third, which allowed her to score on the play. Elizabeth Mason brought in Sherrill for her 44th RBI of the season on a fielder’s choice to first base.

FSU starting pitcher Meghan King retired the first six batters she faced, but Louisville managed to load the bases with nobody out in the third inning on a walk and a pair of singles. Sidney Melton tied the game with a one-out triple to right center, and King ended the inning with a groundout and a strikeout.

Louisville took a 5-3 lead in the bottom of the fourth inning as Chung hit a single with two outs and Charley Butler was hit by a pitch. Maddy Newman drove both runners in with a triple to left center to put the Cardinals in front.

Kathryn Sandercock entered to pitch for the Noles in the bottom of fifth inning and sent down the first two batters on a line out and a groundout, before a single from Taylor Roby and a two-run home run by Caitlin Ferguson extended UofL’s lead to 7-3.

Makinzy Herzog opened the FSU seventh inning with a walk and one-out walks to Morgan Noah and Harrod loaded the bases. Gordon hit an RBI single to center to cut the Louisville lead to 7-4, and Sherrill launched a grand slam to center to put the Seminoles in front 8-7.

Mason continued the inning with an infield single and Deja Bush entered to pinch run at first base. The redshirt junior stole second and third and scored on an RBI single by Dani Morgan to extend the FSU lead to 9-7.

King came back in the game to pitch the bottom of the seventh and the Cardinals got the first two runners on base via a single and a walk. A one-out walk loaded the bases and Chung ended the game with a three-run double to right center.

Florida State 8, North Carolina 6
04/14/2019, Chapel Hill, N.C.

Seminoles Take Game One Over North Carolina.
Florida State opened a three-game series at UNC with an 8-6 win.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Starting the series on Sunday due to a rain out on Saturday, No. 3 Florida State (38-5, 10-3 ACC) earned a game one victory over North Carolina (24-14, 11-5 ACC) with an 8-6 win at Anderson Stadium. An attempted game two on Sunday was rained out between lineups being submitted and first pitch being thrown.

The series will wrap up on Monday, April 15 with a doubleheader.

“Good battle out of our kids today against a quality ACC team,” said FSU head coach Lonni Alameda. “We had some big swings that kept the pressure on them, but UNC never gives up and was there at the end. Nice job by Meghan to come back in and get some big strikeouts to secure the win. While we wish we could have played another game this afternoon, it will be great to have the Noles and the ACC on national television for two games tomorrow night.”

The Seminoles had runners on second and third with one out in the first inning as Cali Harrod led off with a walk and stole second, while Sydney Sherrill reached on a UNC fielding error and stole second base was well. Elizabeth Mason flew out to the second baseman in shallow right field for out number two, and Harrod attempted to tag and score on the play, but was retired at the plate to end the inning.

Florida State got on the board in the top of the third inning as Harrod drew a two out walk, followed by a single by Carsyn Gordon and an RBI single by Sherrill to put the Noles up 1-0.

The Noles plated three runs in the top of the fourth, highlighted by a two-run triple by Zoe Casas, scoring Dani Morgan and Makinzy Herzog who each hit singles in the inning. Casas later scored on a passed ball to push the FSU lead to 4-0.

FSU starting pitcher Meghan King retired 10 of the first 11 batters she faced in the game, but the Tar Heels got a pair of runners on base in the bottom of the fourth on a walk and a single before Brittany Pickett hit a three-run home run to left center to make it a 4-3 game.

North Carolina scored an unearned run in the bottom of the fifth inning to tie the game at 4-4. The Tar Heels got a pair of runners on base with an FSU error and an infield single, and the runners moved to second and third with two outs on a groundout. A passed ball allowed the runner to score and tie the game.

It took just one pitch for the Noles to retake the lead in the top of the sixth inning as Morgan hit her 10th home run of the season to center. A pair of four-pitch walks to Herzog and Casas allowed Harrod to extend the lead to 7-4 with a two-RBI triple down the left field line.

Cassidy Davis entered to pitch for the Noles in the bottom of the sixth and UNC’s Pickett hit her second home run of the game to make it 7-5 Seminoles.

Sherrill hit her 10th home run of the season on the first pitch of the top of the seventh to push it back to a three-run lead for the Noles.

UNC put the winning run on first base with one out in the bottom of the seventh as Davis issued a pair of walks and Kathryn Sandercock entered the circle for the Noles and walked both batters she faced as UNC cut the lead to 8-6. King came back in to pitch for FSU and ended the game with a pair of strikeouts.

King improved to 20-3 on the season, allowing four runs, three earned on four hits and three walks with two strikeouts over 5.2 innings. Davis pitched 1.1 innings of relief and gave up two runs on three hits with two walks and two strikeouts.

Florida State Drops Doubleheader At UNC.
The Seminoles lose a pair of close games at Chapel Hill on Monday night.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Losing a pair of close games on Monday, No. 3 Florida State (38-7, 10-5 ACC) was defeated by North Carolina (26-14, 13-5 ACC) by a score of 6-5 in nine innings in game one and 1-0 in game two.

Off the field, Florida State’s Meghan King was selected No. 11 overall in the 2019 National Pro Fastpitch (NPF) Draft by the Cleveland Comets on Monday night.

“Tonight was a tough one,” said FSU head coach Lonni Alameda. “We didn’t do a great job of staying present and focused, and that resulted in several errors in the field and some difficult at bats. North Carolina battled hard all day and we didn’t consistently match that intensity. Credit to the Tar Heels on the wins tonight and now we head home to prepare for Florida on Wednesday.”

Game One: North Carolina 6, No. 3 Florida State 5 (9 Innings)
Sydney Sherrill put the Seminoles on the board in the top of the first in game one with a solo home run to left, her 11th HR of the season.

UNC tied the game at 1-1 in the bottom of the first on a two-out RBI single by Megan Dray. The Tar Heels had put runners on with a single and a hit by pitch, and Dray’s line drive was nearly caught on a leaping attempt by Cali Harrod, but the ball bounced out of her glove for a single.

Back-to-back UNC errors off the bats of Carsyn Gordon and Sherrill allowed Florida State to score an unearned run in the third inning to take a 2-1 lead.

North Carolina scored a pair of runs in the bottom of the third to move in front, 3-2. After a leadoff walk, Kiani Ramsey hit an RBI double to left and she later scored on an FSU error.

Makinzy Herzog opened the FSU fourth inning with a single up the middle, moved up to third base on a pair of groundouts and scored on a UNC error to tie the game at 3-3.

UNC regained the lead in the bottom of the fourth following a leadoff single and an RBI double by Zoe Goodman.

Down to their last out, the Noles tied the game at 4-4 in the top of the seventh on an RBI single by Dani Morgan, scoring Sherrill who singled earlier in the inning.

After allowing UNC to score a run in three of the first four innings, Herzog settled in and retired 10 in a row from the fourth to seventh inning before Ramsey singled to left and advanced to second on an FSU error with two outs in the seventh. Sherrill caught a line drive to second base to send the game to extra innings.

UNC started the bottom of the eighth with an infield single and a groundout moved the runner to second, ending Herzog’s day in the circle. Meghan King entered to pitch and ended the inning on a strikeout and a groundout.

Sherrill gave the Seminoles a 5-4 lead in the top of the ninth with a solo home run to center, her 12th home run of the season. It marked the first time in her career that she hit multiple home runs in a game.

UNC got its first baserunner of the ninth inning on a one-out single, and following a walk, Brittany Pickett tied the game with a single to right. An intentional walk loaded the bases and Berlynne Delamora drove in the game-winning run with an RBI single to left.

King allowed two runs on three hits in the loss, along with two walks and one strikeout over 1.0 innings of relief. Herzog pitched a career-high 7.1 innings in the circle, giving up four runs, three earned on nine hits with two walks and three strikeouts.

Game Two: North Carolina 1, No. 3 Florida State 0
Offense was at a premium in the final game of the series as neither team got a runner to third base until the bottom of the fifth. North Carolina scored an unearned run to take a 1-0 lead after a single and a pair of Florida State fielding errors.

The Seminoles struggled to figure out UNC starting pitcher Hannah George, managing just three hits in the entire game, as the Tar Heel pitcher retired 12 batters in a row from the third to the seventh inning.

Zoe Casas lined a one-out single to center in the top of the seventh, and was pinch-run for by Deja Bush. After a fly out, Bush interfered with the second baseman to end the game.

King (20-5) allowed six hits and one earned run, along with three walks and four strikeouts in the loss.

The Seminoles lose a pair of close games at Chapel Hill on Monday night.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Losing a pair of close games on Monday, No. 3 Florida State (38-7, 10-5 ACC) was defeated by North Carolina (26-14, 13-5 ACC) by a score of 6-5 in nine innings in game one and 1-0 in game two.

Game One: North Carolina 6, No. 3 Florida State 5 (9 Innings)
Sydney Sherrill put the Seminoles on the board in the top of the first in game one with a solo home run to left, her 11th HR of the season.

UNC regained the lead in the bottom of the fourth following a leadoff single and an RBI double by Zoe Goodman.

Down to their last out, the Noles tied the game at 4-4 in the top of the seventh on an RBI single by Dani Morgan, scoring Sherrill who singled earlier in the inning.

After allowing UNC to score a run in three of the first four innings, Herzog settled in and retired 10 in a row from the fourth to seventh inning before Ramsey singled to left and advanced to second on an FSU error with two outs in the seventh. Sherrill caught a line drive to second base to send the game to extra innings.

UNC started the bottom of the eighth with an infield single and a groundout moved the runner to second, ending Herzog’s day in the circle. Meghan King entered to pitch and ended the inning on a strikeout and a groundout.

Sherrill gave the Seminoles a 5-4 lead in the top of the ninth with a solo home run to center, her 12th home run of the season. It marked the first time in her career that she hit multiple home runs in a game.

UNC got its first baserunner of the ninth inning on a one-out single, and following a walk, Brittany Pickett tied the game with a single to right. An intentional walk loaded the bases and Berlynne Delamora drove in the game-winning run with an RBI single to left.

King allowed two runs on three hits in the loss, along with two walks and one strikeout over 1.0 innings of relief. Herzog pitched a career-high 7.1 innings in the circle, giving up four runs, three earned on nine hits with two walks and three strikeouts.

FSU Falls To UF In Fresh From Florida Sunshine Showdown.
The No. 4 Seminoles are defeated 4-0 on Wednesday night by No. 6 Florida.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Splitting the season series with the Gators in the Fresh From Florida Sunshine Showdown, No. 4 Florida State (38-8) lost by a score of 4-0 to No. 6 Florida (36-9) on Wednesday night in front of 1,818 fans at JoAnne Graf Field, marking the third-largest attendance in program history.

Prior to the game, the Seminole Tribe of Florida presented FSU head coach Lonni Alameda with a portrait of Mother Morningstar, as well as a medallion of Mother Morningstar on a necklace. Florida Governor, Ron DeSantis, also threw out a ceremonial first pitch, and his daughter, Madison, also wandered out to the circle for a pregame pitch of her own.

“I loved the fight and the focus from the team tonight, but Kelly Barnhill was really spinning it tonight,” said Alameda. “It was great to see Makinzy and Kathryn work through a whole range of situations in front of nearly 2,000 passionate fans and have a lot of growing moments in the circle. While no one obviously enjoys losing, there are more things to take away from tonight than just the final score and we are looking forward to taking on Boston College this weekend.”

The game was scoreless through the first three innings as neither team was able to get a runner to third base. Florida opened the scoring in the top of the fourth with an RBI double by Jordan Matthews. A two-run double by Hannah Adams ended Makinzy Herzog’s day in the circle for the Noles as Kathryn Sandercock entered to pitch with the bases loaded and one out in the inning.

Sandercock induced a weak line drive to short and FSU’s Cali Harrod attempted to make a sliding catch, but the ball popped out of her glove. The UF runners froze on the play, thinking it could be caught, but when it wasn’t, it allowed for an easy 6-2-5 double play to end the inning.

Florida added a run in the top of the seventh inning as Amanda Lorenz led off with a triple to left and later scored on an RBI single by Jordan Roberts.

Sydney Sherrill recorded the only two hits by the Seminoles for the game on a double in the first and a single in the fourth.

Herzog (6-2) allowed three runs on five hits over 3.1 innings in the loss with three walks and two strikeouts in the loss. Sandercock tossed the final 3.2 innings and gave up just one run with five hits and a walk.

Meghan King Fans 13 In Shutout Of Boston College.
The Seminoles take game one over the Eagles on Friday night.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Opening the three-game weekend series with a victory on Friday night, No. 4 Florida State (39-8, 11-5 ACC) defeated Boston College (15-26, 4-12 ACC) by a score of 5-0 at JoAnne Graf Field.

Meghan King tossed a complete-game shutout to improve to 21-5 on the season. She allowed just four hits and one walk, while recording 13 strikeouts, including each of the last six batters she faced.

“Nice to get back in the win column after a few tough games,” said FSU head coach Lonni Alameda. “I thought that Meghan threw a great game and had some poise in the circle, and Syd has been seeing the ball well lately. It is nice to get the monkey off your back from the pressure part of it and just go out to play some softball and have some fun. Not all the way there yet, but we’re looking to build on this for tomorrow afternoon.”

Sydney Sherrill put the Seminoles on the board in the bottom of the first inning with her team-leading 13th home run as FSU posted a 1-0 lead. It marked the 31st time in 2019 that the Noles have scored in the first inning, and FSU has tallied of 92 runs in the opening frame.

The Seminoles added another run in the bottom of the second inning as Makinzy Herzog reached on a fielder’s choice, stole second and advanced to third base on a BC error. Anna Shelnutt drove in her 22nd RBI of the season on a single to make it 2-0 FSU.

Elizabeth Mason started the FSU fourth inning with a single up the middle and an error by Boston College allowed her to reach second. Zoe Casas made it 3-0 Seminoles with an RBI single to right center.

Dani Morgan led off the Seminole sixth inning with a walk and Casas followed with a double down the left field line to put a pair of runners on with nobody out. Herzog drove in a run as she reached on a fielder’s choice and quickly stole second base. Cassidy Davis entered to pinch hit and drove the first pitch back up the box for an RBI single for the 5-0 final score.

FSU Earns 40th Win With 7-0 Victory Over BC.
The Seminoles have recorded 40 wins for the 32nd time in program history.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — For the eighth year in a row and the 32nd time in program history, the Seminoles have eclipsed the 40-win plateau as No. 4 Florida State (40-8, 12-5 ACC) posted a 7-0 win over Boston College (15-27, 4-13 ACC) on Saturday afternoon at JoAnne Graf Field.

The Noles hit two home runs on Saturday to increase their season total to 72, which ranks second in FSU single-season history, trailing only the 76 home runs that were hit during the 2018 season.

“It is a long season, and I don’t think people understand the toll that it takes on you, both physically and mentally,” said FSU head coach Lonni Alameda. “We’ve been excited to be home and in our routines, and it was great to see the freshmen perform today with Parker hitting a home run and Mak throwing a great game in the circle. We’re continuing to work on the little things as those are the things that will get us over the hump and be part of our growth throughout the rest of the year.”

For the 32nd time this season, the Seminoles scored in the first inning of the game and took an early 4-0 lead. Cali Harrod opened the game with an infield single, stole second base and scored on an RBI single by Sydney Sherrill. Elizabeth Mason was hit by a pitch and Dani Morgan made it 2-0 Seminoles with an RBI single to right.

Zoe Casas lifted a sacrifice fly to center to score Mason, and a Boston College error allowed Morgan to score on the play as well. Overall, the Noles have scored 96 runs in the first inning, more runs than 19 teams had scored overall entering this weekend.

FSU starting pitcher Makinzy Herzog faced the minimum in the circle until the Eagles hit a pair of one-out singles in the top of the fourth inning. BC again put a pair of runners on in the fifth inning with a walk and a single, but a pop out and two groundouts kept the Eagles off the board.

The Noles added three runs in the bottom of the fifth for the 7-0 final score. Savannah Parker and Carsyn Gordon each hit solo home runs in the inning, and walks to Mason and Morgan allowed Casas to drive in her 26th RBI of the season on a single to right field.

Kara Bilodeau entered to pitch the final inning for the Noles and retired all three batters she faced. Herzog (7-2) finished with 6.0 shutout innings, allowing just three hits with two walks and two strikeouts in the win.

Seminoles Sweep Eagles With 4-0 Victory.
Florida State did not allow a run to Boston College over the three-game series.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Shutting out the Eagles for the third consecutive game, No. 4 Florida State (41-8, 13-5 ACC) posted the season sweep of Boston College (15-28, 4-14 ACC) with a 4-0 win on Sunday afternoon at JoAnne Graf Field.

It marked the fourth time in program history that the Seminoles have not allowed a run in a conference series, joining the shutout sweeps against Notre Dame (2017), Pitt (2015) and Boston College (2009).

“Series wins are always the goal and sweeps are icing on the cake for us,” said FSU head coach Lonni Alameda. “I thought Kat really commanded the zone for us today and it is nice to get another arm in the circle to get some confidence behind. Starting strong and giving her some run support was a really good way to end this weekend series.”

The Seminoles opened the scoring in the bottom of the first as Cali Harrod drew a walk and Carsyn Gordon lined the first pitch of her at bat to the wall in left center for an RBI double. A fly out moved Gordon to third with one out and she scored on a sacrifice fly to left by Elizabeth Mason to make it 2-0 FSU after the first inning.

Florida State added two more runs in the bottom of the second inning for a 4-0 lead. Rock Benavides lined a single to right for the first base hit of her career and Harrod followed with her second walk of the game. Sydney Sherrill brought both of them in on a two-run double off the top of the wall in right center. It marked the 13th double of the season for Sherrill and the 42nd of the sophomore’s career, which ranks fifth-most in FSU career history.

Kathryn Sandercock did not allow a base hit until a two-out single in the top of the fourth by Jules Trevino. The freshman had retired 11 of the first 13 batters she faced of the game, including a pair of strikeouts. She finished the complete-game shutout with four strikeouts and allowed one walk and five hits as she improved to 11-0 on the season.

Meghan King Earns Career Win No. 100 Over Troy.
The Seminoles post a 4-1 win against the Trojans on Wednesday night.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Joining Lacey Waldrop (109) and Leslie Malerich (107), Meghan King became the third pitcher in Florida State history to reach the 100-win mark, as the redshirt senior tossed a complete game for No. 6 Florida State (42-8) in a 4-1 victory on Wednesday night against Troy (34-16).

King improved to 22-5 on the season and allowed just one run on three hits over 7.0 innings with zero walks and seven strikeouts. For her career, King has a record of 100-19 over 161 appearances and 119 starts. She has tallied 623 strikeouts in 731.1 innings and opponents are batting just .213 against her in her career.

“Good game today, and I loved the way that we came out and fought,” said FSU head coach Lonni Alameda. “Really proud of Meghan King and the career that she has had here. She did another great job today and battled through some situations and we got a few big swings from our offense. It was a good process day for us.”

Troy opened the scoring in the top of the first inning as Madeline Porter hit a leadoff double off the top of the wall in center and later scored on an RBI single by Bailey Taylor.

The Seminoles took the lead back in the bottom of the third inning on solo home runs by Cassidy Davis and Carsyn Gordon. It marked the 15th career home run for Davis and four of them have come against Troy, along with one in 2017 and two in 2018.

The Trojans opened the top of the fourth inning with the first two batters reaching on a hit-by-pitch and an FSU error. King got out of the inning by retiring the next three batters on a pop out and a pair of strikeouts.

A single by Gordon and a walk by Sydney Sherrill allowed Elizabeth Mason to extend the FSU lead to 4-1 with a two-run double to left in the bottom of the fifth inning.

Troy brought the tying run to the plate with one out in the bottom of the seventh inning as a pair of runners reached on a catcher’s interference and an FSU error, but King ended the game with a line out and a groundout.

FSU Softball Blanks Duke, 8-0.
The Seminoles take game one against the Blue Devils with an 8-0 in in five innings.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Recording a shutout for the fourth ACC game in a row, No. 6 Florida State (43-8, 14-5 ACC) opened the series against Duke (25-28, 11-11 ACC) with an 8-0 win in five innings on Friday evening at JoAnne Graf Field. The Seminoles have not allowed a run to a conference opponent in their last 27.2 innings, dating back to April 15 at North Carolina.

FSU hit a pair of home runs on Friday night, increasing its total to 76 on the season, tying the program record that was set during the 2018 NCAA National Championship season.

“Great way to start the weekend,” said FSU head coach Lonni Alameda. “Meghan and Kat were strong in the circle, the defense played well behind them and we had several big swings to drive in some runs. Solid team performance today, especially from those that came off the bench.”

Florida State took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning as Cali Harrod led off with a single to left and a walk by Carsyn Gordon allowed Sydney Sherrill to put the Noles on the board with an RBI single to right.

Duke managed to get a runner to third base with one out in the top of the second on a single, a sacrifice bunt and a passed ball. FSU starting pitcher Meghan King left her stranded as she struck out the next two batters to end the inning.

Gordon began the FSU third inning with a single and scored on an RBI double by Sherrill. It marked Sherrill’s 14th double of the season, which ranks in a tie for 11th in FSU history. Sherrill later scored on a two-run home run to right center by Elizabeth Mason to extend the FSU lead to 4-0.

The inning continued as Makinzy Herzog reached on an error and Anna Shelnutt drew a walk, prompting Duke to make a pitching change. The Blue Devils replaced Brianna Butler with Shelby Walters and the first pitch to pinch-hitter Cassidy Davis was lined into the right field corner for a two-run double.

Harrod closed out the seven-run inning with a two-run home run to right center for an 8-0 Seminole advantage.

Kathryn Sandercock entered to pitch for the Seminoles in the top of the fourth inning, ending King’s day in the circle. The redshirt senior improved to 23-5 on the year, allowing just two hits over 3.0 innings with zero walks and two strikeouts.

Sandercock retired the Blue Devils in order in the fourth and Duke got a pair of runners on in the fifth inning on a hit-by-pitch and an infield single, but Sandercock ended the game on a groundout to the circle.

Freshmen Pitching Carries Noles Over Blue Devils.
Freshmen Makinzy Herzog and Kathryn Sandercock combine for 3-2 win against Duke on Saturday afternoon.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Even though it is senior weekend in Tallahassee, it was a pair of freshmen in the circle – Makinzy Herzog and Kathryn Sandercock – that led the Seminoles to a victory as No. 6 Florida State (44-8, 15-5 ACC) posted a 3-2 win over Duke (25-29, 11-12 ACC) on Saturday afternoon at JoAnne Graf Field.

Herzog gave up one run on two hits over 4.0 innings with three walks and five strikeouts as she improved to 8-2 on the season. Sandercock tossed the final 3.0 innings to record the first save of her career, posting two strikeouts and allowing three hits and an unearned run.

A fourth-inning solo home run by Duke snapped a streak of 30.2 innings that FSU had not allowed a run to an ACC opponent. It marked the second-longest streak in school history, trailing 34.1 innings in 2012.

“Wins are really important right now, and being able to get them in a variety of ways builds confidence as we are getting closer to the postseason,” said FSU head coach Lonni Alameda. “The game doesn’t know how you are scoring them, as long as you are getting them across the plate. We had some team at bats today and some good pitching performances from our rookies, so these are all good things moving forward.”

Florida State took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the second as Elizabeth Mason led off the inning with a triple to left and later scored on an RBI single by Zoe Casas.

The Seminoles manufactured a run in the second inning as Anna Shelnutt drew a leadoff walk and was pinch run for by Deja Bush. A walk by Cali Harrod and a groundout moved Bush to third base, and she scored on a sacrifice fly by Sydney Sherrill.

Duke got a run back with a solo home run by Raine Wilson to lead off the top of the fourth inning.

Casas started the bottom of the fourth with a single and later scored on an RBI double by Harrod to make it 3-1 Seminoles.

The Blue Devils scored an unearned run in the fifth as a pair of singles and a catcher’s interference loaded the bases with one out in the inning, allowing Kristina Foreman to cut the lead to 3-2 with a sacrifice fly to center.

Senior Day Sweep As FSU Tops Duke.
The Seminoles post a 8-1 win on Sunday to complete the season series of the Blue Devils.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — With all five seniors in the starting lineup on Sunday, the Seminoles celebrated Senior Day with a victory as No. 6 Florida State (45-8, 16-5 ACC) posted an 8-1 win over Duke (25-30, 11-13 ACC) to secure the season sweep over the Blue Devils.

There was an on-field ceremony before the game to celebrate the five seniors on the team – Deja Bush, Zoe Casas, Carsyn Gordon, Cali Harrod and Meghan King – as they have combined for a 213-48-1 record during their time at FSU, with three ACC Championships, two trips to the Women’s College World Series and the 2018 NCAA National Championship.

Harrod’s solo home run in the bottom of the first on Sunday set a pair of milestones for the Seminoles, as it marked the 100th first-inning run scored by FSU in 2019. It also was the 77th home run of the year, setting a single-season school record by surpassing the total of 76 from 2018.

“This senior class has been so special and our team and fans have all been a part of their growth over their four years here,” said FSU head coach Lonni Alameda. “It was great to have so many people here before the game to recognize what they have done for the program and share in that moment. Meghan settled in and pitched another strong game in the circle and we had several key swings with two outs to drive in some runs. Can’t believe we only have one week left of the regular season before the ACC Tournament gets started.”

Duke scored an unearned run in the top of the first inning to take a 1-0 lead. The first two batters each hit a single and moved to second and third on a wild pitch. An FSU error allowed a runner to score King retired the next three batters to end the inning.

Harrod quickly tied the game in the bottom of the first inning as she led off the frame with a solo home run to right field.

FSU scored three runs in the bottom of the third as Elizabeth Mason hit a two-run home run to center, followed by a solo home run by Dani Morgan. It was the sixth time this season that the Seminoles have hit back-to-back home runs, and the first since Gordon and Sydney Sherrill at Grand Canyon on March 6.

The Noles scored three runs, all with two outs, in the bottom of the fifth to push the lead to 7-1. After a Mason walk, Morgan lined an RBI double to right center and scored on an RBI single by Casas. Following a single from Makinzy Herzog, Leslie Farris posted her second hit of the day with an RBI single to left.

King retired 11 in a row from the second to the fifth innings, but the Blue Devils were able to string together a trio of singles in the top of the sixth to load the bases with two outs. King ended the inning with her ninth strikeout of the game.

Cassidy Davis hit a solo home run to lead off the bottom of the sixth for the 8-1 final score.

Kathryn Sandercock entered to pitch the final out of the game as King tossed 6.2 innings in the win to improve to 24-5 on the season. She scattered six hits and did not allow a walk, as she posted nine strikeouts.

Seminoles Shutout Syracuse To Open Series.
No. 5 Florida State posted an 8-0 win in six innings on Friday afternoon.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Redshirt senior Meghan King had another impressive start in the circle on Friday as No. 5 Florida State (46-8, 17-5 ACC) posted an 8-0 win in six innings against Syracuse (21-29, 8-14 ACC) to open the three-game road series.

King (25-5) retired the first 14 batters she faced and tossed 5.1 innings with four strikeouts before allowing a single in the bottom of the sixth inning.

“Great start to the weekend series and Meghan King pitched another gem for us,” said FSU head coach Lonni Alameda. “We had some good defense and came out swinging the bat and made some good adjustments throughout the game. Excited to take the momentum into game two tomorrow.”

Florida State jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning as Cali Harrod opened the inning with a leadoff walk. It marked the 35th time this season that the junior shortstop has reached base to start the first. Harrod quickly stole second base and scored on an RBI single by Carsyn Gordon.

Anna Shelnutt drove in a run with an RBI double in the top of the second, scoring Cassidy Davis, who led off the inning with a single to right.

Dani Morgan made it 4-0 Seminoles in the top of the third inning as she hit her 12th HR of the season to right field, scoring Sydney Sherrill who reached on a fielder’s choice.

The Seminoles scored three runs in the top of the fourth inning to post a 7-0 lead. Savannah Parker opened the inning with a leadoff walk and Leslie Farris re-entered to run at first base. Farris stole second and a double to left by Harrod put runners on second and third with nobody out.

Gordon followed with a ground ball to third base and Farris got in a rundown at the plate and on the fifth exchange, Farris was hit in the back by the throw and she scored as the ball rolled to the fence behind home plate.

Harrod also aggressively scored on the play, recording the 200th run scored of her career, moving into fourth place in FSU career history. Sherrill followed with an RBI single up the middle to close out the scoring in the inning.

Shelnutt hit a one-out single to left in the FSU fifth inning and was pinch-run for by Deja Bush. Bush stole second, but was left stranded to end the inning.

Sherrill lined a single to center in the top of the sixth inning and was replaced on base by Elizabeth Mason with a fielder’s choice. Morgan followed with a two-out infield single and Mason dashed all the way to third on the play. Davis drove in Mason with a single to make it an 8-0 game.

After the sixth-inning single, King was replaced by Kathryn Sandercock and she allowed a single over the final 0.2 innings of the game.

Lonni Alameda Earns ACC Win No. 200 In Victory At Syracuse.
In her 11th season at FSU, Alameda has a record of 200-47 in conference play.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — FSU softball head coach Lonni Alameda passed another impressive coaching milestone on Saturday as she posted her 200th win in ACC play as No. 5 Florida State (47-8, 18-5 ACC) earned a 9-1 victory in five innings on the road at Syracuse (21-30, 8-15 ACC).

Overall, Alameda has a record of 200-47 in ACC play in her 11 seasons at Florida State, trailing only UNC’s Donna Papa in all-time conference wins as Papa has amassed a 256-156 record in her 28 years at North Carolina.

“Outstanding say at the plate from our hitters, and Alexa Romero is a tough pitcher,” said Alameda. “We made some really good mid-game adjustments, which is huge. I thought Mak and Kat combined for a good game in the circle for us today.

“As for the 200 wins, there are players that wore this jersey before us and we try to carry on the pride and values of the foundation they built. It is so cool to see the program continue to grow and believe in the little things, as those are what carries you to victories, and I’m really proud of that.”

Carsyn Gordon put the Noles on the board with a two-out solo home run in the top of the third inning. It was the 35th home run of her career, moving her into a tie with Alex Powers (2014-17) for fourth in FSU history.

Sydney Sherrill continued the inning with a double to center and scored on an RBI triple by Elizabeth Mason, her second triple of the season.

Syracuse scored an unearned run in the bottom of the fourth to cut the lead to 2-1. Alicia Hansen reached on an FSU error and later scored on a two-out RBI single by Neli Casares-Maher.

The Seminoles broke the game open in the top of the fifth, plating seven runs as 11 different batters came to the plate in the inning. Anna Shelnutt led off the frame with a solo home run and back-to-back walks to Cali Harrod and Gordon put runners on first and second with nobody out.

Sherrill hit her second double of the game to right field to drive in a run, marking the ninth game of her career that she has hit two doubles in a game, increasing her career total to 45. Sherrill moved into a tie with Carly Wynn (2007-10) for fourth all-time in FSU doubles history.

Dani Morgan made it 5-1 Noles with a sacrifice fly to right and Cassidy Davis hit a two-run home run to right field for her ninth HR of the season. The inning continued as Makinzy Herzog hit a double to right field and Zoe Casas hit an infield single.

Deja Bush entered to pinch run for Casas and stole second base. Shelnutt posted her second hit of the inning on an infield RBI single and a Syracuse error allowed another run to score on the play, extending the FSU lead to 9-1.

Kathryn Sandercock entered to pitch the bottom of the fifth, replacing Herzog in the circle. Herzog improved to (9-2) on the season, allowing just two hits over 4.0 innings with one unearned run, zero walks and two strikeouts.

The Orange placed the first two batters of the bottom of the fifth on base with an FSU error and a single, and they moved to second and third with nobody out on a wild pitch. Sandercock battled back with a strikeout and induced a groundout and a fly out to end the game.

Anna Shelnutt Powers Noles In Sweep Of The Orange.
The junior catcher went 4-for-4 at the plate with two home runs, a double and five RBI.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Scoring 14 runs and recording nine extra-base hits, No. 5 Florida State (48-8, 19-5 ACC) finished the season sweep of the Orange with a 14-5 victory over Syracuse (21-31, 8-16 ACC) on Sunday at Skytop Stadium.

Anna Shelnutt carried the Noles offensively, setting a career high with four hits, including two home runs, a double and five RBI. For the weekend, the junior catcher posted a .800 batting average (8-for-10) with two doubles, three HR and eight RBI against the Orange.

The Seminoles earned the 2019 ACC Atlantic Division title and will be the No. 2 seed in the upcoming ACC Softball Championship on May 8-11 in Tallahassee. FSU’s first game will be on Thursday, May 9 at 5:00 p.m. against the winner of No. 7-seed Georgia Tech and No. 10-seed Virginia.

“Great way to finish out the regular season,” said FSU head coach Lonni Alameda. “The offense was just on fire today and made great adjustments from Friday and Saturday. Very proud of this team and he have grown so much from the beginning of the year. It has been challenging to figure out how to navigate some of the ups and downs, but I am really excited about the place we are in right now. Thrilled to head home and host the ACC Tournament and for everything else ahead of us.”

The Seminoles jumped out to a 6-0 lead in the top of the first inning as Cali Harrod and Carsyn Gordon led off with a pair of singles, and Sydney Sherrill put FSU on the scoreboard with an RBI single to right field.

Cassidy Davis reached on a two-out error which allowed two Noles to score to make it a 3-0 game. Following a double by Makinzy Herzog, Shelnutt hit her second home run of the weekend with a three-run HR to left.

The Syracuse scored a run in the bottom of the first after a double by Alicia Hansen and an RBI single from Neli Casares-Maher. FSU starting pitcher Meghan King struck out the next two batters to end the inning.

A pair of home runs made it a 9-1 FSU lead after the top of the second inning. Harrod hit her second single of the game and Sherrill hit her 14th home run of the year to right field. Elizabeth Mason followed with a solo home run, marking the seventh time that the Seminoles have hit back-to-back HRs this season.

Syracuse scored three runs in the bottom of the second on an RBI double by Gabby Teran, an FSU fielding error and an RBI single by Bryce Holmgren.

Shelnutt hit a solo home run to right field to begin the FSU third inning. It marked the third time in her career that she has hit multiple home runs in a game.

The Orange put a pair of runners on in the bottom of the third inning as two batters were hit by a pitch, but Rock Benavides ended the inning with a double play as she fielded a ball at third, stepped on the base and fired to first.

FSU added another run in the top of the fourth inning as Shelnutt posted her third hit of the game with a single to left center and Savannah Parker knocked a pinch-hit single to left. Harrod hit the 40th double of her career to right center to extend the Seminole lead to 11-4.

A three-run fifth inning for the Noles was started by a double to center by Mason and she scored after a single to left by Morgan. Leslie Farris hit a triple to right center and scored on an infield RBI single by Herzog. Shelnutt posted her fourth hit of the game to close out the scoring for the Noles with an RBI double to right field to make it 14-4 FSU.

Kathryn Sandercock pitched the final two innings for the Noles and allowed a lone run in the bottom of the fifth as a leadoff double from Casares-Maher was followed by an RBI single by Lailoni Mayfield. The freshman finished with four hits allowed over 2.0 innings with no walks or strikeouts.

Meghan King (26-5) picked up the win, giving up four runs on four hits with two walks and two strikeouts in 3.0 innings pitched.

Florida State Shuts Out Georgia Tech.
The Seminoles blank the Yellow Jackets, 7-0, in the quarterfinals of the 2019 ACC Softball Championship.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Extending its ACC Tournament winning streak to 16 games, No. 5 Florida State (49-8) posted a 7-0 win over Georgia Tech (31-27) on Thursday afternoon to advance to the semifinals of the 2019 ACC Softball Championship.

Redshirt senior Meghan King improved to 27-5 on the season, allowing just one hit over 6.0 innings with one walk and eight strikeouts.

“Any win right now is a big win, it doesn’t matter how it is done,” said FSU head coach Lonni Alameda. “I liked the adjustments in game, and Meghan threw a great game for us. Quality double plays and big swings, just a fun game today.”

A single by Dani Morgan in the bottom of the second inning was the only hit of the game until Georgia Tech’s Kaylee Ellebracht lined a two-out double to right in the top of the fifth.

Morgan opened the bottom of the fifth inning with a single up the middle and scored on Anna Shelnutt’s ninth home run of the season to center, giving FSU a 2-0 lead.

Cassidy Davis walked later in the inning and was pinch-run for by Deja Bush. Bush stole second and moved to third on a ground out, but was left stranded.

Back-to-back walks from Sydney Sherrill and Elizabeth Mason allowed Morgan to extend the lead to 5-0 with a three-run home run to left, her third hit of the game.

Shelnutt reached on a GT fielding error and was run for by Maegan Tomlinson. Zoe Casas entered the game and crushed a two-out, pinch-hit home run to make it 7-0 Noles.

Kathryn Sandercock entered to pitch the seventh inning for the Noles and allowed a lone single to close out the win.

Seminoles Post 50th Win Of Season; Advance To ACC Championship.
Florida State wins 50 games for the fourth year in a row.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Surpassing the 50-win plateau for the 18th time in program history and fourth season in a row, No. 5 Florida State (50-8) advanced to the 2019 ACC Softball Championship Game with a 2-0 win over Notre Dame (36-16) on Friday at JoAnne Graf Field.

The Seminoles will play in their 23rd ACC Championship Game in program history and are seeking their 17th title, and sixth in a row. Friday’s win marked the second consecutive shutout of the 2019 tournament for the Noles, after FSU posted a 7-0 victory on Thursday against Georgia Tech.

“Defense was outstanding for us tonight,” said FSU head coach Lonni Alameda. “That is something I’ve been so impressed with Meghan (King) on, is that when she’s not missing barrels, she is OK with pitching to defense and comfortable with that part of it. The defense loves playing behind her and they do a great job of it.”

Notre Dame threatened in the top of the first inning as Ali Wester led off with a single to left and Katie Marino followed with a walk. FSU starting pitcher Meghan King induced a double play from the next hitter and ended the inning with a groundout.

Sydney Sherrill put the Seminoles on the board with a solo home run in the bottom of the first inning.

Much like the first inning, the Irish got the first two batters of the second inning on base with a double from Abby Sweet and a bunt single by MK Bonamy, but King retired the next three batters to keep ND off the scoreboard.

Dani Morgan opened the bottom of the second inning with a single to right, stole second, and scored on an RBI single by Rock Benavides to make it 2-0 FSU.

For the third consecutive inning, Notre Dame got the first two runners on base on a pair of singles, but another double play off the bat of Cait Brooks and a fly out ended the threat.

Florida State got runners to second and third with nobody out in the fifth inning as Cali Harrod hit an infield single and Carsyn Gordon drew a walk on a wild pitch by ND. Both were left stranded as the next three Seminole batters were retired.

King (28-5) retired the final seven batters of the game to secure the victory, including a groundball through the right side that was fielded by Elizabeth Mason in right field and the redshirt sophomore fired to first for the out. King gave up six hits over 7.0 innings with two walks and three strikeouts.

Six In A Row! Florida State Wins 2019 ACC Championship.
The Seminoles defeated North Carolina, 8-0 in six innings, to claim the tournament title.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Earning the 17th ACC Championship in program history, No. 5 Florida State (51-8) ended the season at the top of the conference for the sixth year in a row as the Seminoles defeated North Carolina (35-18) by a score of 8-0 in six innings on Saturday at JoAnne Graf Field.

The Noles did not allow a run over the entire 2019 tournament, posting a 7-0 victory over Georgia Tech on Thursday and a 2-0 win versus Notre Dame on Friday. FSU becomes the second team to accomplish the feat, as Georgia Tech posted three shutouts en route to the 2005 ACC Championship.

Meghan King (29-5) pitched 4.0 innings of relief with three hits, zero walks and two strikeouts to earn the win and the redshirt senior was named ACC Tournament MVP. King was joined on the ACC All-Tournament Team by Dani Morgan and Sydney Sherrill.

Cali Harrod led the Noles offensively with a 4-for-4 day at the plate, including a solo home run and two runs scored. Seven different players recorded a hit and six different Noles scored a run in the victory.

“The goal of ours is always to be in the championship game, and I am so proud of this team,” said FSU head coach Lonni Alameda. “We had an interesting season with a target on our back and some pressure, because you don’t know what it is going to be like after winning a national championship. But we came together and played team softball today, and it was so much fun.

“I go back to the key words of culture and family. Our senior classes every year protect the culture and stay grounded to the values of the program, which leads us to play good softball and care about each other at the biggest time of the year and I am so proud of that. This was a great game against a really good team, so when you think about winning year in and year out, it isn’t just about skill, but it is about coming together at the right time.”

The Seminoles took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning, led off by an infield single by Harrod. Following a walk to Elizabeth Mason, Morgan put the Noles on the board with an RBI single to right field.

North Carolina led off the top of the second inning with a walk by Megan Dray, but FSU’s Anna Shelnutt sent pinch-runner Tainasha Vines back to the dugout, retiring her fourth would-be base stealer of the season.

Zoe Casas and Makinzy Herzog opened the bottom of the second inning with singles to right field and Leslie Farris moved them into scoring position with a sacrifice bunt. Harrod brought in a run with an RBI single to center, and, after an intentional walk to Sherrill loaded the bases, Mason drew a walk on four pitches to make it 3-0 FSU.

UNC drew a leadoff walk to start the top of the third inning and King entered to replace Herzog in the circle. The redshirt senior allowed a single, but retired the next three batters to end the inning.

Following a one-out single in the top of the fourth by Dray, Shelnutt recorded her second caught stealing as Dray was retired trying to take second.

The Noles added three more runs in the bottom of the fourth inning to double their lead to 6-0. Harrod hit a solo home run to left, her 14th of the season, and Carsyn Gordon followed with a double to right center. Sherrill singled to center and a UNC error allowed Gordon to score, while Mason drove in her second RBI of the game on a groundout to second base.

After showing off with her arm earlier in the game, Shelnutt showed off with her bat in the bottom of the fifth inning, launching a solo home run to left for her 10th home run of the season. Florida State now has six different player with 10 or more home runs on the season.

King retired the final seven batters she faced, allowing the Noles to secure the victory in the bottom of the sixth inning. Harrod hit a single to left to start the inning and after a walk to Gordon, Sherrill ended the game with a double to center, her 17th of the season.

Florida State Posts Run-Rule Victory Over Bethune-Cookman.
The No. 4 Seminoles opened the NCAA Tournament with an 8-0 win in five innings against the Wildcats.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Hitting three doubles and three home runs on Friday afternoon, No. 4 Florida State (52-8) opened the 2019 NCAA Softball Championship with an 8-0 victory in five innings against Bethune-Cookman (26-29) in front of 1,033 people at JoAnne Graf Field.

It is the fourth shutout in a row for the Seminoles, bringing FSU’s total to 22 on the season. It is also the fourth straight season where the Noles have recorded a shutout in their opening game of the NCAA Regionals. FSU has allowed a total of two hits in those victories to start the last four NCAA Tournaments with no-hitters against Florida A&M (2016) and Jacksonville State (2018), and a pair of one-hitters versus Princeton (2017) and Bethune-Cookman (2019).

There was a two hour and five minute delay during the bottom of the fifth inning due to lightning in the area.

“Great ballgame today and we had some opportunities to fight a little bit,” said FSU head coach Lonni Alameda. “I think Makinzy (Herzog) is getting better and better every time she goes out, and the defense is continuing to be more comfortable playing behind her. We had a couple of good swings all over the lineup and it was nice to get the W.”

For the 40th time in their 60 games this season, the Seminoles scored a run in the first inning to take an early lead. Cali Harrod led off by drawing a walk on four pitches, stole second base, moved to third on a fly out and scored on a sacrifice fly by Sydney Sherrill as FSU recorded its 110th first-inning run of the season.

Cassidy Davis made it 2-0 in the bottom of the second as she hit a solo home run to right center. It was her 10th HR of the season, becoming the seventh Seminole to hit 10+ HRs this season, and James Madison and Arizona State are the only other schools in the country to have even five players with 10 or more home runs.

Makinzy Herzog retired the first 11 batters she faced before allowing a two-out single in the top of the fourth to Kaira Cabato. It was the only blemish on her record as the freshman improved to 10-2 on the season with 4.0 scoreless innings and four strikeouts in the win.

Florida State added three runs in the bottom of the fourth to extend its lead to 5-0. Dani Morgan hit a solo home run and Herzog added a two-run double to left field, scoring Davis and Zoe Casas, who reached on a fielder’s choice and an infield single, respectively.

Kathryn Sandercock entered to pitch the top of the fifth inning for the Noles and retired the Wildcats in order, highlighted by an impressive spin throw from Harrod on a ground ball up the middle.

Carsyn Gordon hit a solo home run to begin the FSU fifth inning, just before a rain shower came to JoAnne Graf Field. After the over two-hour delay, Elizabeth Mason drew a walk and Morgan lined a single to left. Davis brought both of them in with a two-run double to right center to end the game.

Seminoles Hit Six HRs In 12-1 Win Over USF.
Florida State wins its 18th consecutive NCAA Regional game on Saturday.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Crushing six home runs, including four in a row in the top of the fifth inning, No. 4 Florida State (53-8) cruised to a 12-1 win in five innings over USF (41-18) on Saturday in the NCAA Tallahassee Regional.

Makinzy Herzog hit a grand slam in the third inning, Leslie Farris added a two-run HR in the fourth and Zoe Casas, Cali Harrod, Carsyn Gordon and Sydney Sherrill all hit solo home runs in the fifth inning as the Seminoles now have 103 home runs on the season to lead the NCAA.

A fourth-inning run by USF ended Florida State’s scoreless streak at 29.0 innings, which dated back to May 5 at Syracuse. It was the second-longest streak for the Noles in 2019, trailing the 31.0 scoreless-inning streak over six games from February 8-15.

“It was an exciting ball game, and this time of the season is so much fun and you never know what to expect,” said FSU head coach Lonni Alameda. “It was fun to have good energy and USF has a great pitcher in (Georgina) Corrick and being able to get her out of there early and get after it was really awesome for us. Now it is just a matter of who we see tomorrow, and we know that it will be a complete dogfight.”

Just like on Friday against Bethune-Cookman, Sherrill put the Seminoles on the board with an RBI in the first inning. After Harrod and Gordon opened the top of the inning with a pair of walks, Sherrill lined a double into the right field corner to put Florida State up 1-0. It was her 18th double of the season and the 47th career two-bagger for the sophomore infielder.

Sherrill opened the third inning with a walk and after a double by Elizabeth Mason, came into score on a bunt single by Dani Morgan. Cassidy Davis drew a walk to load the bases and Herzog broke the game open with a grand slam to right center, her third home run of the season.

FSU starting pitcher Meghan King pitched two perfect innings with four strikeouts before Kathryn Sandercock replaced her in the circle for the bottom of the third.

After a single to left by Morgan in the top of the fourth, Leslie Farris made it 8-0 Seminoles with her third home run of the season, a two-run shot to left field.

USF scored its only run of the game in the bottom of the fourth as consecutive singles with one out put runners on the corners. The Bulls executed a double steal to make it 8-1.

Four straight home runs for the Seminoles to start the top of the fifth inning put the game out of reach. Sandercock retired USF in order in the bottom of the fifth to secure the run-rule victory. The freshman improved to 12-0 on the season, striking out two in three innings of work.

Seminoles Survive South Carolina To Advance To Supers.
Florida State scores twice in the top of the sixth to earn a 7-6 victory over South Carolina.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — In a postseason slugfest that came down to the final out, No. 4 Florida State (54-8) came from behind to defeat No. 21 South Carolina (38-19) by a score of 7-6 on Sunday to win the NCAA Tallahassee Regional and advance to the Super Regional round for the seventh consecutive season.

Makinzy Herzog drove in the game-winning run with a two-out, two-run single to center in the top of the sixth inning. The freshman drove in a team-high eight RBI on the weekend and allowed just one hit and zero walks with four strikeouts with a victory in the circle, as well.

The Seminoles will host No. 13 Oklahoma State (42-14) in the NCAA Tallahassee Super Regional this coming weekend on May 23-26. The specific dates and times for the three-day Super Regional will not be determined until the conclusion of the entire NCAA Regional round.

For the Regional, the Seminoles posted a .887 slugging percentage as a team, recording eight doubles and 10 home runs, as 18 of the 25 hits on the weekend went for extra bases. Florida State scored a run in three of its seven offensive innings on Sunday, and the Noles have brought in at least one run in 16 of their last 23 times at the plate.

“First of all, I’d like to congratulate Bethune-Cookman, USF and South Carolina for getting to a regional,” said FSU head coach Lonni Alameda. “It is hard to reach the postseason and getting harder as the game is getting so much better from coast-to-coast. Big fan of South Carolina and always have been. They have an amazing coaching staff and players that play with a lot of heart. And that was a heartfelt game every pitch.

“Really proud of our team right now. Of course we are happy to be on the winning side, but the fight we saw was outstanding. We got sucker punched and haven’t been down like that in the fifth inning, but the team came together and played as Team 36 this afternoon.”

For the third consecutive game, Sydney Sherrill put the Noles on the board in the first inning as she lifted a sacrifice fly to left to score Cali Harrod. Harrod led off the game with a walk, stole second base, moved to third on a fly out and scored on the sac fly.

Elizabeth Mason continued the inning with a walk and scored on a double to left by Dani Morgan, her 11th 2B of the season. Anna Shelnutt added an RBI single to left to make it 3-0 Florida State. Cassidy Davis followed with a double off the top of the wall in left, but a nice relay from the South Carolina defense retired Shelnutt at the plate to end the inning.

The Gamecocks scored a run in the bottom of the first as a pair of one-out walks turned into a two-out RBI single by Kenzi Maguire to make it 3-1 FSU.

Carsyn Gordon pushed the Seminole lead back out to 5-1 with a two-run home run to right center, her 15th of the season, scoring Harrod, who reached on her second walk of the day. The run was Harrod’s 72nd of the season, tying Shamalene Wilson (1996) for the FSU single-season record.

South Carolina added two runs in the bottom of the third inning, chasing FSU starter Meghan King with two outs in the inning. Kathryn Sandercock entered to pitch for the Noles and got out of the jam with a ground out to second base. King gave up three runs on three hits with four walks and two strikeouts in her 2.2 inning start. The redshirt senior had her scoreless-inning streak snapped at 21.0 innings, dating back to May 5.

The Gamecocks tied the game at 5-5 in the bottom of the fourth inning on RBI singles by Cayla Drotar and Maguire.

SC took the lead in the fifth inning on a sacrifice fly by Alyssa Kumiyama, scoring Madison Owens who hit a double earlier in the inning.

The Seminoles scored twice in the top of the sixth to take a 7-6 lead as Mason led off with a double, Morgan followed with a walk and both scored on a single to center by Herzog.

King re-entered to pitch the final 2.0 innings for the Noles and allowed two hits and a walk with three strikeouts to close out the game and earn her third save of the season and 11th of her career.

Noles Fall In Extra-Innings To Oklahoma State. No. 4 Florida State drops game one of the NCAA Tallahassee Super Regional, 3-1 in nine innings.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Despite two teams that have each set single-season home run records for their programs, the opening game of the NCAA Tallahassee Super Regional ended up as a pitcher’s duel on Thursday night as FSU’s Meghan King and OSU’s Samantha Show controlled the circle for nine innings before No. 13 Oklahoma State (43-14) earned a 3-1 win over No. 4 Florida State (54-8) in front of 1,331 fans at JoAnne Graf Field.

“Good, hard-fought ballgame tonight, just like Super Regionals are supposed to be,” said FSU head coach Lonni Alameda. “Both pitchers pitched a really good game and they took advantage of a few things and we didn’t really make adjustments like we usually do. So now it is on to tomorrow and making the adjustments that we need to.

“We have been in this position many times and we know what it is like. If we are able to flush it, which I know our upperclassmen know how to do and learn from today, take our information from what we saw with (Samantha Show) and move forward.”

Dani Morgan opened the bottom of the second inning with a double to center and Anna Shelnutt followed with a single to left. Makinzy Herzog put the Noles on the board with an infield RBI single for her ninth RBI of the NCAA postseason.

A walk to Carsyn Gordon and an Oklahoma State error put Seminole runners on second and third with one out in the third inning, but a line drive up the middle was snagged by OSU’s Show to start an inning-ending double play.

King retired the first 11 batters she faced, recording seven strikeouts, before the Cowgirls earned their first baserunner with a two-out single in the top of the fourth inning. A pop out to Gordon ended the inning.

The Noles got another runner to third base in the fourth inning as Shelnutt led off with a single to center and was pinch-run for by Deja Bush. A pair of groundouts moved Bush to third base, but she was left stranded to end the inning.

Oklahoma State tied the game at 1-1 in the top of the sixth inning. Chelsea Alexander hit a leadoff double to left center and moved to third with a single. A sacrifice fly by Madi Sue Montgomery squared the game.

After two scoreless frames of extra innings, Oklahoma State began the top of the ninth inning with a double from Montgomery. Michaela Richbourg followed with a two-run home run to right field to put the Cowgirls in front 3-1.

The Seminoles were retired in order in the bottom of the ninth to end the game.

King (29-6) took the loss, giving up three runs on six hits with one walk and 10 strikeouts. It marked the sixth time this season, and the ninth time in her career, that King has recorded 10+ strikeouts.

Kathryn Sandercock pitched 1.0 innings of relief and allowed one base hit.

Florida State Forces Game Three With 4-1 Win Over OSU.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Holding off elimination, No. 4 Florida State (55-9) earned a 4-1 win over No. 13 Oklahoma State (43-15) on Friday night to force a winner-take-all game on Saturday May 25 to decide which school will advance out of the NCAA Tallahassee Super Regional to the 2019 Women’s College World Series.

Across recent ACC and NCAA Tournaments, the Seminoles have won each of their last 13 elimination games in the postseason, including a pair of ACC Championships and the 2018 NCAA National Championship.

“Very proud of our team,” said FSU head coach Lonni Alameda. “This may not have been where we wanted to be, but when you are down after game one, getting that momentum in game two is huge for us. It was a hard-fought game against a great ball club. I was really excited about our fight today, and extremely proud of Meghan King and the tone she set for the team today. Wouldn’t have expected anything less from a competitor like her. Now it is about getting some rest and being able to go into that boxing match we are going to have tomorrow.”

Much like on Thursday, Friday’s game was a pitcher’s duel between FSU’s Meghan King and OSU’s Samantha Show, as neither team was able to produce a baserunner until FSU’s Cassidy Davis was hit by the first pitch of her plate appearance to start the top of the third inning. Zoe Casas followed with an infield single and a walk to Cali Harrod loaded the bases with one out.

Carsyn Gordon drew a walk to put the Noles on the scoreboard, Sydney Sherrill added another with a sacrifice fly and Elizabeth Mason made it 4-0 Florida State with a two-RBI single up the middle. The run scored by Harrod was her 73rd of 2019, setting the FSU single-season record, passing the previous mark of 72 by Shamalene Wilson in 1996.

The Cowgirls scored an unearned run in the bottom of the third inning to make it a 4-1 game. After back-to-back singles to open the inning, King retired the next batter with a strikeout. A ground ball to shortstop was flipped to second for out number two, but the throw to first was wide of the bag, allowing a run to score.

King closed out the game strong in the circle as the redshirt senior allowed just two baserunners on a pair of singles over the final 4.2 with no one getting beyond first base and posting five strikeouts. She improved to 30-6 on the season, striking out nine in the complete-game victory. King is all alone in second place on the FSU all-time wins list with 108, trailing only Lacey Waldrop, who tallied 109 victories from 2012-15.

Seminole Comeback Falls Short Versus Oklahoma State.
No. 4 Florida State ends its season with a 3-2 loss to No. 13 Oklahoma State on Saturday afternoon.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Four Seminole errors, which led to two unearned runs, proved to be the difference on Saturday as No. 4 Florida State (55-10) ended its season with a 3-2 loss to No. 13 Oklahoma State (44-15) in the final game of the NCAA Tallahassee Super Regional.

A solo home run by Anna Shelnutt in the bottom of the seventh brought the tying run to the plate, but the next three FSU hitters were retired to end the game.

“Congratulations to Oklahoma State, and our game has grown so much that 16 teams are battling this weekend, and it is awesome and an honor to be a part of,” said FSU head coach Lonni Alameda. “Couldn’t be more proud of our program. Like I was telling our seniors, if I told them during their senior year of high school the career they would have here and how they have shaped this program, I think they would take it. It hurts right now, but to bring a National Championship trophy and all of the character they’ve brought to the team, it was awesome to see them grow and I am proud of them.”

Cali Harrod started the FSU first inning with an infield single and stole second base for her 43rd SB of the season, but was left stranded as the next three Seminoles were retired in order.

Dani Morgan drew a walk to lead off the bottom of the second inning, stole a base but was unable to advance any further.

FSU starting pitcher Meghan King faced the minimum through the first two innings with two strikeouts and a double play by Leslie Farris after a hit-by-pitch in the second. Oklahoma State opened the scoring with a leadoff home run by Chyenne Factor to begin the top of the third inning, while a trio of Seminole errors later in the inning allowed Oklahoma State to extend its lead to 2-0.

Kathryn Sandercock entered to pitch for the Noles in the top of the fourth and retired all three batters she faced in the inning. King (30-7) allowed two runs, one earned, on two hits with zero walks and two strikeouts in 3.0 innings of work.

Shelnutt started the FSU fifth inning with a single up the middle and was pinch-run for by Deja Bush. Makinzy Herzog followed with a one-out single to left and Farris cut the Oklahoma State lead to 2-1 with an RBI single to center.

Oklahoma State made a pitching change to replace Samantha Show with Logan Simunek, and her first pitch was wild, allowing the runners to move to second and third with one out. Simunek retired the next two batters with a strikeout and a line out to end the inning.

The Cowgirls added another unearned run in the top of the sixth inning Show was hit by a pitch to lead off the inning. A stolen base and a FSU error allowed to the runner to get to third with nobody out and she scored on a sacrifice fly to make it 3-1 Oklahoma State.

Shelnutt led off the bottom of the seventh with her 11th home run of the season to cut the lead to 3-2, but the next three batters were retired to end the game.

Sandercock allowed just one hit and one unearned run over the final 4.0 innings of the game, striking out one while not issuing a walk.

The 2019 Seminoles set school records for home runs (105), batting average (.330) and RBI (423), while ranking second in school history in doubles (103) and runs (454), fourth in hits (552), and sixth in stolen bases. Florida State won its sixth consecutive ACC Championship in 2019, the 17th in program history, and advanced to the NCAA Super Regionals for the seventh consecutive season.

The 2019 Senior Class of Meghan King, Cali Harrod, Carsyn Gordon and Zoe Casas finished their careers with a 223-40-1 record, which trailed only Oklahoma’s 229 wins for the most victories of any school since 2016.

Harrod and Gordon close out their careers as two of the best offensive hitters in FSU history as Harrod ranks in the FSU Top 10 in seven different offensive categories with 155 walks (second), 211 runs (third), 451 defensive assists (t-fourth), 34 home runs (sixth), 41 doubles (t-sixth), 139 RBI (eighth) and .521 slugging percentage (10th).

Gordon also is among the FSU Top 10 in six categories with 38 home runs (third), 174 RBI (third), 153 walks (third), 199 runs (sixth), .558 slugging percentage (sixth) and 923 putouts (ninth).

King wrapped up an outstanding pitching career that saw her finish in the FSU top 10 with 108 wins (second), 791.0 innings pitched (fifth) and a school-record 11 saves.
