Softball Goes 2-0 on Day One of JoAnne Graf Classic.

by Bret Clein

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - After not playing a game for almost 11 months the twelfth ranked Florida State softball team (2-0) went 2-0 on day one of the JoAnne Graf Classic, outscoring their opponents 18-2.

No. 12 Florida State 9, Memphis 0
Florida State started the day off with a 9-0 run-rule victory over Memphis in five innings. Kathryn Sandercock got the start for the Noles and came out throwing well in the first inning earning two strikeouts. The Noles would get two on in the first before stranding them.

The Noles would hold the Tigers to a 1-2-3 inning in the second. Florida State would get runners on the corners but again would not convert.

Florida State finally broke through in the third inning with three runs. Sydney Sherrill started things off with a single and then got moved over to second by Dani Morgan. Cassidy Davis would drive in the Noles first run of the game with a single to right field sending home Sherrill. Morgan and Davis would then score on a passed ball by the Memphis catcher, giving FSU a 3-0 lead.

After holding the Tigers to nothing in the fourth inning, Florida State would erupt for six more runs, putting the game out of reach. It all got started with a Devyn Flaherty double to left field. Davis would single to the shortstop sending Flaherty home for her second RBI of the game. The Seminoles then loaded the bases for Anna Shelnutt who was walked giving the Noles a 5-0 lead. With the bases still loaded, Kiersten Landers hit a bomb to right field for a grand slam, making it 9-0 for Florida State.

Emma Wilson would take over the pitching duties in the fifth inning to close for the Noles pitching a flawless inning going three up, three down.

No. 12 Florida State 9, No. 24 Missouri 2
The Seminoles capped off the day just how they began it with nine runs and a win as they took down No. 24 Missouri, 9-2.

Missouri would take an early 1-0 lead in the game after hitting a homer to left field on the third at-bat of the game. The Seminoles would get nothing going until the third inning.

The bottom of the third inning started off with a Josie Muffley Single to right field and got followed up with a Flaherty single to right field sending Muffley to third. Sherrill would then ground out to second, scoring Muffley and tying the game. Flaherty would eventually get home after stealing third and advancing home on a throwing error by the Missouri catcher.

Missouri would tie it back up at two with their first at-bat of the fourth inning, a solo shot to center field. After nothing across for either team in the bottom of the fourth and the top of the fifth, Florida State took a commanding lead after the bottom of the fifth inning.

The Seminoles would score four runs, once again led by a leadoff hit by Muffley, followed by a hit by Flaherty. Muffley would score on a sac fly by Sherrill, making it 3-2. Flaherty would then score on a throwing error by the third baseman, allowing Cassidy Davis to be safe on first. With two outs, Elizabeth Mason stepped up and hit a two-run homerun to left field, giving the Seminoles a 6-2 lead.

FSU would hold Mizzou to nothing in the sixth before putting up three more runs on the board in the bottom half of the inning to finish off the 9-2 win over No. 24 Missouri.

by Bret Clein

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The No. 12 Florida State softball team (3-1) wrapped up the JoAnne Graf Classic going 1-1 on the Saturday with a 3-2 win over Memphis and a 9-5 loss to No. 24 Missouri.

No. 12 Florida State 3, Memphis 2
The Seminoles started the day with an early 10:00 am game against Memphis in which they would go on to win 3-2. It would not come easy for the Noles as they fell down 2-0 after three innings.

Danielle Watson would get the start in the circle for the Noles, pitching 3.1 innings and allowing two runs on four hits. Watson started strong getting the first three Memphis batters out in order.

Memphis started the second inning out with a single to left then a walk. With two runners on, they would hit a double to left field scoring one run. The Tigers then loaded the bases but would get nothing out of it as Josie Muffley would make a nice play on a throw to home and Watson would strikeout the final batter of the inning.

The Tigers would make it 2-0 in the third inning after they got a batter to second on the error by the FSU shortstop and then stealing second. Memphis would then hit a double to right-center scoring their second run of the game.

Caylan Arnold would then come in to pitch for Florida State in the fourth inning with one out and runners on first and second. She would go on to put out eight straight Memphis Tigers, holding them at two runs.

Florida State would finally get on the board in the fourth inning. Anna Shelnutt led off with a walk and was then replaced by D'Aun Riggs as a pinch-runner. Riggs would advance to second on a wild pitch and then to third on a passed ball. With one out Muffley would walk and then steal second. With two outs and runners on second and third Devyn Flaherty would single to first sending Riggs home moving the Noles within a run 1-2.

The Seminoles would then take the lead in the fifth inning after a pair of back-to-back solo shots from Cassidy Davis and Elizabeth Mason.

After rolling through eight straight Tiger batters, Arnold would let her first batter of the game on with a walk. That would be it as she would strike out the next two batters and then make the final batter pop out to the catcher to end the game.

No. 24 Missouri 9, No. 12 Florida State 5
The Seminoles capped off the day against No. 24 Missouri for the second straight day. This time the Noles would not be as fortunate as they would fall to the Tigers 9-5.

Missouri would take a 3-0 lead early in the game with one run coming in the first and two in the second inning. The Tigers would start off with a single up the middle. A double to left-center would send the Missouri runner home.

In the second inning, Missouri would get a runner on with two outs. That runner would advance to second on another base hit by the Tigers. With runners on first and second and two outs. Wilmes would double to right-center scoring both Missouri runners, giving the Tigers a 3-0 lead heading into the third inning.

Softball Finishes JoAnne Graf Classic 3-1.

by Bret Clein

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The No. 12 Florida State softball team (3-1) wrapped up the JoAnne Graf Classic going 1-1 on the Saturday with a 3-2 win over Memphis and a 9-5 loss to No. 24 Missouri.

No. 12 Florida State 3, Memphis 2
The Seminoles started the day with an early 10:00 am game against Memphis in which they would go on to win 3-2. It would not come easy for the Noles as they fell down 2-0 after three innings.

Danielle Watson would get the start in the circle for the Noles, pitching 3.1 innings and allowing two runs on four hits. Watson started strong getting the first three Memphis batters out in order.

Memphis started the second inning out with a single to left then a walk. With two runners on, they would hit a double to left field scoring one run. The Tigers then loaded the bases but would get nothing out of it as Josie Muffley would make a nice play on a throw to home and Watson would strikeout the final batter of the inning.

The Tigers would make it 2-0 in the third inning after they got a batter to second on the error by the FSU shortstop and then stealing second. Memphis would then hit a double to right-center scoring their second run of the game.

Caylan Arnold would then come in to pitch for Florida State in the fourth inning with one out and runners on first and second. She would go on to put out eight straight Memphis Tigers, holding them at two runs.

Florida State would finally get on the board in the fourth inning. Anna Shelnutt led off with a walk and was then replaced by D'Aun Riggs as a pinch-runner. Riggs would advance to second on a wild pitch and then to third on a passed ball. With one out Muffley would walk and then steal second. With two outs and runners on second and third Devyn Flaherty would single to first sending Riggs home moving the Noles within a run 1-2.

The Seminoles would then take the lead in the fifth inning after a pair of back-to-back solo shots from Cassidy Davis and Elizabeth Mason.

After rolling through eight straight Tiger batters, Arnold would let her first batter of the game on with a walk. That would be it as she would strike out the next two batters and then make the final batter pop out to the catcher to end the game.

No. 24 Missouri 9, No. 12 Florida State 5
The Seminoles capped off the day against No. 24 Missouri for the second straight day. This time the Noles would not be as fortunate as they would fall to the Tigers 9-5.

Missouri would take a 3-0 lead early in the game with one run coming in the first and two in the second inning. The Tigers would start off with a single up the middle. A double to left-center would send the Missouri runner home.

In the second inning, Missouri would get a runner on with two outs. That runner would advance to second on another base hit by the Tigers. With runners on first and second and two outs. Wilmes would double to right-center scoring both Missouri runners, giving the Tigers a 3-0 lead heading into the third inning.

Missouri would not stop there as they would score three more in the top of the third on three hits.

Florida State would get within one in the bottom of the third after scoring five runs. Kalei Harding started things off for FSU with a leadoff double. That was then followed up by a bomb from Jahni Kerr into the scoreboard. It was her first hit as a Seminole and one to remember. She became the first Seminole since Feb. 22, 2019, when Savannah Parker hit a homerun on her first hit.

Sydney Sherrill would then walk and make it to home on a Dani Morgan double. Elizabeth Mason would give the Noles five runs on her third homerun of the season.

Missouri would come right back and score two more runs in the fifth making it 9-5. Florida State would only get one more hit the rest of the game as they could not come back. FSU would fall to Missouri 9-5 for their first loss of the season.

Florida State quickly tied the game back up at one in the bottom of the first inning. Kiersten Landers led off with a walk. She stole second and a few pitches later advanced to third on a wild pitch.

Sydney Sherrill followed that up with a walk of her own and then stole second. With two outs Dani Morgan stepped up to the plate and hit a double over the centerfielder's head scoring two runs and earning her fifth and sixth RBIs of the weekend.

In the top of the fourth, Georgia Tech cut the Seminole lead to one coming off of a three-run home run by Crosby Huckabay. The Yellow Jackets got two runners on after an error by the Seminole defense and a bunt single.

Caylan Arnold came in to pitch for the Noles in the fifth inning and only allowed one runner on in three innings as she shut down the Georgia Tech offense, holding them at four runs as the Seminoles would win 5-4.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The No. 15 Florida State softball team (8-3) defeated Florida Gulf Coast (4-6) on day one of the Unconquered Invitational, 7-0.

Florida Gulf Coast 7, Florida State 0
Kathryn Sandercock started and pitched 4 innings for the Noles in the circle as she allowed 2 hits and no runs with five strikeouts. She improved her record this season to 3-1.

Caylan Arnold entered the game in relief in the top of the fifth inning. She pitched two innings and allowed no hits with one strikeout.

Emma Wilson finished the game for Florida State pitching the final inning, not allowing a single batter on base.

Florida State got things started in the first at-bat of the game as Elizabeth Mason hit a solo home run to left field, giving FSU an early 1-0 lead.

The Noles continued to tack on the runs in the second inning, scoring two more. Kiersten Landers led off the inning with a double to center field. Anna Shelnutt followed that up with a strongly hit ball up the middle scoring Landers. FSU would then load the bases for Devyn Flaherty who would hit a sac fly to center field scoring Kaley Mudge, giving FSU a 3-0 advantage.

The Seminoles extended their lead in the bottom of the third inning with two more runs. The Noles once again started off the inning with a leadoff home run, this time by Cassidy Davis over the center-field wall. Kalei Harding would then get on with a walk and score three batters later after Kaley Mudge singled back to the pitcher.

In the fifth, Florida State put up two more runs to make it 7-0. Harding scored the first run after Kaia LoPreste put the ball in play towards the second baseman. Josie Muffley brought home the second run of the inning on a single up the middle scoring Landers from third.

Scoring Summary

From Head Coach Lonni Alameda:
"I am proud of our performance today. We saw some intensity from the team at the plate and in the circle. Elizabeth Mason had a great day today. Anytime you have leadoff intensity like that and production from that spot in the lineup it sets the tone for the whole team. We are excited to see that and we are looking forward to two games tomorrow."

Sherrill Breaks Record As Seminoles Finish Undefeated Weekend At Unconquered Invitational.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The No. 15 Florida State softball team (10-3) swept both of its games in the Unconquered Invitational on Saturday, defeating FGCU (5-7) 4-1 and Southeastern Louisiana (6-6) 3-0 to finish the weekend a perfect 3-0.

Game 1 - Florida State 4, FGCU 1
Sydney Sherrill made history with her fifth-inning double, breaking the program's career record with the 52nd of her career. The shot off the right field wall, which also moved her into sole possession of fifth on the ACC's all-time career list, brought home two runs and gave FSU a 4-0 lead.

Kathryn Sandercock earned the win in the circle, tossing the final 4.0 innings and allowing only two hits and one run with three strikeouts. Starting pitcher Danielle Watson recorded six strikeouts and allowed no runs in three-plus innings of work.

The Seminoles got on the board early when Kaley Mudge's sacrifice fly to center scored Kiersten Landers from third for a 1-0 FSU lead. Another sacrifice fly in the fifth, this time from Kalei Harding scoring Elizabeth Mason from third, extended the lead to 2-0.

Scoring Summary

Game 2 - Florida State 3, Southeastern Louisiana 0
Senior Caylan Arnold threw 5.0 no-hit innings and registered a season-high nine strikeouts to earn the win. Arnold, who recorded at least one strikeout in each inning, retired the first 11 batters she faced and struck out the side in the third inning. She only allowed two baserunners, one reaching on a hit-by-pitch and the other on an error.

Florida State struck early, taking a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the second courtesy of a two-out single from Anna Shelnutt that scored Sydney Sherrill from second. The Seminoles added two insurance runs in their final at-bat after loading the bases with two outs in the bottom of the sixth. A wild pitch scored Kiersten Landers from third and a throwing error by the catcher allowed Sherrill to come around from second to give FSU a 3-0 lead and provide the final margin.

Emma Wilson started the game and threw 2.0 shutout innings. Southeastern Louisiana loaded the bases in the top of the first with three straight singles to lead off the game, but Wilson recorded two strikeouts sandwiched around a flyout to left field to quash the threat with no runs scored.

Scoring Summary

From Head Coach Lonni Alameda:
"We had a good pitching performance today. All the pitchers came out and got after it. It's nice to see Sydney swing the bat and get the career doubles record. She's been huge for this program and is a huge leader so it was really cool to see that. Now we get a couple of days to work on some things and get ready for next week."

FSU had runners on the corners with no outs for Elizabeth Mason, who stepped up to the plate and hit a single to left field scoring two more runs, giving FSU a 4-0 lead.

Florida State was not finished in the second inning, as they scored one more run on a Kalei Harding double off of the center field wall.

Florida got two runs back in the top of the fourth inning, narrowing the FSU lead to 5-2. The two runs came off of a double by Wilkie and a sacrifice fly by Longley.

The Seminoles extended their lead back to five in the fifth inning as Josie Muffley singled up the middle driving in two more runs, giving Florida State an insurmountable 7-2 lead.

Scoring Summary

From Head Coach Lonni Alameda:
"The win was huge for Team 38. I think for this team, this year, what we are trying to find with our consistency defensively and our hitting and pitching. We did not feel good about ourselves coming home yesterday and to flip the script and get after it energy wise from first pitch to last pitch, I am really proud of them. Kat took control out there and pitched a gem for us today. It was really good for us moving forward."

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The No. 16 Florida State softball team (12-4) took game one against No. 2 Arizona (13-2), 4-2, on Thursday night. The Seminoles have now won three of the last four against the Wildcats.

No. 16 Florida State 4, No. 2 Arizona 2
Kathryn Sandercock started and pitched her third complete game of the season for the Noles in the circle as she allowed seven hits and two runs with four strikeouts. She improved to 6-1 on the season with two wins over top-5 teams.

Florida State came out of the gates swinging, scoring three runs in the first inning. Elizabeth Mason led off for the Noles with a double down the right-field line. She scored on the next at-bat as Devyn Flaherty blasted a single up the middle. Sydney Sherrill then walked bringing up freshman Kalei Harding.

Scoring Summary

From Head Coach Lonni Alameda:
"From the start, Kat did a great job in the circle. We made some great defensive plays today. We were in the right spot and talking good on the field. We also set the tone swinging it tonight. Everyone had really good at-bats. Anna had a big home run to swing it and Kalei Harding as a freshman has been swinging it well. Elizabeth Mason has been stellar in the leadoff spot giving us quality at-bats. Each piece is starting to come together and they are having a lot of fun with it. That is really cool to see."

No. 13 Florida State 3, Boston College 2

Kathryn Sandercock started and pitched her fourth complete game of the season for the Noles in game one of the day. She allowed two hits and two runs with two strikeouts. Sandercock retired the minimum through five innings before two unearned runs were scored in the fifth.

After being held scoreless through four innings, the Seminole offense exploded for three runs in the fifth. Devyn Flaherty started things off with a leadoff first-pitch home run to right-center. With two outs D'Aun Riggs scored from first, showing her speed after a single to right-center by Elizabeth Mason. One pitch later, FSU made their lead 3-0 with a triple down the right-field line by Kalei Harding.

Boston College narrowed the Florida State lead to one with two runs of their own in the bottom of the sixth. The Eagles' leadoff batter reached on a throwing error by Muffley. BC then singled putting runners on first and second with no outs. A groundball back to Sandercock advanced the runners and a one-out double by Ellie Matay scored Boston College's first run. Nicole Giery hit a sacrifice fly to center a few pitches later to narrow FSU's lead to 3-2.

Scoring Summary

No.13 Florida State 5, Boston College 0

One batter later, Dani Morgan put down a sacrifice bunt scoring Muffley to give FSU a 3-1 lead heading into the seventh inning.

Sandercock led off the game's final inning with two straight strikeouts before recording a ground out to second to secure the Florida State victory in the opening game of the series.

Scoring Summary

From Head Coach Lonni Alameda:

"A four-game series, in general, is tough so the first win is very important. We have so much fun doing a three-game series because that is what the postseason is all about. You get a feel for the momentum of trying to win the series. Now having a fourth game in there, the battle-tested mindset is going to be big. Getting the first one is a lot of momentum for you. Caylan and Kat threw really well today and the defense was on point. Being able to scratch out runs is so fun to see the excitement of just trying to scratch and be gritty and get it done."

Sandercock's Gem Lifts Noles Over No. 20 Duke.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Redshirt Sophomore pitcher Kathryn Sandercock extended her scoreless innings pitched streak to 19 straight frames as she shut down No. 20 Duke and helped No. 9 Florida State Softball to a 5-0 win on Friday night at JoAnne Graf Field.

Sandercock (13-1) pitched a complete-game shut-out, tossing 7.0 scoreless innings and allowing just one hit and three walks in 23 batters faced. Sandercock threw just 80 pitches and also struck out three Blue Devils (27-7) in the big conference win.

The only hit surrendered by Sandercock was a leadoff triple by Duke's Deja Davis to begin the fourth inning. But in that frame, she stranded Duke's lone runner and ended the inning when Davis tried to steal home in between pitches, with Sandercock throwing her out at the plate.

All five of the Seminoles' (25-6) runs came with two outs in Friday night's nationally-ranked matchup. Senior Cassidy Davis led the way by going 2-for-2, including her team-leading fifth home run of the season in the third inning when she jumped on a 2-1 offering from Duke starting pitcher Peyton St. George (11-4) and smashed it to centerfield for a two-run homer.

In the bottom of the sixth, Sydney Sherril smacked a two-out, two-run double to left center to plate Elizabeth Mason and create the game's final score at 5-0. The extra insurance runs were more than enough for Sandercock, who faced the minimum of three batters in the seventh despite allowing a walk.

The game ended on a strikeout-throwout scenario as Duke's Sydney Bolan swung and missed, and FSU catcher Anna Shulnutt delivered her own strike down at second base to throw out pinch runner Kendyl Lange to end the game.

Noles Record Fifth Straight Shut-Out, Defeat Duke.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The ninth-ranked Florida State Softball team continued its dominant ways from the circle, defeating No. 20 Duke, 3-0, to record its fifth consecutive shut-out on Saturday night at JoAnne Graf Field.

Junior pitcher Danielle Watson (5-0) continued her strong showing by tossing seven scoreless innings and allowing just three hits and striking out two in 29 batters faced. She did not allow an extra base hit to the Blue Devils (27-7, 15-7) tonight.

Duke pitcher Shelby Walters (11-3) took the loss after allowing three runs on six hits in six innings pitched. Walters entered the matchup with an impressive 0.94 ERA.

The Seminoles (25-6, 13-2) opened the game up in the bottom of the second inning. Anna Shelnutt led off the frame with a walk, followed by a single up the middle from Cassidy Davis. Josie Muffley then singled to third base on a bunt to load the bases with no outs, and Kiersten Landers hit a soft groundout that was just enough to score Shelnutt from third base.

Elizabeth Mason then recorded an RBI groundout to the second baseman to make it 2-0, and veteran Dani Morgan followed with a nice piece of hitting as she went for an opposite field RBI single through the right side, making it 3-0.

Sydney Sherrill (1-for-2), Kalei Harding (1-for-3), Davis (1-for-3), Muffley (1-for-2), Landers (1-for-3) and Morgan (1-for-1) each provided FSU's six base hits on Saturday night.

Softball Sweeps No. 20 Duke With a Walk-Off Bunt.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The No. 10 Florida State softball team (27-6) earned the series sweep over No. 20 Duke (27-9) with a 4-3 win on Sunday afternoon. The Seminoles earned the win on a one-out walk-off bunt from Anna Shelnutt, scoring Sydney Sherrill.

The Seminoles were strong on the base paths this afternoon, stealing eight bases, one shy of the program record and season-high of nine against Georgia Tech.

No. 10 Florida State 4, No. 20 Duke 3

Caylan Arnold started and pitched 4.2 innings for the Noles in the final game of the series against the Blue Devils. She allowed five hits and three runs with two strikeouts.

Kathryn Sandercock entered the game in relief and threw 2.1 innings, allowing just one hit on her way to her 14th win of the season.

Florida State got on the board early with three runs in the first inning. Kiersten Landers led off the game for the Noles with a walk and three pitches later scored on Sydney Sherrill's 57th career double. She is now one double shy of tying the ACC doubles record.

Kalei Harding singled putting runners on the corners with no outs for Anna Shelnutt who walked and loaded the bases with no outs in the first for Cassidy Davis. Davis sent one back up the middle, plating Shelnutt and Harding, giving the Garnet and Gold an early 3-0 advantage.

Duke cut into the lead in the top of the third inning, scoring two runs on a Jameson Kavel single to right field. The Blue Devils tied it up in the fifth inning after Deja Devis singled through the right side scoring Kelly Torres.

With the game tied at three heading into the seventh inning, Sherrill led off with a walk. She then stole second and third for FSU's seventh and eighth stolen bases of the day. With one out, Anna Shelnutt put down a bunt toward the first baseman scoring Sherrill.

Scoring Summary

From Head Coach Lonni Alameda:

"I am really proud of the team. A three-game or four-game series, even though we had rain is tough to sweep and it takes a gritty mindset on Sunday. They came out ready today and we had some good pitching performances. I am excited to learn some things from this and get ready for Syracuse next weekend."

No. 9 Seminoles Tie Single-Game Home Run Record During Doubleheader Sweep.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. - The No. 9 Florida State softball team (29-6, 17-2 ACC) swept Syracuse (15-13, 8-10) in a doubleheader Saturday. The Seminoles earned a 7-3 win in game one and a 9-0 run-rule victory in game two.

In game one, the Seminoles tied the program's single-game record with six home runs. The homers were hit by five different players and equaled a mark established May 18, 2019, against South Florida.

Game 1 - No. 9 Florida State 7, Syracuse 3

The Seminoles used a program-record-tying six home runs hit by five different players to score their seven runs in game one. Devyn Flaherty led the way with two home runs and three RBI, while Anna Shelnutt, Cassidy Davis, Josie Muffley and Kiersten Landers all added solo home runs. Landers also stole two bases during game one.

Kathryn Sandercock earned her 15th win of the season after a strong outing. The redshirt sophomore from McLean, Virginia, registered three strikeouts and allowed only one run on five hits in 5.0 innings of work.

Florida State exploded on offense in the top of the fourth and took the lead behind three home runs after Syracuse scored one run in the first. The Seminoles began the inning with back-to-back home runs, starting with Shelnutt's bomb over the trees in left-center field to tie the game at 1-1. Davis then hit a home run into the net behind the fence in right-center to give FSU a 2-1 lead, and Flaherty hit a two-run shot to right-center field with two outs, scoring Elizabeth Mason to extend the lead to 4-1.

The offense burst forward again in the sixth behind three more home runs. Muffley homered to left center with one out to give FSU a 5-1 lead, and Flaherty hit her second of the day with two outs to push the lead to 6-1. After a pitching change, Landers took the first pitch she saw way over the fence in right-center field to cap the Seminoles' scoring.

Emma Wilson pitched 1.0 scoreless inning with one strikeout and one hit allowed. Danielle Watson came in for the seventh to finish the game and recorded two strikeouts while allowing two runs on one hit for the final margin of 7-3.

Scoring Summary

Game 2 - No. 9 Florida State 9, Syracuse 0 (6 Innings)

Florida State kept its offense rolling into the second game, striking early and often to earn a run-rule win. Caylan Arnold threw 5.0 innings of two-hit ball while striking out eight to earn her ninth win of the season.

The Seminoles took an early lead in the top of the second inning when Anna Shelnutt scored from second on a single up the middle by Josie Muffley. FSU manufactured a run in the fourth behind D'Aun Riggs' legs. Riggs came in to pinch-run after Shelnutt earned a walk and proceeded to steal second and then, one batter later, third before scoring on Dani Morgan's bunt single to give Florida State a 2-0 lead.

In the fifth inning, Landers added her third stolen base of the day and, along with Sydney Sherrill, scored on Kalei Harding's double for a 4-0 lead. Harding scored one batter later on Cassidy Davis' double, giving FSU a 5-0 advantage.

Elizabeth Mason crushed a solo home run to left-center field for a 6-0 lead in the sixth. Freshman Carson Saabye recorded her first collegiate hit later in the inning, smashing a double down the third-base line and igniting a two-out rally. The Monument, Colorado, native would come around to score the first run of her collegiate career on Kaia LoPreste's two-out double. After Sherrill scored on a wild pitch, LoPreste completed the scoring on an RBI single by Shelnutt to provide the 9-0 final score.

Emma Wilson came on in the sixth inning and forced a leadoff pop out. After an error, Brianna Enter took the ball and retired the next two batters to finish off the Orange.

Scoring Summary

From Head Coach Lonni Alameda:
"I was really excited for our offense today. We were swinging it and had good energy. Coming out with good pitching and defense and hitting after a rain day yesterday was fun to see, and we're excited about playing two tomorrow. It was good for our pitchers to make some adjustments and was nice to see Emma and Bri give us some good innings today. Carson (Saabye) coming off the bench getting her opportunity was exciting, and that impacts the whole team. Everyone works so hard to be able to capitalize on the chances they get like Carson did today."

No. 9 FSU Completes Another Four-Game Sweep.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. - The No. 9 Florida State softball team (31-6, 19-2 ACC) completed a four-game weekend sweep of Syracuse (15-15, 8-13) by taking both games of a Sunday doubleheader. The Seminoles earned a 3-2 extra-inning win in game one and a 13-1 run-rule victory in game two.

In the first inning of game two, Sydney Sherrill tied the ACC career record with her 58th double. The redshirt junior from Moore, Oklahoma, broke the FSU record on Feb. 27 and currently ranks fifth nationally among all active players.

FSU hit six more home runs on Sunday and smashed 13 total home runs during the four-game series.

Game 1 - No. 9 Florida State 3, Syracuse 2 (8 Innings)

Florida State showcased its clutch gene in the morning contest. The Seminoles twice came back from one-run deficits, including with two outs in the top of the seventh inning. Kalei Harding singled to left with two outs in the seventh, allowing Kiersten Landers to score from second and tie the game at 2-2.

Syracuse scored first on a solo home run in the bottom of the fifth. Anna Shelnutt quickly tied the game with a leadoff home run in the top of the sixth. The Orange plated an unearned run in the bottom of the frame, and then with two outs in the top of the seventh Landers doubled to keep the game alive. After Sydney Sherrill worked a walk, Harding stepped up and delivered the game-tying RBI.

Cassidy Davis smashed a leadoff single to start the eighth and was replaced on the basepaths by D'Aun Riggs. Riggs then stole second and came around to score on a throwing error by Syracuse for what proved to be the game-winning run.

Caylan Arnold started the game and provided a solid outing in the circle. She registered three strikeouts, giving her 11 for the weekend, and only two hits in 5.1 innings of work. Kathryn Sandercock came on in the sixth and finished the game with 2.2 shutout innings to earn her 16th win of the year.

Scoring Summary

Game 2 - No. 9 Florida State 13, Syracuse 1 (6 Innings)
Florida State wasted no time getting the offense going in game two, scoring three runs in the first and never looking back. After Sherrill's record-tying double, Harding hit a two-run home run to left-center. One batter later, Cassidy Davis hit her second home run of the weekend over the fence in right center.

Dani Morgan hit two home runs for five total RBI, knocking a two-run homer in the fourth and a three-run shot in the sixth for the final three runs of the game. Kalei Harding also hit two home runs, knocking consecutive two-run blasts in her first two at-bats of the game. Sherrill ended the game 4-for-5 at the plate with three runs scored.

Florida State scored three runs in the first inning, two in the third, three in the fourth and five in the sixth to finalize the run-rule win.

Danielle Watson earned the win after pitching 3.0 no-hit innings in relief with four strikeouts. Kathryn Sandercock started the game and pitched 2.0 innings with two strikeouts and two hits allowed. Emma Wilson came in and pitched a perfect sixth inning, ending the game with a strikeout.

Scoring Summary

From Head Coach Lonni Alameda:
"Today was a really big day for our offense. It was awesome for Sydney Sherrill. It's always nice to be part of history, and she's such a tremendous teammate. Kalei Harding had a good day as well. We showed nice fight in game one to get back into it late in the ballgame and have some good at-bats led by Kiersten Landers. I'm proud of the team and proud of the fight. When you're playing four games in back-to-back days with doubleheaders, they're getting a lot of looks at our hitters and we're getting a lot of looks at them. Getting different looks today with Danielle Watson and Emma Wilson coming in was great. It was good to get everyone in the game because this is a dogfight and it's going to take everybody. Everyone was in it giving quality at-bats and quality pitches in the circle."

No. 7 Seminoles Split Friday Doubleheader At Louisville.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - The No. 7 Florida State softball team (32-7, 20-3 ACC) split a doubleheader Friday at Louisville (17-22, 11-16). The Seminoles jumped on the Cardinals early, taking a 10-0 win in game one before dropping game two 5-1.

Sydney Sherrill, who tied the ACC career record for doubles Sunday at Syracuse, needed little time to take sole possession of the conference record. The redshirt junior from Moore, Oklahoma, doubled off the wall in center field in the top of the third inning of game one. She then added another double in the sixth inning to end the day with 60 career doubles.

The loss in game two snapped Florida State's 16-game winning streak.

Game 1 - No. 7 Florida State 10, Louisville 0

Florida State used dominant pitching and powerful offense to take game one 10-0. The Seminoles ended the game by retiring 18 consecutive Louisville batters and scored in each of the game's final five innings, including multiple runs in the fifth, sixth and seventh innings.

One game after tying the ACC career doubles record, Sydney Sherrill moved herself atop the conference's list all by herself in the third inning. The redshirt junior from Moore, Oklahoma, knocked a double off the wall in center field to take sole possession of the record and then came around to score the game's first run on a single by Kalei Harding.

Kathryn Sandercock earned the win after throwing 5.0 shutout innings with four strikeouts and only two hits allowed. The redshirt sophomore pitched four perfect innings before Danielle Watson entered for the top of the sixth and sat down all four batters she faced. Emma Wilson then took the ball and retired the final two batters to complete the shutout.

Before coming in the circle, Wilson registered the first hit of her collegiate career, a pinch-hit, three-run home run in the top of the seventh. Sherrill, Kiersten Landers and Elizabeth Mason all had multiple-hit games, while Sherrill and Devyn Flaherty each scored two runs.

Scoring Summary

Game 2 - Louisville 5, No. 7 Florida State 1

Louisville ended FSU's 16-game winning streak in a tight contest in game two. The Cardinals hit a solo home run in the bottom of the first and, after Florida State tied the game in the top of the third, took the lead for good on an error in the bottom of the third. Louisville added three runs in the bottom of the sixth for the final margin.

Caylan Arnold started in the circle and recorded five strikeouts in 3.2 innings. She scattered six hits and two runs before turning the ball over to Danielle Watson. Watson pitched the rest of the game, allowing only two hits and registering two strikeouts while allowing three runs in 2.1 innings of work.

No. 7 Seminoles Split Friday Doubleheader At Louisville.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - The No. 7 Florida State softball team (32-7, 20-3 ACC) split a doubleheader Friday at Louisville (17-22, 11-16). The Seminoles jumped on the Cardinals early, taking a 10-0 win in game one before dropping game two 5-1.

Sydney Sherrill, who tied the ACC career record for doubles Sunday at Syracuse, needed little time to take sole possession of the conference record. The redshirt junior from Moore, Oklahoma, doubled off the wall in center field in the top of the third inning of game one. She then added another double in the sixth inning to end the day with 60 career doubles.

The loss in game two snapped Florida State's 16-game winning streak.

Game 1 - No. 7 Florida State 10, Louisville 0

Florida State used dominant pitching and powerful offense to take game one 10-0. The Seminoles ended the game by retiring 18 consecutive Louisville batters and scored in each of the game's final five innings, including multiple runs in the fifth, sixth and seventh innings.

One game after tying the ACC career doubles record, Sydney Sherrill moved herself atop the conference's list all by herself in the third inning. The redshirt junior from Moore, Oklahoma, knocked a double off the wall in center field to take sole possession of the record and then came around to score the game's first run on a single by Kalei Harding.

Kathryn Sandercock earned the win after throwing 5.0 shutout innings with four strikeouts and only two hits allowed. The redshirt sophomore pitched four perfect innings before Danielle Watson entered for the top of the sixth and sat down all four batters she faced. Emma Wilson then took the ball and retired the final two batters to complete the shutout.

Before coming in the circle, Wilson registered the first hit of her collegiate career, a pinch-hit, three-run home run in the top of the seventh. Sherrill, Kiersten Landers and Elizabeth Mason all had multiple-hit games, while Sherrill and Devyn Flaherty each scored two runs.

Scoring Summary

Game 2 - Louisville 5, No. 7 Florida State 1

Louisville ended FSU's 16-game winning streak in a tight contest in game two. The Cardinals hit a solo home run in the bottom of the first and, after Florida State tied the game in the top of the third, took the lead for good on an error in the bottom of the third. Louisville added three runs in the bottom of the sixth for the final margin.

Caylan Arnold started in the circle and recorded five strikeouts in 3.2 innings. She scattered six hits and two runs before turning the ball over to Danielle Watson. Watson pitched the rest of the game, allowing only two hits and registering two strikeouts while allowing three runs in 2.1 innings of work.

No. 7 Seminoles Shut Out Louisville Sunday.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - The No. 7 Florida State softball team (33-7-1, 21-3-1 ACC) won its first game Sunday at Louisville (17-23-1, 11-17-1) before the teams tied game two. The Seminoles earned a run-rule, 9-0 win in five innings in game one, and the teams played 11 scoreless innings in game two.

The second game of the doubleheader ended in a tie when it was halted after 11 innings. The game was stopped due to the pre-determined stop time because of Florida State's return flight.

Game 1 - No. 7 Florida State 9, Louisville 0 (5 Innings)

Florida State used a four-run second inning to take an early lead and a five-run fourth inning to put the run-rule into play in game one.

Kiersten Landers knocked in four RBI as part of a 2-for-3 game at the plate, while Devyn Flaherty was a perfect 3-for-3 with two runs scored and Josie Muffley also posted a multi-hit game, going 2-for-3 with two runs scored.

Kathryn Sandercock pitched 3.1 innings allowing only one hit with four strikeouts to earn her 18th win of the season. Emma Wilson came on in relief and struck out two with one hit allowed while facing the minimum over the final 1.2 innings.

Scoring Summary

Game 2 - No. 7 Florida State 0, Louisville 0 (11 Innings)

Kathryn Sandercock got the start again in game two and delivered 5.0 shutout innings with four strikeouts and three hits allowed. Caylan Arnold struck out six, bringing her season total to 105, and allowed only three hits in 5.1 innings before turning it over to Danielle Watson in the bottom of the 11th. Watson struck out the first batter she faced and ended the inning with another strikeout after an intentional walk.

Cassidy Davis was 2-for-4 at the plate in game two. Devyn Flaherty added one hit and led FSU with a combined four hits over the two games.

The second game of the doubleheader was halted after 11 complete innings. It was the longest game by the Seminoles since an 8-5 victory in 11 innings over LSU on May 26, 2018. That game tied the Super Regional and advanced the teams to a winner-take-all game later that evening. Florida State won that game, advanced to the Women's College World Series and claimed the ACC's first softball national title 10 days later.

No. 6 Softball Walks Off NC State.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The No. 6 Florida State softball team (34-7-1) walked off NC State (24-18) with a two-out single in the bottom of the seventh inning.

The Seminoles have won the opening game of every ACC series this season.

No. 6 Florida State 2, NC State 1

Caylan Arnold started and pitched a gem for the Noles. She threw 6.2 innings for FSU in the first game of the series against the Wolfpack. Arnold allowed just three hits and one run with five strikeouts.

Danielle Watson entered the game with two outs in the seventh inning and forced a groundout to second base.

Neither team had much going until the fourth inning. NC State loaded the bases in the top of the fourth inning with one out after a double, a walk and a fielder's choice. Arnold got out of the jam with a strikeout and a pop-out to first base.

At the bottom of the fourth inning, Florida State put the first run on the board after an Elizabeth Mason solo home run over the left-field wall. It was her team high tying seventh of the season.

NC State tied the game up at one in the sixth inning. Sam Russ led off the inning with a single to center field. She then stole second and advanced to third on an error. One batter later she scored on a sacrifice fly to center field.

With the game tied at one heading into the bottom of the seventh, Florida State walked off the Wolfpack. Kiersten Landers singled to left field with one out and then stole second. She advanced to third on a fly ball to center field. Freshman Kalei Harding stepped up to the plate with two outs and singled to the third baseman, beating out the throw for a walk-off win.

Scoring Summary

From Head Coach Lonni Alameda:

"Winning the first game of the series is very important to set the town for the weekend. It was a really close ball game and I am really proud of Caylan Arnold, she pitched a gem for us. We got a big swing by Mason and then scratched and clawed from there. Tomorrow is going to be another dog fight and I am really proud of the fight that I saw today."

We are going to make some adjustments come back and be stronger tomorrow on senior day while we celebrate five incredible seniors who have given a lot to this program."

No. 6 Noles Fall to Pitt.

PITTSBURGH, Pa. - The sixth-ranked Florida State softball team (36-9-1) fell to Pittsburgh (17-27) on Friday at Vartabedian Field after the Panthers hit a two-run walk-off home run, handing the Seminoles a 5-6 loss.

Florida State was paced by redshirt junior Sydney Sherrill, who hit her first home run of the season and 33rd of her career to put the Seminoles in front 1-0 in the top of the first. Sherrill also broke a 4-4 tie after sending an RBI-double to center field in the top of the sixth.

The Moore, Oklahoma, native, is poised to move up the career record ranks as she one homer shy of tying Cali Harrod (34) for sixth place on FSU's all-time home runs list. Sherrill is also one RBI away from tying Courtney Senas (158) in sixth on the all-time RBI list.

Sherrill added to her school record for career doubles and now has 62.

In the top of the third, senior Elizabeth Mason drew a walk with one out. Mason stole her 15th and 16th bases of the season, advancing to third. Sherrill walked, putting runners on the corners.

Freshman Kalei Harding stepped to the plate and delivered an RBI single. Sherrill would add another run after advancing on a throwing error to make it 3-0.

Senior Anna Shelnutt and redshirt freshman Devyn Flaherty smacked back-to-back hits to start the fourth inning. Redshirt sophomore Josie Muffley reached first on a throwing error, scoring Shelnutt to make it 4-0.

Pitt added four runs in the bottom of the fourth behind a solo shot and a two-run home run with two outs. The Panthers reached on an error and added another run after an RBI single.

Redshirt junior Danielle Watson (7-1) entered the game for redshirt sophomore Kathryn Sandercock (20-1) and struck out the final batter of the frame.

After a scoreless fifth, Sherrill broke the tie in the top of the sixth, after sending an RBI-double to center field as Mason would score after reaching base on a one-out walk.

Watson faced 10 batters through 2.1 innings of work, striking out four.

Redshirt Caylan Arnold (9-6), entered the game in the bottom of the seventh.

Softball Earns Two Wins at Pittsburgh.

PITTSBURGH, Pa. - The sixth-ranked Florida State softball team (38-9-1) picked up two wins against Pittsburgh (17-29) on Saturday at Vartabedian Field. The Seminoles pulled through 5-4 in Game 1 before taking Game 2, 14-0.

"I'm really excited about our fight today," FSU head coach Lonni Alameda said. "From pitch one to last pitch of a doubleheader, I thought we put it together as a team today and it was really good to see us come back after a tough game last night, knowing that Pitt is fighting to get into the ACC Tournament. It was a team day."

After going ahead 5-4 in the seventh inning in Game 1, the Seminoles got the bats going in Game 2, stringing together 14 runs on 12 hits, including two home runs from freshman Kalei Harding.

Harding smacked her fourth and fifth of the season, recording her second multi-home run game of the year.

"It was nice to get Kalei swinging it," Alameda added. "As a freshman, it's a long season, and trying to figure it out and usually you're a sophomore by this time, so to be able to separate that and get after it and free-swinging."

Redshirt freshman Devyn Flaherty paced the Noles, combining for five hits and five RBI's in eight at-bats.

Redshirt junior Syndey Sherrill is now tied for sixth place with Courtney Senas on FSU's all-time RBI's list at 158 after she drove in redshirt freshman Kaley Mudge in the second inning of game two.

Redshirt junior Danielle Watson (8-1) picked up her first shutout win of the season in Game 2, working 3.2 innings, striking out seven of the 14 batters she faced.

Game 1 - No. 6 Florida State 5, Pitt 4

Redshirt senior Caylan Arnold faced 21 batters over five innings, striking out eight. Arnold gave up three hits and three runs, all earned and also walked three batters.

Redshirt senior Dani Morgan led off the third inning with a single up the middle and was sacrificed over to second. Morgan moved to third after Sherrill grounded out to first. Harding and redshirt senior Cassidy Davis drew two-out walks for senior Elizabeth Mason.

With the count 3-1, Mason delivered a hard-hit single off the pitcher's glove, driving in two in order to go ahead 2-0.

Davis scored from second after Flaherty sent an RBI-single into left field in order to make it 3-0.

After four-straight swinging strikeouts, the Panthers cut the lead to one after a two-run home run with two outs.

With two runners on in the fifth inning, Flaherty stole third and redshirt senior Anna Shelnutt stole second with redshirt sophomore Josie Muffley at the plate. She drove in a run to extend the lead to 4-2.

Redshirt sophomore Kathryn Sandercock entered the game in the sixth inning after Arnold issued a lead-off walk.

An error put another runner on for the Panthers before a 2 RBI-double to right field tied the game up.

Flaherty stepped to the plate with one out and smacked a double to center. Shelnutt came through with an RBI-single to left, as Flaherty scored from second to break the tie, 5-4.

Sandercock (21-1) stepped in the circle and struck out the final three batters, picking up her 21st win of the season.

Game 2 - No. 6 Florida State 14, Pitt 0

With the bases loaded in the opening frame, Flaherty hit a 2RBI- double to center, putting the Noles in front 2-0.

The Seminoles added three runs in the second inning, all with two outs. Mudge went two-for-two at the plate, smacking a double before Sherrill delivered an RBI-single to right field.

Softball Earns Two Wins at Pittsburgh.

PITTSBURGH, Pa. - The sixth-ranked Florida State softball team (38-9-1) picked up two wins against Pittsburgh (17-29) on Saturday at Vartabedian Field. The Seminoles pulled through 5-4 in Game 1 before taking Game 2, 14-0.

"I'm really excited about our fight today," FSU head coach Lonni Alameda said. "From pitch one to last pitch of a doubleheader, I thought we put it together as a team today and it was really good to see us come back after a tough game last night, knowing that Pitt is fighting to get into the ACC Tournament. It was a team day."

After going ahead 5-4 in the seventh inning in Game 1, the Seminoles got the bats going in Game 2, stringing together 14 runs on 12 hits, including two home runs from freshman Kalei Harding.

Harding smacked her fourth and fifth of the season, recording her second multi-home run game of the year.

"It was nice to get Kalei swinging it," Alameda added. "As a freshman, it's a long season, and trying to figure it out and usually you're a sophomore by this time, so to be able to separate that and get after it and free-swinging."

Redshirt freshman Devyn Flaherty paced the Noles, combining for five hits and five RBI's in eight at-bats.

Redshirt junior Syndey Sherrill is now tied for sixth place with Courtney Senas on FSU's all-time RBI's list at 158 after she drove in redshirt freshman Kaley Mudge in the second inning of game two.

Redshirt junior Danielle Watson (8-1) picked up her first shutout win of the season in Game 2, working 3.2 innings, striking out seven of the 14 batters she faced.

Game 1 - No. 6 Florida State 5, Pitt 4

Redshirt senior Caylan Arnold faced 21 batters over five innings, striking out eight. Arnold gave up three hits and three runs, all earned and also walked three batters.

Redshirt senior Dani Morgan led off the third inning with a single up the middle and was sacrificed over to second. Morgan moved to third after Sherrill grounded out to first. Harding and redshirt senior Cassidy Davis drew two-out walks for senior Elizabeth Mason.

With the count 3-1, Mason delivered a hard-hit single off the pitcher's glove, driving in two in order to go ahead 2-0.

Davis scored from second after Flaherty sent an RBI-single into left field in order to make it 3-0.

After four-straight swinging strikeouts, the Panthers cut the lead to one after a two-run home run with two outs.

With two runners on in the fifth inning, Flaherty stole third and redshirt senior Anna Shelnutt stole second with redshirt sophomore Josie Muffley at the plate. She drove in a run to extend the lead to 4-2.

Redshirt sophomore Kathryn Sandercock entered the game in the sixth inning after Arnold issued a lead-off walk.

An error put another runner on for the Panthers before a 2 RBI-double to right field tied the game up.

Flaherty stepped to the plate with one out and smacked a double to center. Shelnutt came through with an RBI-single to left, as Flaherty scored from second to break the tie, 5-4.

Sandercock (21-1) stepped in the circle and struck out the final three batters, picking up her 21st win of the season.

Game 2 - No. 6 Florida State 14, Pitt 0

With the bases loaded in the opening frame, Flaherty hit a 2RBI- double to center, putting the Noles in front 2-0.

The Seminoles added three runs in the second inning, all with two outs. Mudge went two-for-two at the plate, smacking a double before Sherrill delivered an RBI-single to right field.

Mudge finished the game with four at-bats, three hits and one RBI.

"I just think there were some really good team at-bats today," Alameda added. "Kaley Mudge getting to come in and do some great things. It's nice to see them get free and have some fun."

Harding crushed her fourth home run of the season, a two-run shot, extending the lead to 5-0.

FSU added two more in the third. Davis led off with a single and freshman D'Aun Riggs entered as a pinch-runner. Riggs stole second, her eighth of the season.

Shelnutt hit a single to right, moving Riggs to third. Riggs beat the play at the plate as Muffley reached on a fielder's choice, making it 6-0.

Shelnutt crossed home plate on an RBI-sac fly to right by Morgan in order to make it 7-0.

FSU kept the bats hot in the fourth, scoring six runs.

With the bases loaded, Flaherty delivered a 2 RBI-double, and Riggs added one more, thanks to a throwing error (9-0). Following a pitching change by Pitt, redshirt freshman Kaia LoPreste hit an RBI double.

No. 7 Softball Shuts out NC State In the ACC Tournament Quarterfinals.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - The No. 7 Florida State softball team (39-9-1) shutout NC State (26-25), 2-0, in the ACC Quarterfinal match-up Thursday afternoon.

The win marked FSU's 19th straight ACC Tournament victory and improved their record to 29-4 at the conference tournament under head coach Lonni Alameda.

No. 7 Florida State 2, NC State 0

Kathryn Sandercock started and pitched her sixth complete game of the season. She pitched a gem of a game, allowing only two hits with five strikeouts. Sandercock only faced 24 batters and threw a total of 77 pitches against the Wolfpack.

Florida State got on the board in the bottom of the second inning from a solo home run from Devyn Flaherty. It was Flaherty's fifth of the season.

In the sixth inning, The Garnet and Gold put the game out of reach with their second run of the game. Sydney Sherrill led off the inning with a double to left field. She then advanced to third after Kalei Harding grounded out to the first baseman. Three pitches later, Elizabeth Mason sent a ball to deep right field for a sacrifice fly to score Sherrill.

Scoring Summary

From Head Coach Lonni Alameda:

"It is the postseason and you can see a little bit of nerves in the beginning. We ran ourselves out of a few situations but to see Devyn get after a big swing and Kalei as a freshman swinging it is really exciting to get that win under our belt. We will have a fresh mind tomorrow and keep playing Florida State softball."

Cassidy Davis's Two Home Run Game Lifts the Noles Over the Knights.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The No. 10 Florida State softball team (41-10-1) advanced to Sunday at the Tallahassee Regional after knocking off UCF (40-18-1), 3-0, behind two Cassidy Davis home runs.

No. 10 Florida State 3, UCF 0

Caylan Arnold started and pitched 4.2 innings with three hits allowed and six strikeouts. Arnold had a no-hitter with four strikeouts through three innings.

Danielle Watson entered the game in relief in the fifth inning with two runners on. Watson then loaded the bases with a walk before getting out of the bases-loaded jam. She did not allow another batter on for the rest of her appearance as she earned one strikeout in 2.1 innings of work on the way to her first save of the season.

After being no-hit through four innings the Seminoles got the bats working in the fifth inning with two hits, including a solo home run by Cassidy Davis way over the left-field fence. She was followed up with a hit by Devyn Flaherty.

Two innings later, the Seminoles extended their lead to 3-0 with Davis's second home run of the day. Elizabeth Mason led off the seventh inning with a double down the left-field line. Two pitches later Davis launched one into the sky that went just over the straightaway center field fence.

Davis's two-home run game was the second two-home run game of her career. She now has 32 career home runs, moving her in to solo eighth place all-time at FSU.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The No. 10 Florida State softball team (42-10-1) advanced through the Tallahassee Regional with a 2-0 win over UCF (41-19-1). The Seminoles were led by an outstanding pitching performance as Kathryn Sandercock tossed her eighth complete game of the season while only allowing the Knights to get one hit. Florida State is headed to a Super Regional for the eighth straight season.

No. 10 Florida State 2, UCF 0

Kathryn Sandercock started and pitched all seven innings with eight strikeouts, while only allowing one hit. Sandercock tossed a no-hitter through 5.2 innings before Denali Schappacher tripled to right-center.

Florida State threatened in the second inning with a leadoff single by Elizabeth Mason. Devyn Flaherty then hit a double to left-center to put runners on second and third with one out, but the Seminoles could not convert.

Two innings later, the Garnet and Gold got the offense rolling. Mason once again led off the inning with a hit, this time a double down the left-field line. Cassidy Davis followed that up with a first-pitch double to right-center, advancing Mason to third. Flaherty earned her second hit of the day to drive in the game's first run on a single to right-center.

With two outs in the fourth inning, Dani Morgan extended the FSU lead to two after hitting a ground ball to second base. Flaherty beat the throw home, putting the game out of reach.

Sandercock and Stellar Defense Lead Seminoles to Super Regional Victory.

BATON ROUGE, La. - The No. 10 Florida State softball team (43-10-1) defeated No. 7 LSU (35-21) 1-0 in a pitchers dual led by Kathryn Sandercock and the FSU defense.

No. 10 FSU 1, No. 7 LSU 0

Kathryn Sandercock pitched her ninth complete game and second in a row as she only allowed two hits and no runs with two strikeouts. Sandercock faced the minimum through three innings before allowing her first hit in the fourth.

Florida State had four hits through five innings but it was not until the sixth that the Seminole offense got on the board. Sydney Sherrill led off the sixth with a single through the right side on a 1-2 count. Kalei Harding singled to centerfield putting runners on the corners with no outs for Cassidy Davis.

Davis sent one to right field just deep enough to score Sherrill from third for a sacrifice fly and Davis's 27th RBI of the year.

The one run was all the Seminoles needed as they shut out the Tigers on their own field.

Florida State Walks Off Arizona in Dramatic Fashion.

OKLAHOMA CITY, OK. - The No. 10 Florida State softball team (45-11-1) earned a 4-3 win over Arizona (41-15) in dramatic fashion. The Seminoles trailed after five innings but a three-run home run by Dani Morgan in the sixth and a Cassidy Davis sacrifice fly in the seventh secured a 4-3 come from behind victory over the Wildcats.

No. 10 FSU 4, No. 11 Arizona 3

Caylan Arnold started in the circle for the Seminoles and pitched 3.1 innings, with three strikeouts. She got the first seven batters out in order before Arizona hit a solo home run in the third inning. Arnold then loaded the bases in the fourth before Kathryn Sandercock entered the game to pitch with one out.

Sandercock only allowed the Wildcats to score one run in the fourth inning as she struck out the last batter of the fourth.

The Seminoles loaded the bases in the fourth inning but could not convert as they trailed by two.

Arizona loaded the bases once again with one out in the fifth inning. Sandercock came up clutch, forcing two infield outs to keep the score at 2-0. She then made quick work of the Wildcats in the sixth by striking out the side.

The Seminole offense showed up in the sixth inning, scoring three runs, giving FSU their first lead of the Women's College World Series. With one out, Cassidy Davis walked. Devyn Flaherty was then hit by a pitch. With two outs, Dani Morgan stepped up to the plate and sent a bomb to left field, giving the Garnet and Gold a 3-2 lead. This lead change was the first lead change of the 2021 WCWS and the first lead change in the last 22 games in OKC.

Arizona scored a run in the top of the seventh to tie the game at three. This did not phase the Noles as Kaley Mudge led off the seventh with a single through the right side. With one out, Elizabeth Mason reached on a fielder's choice and Mudge advanced to third on a throwing error. Cassidy Davis stepped up to the dish with one out and did all she needed to, sending a ball to deep left field for a sacrifice fly and a walk-off win.

Bats Come Alive As the Seminoles Advance to the Championship Series.

OKLAHOMA CITY, OK. - The No. 10 Florida State softball team (48-11-1) advanced to the championship series for just the second time in program history after defeating No. 3 Alabama (52-9) 8-5.

The Seminoles have now won their last eight Women's College World Series elimination games. The eight straight elimination wins ties the WCWS record that was set by UCLA from 1984-87 and 1988-91.

Florida State was led by Kaley Mudge, who went a perfect five for five with two runs and two RBI. Her five hits tied a WCWS record for the most hits in a game and it the first to do it in just seven innings.

No. 10 FSU 8, No. 3 Alabama 5

The Seminoles pitched three pitchers against Alabama with Kathryn Sandercock starting in the circle for the Noles. She pitched the first three innings, allowing two runs on five hits with two strikeouts. Caylan Arnold came in during the fourth inning and allowed two hits and two runs. Danielle Watson finished off the Crimson Tide, pitching the final 2.2 innings while only allowing one run and two hits. Watson earned her 11th win of the season.

Montana Fouts entered the game recording 22 straight outs, but the Seminoles scored three runs before she could even record her first out of the game. Kaley Mudge led off the game with a single up the middle, Sydney Sherrill then walked to put runners on first and second with no outs for Elizabeth Mason. Mason loaded up and sent a bomb halfway up the outfield bleachers to give the Noles a quick 3-0 advantage.

The Noles extended their lead to four in the second inning. Josie Muffley led off with a walk, three pitches later the Garnet and Gold had runners on the corners after Anna Shelnutt reached on a fielder's choice and an error allowed Muffley to reach third. Mudge then put down a perfect bunt back to the pitcher, scoring Muffley from third.

Florida State extended its lead to eight in the top of the third inning. After back-to-back singles and a sacrifice bunt, Kalei Harding singled through the left side, scoring Devyn Flaherty and Dani Morgan. Mudge then singled up the middle, scoring Harding. Mudge scored the fourth run of the inning for the Noles after Sydney Sherrill doubled to left field.

Alabama got two runs back in the bottom of the third on four hits. Bailey Hemphill singled to right field, scoring Taylor Clark and Kaylee Tow singled to second base, scoring Elissa Brown.

The Crimson Tide narrowed the lead to three after five innings. They earned three runs after a Bailey Hemphill two-run home run to left field and a Savannah Woodard single up the middle, scoring Jenna Johnson.

The Florida State defense tightened up in the last two innings as they got six of the last seven batters of the game out to secure the Seminoles' second trip to the WCWS championship series.

No. 10 FSU 8, No. 1 Oklahoma 4

Danielle Watson started for the Seminoles, making her first start since Pittsburgh on May 8. Watson retired the first 11 batters of the game before allowing back-to-back home runs. In total, Watson pitched 5.2 innings with five strikeouts while allowing four runs on her way to her 12th win this season.

Kathryn Sandercock entered in relief with two outs in the sixth inning, she allowed just two hits and no runs in 1.1 innings of work, recording her second save of the season.

After a pair of scoreless innings to start the game, the Seminoles put up two runs in the top of the third inning. Anna Shelnutt led off the inning with a nine-pitch walk. Three pitches later, Kalei Harding sent one deep to left field giving the Noles a 2-0 lead.

The Seminole bats exploded in the fourth inning. FSU scored five runs on six hits and an Oklahoma error. All five runs came with two outs. After a single and a walk, runners were on the corners for Harding who doubled to right center, clearing the bases. Kaley Mudge then singled up the middle, putting runners on the corners, this time for Sydney Sherrill. Sherrill singled to right field giving the Seminoles a 6-0 lead. Elizabeth Mason added the fifth run of the inning and seventh of the game, scoring Mudge on a single through the left side.

Oklahoma rebounded in the bottom of the fourth with back-to-back two-out solo home runs from Kinzie Hansen and Nicole Mendes.

The Sooners narrowed the Seminole lead to three in the sixth with two more runs. After a single and a hit batter, Mackenzie Donihoo singled to right field, scoring Nicole Mendes and Rylie Boone.

Softball To Winner Take All Game On Thursday.

by Chuck Walsh

OKLAHOMA CITY, Ok. - Oklahoma scored four runs on five hits in the sixth inning - two on a home run by Jocelyn Alo - and defeated Florida State by a 6-2 score in the second game of the championship series in the Women's College World Series at ASA Hall of Fame Stadium. The Sooners' victory sets up a winner-take-all game for the National Championship on Thursday.

Sooner pitcher Giselle Juarez limited Florida State's offense to two runs on four hits and improved her record to 22-1. The redshirt senior struck out six Seminoles and didn't allow a run after the first inning in leading the Sooners from the circle. Juarez limited the Seminoles to two hits over the final six innings after Florida State took an early 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning.

Elizabeth Mason gave the Seminoles the first lead of the game at 2-0 with a home run to left center in the bottom of the first. Her home run scored Sydney Sherrill who reached base on an infield single. Mason's home run was her second of the WCWS; she also homered in Florida State's 8-5 win over Alabama on June 7.

In taking the lead in the first inning, it marked the fifth straight game Florida State had scored first.

Florida State, which scored eight runs on 11 hits in winning the first game of the best two-of-three championship series, had four players earn one hit each in Wednesday's game two. After Mason's home run in the first inning, the Seminoles managed to get only one runner as far as second base during the remainder of the game.

Florida State starter Kathryn Sandercock held the nation's highest scoring offense to more than four runs under its scoring average as she suffered only her fourth loss of the season. Her record is now 27-4. Sandercock allowed five runs on seven hits while striking out two. Relief pitchers Caylan Arnold and Emma Wilson allowed a combined one run on four hits in 2.0 innings of work.

Oklahoma sent 10 batters to the plate in scoring four runs in the sixth inning. The Sooners totaled four runs on five hits with one Seminole error in taking the lead against Florida State for the first time in the first two games of the championship series.

Florida State's Kaley Mudge was held hitless in three plate appearances and enters Thursday's game with a WCWS record-tying 13 hits. Among the players she is tied with is former Seminole great Jessie Warren who totaled 13 hits when Florida State won the 2018 NCAA Championship.

With her two RBI on her first inning home run, Mason has six RBI in the 2021 WCWS, including three in a win over Alabama which sent the Seminoles to the championship series.

Softball Ends Insiring Women's College World Series Run

by Stephen Stone

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. - The No. 10-nationally seeded Florida State Softball team fell to top-seeded Oklahoma, 5-1, in the pivotal winner-takes-all third game of the Women's College World Series on Thursday afternoon at USA Softball Hall of Fame Stadium in Oklahoma City.

The loss ends the careers of four WCWS-winning champions from 2018 in seniors Cassidy Davis, Anna Shelnutt, Dani Morgan and Elizabeth Mason. The four veterans guided the Seminoles to unprecedented success, including two appearances in the championship series, along with Sydney Sherrill who is eligible to return.

The high-octane Oklahoma (56-4) bats finally struck early in the contest, this time making the Seminoles (49-13-1) play from behind after FSU got off to strong starts in game one and two. The Sooners scored in each of their first three innings, including a three-run third that made the comeback that much tougher for the Seminoles.

While no strangers to visiting Oklahoma City under the guidance of head coach Lonni Alameda, the Seminoles' emphasis on manufacturing runs, timely hits, sound base-running and using a large dispersal of pitchers made them a quality watch in OKC. They nearly followed the same script from their last trip to the WCWS in 2018, falling in its opening-round game and overcoming several elimination contests.

Oklahoma's Giselle Juarez (23-1) earned the WCWS-clinching victory in the circle, throwing a complete-game two-hitter. FSU's Danielle Watson (12-2), who had the impressive Game 1 win, took the loss.

Seminole ace Kathryn Sandercock kept Oklahoma in check in relief, allowing just one hit in 3.1 innings pitched. She retired 10 of her 11 batters faced.

Kaley Mudge's leadoff double to centerfield in the top of the first marked her record-setting 14th base hit in the Women's College World Series. The Noles were unable to capitalize, however, as two shallow pop-ups and a strikeout ended their at-bat.

Mudge would finish 1-of-3 while Sherrill had FSU's other base hit and also went 1-of-3 with a double.

The Sooners and their high-powered offense responded in the bottom half when Jocelyn Alo hit a 2-2 offering over the left wall for a solo home run and a 1-0 OU lead. In the second inning, they followed with another solo shot as Jayda Coleman hit an opposite field blast to create a 2-0 advantage for the Sooners.

The Noles got their first run across the plate on a two-out sun-ball double by Sherril in the third. She skied a pop-up that second baseman Tiare Jennings lost in the air, allowing Kalei Harding to score from second base to cut the FSU deficit to 2-1.

OU tacked on three more runs in the bottom of the third thanks to a wild pitch by FSU and a two-run double by Coleman to make it 5-1 Sooners. Sandercock entered the game with two outs in that third inning and induced a groundout, then followed with FSU's first 1-2-3 defensive inning in the fourth.

FSU's tremendous run came to an end in the top of the seventh, although Shellnutt finished her Seminole career with a walk before an FSU pop-up ended the game.

Mudge and Sandercock were named to the 12-member WCWS All-Tournament Team. OU's Juarez collected the tournament's most outstanding player.
