TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Fans will get their first chance to see the reigning Women's College World Series National Runner Florida State softball team on Feb. 3 as the Seminoles will be hosting their annual Garnet and Gold Scrimmage at JoAnne Graf Field. First pitch for the scrimmage is set for 2 p.m. at the Seminole Softball Complex. Fans will be able to interact with players and coaches throughout the day. FSU will also be hosting their annual First Pitch Party at 4:45 p.m. on the 4th floor of the Dunlap Champions Club. Doors to the Dunlap Champions Club will open at 4 p.m. Admission to the Garnet and Gold Scrimmage is free, but fans will need to purchase a ticket to attend the First Pitch Party.

The Seminoles are coming off another terrific season in 2023 which saw FSU win the ACC Regular Season Championship, the ACC Tournament Championship and qualify for their 12th Women's College World Series where they won their first three games to reach the Championship Series for the second time in three years before falling to Oklahoma.Â
Head Coach Lonni Alameda enters her 16th season at the helm for the Seminoles and returns a plethora of experience with seven seniors on the roster. FSU will return six out of their top seven hitters from last year's squad that posted the program's highest batting average (.300) since 2019. The Seminoles also return Makenna Reid in the circle who had a terrific season in 2023 posting a 0.97 era and a perfect 12-0 record in 43 appearances as a freshman. FSU will also look to get big innings from Allison Royalty, Emma Wilson, Madi Balk and freshmen Ashtyn Danley and Mimi Gooden.Â
FSU will open the season with the JoAnne Graf Classic on Feb. 8-10 where FSU will welcome Charlotte, Florida A&M and Charlotte to the Seminole Softball Complex.
