Lead Story

Through four ACC games, Florida State softball remains perfect. The sixth-ranked Seminoles kicked off a 3-game series in Durham on Friday night with a 4-1 win over No. 14 Duke.

The teams combined for just eight hits, but the biggest one was a 2-run home run off the bat of FSU’s Michaela Edenfield in the second inning. Mack Leonard and Katie Dack added RBI singles in the fourth and fifth innings, respectively, for FSU.

In the circle, Kathryn Sandercock and Makenna Reid combined to allow just a run on three hits. Gisele Tapia drove in the only run for the Blue Devils in the loss.

With the victory, FSU moved to 25-6 on the season. The teams will square off again on Saturday at 1 p.m. ET.
