It’s Monday, Florida State fans. As you start your new week, keep it here for the latest in FSU athletics. The news and notes section of this post will be updated throughout the day.
Lead Story
Florida State softball bounced back from its first ACC loss in 37 games in a big way on Sunday. After falling to Pittsburgh 1-0 in extra innings in the second game of a doubleheader on Friday night, FSU blanked the Panthers, 8-0.
The Seminoles needed just five innings to collect the win after blowing things open with a 6-run second inning. The frame was capped with a 3-run home run from Sydney Sherrill, who drove in four runs on the day. Shortstop Cali Harrod drove in three runs in the victory.
Kylee Hanson picked up the win, allowing just a hit while striking out eight in three innings of work. Up next for FSU is a home contest with rival Florida on Wednesday night.
