FSU sports information:
The No. 18 Florida State softball team (25-9, 7-2) defeated the McNeese Cowgirls (23-14, 8-1) 12-0 in five innings in a midweek matchup at JoAnne Graf Field. FSU has won seven straight and also ended McNeese's eight-game winning streak. It was the first time McNeese had been run-ruled in five innings all season after playing the likes of Oklahoma, LSU and Baylor.
The Seminole offense got off to another hot start as Kaley Mudge hit a triple into deep right field and was brought home on a sacrifice fly by Kalei Harding to give the Noles a 1-0 lead after the first inning.
After a scoreless second inning, Devyn Flaherty reached on a single and Kalei Harding walked to put two runners on base for Michaela Edenfield with two outs. Edenfield homered into deep-right, getting two RBI's and giving the Noles a four-run lead. Their dominance continued next inning with Kennedy Harp, who homered into left field to give the Seminoles another run to put them up 5-0.
Keeping the bats hot at the bottom of the fourth, Harding hit a ground ball that bounced off the second baseman's glove to bring two runs across. With runners on the corners, the Noles put on a double steal to add another run to make it 8-0. Edenfield continued her hot night with a double down the right field line to score Harding to extend the Noles lead. Jahni Kerr then hit her fifth home run of the season to blow the game completely open to give the Noles a 12-0 lead after four. It is the 10th time this season this season that FSU has scored 10 or more runs, and it is also the seventh consecutive game that FSU has scored eight or more runs which is the longest streak since the 2019 season.
Makenna Reid, who is now 9-1, had a very impressive game with two strikeouts in 4.1 innings allowing four hits but not allowing a single run. Mimi Gooden came on in the fifth and recorded the final two outs.
FSU will conclude their series with McNeese on Wednesday at 8 p.m. on the ACC Network.
