No. 18 Softball Run-Rules McNeese in Eighth-Straight Win
4/3/2024 10:23:00 PM | Softball
TALLAHASSEE – The 18th-ranked Florida State softball team (26-9) completed an 8-0 run-rule victory over McNeese (23-15) in five innings on Wednesday night at JoAnne Graf Field. The Seminoles have won eight consecutive game while run-ruling opponents in six of those games.
FSU wasted no time as leadoff hitter Kaley Mudge hit a tough single to the third baseman before a wild pitch allowed her to fly past second and stand 60 feet away from home plate. Kalei Harding smacked a fly ball into deep center field to allow Mudge to score the game's first run.
The lineup kept rolling into the second as Isa Torres unleashed a fiery double through left for her 40th hit of the season. Kennedy Harp's single and a five pitch walk for Devyn Flaherty loaded the bases with one out.
Entering the batter's box was Mudge who crushed a two-run double into center before Jaysoni Beachum hit a sacrifice fly to score Flaherty. Harding answered the call to send Mudge home again as she belted the first pitch over the wall in center field for a two-run homer for a 6-0 score after two innings.
Mudge completed her incredible night with a second double to leadoff the fourth inning. This marked her second three-hit game of the season joining her three-hit performance on St. Patrick's Day game against Duke. Autumn Belviy replaced her as pinch runner and ran home after a Jaysoni Beachum single pushed the lead to seven.
The Seminoles scored the elusive eighth run of the game off Angelee Bueno's first career RBI into left center to score Annie Potter. This marks the Seminoles eighth consecutive game with eight or more runs, tying the school record.
Ashtyn Danley made her 14th start in the circle this season and pitched through the entirety as she struck out six batters, conceded only one extra base hit and didn't give up any runs in the shutout. She earned her seventh win of the season and pitched her second career complete game.
Florida State will head to Louisville for a three-game weekend series with first pitch set for 6 p.m. on Friday and available to stream on ACC Network Extra.
