Stanford Softball Stuns FSU, Eyes Revenge in ACC Semis
8 May
Summary
- Stanford softball secured an eighth-inning walk-off win against Louisville.
- The Cardinal previously swept Florida State on their home turf in April.
- Stanford has won 15 consecutive games heading into the semifinal matchup.
Stanford softball clinched a spot in the ACC Championship semifinals with a dramatic eighth-inning walk-off victory over No. 25 Louisville on Thursday. The Cardinal's impressive streak now stands at 15 consecutive wins, extending back to their sweep of Florida State in April.
This upcoming semifinal clash against No. 1 Florida State carries significant revenge motivation for the Seminoles, who were swept by Stanford on their home turf earlier this season. Stanford's dominance over FSU athletics this academic year has been notable, with softball adding to football, women's basketball, baseball, golf, and beach volleyball victories.
Florida State, boasting a 47-8 season record, saw their only conference losses come against Stanford. Despite their strong home record, FSU's performance at neutral sites, where they hold a 3-2 record, could be a factor. Both teams feature key pitchers, Jazzy Francik for FSU and Zoe Prystajko for Stanford, who have been instrumental, though they struggled against the opposing lineup in their April series.
