5/4/2024 3:45:00 PM | Softball
SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Syracuse beat No. 14 Florida State, 13-5, in five innings, to take the series victory Saturday afternoon at Skytop Stadium. With the win, the Orange have clinched a spot in the 2024 ACC Softball Championship.
Syracuse (28-22, 9-15 ACC) used an eight-run second inning to surge its way to the win against the Seminoles (41-13, 19-5 ACC)
Senior Lindsey Hendrix earned her second win of the weekend, striking out three batters in the five innings of work.
HOW IT HAPPENED AGAINST FLORIDA STATE:
Michaela Edenfield gave Florida State a 3-0 lead in the first, hitting a three-run homer. Junior Taylor Posner cut into the lead in the home half of the frame, singling in sophomore Madelyn Lopez.
The Orange broke the game open in the second, sending 11 batters to the plate and putting up an eight-spot. With the bases loaded, senior Angel Jasso singled to right as Syracuse moved station-to-station. In the next at bat, a Florida State throwing error cleared the bases, giving the Orange a 6-3 lead. Syracuse kept the momentum, as two batters later, junior Laila Morales-Alves launched a three-run shot over the right field wall, catapulting the eight-run frame.
After the Seminoles scored a pair in the top of the fourth, the Orange quickly responded, putting a baker's dozen on the board. Graduate student Rebecca Clyde and Lopez recorded back-to-back RBI singles before Jasso doubled them home, putting the run rule into effect.
Hendrix completed the victory setting Florida State down in order in the fifth, striking out a pair.
OF NOTE:
