I've added some quotes to the story from Coach Alameda as well as postgame video interview.

And, yes, I did ask about Makenna Reid but again Alameda is offering up day-to-day response.

Either one will have to us twice correct?

 

[Bob Ferrante]

Yes. FSU is unbeaten and needs just one win on Sunday. UCF or Auburn would need two wins over FSU (Auburn or UCF will emerge from this late 10:30 pm start on Saturday night).

Auburn got by UCF 2-1 in the 12th, at right about 3am.

Gonna be a rough day for them.

Our reward if we get it done today? At Oklahoma, assuming they don’t do the improbable and drop two to Oregon today.

Did I see correctly that Auburns pitcher Maddie Penta threw all 12 innings last night and threw well over 200 pitches?
I know she is pretty darn good but, that is a lot of pitches when you are playing again 25 hours later.

Both pitchers were over 200 I believe. Was ridiculous.

Sounds cliche, but that’s one where it SUCKS to see either team lose. Outstanding effort on both sides.

Don't think we should see her today.

FSU-Auburn pushed to Sunday at 6 p.m.

...And now she's warming up in the pen.
