The four-game series will conclude on Sunday at 10 a.m.
“I’m really excited about our fight today,” FSU head coach Lonni Alameda said. “From pitch one to last pitch of a doubleheader, I thought we put it together as a team today and it was really good to see us come back after a tough game last night, knowing that Pitt is fighting to get into the ACC Tournament. It was a team day.”
After going ahead 5-4 in the seventh inning in Game 1, the Seminoles got the bats going in Game 2, stringing together 14 runs on 12 hits, including two home runs from freshman Kalei Harding.

Florida State was paced by redshirt junior Sydney Sherrill, who hit her first home run of the season and 33
rd of her career to put the Seminoles in front 1-0 in the top of the first. Sherrill also broke a 4-4 tie after sending an RBI-double to center field in the top of the sixth.
