The No. 12 Florida State Seminoles softball team is set to play the North Carolina Tar Heels on Friday at JoAnne Graf Field. If you are wondering how to watch the action live, you have come to the right place.
FSU (36-7, 12-3 ACC) saw its 25-game winning streak come to a close last week, getting swept by the Stanford Cardinal, losing its first ACC series of the season. That has caused them to fall into the hosting bubble for the NCAA Tournament, something they can change with a strong close to the season.
The offense is hitting .361 and scoring 7.9 runs per game. Isa Torres is hitting .583 with 10 home runs and 42 RBI at the top of the lineup. The pitching staff has a 3.23 ERA in 268 1.3 innings, allowing 128 runs on 236 hits and 126 walks with 233 strikeouts.
It is FSU’s final home series of the season and is Senior Weekend. They will honor seniors Madi Frey and Makenna Reid ahead of Sunday’s game, as well as the senior managers and graduate assistants prior to Saturday’s game.
