The Seminoles only won 1 game against the North Carolina Tar Heels over the weekend to open ACC play, but I’m still bullish on the Noles. Some will say that a relatively weak schedule reared it’s ugly head over the weekend, that the Noles aren’t going to win against good teams. They’ll say that FSU [...]

The Florida State Seminoles are 21-2 in 2010. That’s the best start for the softball team in a very, very long time (‘93). Nearly every starter is batting above .300 (except for the LF platoon), and Sarah Hamilton and Terese Gober are pitching at a very high level, as usual. Everything is swell for Coach [...]

I’ll be honest. I’ve hit that wall that I hit every year. I’ve hit the wall to the point that I don’t have very many coherent thoughts regarding anything FSU. I’ve also hit the wall with photography at the games. It’s really, really nice to just go and watch the game instead of watching it [...]

The FSU Softball team was in action over the weekend in Columbus, GA for the NFCA Leadoff Classic. Checking in on the stats and news I have a few thoughts:

Gametracker is useless and never works for me properly. Ever.
The loss to Illinois was a downer. Carly Wynn was 0-for-5 in the loss, and left 5 [...]

I was under the weather yesterday so these are a bit late, but late is better than never I suppose.

Tomahawk Nation has a nice recap of the weekend, and I couldn’t agree more with this statement:
Mike Martin put out what I think is his optimal lineup which featured Sherman Johnson at 3B, Justin [...]

FSU Softball
What a beautiful day down at JoAnne Graf Field. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky and it was my favorite kind of weather; comfortable with a sweatshirt on. The Noles played well, against less-than-top competition, winning both games 4-0 and 12-0. I also had a nice chat with some family members of South [...]

I wasn’t there, but Seminoles.com has a great game recap, Noles Run Over Rattlers 9-2. Nolesports.com also chimes in on the game.
What the Box Score tells me:
First, understand that a box score doesn’t tell you everything. Neither do the game recaps. But, an overall trend of FSU hitting the ball continued, as the Seminoles picked [...]

The Seminole Softball team woke up on Saturday morning and decided the balls were going to start falling for hits, instead of into opposition gloves. FSU mercy ruled Bowling Green State University, and pounded Iona in the 2nd game on Saturday. The Noles followed up that performance on Sunday with two more wins, one over [...]

The Noles couldn’t get it done in the opener Thursday night, losing to Southern Miss 2-1.
What happened? Let’s break it down it… Good, Bad and Ugly style:
The Good

The newcomers looked good, Jen Lapicki & Tory Haddad welcome to Tallahassee.
Robin Ahrberg put some hurt on a couple of balls, they just didn’t fall in.
Morgan Bullock has [...]
