Louisville Closes Regular Season with 2-1 Loss at No. 3 Florida State
May 07, 2023 | Softball
Cards wrap up the regular season with a 35-17 overall record and 16-7 mark in ACC play
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – The University of Louisville softball team wrapped up the regular season with a 2-1 loss at third-ranked Florida State Sunday afternoon at JoAnne Graf Stadium.
Â
The Cardinals (35-17, 16-7 ACC) will return to action next week when they open play in Atlantic Coast Conference Championship which will be held May 10-13 at Notre Dame's Melissa Cook Stadium.
Â
The teams played through two scoreless innings before the Seminoles (47-8, 22-2 ACC) broke through in the third with a leadoff home run by Josie Muffley. Florida State took a 2-0 lead behind a sacrifice fly by Devyn Flaherty in the fifth.
Â
The Cards got on the scoreboard in the top of the seventh when Daisy Hess led off with a triple and came home on a sacrifice fly off the bat of Hannah File to cut the lead in half.
Â
Louisville had chances to score early in the game when Lotus singled and Sarah Gordon walked to put two on in the first inning and again in third after a hit by Korbe Otis and a Florida State error put runners on the corners, but the Cards were unable to capitalize on the opportunities.Â
Alyssa Zabala (14-8) took the loss, surrendering two runs, one earned, while scattering four hits and striking out two in six innings. Korbe Otis, Easton Lotus and Hess each had a hit for the Cards.
Â
Kathryn Sandercock (21-3) picked up the win, allowing one earned run on one hit with two strikeouts in 4.1 innings. Mack Leonard went 2-for-3 with a run to lead the Seminoles at the plate.
