LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The No. 7 Florida State Softball team (42-7, 16-2) fell to Louisville (24-23, 7-12), 2-0, on Sunday night at Ulmer Stadium in Louisville, Kentucky. FSU still sits on top of the ACC standings with three games to play and will need to just one win next weekend at No. 14 Virginia Tech to secure the program’s 15th ACC Regular Season Championship and earn the No. 1 seed in the ACC Tournament on May 7-10. 

Louisville got on the board in the first as they hit a fly ball that was lost in the sun to put a runner on third with one out. The Cards executed a squeeze bunt to put a run on the board. Louisville added an unearned run in the fourth to extend its lead to two. 

The Noles had a good opportunity to put a run on the board in the second inning as Katie Dack singled, and she beat out the throw to second on a fielder’s choice to put runners on first and second with no outs. The Noles were unable to capitalize, stranding a runner on third. 

Makenna Reid got the start for the Noles and gave up one run on one hit in two innings of work while striking out two. Ashtyn Danley came in and was terrific, going four innings and allowing just two hits while striking out five. 

The Noles will be back in action next week at No. 14 Virginia Tech. Game one on Friday is set for 6 p.m.
