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.

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.
