Florida State Drops Opening Game to Charlotte.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The fourth-ranked Florida State softball team (0-1) fell to Charlotte (1-0) 6-5 after 10 innings in the season opener at Seminole Softball Complex.

Charlotte began the game with two extra base hits in the first inning to take the early lead but the Seminoles didn't wait long to respond. Leading off the top of the second, Amaya Ross worked the pitcher to a full count before drawing a walk. She stole second and up to the plate was Jaysoni Beachum for her first collegiate at-bat. Beachum made a quality first impression as she laid a single into center field, and Ross bolted for home plate for the first run of the season to tie the game up.

The lineup kept rolling as freshman Isa Torres found herself at third base after a single and moving along the base path while Kaley Mudge earned a walk to put runners at the corners. Leadoff hitter Jahni Kerr launched a ball into the left field wall and sent the two runners home to take a 3-1 lead.

Charlotte countered by loading the bases and used a single and a wild pitch to even the score up at 3-3 in the middle of the fifth.

Florida State went right back to work as Michaela Edenfield made it to first on a fielder's choice before last season's leader in doubles, Kalei Harding, hit a deep double into left that Edenfield used to sprint all the way home from first to regain the lead.

Devyn Flaherty followed suit and belted a triple through center field to send Harding home and gave the Seminoles a 5-3 lead. The 49ers hit a solo home run over center field to bring the score within one and tied the game off a bases loaded walk in the top of the seventh.

The game went into extra innings, Florida State's first opening game to go into extra frames since the 2012 walk off winner against Stephen F. Austin. The Seminoles nearly had the winning run when Kaley Mudge appeared to beat out the tag at first to allow Annie Potter to score but after review, Mudge was called out at first.

Emma Wilson made her first start in the circle since May 6, 2022, and worked through 3.0 innings before Makenna Reid took the reins and laced four strikeouts in 2.0 innings. Ashtyn Danley came in to make her collegiate debut before Wilson came back in the game and finished with a career high 6.2 innings pitched.

Harding's Record Night Leads No. 4 Softball Past Charlotte.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Kalei Harding's record night of seven RBI helped the No. 4 Florida State softball team (1-1) to a convincing 11-0 win in five innings over Charlotte (1-1) on Friday night at JoAnne Graf Field.

The Seminoles opened up the scoring early at the bottom of the first inning. Jahni Kerr drew a leadoff walk to proceed to first. Michaela Edenfield drove one deep to center field for a single to move Kerr to third. Kalei Harding came to bat and smashed a three-run home run to center field to make the score 3-0.

After opening the second inning with a triple by error, Seminole pitcher Allison Royalty responded by throwing two strikeouts in a row, with the top half of the inning being closed out by a fly out to center field.

The Seminoles came in at the bottom of the second inning with Jaysoni Beachum hitting a single to center field, who advanced to second on a wild pitch. Beachum advanced to third on an Ashtyn Danley groundout, and Kerr came in and smacked a single RBI to right field to drive Beachum in, making the score 4-0 to close out the inning.

Amaya Ross drew a walk in the fourth inning and immediately stole second to put her in scoring position. Katie Dack continued her solid start to the season with a single to bring Ross home to make the score 5-0.

Isa Torres kicked the Seminoles off again in the fourth inning with a line drive single to left field. Kerr proceeded to draw the walk, moving Torres to second. Edenfield snuck a single toward third base to load the bases. Harding then came in and soared the ball over the fence for the first grand slam of the year and her second home run of the night, extending the lead to 9-0. Harding's seven RBI was tied for the most in school history joining Anna Shelnutt who hit seven RBI on May 11, 2017, against Virginia in the ACC Tournament. Harding had her sixth multi-home run game of her career and also surpassed 150 career RBI.

The Seminoles continued the scoring as Devyn Flaherty came in and was able to draw a walk. Amaya Ross hit a quick ground ball single toward third base, advancing Flaherty to second. Beachum hit a single RBI to center field to bring Flaherty home and advance Ross to third, putting the Noles up 10-0. Torres continued to onslaught as she hit a double RBI deep to centerfield, pushing the score to 11-0, to wrap up the fourth inning and the game. The freshman duo of Torres and Beachum are a combined 8-for-15 with three RBI in the Seminoles' first two games.

Royalty was phenomenal in the circle for the Noles going four innings and allowing just three hits while striking out five, her second-most strikeouts as a Seminole. Mimi Gooden made her first career appearance in the fifth inning and sat the 49ers down in order to end the game.

Torres Walks Off Texas Tech; Noles Dominate FAMU for 2-0 at JoAnne Graf Classic.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The No 4 Florida State softball team (3-1) used a walk-off single from freshman Isa Torres to take down Texas Tech (2-2), 9-8, then cruised past Florida A&M (0-3), 9-0 in five innings to finish Saturday 2-0 at the JoAnne Graf Classic.

Game One vs. Texas Tech

Texas Tech came out swinging and scored two runs in the first inning on three hits to take the early lead.

After a standstill for two-and-a-half innings, the Seminoles answered with two runs in the bottom of the third. Jaysoni Beachum singled, and Isa Torres walked put runners on first and second. Ashtyn Danley moved the runners to second and third on a groundout, and Jahni Kerr brought Beachum home on an infield single to cut the lead to one. The Seminoles then sent Kerr on the move to steal second, and Torres scampered home on the throw to tie the game.

Texas Tech answered with a home run in the top of the fourth, but the Seminoles answered right back as Amaya Ross hit just her second home run in the past two seasons to tie the game. The scoring continued for the Seminoles as Beachum drew a walk and Danley reached on an error putting two on for Kerr. Kerr crushed a home run to give the Seminoles a 6-3 lead.

The Red Raiders stormed back with five runs in the top of the fifth to take an 8-6 lead.

Ross continued her strong outing with a one-out triple, and Beachum earned the RBI on a groundout to cut the lead to one.

Allison Royalty kept the Red Raiders in check to give the Seminoles a shot in the bottom of the seventh inning. Walks by Beachum and Wacaser and a Devyn Flaherty single loaded the bases for Torres with two outs. The freshman delivered with a groundball that snuck past the shortstop to bring Flaherty and Wacaser home to give the Seminoles the win.

Game Two vs. Florida A&M

The Seminoles opened the scoring early in the bottom of the first inning. Kerr singled to right field and advanced to second on a wild pitch. Torres then singled to shortstop, which helped Kerr advance to third. Kalei Harding hit a single and advanced to second on the throw, allowing Kerr to add the first run to the board.

Michaela Edenfield followed that with a three-run home run on an 0-2 count to bring the score to 4-0 at the end of the first inning.

After a scoreless second inning, Ross drew a leadoff walk, and Beachum crushed her first collegiate home run to give the Noles a 6-0 lead. Wacaser kept the momentum going with a single, and after stealing second, Kerr picked up another RBI to make the score 7-0 after three innings.

Still in the third, Hallie Wacaser hit a single to right field and stole second. Wacaser then reached home off a Kerr single to center field bringing the score to 7-0 at the end of the third.

In the fourth inning, Angelee Bueno and Katie Dack drew back-to-back walks, and after Wacaser reached on a fielders choice, Kaley Mudge drove both runners home to give the Noles a 9-0 lead.

Freshman Mimi Gooden made her first career start in the circle and was terrific posting a complete game shutout. Gooden pitched all five innings while allowing just three hits and striking out four.

Torres Walks Off Texas Tech; Noles Dominate FAMU for 2-0 at JoAnne Graf Classic.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The No 4 Florida State softball team (3-1) used a walk-off single from freshman Isa Torres to take down Texas Tech (2-2), 9-8, then cruised past Florida A&M (0-3), 9-0 in five innings to finish Saturday 2-0 at the JoAnne Graf Classic.

Game One vs. Texas Tech

Texas Tech came out swinging and scored two runs in the first inning on three hits to take the early lead.

After a standstill for two-and-a-half innings, the Seminoles answered with two runs in the bottom of the third. Jaysoni Beachum singled, and Isa Torres walked put runners on first and second. Ashtyn Danley moved the runners to second and third on a groundout, and Jahni Kerr brought Beachum home on an infield single to cut the lead to one. The Seminoles then sent Kerr on the move to steal second, and Torres scampered home on the throw to tie the game.

Texas Tech answered with a home run in the top of the fourth, but the Seminoles answered right back as Amaya Ross hit just her second home run in the past two seasons to tie the game. The scoring continued for the Seminoles as Beachum drew a walk and Danley reached on an error putting two on for Kerr. Kerr crushed a home run to give the Seminoles a 6-3 lead.

The Red Raiders stormed back with five runs in the top of the fifth to take an 8-6 lead.

Ross continued her strong outing with a one-out triple, and Beachum earned the RBI on a groundout to cut the lead to one.

Allison Royalty kept the Red Raiders in check to give the Seminoles a shot in the bottom of the seventh inning. Walks by Beachum and Wacaser and a Devyn Flaherty single loaded the bases for Torres with two outs. The freshman delivered with a groundball that snuck past the shortstop to bring Flaherty and Wacaser home to give the Seminoles the win.

Game Two vs. Florida A&M

The Seminoles opened the scoring early in the bottom of the first inning. Kerr singled to right field and advanced to second on a wild pitch. Torres then singled to shortstop, which helped Kerr advance to third. Kalei Harding hit a single and advanced to second on the throw, allowing Kerr to add the first run to the board.

Michaela Edenfield followed that with a three-run home run on an 0-2 count to bring the score to 4-0 at the end of the first inning.

After a scoreless second inning, Ross drew a leadoff walk, and Beachum crushed her first collegiate home run to give the Noles a 6-0 lead. Wacaser kept the momentum going with a single, and after stealing second, Kerr picked up another RBI to make the score 7-0 after three innings.

Still in the third, Hallie Wacaser hit a single to right field and stole second. Wacaser then reached home off a Kerr single to center field bringing the score to 7-0 at the end of the third.

In the fourth inning, Angelee Bueno and Katie Dack drew back-to-back walks, and after Wacaser reached on a fielders choice, Kaley Mudge drove both runners home to give the Noles a 9-0 lead.

Freshman Mimi Gooden made her first career start in the circle and was terrific posting a complete game shutout. Gooden pitched all five innings while allowing just three hits and striking out four.

No. 5 Softball Shuts Out No. 9 Stanford in First Game of Clearwater Invitational.

CLEARWATER, Fla. - A pitching and defensive masterpiece plus some aggressive base running led No. 5 Florida State Softball (5-1) to a 4-0 win over No. 9 Stanford (4-3) on Thursday evening at the Eddie C. Moore Complex in Clearwater, Fla.

Allison Royalty got the start for the Noles and was terrific as she pitched five scoreless innings while allowing just four hits while striking out three. Royalty found herself in some trouble in the top of the third inning as back-to-back walks and a single loaded the bases for the Cardinal with zero outs. Royalty forced a ground ball to Devyn Flaherty at second who fired it home for the force out. Royalty struck out the next batter and forced a groundout to end the inning unharmed.

The Cardinal were able to get runners on second and third with two outs in the fourth inning, but freshman shortstop Isa Torres made a leaping catch on a line drive to save two runs and end the inning.

After four scoreless innings, the Seminoles finally broke through in the fifth inning with three runs. Torres began the inning with an infield single then Jaysoni Beachum drew a walk to put two runners on with no outs. A passed ball allowed the runners to advance to second and third. Jahni Kerr hit a fly ball just deep enough in right field to allow Torres to score. Kaley Mudge reached on an error bring home Beachum to give the Noles a 2-0 lead. Coming in to pinch run for Mudge, Autumn Belviy immediately stole second. On a 2-2 count, Belviy went to steal third, and the throw was high allowing Belviy to score.

Flaherty began the sixth inning by laying down a great bunt down the third base line to reach first. Flaherty advanced to second on a groundout then scampered to third then to home on back-to-back wild pitches to extend the lead to 4-0.

Ashtyn Danley entered the circle in the sixth inning and allowed the leadoff runner to reach base in both the sixth and seventh innings, but she retired the following three batters in both innings to secure the win for the Noles. Danley was credited with her first career save.

Softball's Comeback Falls Short Against UCLA.

CLEARWATER, Fla. - The No. 5 Florida State softball team (5-2) fell just short of completing one of the biggest comebacks in school history as they fell to No. 20 UCLA (3-3), 14-10, in a crazy game on Friday afternoon at the Clearwater Invitational in Clearwater, Fla.

The Seminoles wasted no time getting the bats going as Jahni Kerr led off the game with a double before Kalei Harding switched spots with her just two batters later to give the Noles a 1-0 lead. Freshman Jaysoni Beachum continued her terrific season with an RBI single to bring home Harding and give the Noles a 2-0 lead after the top of the first.

Ashtyn Danley got the start in the circle and worked herself out of a bases loaded jam in the bottom of the first by recording back-to-back strikeouts to get out of the inning.

The Seminole offense stalled in the next three innings, but Danley continued to contain the Bruins' lineup to keep the 2-0 lead for the Noles after three innings. UCLA was able to score four in the bottom of the fourth, but FSU immediately answered with back-to-back home runs from Michaela Edenfield and Hallie Wacaser to tie the game at four. Edenfield and Wacaser hit the first back-to-back home runs since Sydney Sherrill and Kalei Harding on May 7, 2022, against NC State. Amaya Ross stepped in the box and was hit. She immediately stole second, and Kaley Mudge singled up the middle to bring Ross home to give FSU the lead back.

UCLA responded in the bottom of the fourth with eight runs of their own. Down seven, FSU began to slowly chip away in the fifth inning as back-to-back singles from Harding and Beachum and a walk loaded the bases for the Noles. Two walks and a fielder's choice put three runs on the board with just one out. With runners on the corners, Ross stole second, and Edenfield advanced home on the throw to cut the lead to three.

Mimi Gooden came in and held UCLA scoreless in the bottom of the fifth give the Seminoles more life to complete the comeback. Three consecutive singles from Isa Torres, Harding and Beachum allowed the Noles to cut the lead to two. Devyn Flaherty was hit by a pitch, and the Noles were in prime position to tie or take the lead with the bases loaded and one out, but UCLA converted the double play to end the inning.

The Bruins added insurance with a two-run home run in the bottom of the sixth to take a 14-10 lead into the final inning. FSU had one final chance with the bases loaded in the top of the seventh inning but were unable to convert.

Both Harding and Beachum had great days at the plate as Harding went 4-for-5 with a RBI while Beachum went 3-for-5 with two RBI.

FSU Falls to Georgia.

CLEARWATER, Fla. - The No. 5 Florida State softball team (5-3) fell to No. 4 Georgia by a score of 20-10 on Saturday morning at the Clearwater Invitational.

No. 11 Seminoles Pick Up Two Convincing Wins Over Charleston Southern.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The No. 11 Florida State softball team (9-3) picked up two convincing wins over Charleston Southern (6-6) on Friday in a doubleheader in the Dugout Club Classic at JoAnne Graf Field. FSU defeated the Buccaneers 9-2 in game one and 9-1 in six innings in game two.

Game One

The Seminoles used a seven-run fourth inning and a complete pitching performance from Mimi Gooden and Emma Wilson to rout the Buccaneers 9-2 in game one on Friday.

The Buccaneers took advantage of an error and two passed balls in the first inning to put a run on the board. FSU tied it up in the bottom of the second as Amaya Ross earned a walk and beat out the throw at second on a fielder's choice. Michaela Edenfield then grounded out to third, and Ross put on the gas and went from second to home to tie the game.

After a scoreless third inning, Jaysoni Beachum got things started in the bottom of the fourth inning. Ross then hit her third triple in the last three games to bring Beachum home to regain the lead for the Noles. Ross would score when Flaherty reached on an error, and Edenfield walked to put two runners on for Hallie Wacaser. She delivered with a three-run home run, her second home run in as many games. Kaley Mudge was hit by a pitch and was relieved on the base paths by Autumn Belviy. Jahni Kerr hit a double in the left center gap to score Belviy, and Isa Torres immediately brought home Kerr on a single through the right side to give the Noles seven runs in the inning before an out was recorded.

Emma Wilson relieved Gooden in the fourth inning and got herself out of a bases loaded jam in the top of the fifth thanks to a great play from Annie Potter at shortstop that saved a couple of runs.

Makenna Reid came in in the sixth inning and closed the deal striking out three out of the six batters she faced.

Game Two

The second game of the day saw a similar path as game one with the Buccaneers jumping out to an early 1-0 lead in the top of the second, but Ross once again got the rally started with a walk and immediately stole second and advanced to third on the high throw. Ross eventually scored on an infield single from Ashtyn Danley who picked up her first career RBI to tie the game after the second inning.

Danley returned to the circle and began to settle in as she retired seven consecutive batters before Allison Royalty came in on relief duty in the fifth inning.

The offense came through with three runs in both the third and fourth innings. Torres led off the bottom of the third inning with a double, and Ross delivered again with a two-out double to bring Torres home. Just two pitches later, Edenfield hit her third home run in as many games to give the Noles a 4-1 lead after the third inning.

Torres got the Noles going again in the bottom of the fourth inning with a walk, and a Kalei Harding single put runners on the corners for Jaysoni Beachum, and she delivered with a single to score Torres. Ross recorded another hit to load the bases, and Wacaser dropped one in shallow left field to score two more for the Noles. Wacaser picked up another RBI on in the bottom of the sixth on a sacrifice fly, and Krystina Hartley put a ball in play to score Ross to end the game early.

Ross once again led the Noles and continues one of her best weeks of her career and is 8-for-9 in the Dugout Club Classic with five RBI, three triples, one home run, four walks and a perfect 3-for-3 on the base paths. In total, Ross has been involved in 15 out of the Seminoles 34 runs (44%) in the Dugout Club Classic.

Danely improved to 2-0 in the circle this season after giving up just two hits and one earned run while recording three strikeouts in four innings.

No. 11 Seminoles Pick Up Two Convincing Wins Over Charleston Southern.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The No. 11 Florida State softball team (9-3) picked up two convincing wins over Charleston Southern (6-6) on Friday in a doubleheader in the Dugout Club Classic at JoAnne Graf Field. FSU defeated the Buccaneers 9-2 in game one and 9-1 in six innings in game two.

Game One

The Seminoles used a seven-run fourth inning and a complete pitching performance from Mimi Gooden and Emma Wilson to rout the Buccaneers 9-2 in game one on Friday.

The Buccaneers took advantage of an error and two passed balls in the first inning to put a run on the board. FSU tied it up in the bottom of the second as Amaya Ross earned a walk and beat out the throw at second on a fielder's choice. Michaela Edenfield then grounded out to third, and Ross put on the gas and went from second to home to tie the game.

After a scoreless third inning, Jaysoni Beachum got things started in the bottom of the fourth inning. Ross then hit her third triple in the last three games to bring Beachum home to regain the lead for the Noles. Ross would score when Flaherty reached on an error, and Edenfield walked to put two runners on for Hallie Wacaser. She delivered with a three-run home run, her second home run in as many games. Kaley Mudge was hit by a pitch and was relieved on the base paths by Autumn Belviy. Jahni Kerr hit a double in the left center gap to score Belviy, and Isa Torres immediately brought home Kerr on a single through the right side to give the Noles seven runs in the inning before an out was recorded.

Emma Wilson relieved Gooden in the fourth inning and got herself out of a bases loaded jam in the top of the fifth thanks to a great play from Annie Potter at shortstop that saved a couple of runs.

Makenna Reid came in in the sixth inning and closed the deal striking out three out of the six batters she faced.

Game Two

The second game of the day saw a similar path as game one with the Buccaneers jumping out to an early 1-0 lead in the top of the second, but Ross once again got the rally started with a walk and immediately stole second and advanced to third on the high throw. Ross eventually scored on an infield single from Ashtyn Danley who picked up her first career RBI to tie the game after the second inning.

Danley returned to the circle and began to settle in as she retired seven consecutive batters before Allison Royalty came in on relief duty in the fifth inning.

The offense came through with three runs in both the third and fourth innings. Torres led off the bottom of the third inning with a double, and Ross delivered again with a two-out double to bring Torres home. Just two pitches later, Edenfield hit her third home run in as many games to give the Noles a 4-1 lead after the third inning.

Torres got the Noles going again in the bottom of the fourth inning with a walk, and a Kalei Harding single put runners on the corners for Jaysoni Beachum, and she delivered with a single to score Torres. Ross recorded another hit to load the bases, and Wacaser dropped one in shallow left field to score two more for the Noles. Wacaser picked up another RBI on in the bottom of the sixth on a sacrifice fly, and Krystina Hartley put a ball in play to score Ross to end the game early.

Ross once again led the Noles and continues one of her best weeks of her career and is 8-for-9 in the Dugout Club Classic with five RBI, three triples, one home run, four walks and a perfect 3-for-3 on the base paths. In total, Ross has been involved in 15 out of the Seminoles 34 runs (44%) in the Dugout Club Classic.

Danely improved to 2-0 in the circle this season after giving up just two hits and one earned run while recording three strikeouts in four innings.

Softball Finishes the Week 6-0 With Two Wins Over Nicholls.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The No. 11 Florida State softball team (11-3) used a walk-off single from Michaela Edenfield in a come-from-behind win to defeat Nicholls 5-4 in game one and cruised to an 8-0 victory in five innings in game two to finish the Dugout Club Classic with a 6-0 record.

Game One

The Seminoles used some late game heroics to prevail in game one after trailing in three separate occasion to defeat the pesky Colonels 5-4.

Nicholls struck first with a solo home run in the top of the first, but FSU responded as the freshman duo of Isa Torres and Jaysoni Beachum got the scoring going for the Seminoles. Torres led off the inning with a single and advanced to third on back-to-back groundouts. Beachum stepped up and delivered a two-out double to score Torres to tie the game at one.

Nicholls hit a two-run home run in the top of the third to retake the lead, but Makenna Reid responded by sitting down seven consecutive batters to keep the Colonels in check to give the offense a chance. The offense delivered in the bottom of the fifth as Jahni Kerr led off the inning with a single. Kalei Harding reached on a fielder's choice, but throw to get Kerr out at second sailed high allowing Kerr to advance to third to put runners on the corners. Beachum struck again with a single to pick up her second RBI of the game to bring the Noles within one. Back-to-back two-out walks from Edenfield and Devyn Flaherty tied the game after five innings.

After a scoreless sixth inning, Nicholls hit their third home run of the game to take a 4-3 lead into the bottom of the seventh inning.

Beachum reached on an error and was replaced on the base paths by Annie Potter who stole second and advanced to third on a wild pitch to put her 60 feet away with one out. Hallie Wacaser continued her dominant week with a double to left field to score Potter. Edenfield then stepped in the box and took the 1-2 pitch into right field to end the game for her first walk-off of her career.

Makenna Reid (5.1 innings) and Allison Royalty (1.2 innings) combined to allow just five hits while recording five strikeouts. Royalty was credited with the win to improve to 4-1 on the year.

Game Two

It was the Jaysoni Beachum show in game two as the freshman hit two home runs and went 3-for-3 to lead the Seminoles to an 8-0 win in five innings.

Beachum started the scoring in the second inning with a solo home run that just snuck in the left foul pole to put the Noles up 1-0.

Amaya Ross kept the inning going for the Noles with a single up the middle then stole her 11th base of the year to move to second. She advanced to third on a groundout then Katie Dack singled through the right side to bring her home to give the Noles a 2-0 lead.

Kalei Harding was hit by a pitch in the bottom of the third to put a runner on base for the Noles and back-to-back singles from Beachum and Wacaser allowed Harding to score to make it 3-0. Ross earned another RBI on a fielder's choice to give FSU a comfortable 4-0 lead after three innings.

A pair of freshmen shined again in the bottom of the fourth inning as Torres hit a double down the left field line, and Kennedy Harp picked up her first career RBI on a triple to make it 5-0.

Beachum led off the bottom of the fifth inning with her second solo home run of the night, and after Ross recorded an infield single, Edenfield stepped in and launched her sixth home run of the season to end the game in walk-off fashion.

Allison Royalty earned the start in game two and was phenomenal as she threw a shutout while allowing just two hits while striking out four.

FSU Hits Five Home Runs in 8-3 Win Over Purdue.

FORT MYERS, Fla. - The No. 16 Florida State softball team (12-4) hit four home runs in the first inning and five home runs total to take down Purdue (10-9), 7-3, in the Seminoles' first game of the FGCU Spring Break Classic on Friday afternoon at the FGCU Softball Complex in Fort Myers, Florida.

After finding themselves in a 3-0 hole after the top of the first inning, the Seminole offense exploded in the bottom half of the inning as Jaysoni Beachum and Kalei Harding hit back-to-back home runs to instantly cut the lead to one. Michaela Edenfield reached on an error, and Isa Torres stepped in with two outs and blasted her second home run of the season over the right field fence to give the Noles the 4-3 lead. Hallie Wacaser then hit a solo home run to give the Noles a 5-3 lead after the first inning.

FSU's four home runs in the inning tied a school record for most home runs in an inning. The Seminoles hit four home runs against USF in the 2019 Tallahassee Regional.

The Seminoles added another run in the third inning as Amaya Ross led off the inning with an infield single and immediately stole second. Torres laid down a great bunt that forced a throwing error from the Boilermakers which allowed Ross to score.

Wacaser picked up her second home run of the game in the fifth inning to extend the Seminoles lead to 7-3. It was Wacaser's third home run of the season and her second career multi-home run game. FSU's five home runs in a game was the most since May 8, 2022, when the Seminoles hit seven home runs against NC State.

Edenfield added one more run in the bottom of sixth as she singled down the left field line to score Beachum.

FSU's pitchers settled in after the first inning as Ashtyn Danley and Makenna Reid combined to allow just one hit in the final six innings. Danley picked up the win to improve to 3-0 this year.

Softball Goes 2-0 With Wins Over Purdue and Western Michigan.

FORT MYERS, Fla. - The No. 16 Florida State softball team (14-5) picked up two wins over Purdue and Western Michigan on Saturday at the FGCU Spring Break Classic in Fort Myers, Florida. FSU defeated the Boilermakers 15-9 in game one and took down the Broncos 6-2 in game two.

Game One vs. Purdue

FSU needed their largest comeback in four years to take down the Boilermakers in a game that saw 24 combined runs between the two teams. As the designated road team, the Seminoles took the batter's box first and Jaysoni Beachum hit her fifth home run in six games to put the Noles up 1-0 in the top of the first. Much like yesterday's game between the two teams, the Boilermakers put up a crooked number in the first and took a 6-1 lead into the second inning.

FSU quickly cut into the lead as Hallie Wacaser hit a leadoff single, and Amaya Ross smacked a home run to center field to make it 6-3. FSU continued to put pressure on the Boilermakers as Katie Dack drew a walk to bring up Devyn Flaherty. Flaherty hit a ground ball to the shortstop, but the throw went wild to allow Dack to advance to third. The Seminoles then put on a double steal, and Dack scored on the throw to second to try to catch Flaherty. Kalei Harding singled up the middle to score Flaherty to pull the Noles within one going into the bottom of the second.

The Seminole offense continued to produce as Ross drew a walk in the top of the third to put a baserunner on for the Noles. After Ross stole her 13th base of the season, Flaherty singled up the middle for her eighth RBI of the season to tie the game.

Beachum and Harding led off the fourth inning with back-to-back walks, and Michaela Edenfield continued her stellar season with a RBI single to give the Noles the lead. Isa Torres hit a fly ball out to right allowing Harding to score to give the Noles an 8-6 lead.

A couple of walks and an infield single loaded the bases for Harding in the fifth inning, and she got the job done as she reached on a fielder's choice to score Flaherty. Torres then reached on an error allowing Belviy to score to give the Noles a four-run cushion.

Back-to-back singles from Ross and Kennedy Harp got the Noles started in the top of the sixth, and Kaley Mudge earned a sacrifice fly to score Harp. Beachum then picked up her second RBI of the day to score Flaherty, and Harding doubled to give the Noles a 13-6 lead.

Harp hit her first career home run in the top of the seventh to give the Noles a 15-6 lead heading into the bottom half of the seventh. Purdue scored three in the bottom of the seventh, but Mimi Gooden was able to close out the game.

Makenna Reid entered the circle for Ashtyn Danley in the bottom of the first and had her best outing of the season. Reid went 5.1 innings and allowed just one hit while striking out a season-high seven batters. Reid's seven strikeouts were her second-most as a Seminole. Reid was credited with the win to improve to 3-0 on the year.

The Seminoles scored in every single inning against the Boilermakers with nine different Seminoles recording a hit. Beachum, Harding, Ross and Harp each had multiple hits.

FSU's five-run comeback was the largest come back since Feb. 7, 2020, when the Seminoles were down 7-1 to Alabama and came back to win 8-7.

Game Two vs. Western Michigan

Offense was hard to come by for the Noles in the second game of the day against Western Michigan, but FSU was able to take advantage of five errors from the Broncos to secure a 6-2 win.

Neither team was able to put any runs across in the first two innings. FSU had a great chance in the bottom of the second inning when they loaded the bases but a hard line out to third base ended the inning.

FSU struck first in the third as Beachum drew a leadoff walk. Annie Potter ran for Beachum and immediately stole second and advanced to third on a bad throw. Potter would score on a ground ball from Harding to give the Noles a 1-0 lead.

The Broncos responded with two runs of their own in the top of the fourth, but their lead did not last for long as the Seminoles put two runs on the board in the fourth inning. Ross started the inning by reaching on an error. Ross then stole second and was able to advance all the way to home thanks to a couple of throwing errors by the Broncos. Flaherty then hit a double, stole third and scored on a Mudge groundout to give the Noles the lead.

After Allison Royalty retired the side in order in the top of the fifth, Edenfield hit her team-leading seventh home run of the season to extend the lead to 4-2.

Katie Dack reached base on a swinging strikeout out the pitch sailed high allowing Dack to take first. Flaherty drew a walk, and Mudge picked up another RBI on a fielder's choice as Harp scampered home. FSU added one more run on a sacrifice fly from Harding allowing Flaherty to score.

Royalty struck out the side in the top of the seventh to end the game. Royalty went all seven innings and allowed just one earned run while striking out a season high seven batters. It was the first time in her career that Royalty had pitched all seven innings.

Flaherty then hit a double, stole third and scored on a Mudge groundout to give the Noles the lead.

After Allison Royalty retired the side in order in the top of the fifth, Edenfield hit her team-leading seventh home run of the season to extend the lead to 4-2.

Katie Dack reached base on a swinging strikeout out the pitch sailed high allowing Dack to take first. Flaherty drew a walk, and Mudge picked up another RBI on a fielder's choice as Harp scampered home. FSU added one more run on a sacrifice fly from Harding allowing Flaherty to score.

Royalty struck out the side in the top of the seventh to end the game. Royalty went all seven innings and allowed just one earned run while striking out a season high seven batters. It was the first time in her career that Royalty had pitched all seven innings.

No. 16 FSU Scores 10 Unanswered Runs In Win At FGCU.

FORT MYERS, Fla. - The No. 16 Florida State softball team (15-5) defeated Florida Gulf Coast University (15-9) Sunday 13-6 to finish the FGCU Spring Break Classic with four victories.

The Eagles got out to an early 4-0 in the first inning but the Noles bounced back behind the big bat of freshman Isa Torres, as she delivered a two-RBI single in the top of the third inning to help bring FSU to within one.

FGCU responded in the bottom of the inning and pushed its lead back up to 6-3. In the top of the fourth inning, Jaysoni Beachum delivered a clutch two-RBI double to pull the Noles back within one.

FSU found themselves down 6-5 in the top of the fifth inning until a Hallie Wacaser single and a Kennedy Harp sacrifice fly gave the Noles their first lead. The momentum continued with a Devyn Flaherty RBI single up the middle to give FSU an 8-6 advantage.

Michaela Edenfield then delivered a grand slam that broke the game open for FSU. The Noles bats caught fire and delivered eight runs in the fifth inning giving them a 13-6 lead that held firm through the end.

Makenna Reid pitched 3.1 innings and allowed just two earned runs while striking out four. She picked up her fourth win of the season and improved her record to 4-0.

As a team, FSU had nine hits and drew five walks. Torres and Flaherty led Florida State with two hits each, and Flaherty scored a team-high three runs.

No. 18 Softball Completes Doubleheader Sweep Against SDSU.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The No. 18 Florida State softball team (17-5) dominated South Dakota State (13-16) in a doubleheader on Tuesday afternoon at the Seminole Softball Complex. The Seminoles defeated the Jackrabbits 11-5 in game one and cruised to an 8-0 win in six innings in game two.

Game One

Amaya Ross's first career grand slam and an 8-run fifth inning propelled the Seminoles to an 11-6 win in game one.

FSU got the on the board first as the first four batters were walked to bring a run across for the Noles. Isa Torres then hit a single through the left side to bring home Jaysoni Beachum and Kalei Harding to take a 3-0 lead after the first inning.

The Jackrabbits responded with two runs in the third and took a 5-3 lead off three unearned runs in the bottom of the fifth.

The lead didn't last long as Torres came through again with the bases loaded to bring home Annie Potter to cut the lead to one. Ross stepped in with the bases juiced and hit a rocket over the left field wall for her first career grand slam to put the Noles up 8-5. The scoring barrage continued as Kaley Mudge earned a RBI single, and Beachum singled down the right field line to give the Noles an 11-5 lead.

Makenna Reid came in to relieve Mimi Gooden and was terrific as she went 4.1 innings and allowed just two hits while striking out six. Reid was credited with the win to improve to 5-0 this season and 18-0 in her career. In her past five appearances, Reid has pitched 17 innings and allowed just two earned runs while striking out 20 batters.

Game Two

The second game of the doubleheader was all Noles thanks to another home run from Amaya Ross and a quality start from Ashtyn Danley.

Danley got the start for the Noles and had her best outing of the season as she pitched five complete innings with four strikeouts while only allowing one hit.

Much like the first game, the Noles used some patience at the plate to get the offense going. Torres, Ross and Devyn Flaherty each drew a walk to load the bases for Danley who hit a ground ball to the shortstop allowing Torres to score. After Mudge walked, Beachum delivered a hard-hit ball to the shortstop who was unable to make a play to plate another run for the Noles.

Michaela Edenfield led off the bottom of the third inning with a single, and Ross stepped in with one out and hit a no-doubter over the left field wall for her fifth home run of the year to give the Noles a 4-0 lead after three innings.

The Seminoles were able to end the game early with four runs in the sixth. Danley hit a double off the left field wall, and Kennedy Harp reached on an error to put a runner in scoring position for Beachum who delivered again with an RBI-single. Harding brought home another run on a dropped fly ball by the right fielder. Torres earned a RBI on a groundout, and Hallie Wacaser hit a single down the left field line with the bases loaded to send the fans home early.

Softball Falls in Tight Battle Against Alabama.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The No. 18 Florida State softball team (17-6) fell to the No. 15 Alabama Crimson Tide (21-3), 4-1, in their Wednesday night battle on JoAnne Graf Field.

The Crimson Tide opened up the game by scoring two runs in the first inning from a solo home run and an RBI single, making the score 2-0. At the top of the third, Alabama had bases loaded with no outs, but the Seminoles were able to prevent them from any scores by forcing three straight pop-up outs.

In the bottom of the fourth, the Seminoles made it onto the scoreboard. Kalei Harding hit a single up the middle, and Michaela Edenfield then forced a walk advancing Harding to second. An Isa Torres ground out resulted in Harding and Edenfield advancing to second and third base, respectively. Harding was able to slide home on a wild pitch to cut the lead to one.

At the top of the fifth, Isa Torres made some impressive defensive plays at shortstop to create another scoreless inning.

Alabama added two runs on a home run in the top of the sixth inning.

At the bottom of the 7th inning, the Noles managed to get a runner on first but ultimately were not able to pull off the comeback.

Allison Royalty pitched 2.0 innings before Makenna Reid entered the game and threw for 3.2 innings, while Ashtyn Danley finished the game throwing the last 1.1 innings.

Softball Falls in ACC Opener.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The No. 18 Florida State softball team (17-7, 0-1) fell to No. 4 Duke (21-1, 0-1) by a score of 10-5 on Friday night at the Seminole Softball Complex.

Duke scored the runs first 10 runs of the game after putting up runs in the first, third, fourth, fifth and sixth innings. FSU's bats got going in the bottom of the sixth inning as Jahni Kerr made her return after being out for five games due to injury with a leadoff double. Back-to-back walks loaded the bases for the Noles, and Jaysoni Beachum reached on a fielder's choice to put the first run on the board for the Noles. Kalei Harding and Amaya Ross each added singles to put two more runs on the board for the Noles, and Hallie Wacaser earned a sacrifice fly to score Harding.

FSU added one more run in the bottom of the seventh thanks to another RBI single from Kalei Harding, but the rally would end there. Harding finished the night 2-for-4 with two RBI to lead the Noles.

Seminoles Bounce Back with 4-2 Win Over No. 4 Duke to Tie the Series.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The No. 18 Florida State softball team (18-7, 1-1) bounced back from a tough loss last night with a 4-2 victory over No. 4 Duke (21-2, 4-1) in front of a packed crowd Saturday afternoon at the Seminole Softball Complex.

The Seminoles wasted no time getting on the board as the Seminoles put up three runs in the bottom of the first inning. Jaysoni Beachum got the Noles going with a single, and after a groundout moved Beachum to second, Kalei Harding ripped a double to the right field corner to score Beachum. Harding advanced to third on a passed ball, and Amaya Ross hit her fifth triple of the season, which ranks second in the country, to bring home Harding. Isa Torres continued the two-out rally with a double to left field for her 20th RBI of the season.

Harding hit her 52nd career double in the third inning to score Beachum to give the Noles a 4-0 lead. With that double, Harding is now second all-time in school history for career doubles, trailing only Jessi Warren.

Makenna Reid got the start for the Noles and was terrific against one of the top scoring offenses in the country. Reid retired 14 out of the 16 batters she faced in the first five innings while striking out five.

The Blue Devils got some life to start the sixth inning as they put runners on first and second with no outs. Reid re-entered for Allison Royalty and was able to limit the damage but not before Duke was able to plate two runs. Reid took the circle again for the Noles in the seventh inning and did not allow a baserunner as she sat down the Blue Devils in order to win the game.

Reid pitched a career-high seven innings and allowed just three hits while striking out five. Reid did not allow an earned run and improved to 5-0 this season and 18-0 as a Seminole.

No. 18 Softball Takes No. 4 Duke to Extra Innings, Falls 9-5.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The No. 18 Florida State softball team (18-8, 1-2) fell to No. 4 Duke (22-2, 5-1), 9-5, in eight innings on Sunday afternoon at the Seminole Softball Complex.

The Seminole bats once again came alive against the top pitching staff in the country as the Noles jumped out to an early 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning thanks to a double from Kalei Harding.

Duke responded with a run in the top of the second inning and two runs in the top of the third inning to take a 3-1 lead.

Amaya Ross reached on an error in the bottom of the third and moved to scoring position via a stolen base. Michaela Edenfield then hit one over the center fielder's head to score Ross to bring the Noles within one.

Jaysoni Beachum delivered a double in the bottom of the fourth inning, and Jahni Kerr hit a hard ball to the shortstop that was dropped to allow Beachum to score to tie the game.

Duke was able to add two more runs off a wild pitch and a groundout in the top of the fifth to regain the lead.

The Blue Devils would take a two-run lead into the bottom of the seventh inning, but the Noles used a seventh inning rally for the third time this season to tie the game to send it into extras. Ross led off the inning by being hit by a pitch then advanced to second on a wild pitch. Edenfield recorded her third hit of the day to score Ross. Edenfield advanced to third on an error by the right fielder to give the Noles a runner on third with just one out.

Annie Potter came in to run for Edenfield, and Hallie Wacaser hit a ground ball to the second baseman that was deep enough to score Potter to tie the game.

Duke's four runs in the top of the eighth inning were too much for the Seminoles to overcome.

FSU Falls to No. 2 Texas.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The No. 18 Florida State softball team (18-9, 1-1) fell to No. 2 Texas (25-3, 5-1) 10-0 in six innings Wednesday night at the Seminole Softball Complex.

Texas jumped out to an early 2-0 lead in the first inning thanks to a sacrifice fly and a double. The Longhorns added runs in the second and the third inning, but Ashtyn Danley came in and put up back-to-back zeros in the fourth and fifth innings. Danley had a very solid outing for the Noles as she went three complete innings without allowing a run while striking out three.

Isa Torres led the Noles offensively as she had a season high three hits and three at bats for the Seminoles.

The Longhorns added four runs in the top of the sixth to put the Seminoles in run rule territory.

Noles Score 13 Runs in Three Inning in Victory Over Pitt.

PITTSBURGH, Pa. - The No. 18 Florida State softball team (19-9, 2-2) scored 13 runs in the first three innings to cruise to a 13-4 victory in five innings over Pitt (8-19, 0-7) on a chilly afternoon at Vartabedian Field in Pittsburgh, Pa.

The Seminoles wasted no time getting the bats going as back-to-back singles from Kaley Mudge and Jaysoni Beachum put a runner in scoring position for Kalei Harding. Harding singled to bring home Mudge for the Seminoles first run of the game. After back-to-back pop-ups, Jahni Kerr smashed her second home run of the year to center field to give the Noles a 4-0 lead after the top of the first.

Pitt was able to put runners on the corners in the bottom of the first inning, but Makenna Reid got the Panthers swinging to end the inning.

Katie Dack led off the second inning with a walk, and after a Devyn Flaherty double, Beachum hit her seventh home run of the season to put the Noles up 7-0. After another single from Harding, Amaya Ross continued her terrific season with a two-run home run to make it 9-0.

The Seminoles continued the scoring barrage in the third inning as Mudge drew a bases loaded walk to put the Noles up 10-0. FSU has now scored 10 or more runs seven times this season after accomplishing that feat just eight times in 69 games last season.

Beachum and Harding each hit their third singles of the game to add two more runs for the Noles. Ross added one more run on a sacrifice fly to make the score 13-0.

The Panthers once again threatened in the bottom of the third as they loaded the bases with just one out. Reid came up clutch with back-to-back strikeouts to keep off the Panthers off the board.

Pitt was able to bring across four runs in the bottom of the fourth, but the Seminoles closed out the game in the fifth inning with three strikeouts.

Seminole Bats Stay Hot in 10-0 Win Over Pitt.

PITTSBURGH, Pa. - The No. 18 Florida State Softball team (20-9, 3-2) picked up right where they left off from Saturday's game with another offensive outburst in a 10-0 win over Pitt (8-20, 0-8) in five innings on Sunday afternoon.

Kaley Mudge set the tone right away for the Noles as she hit a leadoff triple to put the Noles in business. Jaysoni Beachum would hit a fly ball deep enough for Mudge to score. Kalei Harding then stepped in to hit her sixth home run of the season. Michaela Edenfield was hit by a pitch then Amaya Ross hit her second home run in as many games to put the Noles up 4-0. Jahni Kerr followed Ross with her third home run of the season to put the Noles up 5-0 after the top of the first.

The Noles got back to work in the second inning as Devyn Flaherty and Mudge hit back-to-back singles, and Beachum was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Harding delivered with a RBI single, and Edenfield scored one more on a sacrifice fly to give the Noles a 7-0 lead after two innings.

In the third inning, Flaherty hit a two-out single, and freshman Kennedy Harp hit her second career home run to left center field to put the Noles up 9-0.

Edenfield hit her team-leading ninth home run of the season to open up the fourth inning to give the Noles 10 runs for the second consecutive game, and the eighth time this season.

Ashtyn Danley shut down the Pitt offense as she retired the first six batters she faced. Danley pitched four innings and allowed just one hit while striking out a career high eight batters. Emma Wilson came on in the fifth and closed the door by retiring the side in order.

Softball Hits Seven Home Runs in 17-7 Win Over Pitt.

PITTSBURGH, Pa. - The Florida State Seminoles' offense came through again as they completed the series sweep with a 17-7 win over Pitt (8-21, 0-9) in five innings on Sunday evening.

Kaey Mudge got things started and continued her hot weekend with a leadoff home run to left center to give the Noles an early 1-0 lead. It was Mudge's first home run of the season.

Allison Royalty surrendered a walk in the bottom of the first inning but was able to get out of the inning without any further damage.

The Seminoles got the bats going again in the bottom of the second inning as Amaya Ross drew a leadoff walk, and Hallie Wacaser hit her sixth home run of the season. Isa Torres immediately followed Wacaser with a home run of her own to give the Noles a 4-0 lead. Mudge stepped in with two outs and delivered another solo home run for her first career multi-home run of her career.

Pitt responded with a two-run home run in the bottom of the second, but the Noles got right back to work in the top of the third. Michaela Edenfield was hit by a pitch to lead off the inning. The Noles got two runners in scoring position thanks to a double from Amaya Ross. Jahni Kerr got a RBI on a groundout, and Hallie Wacaser delivered with a double to give the Noles a 7-2 lead. FSU added one more run in the inning as Wacaser scored thanks to a Panthers' error.

Pitt responded again in the bottom of the third as they smacked two home runs to bring them within two.

FSU continued their offensive explosion as Wacaser picked up her fourth and fifth RBI in the top of the fourth on a single to put the Noles back up 10-6.

Makenna Reid was able to keep the Panthers off the board in the bottom of the fourth, and the offense had their biggest inning of the weekend in the top of the fifth. After Harding drove home Flaherty on a sacrifice fly, Ross and Kerr hit back-to-back home runs to put the game away. Katie Dack joined the home run party with her first home run of the season to put the Noles up 17-7.

Pitt added one more in the bottom of the fifth, but Reid shut the door to give the Noles their third run-rule victory of the series.

The offense was the story of the weekend as the Noles scored 40 runs on 39 hits. FSU hit 15 home runs including seven in the series finale which ties a program record. This weekend marked the first time in school history that FSU scored 10 or more runs in each game of a three-game series against an ACC opponent. It was also just the fourth time in school history that FSU has had three or more consecutive games with 10 or more runs.

Isa Torres' Walk-Off Home Run Leads No. 18 Softball Past NC State.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Freshman Isa Torres hit a two-run walk-off home run in the bottom of the seventh inning to give the No. 18 Florida State softball team (22-9, 5-2) defeat NC State (18-14, 1-9), 8-6, Thursday night at the Seminoles Softball Complex.

After a scoreless first inning, Jahni Kerr kicked off the bottom of the second inning for the Noles with a leadoff triple to right field. Torres delivered with her first RBI of the night with a double to bring home Kerr to give the Noles a 1-0 lead.

NC State struck back with four runs in the top of the third, but FSU began to claw their way back as Kalei Harding singled for her 32nd RBI of the year to cut the lead to two.

A double, a single and a walk loaded the bases for Harding in the bottom of the fourth, and she hit a bases-clearing double to give the Noles a 5-4 lead. Michaela Edenfield followed Harding with a double of her own to bring one more run across for the Noles.

NC State tied the game up with a two-run home run in the top of the sixth, but Makenna Reid responded by retiring the Wolfpack in order in the top of the seventh to set the stage for the Seminole offense.

Amaya Ross walked to lead off the bottom of the seventh and stole second to put a runner in scoring position. After a strikeout, Torres stepped in and blasted a ball over the right field fence for her second walk-off of her young career. Torres finished the night with three hits in four at-bats with three RBI.

No. 18 Softball Run Rules NC State to Claim Series.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - A complete game from the offense, defense and pitching led the No. 18 Florida State softball team (23-9, 6-2) to an 8-0 win in five innings over NC State (18-15, 1-10) in front of 1,089 fans at the Seminole Softball Complex on Friday evening.

FSU was in control from start to finish as Mimi Gooden stranded two runners on first and second to put a zero on the board for the Noles in the first inning. After a Jaysoni Beachum single, Kalei Harding stepped in and hit her seventh home run of the season and her 38th and 39th RBI of the season to give the Noles a 2-0 lead after one.

Walks by Isa Torres and Kaley Mudge and an infield single from Kennedy Harp loaded the bases for the red hot Beachum who delivered again with two more RBI to give FSU a commanding 4-0 lead after two innings. The Noles added one more run in the third on a sacrifice fly from Isa Torres to extend their lead to 5-0.

Gooden was terrific for the Noles as she retired eight consecutive batters spanning from the first inning to the third inning. The Wolfpack threatened in the top of the fourth with a single and double to put two runners in scoring position, but Emma Wilson came in and recorded two straight pop ups to get the Noles out of the inning.

The Wolfpack threatened in a strange top half of the fifth inning that took over 20 minutes with multiple delays and reviews. The Wolfpack loaded the bases with no outs, but Makenna Reid rose to the moment with a strikeout and two pop ups to keep the Wolfpack scoreless.

FSU took that momentum into the bottom of the fifth inning as Jahni Kerr and Torres hit back-to-back singles, and Harp hit her third home run of the season to end the game in five innings.

Beachum, Kerr and Harp each recorded two hits to lead the Seminoles while Harding, Torres and Michaela Edenfield each added a hit of their own.

Gooden was credited with the win to improve to 2-0 this season. She allowed just three hits in 3.1 innings while throwing just 34 pitches.

No. 18 Softball Stays Hot to Complete Sweep Over NC State.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The Florida State Seminoles (24-9, 7-2) showcased their dominance in both offense and defense, securing a series sweep with a resounding 8-5 win over NC State (18-16, 1-11) on Saturday afternoon.

In a gripping start to the game between the Noles and NC State, both teams found themselves locked in a battle of defenses as they couldn't manage to score in the first inning.

However, in the bottom of the second inning, the Noles gained momentum. Amaya Ross reached on an error and advanced to second on a wild pitch. Isa Torres laid down a perfect bunt to third and used some head's up baserunning to advance to second for a double. Kennedy Harp's fly ball was deep enough to bring Ross home giving the Noles a 1-0 lead over NC State.

A walk and a hit by pitch set the stage again for Torres who continued her hot weekend with a two more RBI to put the Noles up 3-0. Harp then added her second RBI of the day to give the Noles a commanding 4-0 lead.

The Wolfpack fought back with a run in the bottom of the fourth, putting them on the scoreboard. Ashtyn Danley successfully prevented NC State from scoring again in the bottom of the fourth inning, allowing FSU to maintain their momentum.

FSU's offensive explosiveness continued in the bottom of the fourth inning. After a Mudge reached base in the bottom of the fourth inning by a hit to center field, Kalei Harding then crushed her eighth home run of the year into left field, paving the way for Mudge to score and earning her 40th RBI of the season to give the Noles a 6-1 lead after four innings.

Katie Dack added two more runs for the Noles in the bottom of the fifth with her second home run of the season to give the Noles a commanding 8-1 lead.

NC State hit two home runs in the top of the seventh, but the Noles held on for their sixth consecutive win.

Ashtyn Danley picked up the win for the Noles and was terrific as she pitched five complete innings while surrendering just one hit and one run whole striking out three.

Torres was the standout player for the Noles in this series as she recorded seven hits in eight at-bats (.875) with five RBI including the walk-off home run on Thursday.

Softball Wins Seventh Straight in 12-0 Run-Rule Victory Over McNeese.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The No. 18 Florida State softball team (25-9, 7-2) defeated the McNeese Cowgirls (23-14, 8-1) 12-0 in five innings in a midweek matchup at JoAnne Graf Field. FSU has won seven straight and also ended McNeese's eight-game winning streak. It was the first time McNeese had been run-ruled in five innings all season after playing the likes of Oklahoma, LSU and Baylor.

The Seminole offense got off to another hot start as Kaley Mudge hit a triple into deep right field and was brought home on a sacrifice fly by Kalei Harding to give the Noles a 1-0 lead after the first inning.

After a scoreless second inning, Devyn Flaherty reached on a single and Kalei Harding walked to put two runners on base for Michaela Edenfield with two outs. Edenfield homered into deep-right, getting two RBI's and giving the Noles a four-run lead. Their dominance continued next inning with Kennedy Harp, who homered into left field to give the Seminoles another run to put them up 5-0.

Keeping the bats hot at the bottom of the fourth, Harding hit a ground ball that bounced off the second baseman's glove to bring two runs across. With runners on the corners, the Noles put on a double steal to add another run to make it 8-0. Edenfield continued her hot night with a double down the right field line to score Harding to extend the Noles lead. Jahni Kerr then hit her fifth home run of the season to blow the game completely open to give the Noles a 12-0 lead after four. It is the 10th time this season this season that FSU has scored 10 or more runs, and it is also the seventh consecutive game that FSU has scored eight or more runs which is the longest streak since the 2019 season.

Makenna Reid, who is now 9-1, had a very impressive game with two strikeouts in 4.1 innings allowing four hits but not allowing a single run. Mimi Gooden came on in the fifth and recorded the final two outs.

No. 18 Softball Run-Rules McNeese in Eighth-Straight Win.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The 18th-ranked Florida State softball team (26-9) completed an 8-0 run-rule victory over McNeese (23-15) in five innings on Wednesday night at JoAnne Graf Field. The Seminoles have won eight consecutive game while run-ruling opponents in six of those games.

FSU wasted no time as leadoff hitter Kaley Mudge hit a tough single to the third baseman before a wild pitch allowed her to fly past second and stand 60 feet away from home plate. Kalei Harding smacked a fly ball into deep center field to allow Mudge to score the game's first run.

The lineup kept rolling into the second as Isa Torres unleashed a fiery double through left for her 40th hit of the season. Kennedy Harp's single and a five pitch walk for Devyn Flaherty loaded the bases with one out.

Entering the batter's box was Mudge who crushed a two-run double into center before Jaysoni Beachum hit a sacrifice fly to score Flaherty. Harding answered the call to send Mudge home again as she belted the first pitch over the wall in center field for a two-run homer for a 6-0 score after two innings.

Mudge completed her incredible night with a second double to leadoff the fourth inning. This marked her second three-hit game of the season joining her three-hit performance on St. Patrick's Day game against Duke. Autumn Belviy replaced her as pinch runner and ran home after a Jaysoni Beachum single pushed the lead to seven.

The Seminoles scored the elusive eighth run of the game off Angelee Bueno's first career RBI into left center to score Annie Potter. This marks the Seminoles eighth consecutive game with eight or more runs, tying the school record.

Ashtyn Danley made her 14th start in the circle this season and pitched through the entirety as she struck out six batters, conceded only one extra base hit and didn't give up any runs in the shutout. She earned her seventh win of the season and pitched her second career complete game.

No. 18 Softball Comes Up Short at Louisville.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - The No. 18 Florida State softball team (26-10, 7-3) came up just short against Louisville (23-14, 4-6) by a score of 5-4 on Friday night at Ulmer Stadium in Louisville, Ky.

The Seminoles jumped on the board early as Kaley Mudge opened the game with a walk, and Kalei Harding hit one into the gap for her 12th double of the season to put the Noles up 1-0 after the first inning.

FSU kept the bats going in the second inning has Jahni Kerr led off with a double, and after a walk by Devyn Flaherty, Mudge continued her perfect week with a double to left center field to give the Noles a 2-0 lead. Mudge is currently 6-for-6 in her last three games and has driven in three runs.

After Makenna Reid held the Cardinals hitless for the first three innings, Louisville was able to tied the game on a two-run home run in the bottom of the fourth inning. The Cardinals would add two more runs in the bottom of the fifth to take the lead.

FSU responded in the top of the six as Kerr picked up her second hit of the night, and Katie Dack drew a walk to put runners on for the Noles. With Autumn Belviy and Amaya Ross coming in to run for Dack and Kerr, FSU had two runners in scoring position with two outs for Devyn Flaherty.

FSU got off to a slow start as the Cardinals pushed two runs across in the first inning before the Seminoles recorded an out. Ashtyn Danley came in and got the Noles out of the jam with a couple of ground outs and a nice play to get the runner out at home to hold the Cardinals to just two runs.

Each team was scoreless in the second and third innings, but Michaela Edenfield broke the silence with her 11th home run of the season to cut the lead to one. The Cardinals answered with a run of their own in the bottom of the fourth to bring their lead back to two.

FSU got the bats going in the top of the fifth as they scored three runs, all with two outs, to take the lead. Devyn Flaherty got things going with a single, and Jaysoni Beachum doubled to bring the Noles within one. Kalei Harding then hit a ground ball that went right under the second baseman's glove to tie the game. Edenfield then hit a ball to right center field that dropped right in front of two Cardinal outfielders to give FSU its first lead of the day.

The Cardinals responded with a run to tie the game in the bottom of the fifth, but Makenna Reid came on and got a strikeout to leave runners on second and third.

The Seminoles capitalized on the Cardinals' mistakes again in the sixth inning as Kaley Mudge stepped into the box with the bases loaded with one out. Mudge hit a ground ball to the second baseman who committed her second error of the day, allowing Flaherty and Kennedy Harp to score. Beachum earned a RBI on a sacrifice fly to extend the lead to three.

Reid hung a zero on the board in the bottom of the sixth, and the Noles went back to work as Edenfield ended her successful day at the plate with her first career triple. Edenfield was a single short from hitting for the cycle. Krystina Hartley came on to run for Edenfield and would score on a ground out from Jahni Kerr to add some insurance.

Reid allowed one hit in the bottom of the seventh but struck out the final batter to give the Noles the win.

No. 18 Softball Secures Series with Gritty 4-3 Win Over Louisville.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - The No. 18 Florida State softball team (28-10, 9-3) pulled out a tough 4-3 win over Louisville (23-16, 4,8) on Sunday afternoon at Ulmer Stadium in Louisville, Ky.

Louisville struck first as they plated one run in the bottom of the first with a single. Runs became hard to come by as both pitching staffs settled in with neither team scoring another run until the fourth inning.

FSU got on the board in the top of the fourth inning as Amaya Ross hit a ball to right field that was dropped by the right fielder to bring home both Michaela Edenfield and Jahni Kerr to give the Noles the lead.

The Cardinals struck again in the bottom of the fifth with two runs of their own, but the Seminoles struck right back in the top of the sixth to regain the lead. With runners on first and second, Katie Dack hit a ground ball to the shortstop who made an errant throw to try to get the force out at third allowing both Kennedy Harp and Isa Torres to score to give FSU the lead.

Ashtyn Danley retired the side in order in the bottom of the sixth, but the Cardinals weren't going out without a fight in the bottom of the seventh. Louisville got the winning run on second base, but Makenna Reid came in on her 20th birthday and got the final two outs to secure the win.

Reid picked up her first save of the season while Danley moved to 8-3 on the year. The combo of Emma WIlson, Danley and Reid stifled the Louisville offense as the Seminole pitchers allowed just three hits while striking out five.

Five-Run Fourth Inning Propels No. 18 Softball Past Notre Dame.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The No. 18 Florida State softball team (29-10, 10-3) took down the Notre Dame Fighting Irish (23-15, 7-9), 6-2, in front of 1,812 fans in the first game of their weekend series on JoAnne Graf Field in the Seminole Softball Complex. Friday's attendance was the sixth-largest crowd in program history and the fifth-largest crowd in a regular season game.

Notre Dame opened up the scoring on the night scoring a pair of early runs in the top of the first . The Seminoles responded at the bottom of the first inning when Kaley Mudge launched a triple to center field. Jaysoni Beachum followed up by hitting a RBI single allowing Mudge to score to cut the lead to one.

In the bottom of the fourth, the Seminoles took the lead and momentum of the game scoring five runs. It started with a Devin Flaherty double to left field immediately followed by a Mudge RBI to tie the game at two. Soon after, Beachum and Autumn Belviy (in to run for Mudge) had made it to first and third, respectively, before Kalei Harding came in and soared a ball over center of the wall for a three-run home run to give the Noles a 5-2 lead. The scoring did not stop there as Kennedy Harp hit a single RBI allowing Jahni Kerr to score and push the score to 6-2.

Ashtyn Danely threw most of the game for the Noles pitching a career high 6.1 innings while striking out. Emma Wilson finished out the game in the last inning for the Noles.

Noles Use Big Second Inning to Claim Series Over Notre Dame.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Eight hits and seven runs in the second inning helped the No. 18 Florida State softball team (30-10, 11-3) to a series-clinching 7-3 win over Notre Dame (23-16, 7-10) on a beautiful Saturday night at JoAnne Graf Field.

After a scoreless first inning, the Fighting Irish posed the first threat of the game as they were able to get runners on second and third with one out. Makenna Reid picked up a strikeout and forced a ground out to Amaya Ross to end the inning to keep Notre Dame off the board.

FSU used that momentum from the top half of the inning to rattle off eight hits and seven runs with 12 batters coming to the plate. Isa Torres got things started with an infield single, and Amaya Ross doubled to put runners on second and third for Kennedy Harp. The freshman delivered with a single to bring home both Ross and Torres to put the Noles on the board. Madi Frey recorded just her second hit and RBI of her career to score Harp to put the Noles up 3-0. Kaley Mudge singled to move Frey over, and Jaysoni Beachum and Kalei Harding hit back-to-back singles to add two more runs for the Noles. Torres stepped in for her second at bat of the inning and singled to left field to score Beachum. Ross added one final run on an RBI ground out. In total, seven out FSU's eight hits in the inning were singles with six different players picking up an RBI.

Notre Dame responded with two runs in the third inning and threatened again in the fifth inning as they loaded the bases, but Reid got out of the jam and allowed the Fighting Irish to score just one run.

Notre Dame made one last push in the top of the seventh getting two runners on with one out, but Ashtyn Danley got a ground ball for Torres who flipped it over to Flaherty to start a 6-4-3 double play to end the game. Reid picked up the win to improve to 12-1 this season and 25-1 for her career.

Mudge had another stellar evening going 3-for-3 to improve to 5-for-6 on the weekend to lead an offensive group that saw nine different players record a hit.

No. 18 Softball Sweeps Notre Dame in Run-Rule Victory.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The No. 18 Florida State softball team (31-10, 12-3) accomplished its series sweep against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish (23-17, 7-11), 10-2, on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon at JoAnne Graf Field.

The Seminoles opened the scoring early in the bottom of the first inning. After a single through the left side by Kalei Harding, Jahni Kerr slammed a home run to left field scoring both, bringing the score to 2-0 at the bottom of the first.

Florida State was right back at it in the second inning, starting with Amaya Ross reaching first base on a single to third and making it to third thanks to a Devyn Flaherty single through the right side. Madi Frey would score both after hitting a double deep into left field, doubling the Seminoles lead to 4-0 at the bottom of the second. It was Frey's third hit of her career and her second hit of the series.

After a scoreless third inning, the Noles went back to business kicking off with a single up the middle by Flaherty, who would advance to second thanks to a sacrifice bunt from Frey. Kaley Mudge would score Flaherty with a single to right field. Autumn Belviy would take over running duties for Mudge as a pinch runner. Jaysoni Beachum would knock a homer out to left field, scoring herself and Belviy to give the Noles a commanding 7-0 lead after the fourth inning.

The visiting Fighting Irish threatened the Noles with runners on base throughout the first four innings but would not see a run score until the top of the fifth and then add an additional score in the sixth to bring the score to 7-2.

Florida State would not take those scores sitting down as the Noles struck back immediately in the sixth. After hitting a double to right center, Mudge would reach home off the heels of a Beachum double to right field. Kennedy Harp then hit a double of her own to left center, scoring Beachum. Isa Torres sealed the contest on a run rule with a single up the middle to score Harp.

The Seminoles saw a solid performance from the circle during the matchup. Emma Wilson made her fourth start of the season to begin the contest, not allowing a single run during her 1.1 innings.

Ashtyn Danley would take over for Wilson in the second inning. Danley would stay in the circle for the next 2.2 innings, earning one strikeout on 11 batters faced and zero runs. Danley was credited with the win to improve to 10-3 on the year.

Makenna Reid took over pitching duties at the top of the fifth inning. Reid would finish out the remainder of the game in the circle for the Seminoles, recording one strikeout on 11 batters faced and preventing a Notre Dame comeback.

Seventh Inning Rally Leads No. 18 Softball to 4-1 Win Over Boston College.

BRIGHTON, Mass. - The No. 18 Florida State softball team (35-10, 14-3) scored four runs in the top of the seventh to take down Boston College (25-18, 5-12) on Saturday afternoon. With the win, FSU has moved into sole possession of first place in the ACC with seven games left. The win also marks FSU's ninth consecutive which is currently the longest win streak of power five teams.

It was a pitchers' duel for most of the afternoon, but the Eagles struck right away with a leadoff home run in the bottom of the first to gain the early lead. Ashtyn Danley settled in and allowed just five hits for the remainder of the game as she went the distance for the complete game.

Offense was hard to come by for the Seminoles as they mustered just two hits in the first six innings of play. That all changed in the seventh inning as the Noles gained momentum with Isa Torres reaching on an error, and Amaya Ross walking to put runners on first and second with no outs.

Jahni Kerr singled up the middle to score Torres to tie the game and put runners on the corners with no outs. Kennedy Harp then hit a ground ball to the shortstop that allowed Ross to score to give the Noles the lead. Devyn Flaherty stepped in and ripped her first home run of the season over the right field wall to blow the game open and give the Noles a 4-1 lead.

Danley easily retired the side in order in the bottom of the seventh to secure her 11th win of the season in the circle.

No. 18 Softball Sweeps Boston College, Earns 10th Consecutive Win.

BRIGHTON, Mass. - The No. 18 Florida State softball team (36-10, 15-3) stayed hot with its 10th consecutive win as FSU defeated Boston College (25-19, 5-13) 10-3 to complete the series sweep in front of a capacity crowd on Sunday afternoon.

The Noles got the offense going right away as Kaley Mudge led off the game with a single. Jaysoni Beachum then smacked her 12th home run of the season to earn her 50th RBI of the season. Beachum is now tied with Sydney Sherrill for second place in school history for the most home runs by a true freshman. Beachum joins Jessi Warren and Sherrill as the only true freshmen to eclipse the 50 RBI mark in their first season.

FSU added another run in the top of the third as the top of the lineup came through again with Mudge earning a single and Beachum earning a double to put runners on second and third. Isa Torres then hit a ground ball to score Mudge to extend the lead to 3-0.

Boston College responded with three runs of its own to tie the game in the bottom of the third. The Seminoles responded with a two out rally in the top of the fourth with back-to-back singles from Katie Dack and Devyn Flaherty to put runners in scoring position for Mudge. Mudge delivered with a laser down the left field line for her third hit of the afternoon to give the Noles a 5-3 lead.

Boston College threatened in both the bottom of the fourth and fifth innings, but the FSU defense held strong to keep the Eagles off the board. The Eagles led off the bottom of the fourth with a hard hit ball that took an awkward bounce off the wall. The batter tried to turn a triple into an inside-the-park home run, but Jahni Kerr started a perfect relay to Flaherty who fired it into Dack who applied the tag to keep the Eagles off the board.

The Eagles threatened again in the bottom of the fifth as they loaded the bases with two outs, but Ashtyn Danley froze the hitter on a changeup to get out of the inning.

FSU carried the momentum into the top of the sixth as they exploded with five runs on four hits to blow the game open. After Hallie Wacaser walked, Katie Dack hit a moonshot over the scoreboard in left field for her third home run of the year to make it 7-3. Torres continued the scoring with a double down the right field line to score Mudge and Annie Potter. Kerr added one more run on a single to give FSU a commanding 10-3 lead.

Danley, Mimi Gooden and Allison Royalty combined to keep the Eagles off the board in the sixth and seven innings to secure the win for FSU. Danley improved to 13-3 on the year with the win.

12-Run Inning Leads No. 16 Softball to Run-Rule Win Over No. 12 Florida.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. - The 16th-ranked Florida State softball team (37-10) run-ruled 12th-ranked Florida (37-11) 12-2 in five innings on Wednesday night in front of packed Katie Seashole Pressly Stadium. The Seminoles used a 12-run fifth inning to defeat their in-state rivals for a sixth straight game in the series and third straight in Gainesville. FSU has now won 11 consecutive games and are winners in 19 out of the last 20.

The Gators hit a double off the center field wall and hit a solo shot to score the game's first two runs of the evening. Florida State came into the fifth inning with one hit on the night and only three batters making it base up to that point.

The inning began with a single up the middle from Hallie Wacaser to put the Noles on base before Katie Dack strung a laser into right field to allow pinch runner Annie Potter to clear all three bases to put the Noles back within one. Amaya Ross' liner into right was dropped in right field to put the tying run 60 feet away.

A wild pitch ensued to tie the game up before an intentional walk to Jaysoni Beachum allowed Kalei Harding to rock the first pitch she saw into left to and take the lead at 3-2. Florida made a pitching change, and Isa Torres worked the new pitcher to a full count before unleashing a behemoth three-run homer over center field to blow the game open with no outs in the inning.

The Seminoles added onto their three run lead with a fielder's choice and two singles by Ross and Kaley Mudge. Beachum had homered in four of her last five games and added onto the feat by scorching the first pitch over left field and capped off an incredible 12-run inning, the most runs FSU has scored in one inning all season.

Mimi Gooden made her third career start in the circle and completed one of her best outings in hostile territory. The freshman pitched 3.0 innings and conceded just one extra base hit in her fourth win of the season.
