Lead Story
Florida State softball’s ACC winning streak came to an end at 36 games on Friday after splitting a doubleheader with Pittsburgh.
It looked as though the streak would end at 35 as the Seminoles trailed 1-0 entering the final frame in the first game. After Morgan Klaevemann and Carsyn Gordon got on base however, Sydney Sherrill delivered a walk-off 2-run double to give FSU a 2-1 victory.
The second game required eight innings as the teams were scoreless after seven. In extra innings, Olivia Gray delivered the winning hit for the Panthers to score Marissa DeMatteo in a 1-0 win for Pittsburgh.
The loss for FSU was its first against ACC competition since falling to Louisville on May 7, 2016. The teams will wrap up the 3-game series on Sunday.
