FSU softball (32-5, 8-0 ACC) won its 12 consecutive game and clinched the series win over the NC State Wolfpack on Saturday. The Noles needed extra innings after blowing a 4-1 lead in the top of the sixth.

Isa Torres delivered the game-winning hit with the bases loaded and one out in the bottom of the eighth for the 5-4 win. Torres had two hits, and Katie Dack had two hits, including a two-run home run.

Makenna Reid got the start and pitched two innings while allowing one hit(it should have been ruled an error) and one run(that only scored because of the hit that should have been an error). Ashtyn Danley, Jazzy Francik, and Julia Apsel pitched in relief and got the win.

The game should have never been close as FSU left several runners on base.The Noles will go for their third straight ACC sweep on Sunday.

FSU baseball's Saturday doubleheader got moved to Sunday due to inclement weather. The first game will begin at 10 a.m. and will be seven innings. The second game will be nine innings unless the first game goes into extra innings. FSU will look to overcome losing the first game in the series and continue its streak of ACC series wins. Joey Volini and Wes Mendes will start on the mound for the Noles. Volini has been lights out all year, and Mendes struggled for the first time in his last outing against Miami.

FSU basketball head coach Luke Loucks signed his first player, transfer portal player Kobe MaGee from Drexel. However,

Florida State sophomore forward Jerry Deng will enter the transfer portal. Loucks currently has five players(including MaGee), with the others entering the portal or exhausting eligibility.

Danzy won the event by over a full-second and looks poised to make his name in Track and Field. Can the running back who moved to receiver make use of that speed in Gus Malzahn's offense this fall?

FSU football had its first situational scrimmage and the offense and defense has its moments.
