Seminoles Advance in Dramatic Fashion
Monday, 20 May 2013 08:51 | Written by Seminoles.com |
After falling in the first game by a 3-0 score, the Seminoles (44-17) were down 6-1 in the elimination contest with two outs in the bottom of the seventh. With senior Morgan Bullock on second base, Bailey Schinella drew a walk and freshman Alex Kossoff singled to third base, which was followed by an errant throw to first base to score Bullock and cut the deficit to 6-2. Continuing the comeback was Kaitlin Allen, who drew a necessary walk on a full-count pitch to load the bases for junior Kelly Hensley, who was the game-tying run at the plate. Hensley swung on a 1-1 offering from South Alabama's Hannah Campbell (22-9) and belted the tying grand slam on a ball that landed off the scoreboard in left center. Hensley's 13th home run of the season gave the Seminoles new life.

"It's a great indication of how the program is truly developing," FSU head coachJimbo Fisher said regarding leading the nation with 11 draftees. "I think it shows we're getting back to national prominence. Our players are doing a great job of representing themselves on and off the field leading to chances at the next level. I think we're going to have more guys sign free agent contracts and get a chance to play professionally. I'm proud of those guys as well. I'm happy for all of these guys and want to thank them for helping return this program back to the national spotlight." The Seminoles also led the nation with the most players selected. LSU and Alabama each had nine players taken while Georgia and Florida finished with eight players drafted. The 11 Seminoles chosen eclipse the previous record of 10 set in the 1995 NFL Draft. FSU also matched the ACC record, which Miami carried from the 2002 draft with 11 selections.

But UVa has won three of the last four games against the Noles on their home turf including consecutive series victories in 2009 & 2011. Prior to 2009, FSU had not dropped a series at UVa winning seven straight. In 2012, Florida State swept Virginia at home as the `Noles used a pair of three-run eighth innings in games two and three to complete the come-from-behind wins. UVa got its revenge at the ACC Tournament shutting out FSU 7-0 during pool play in Greensboro. Despite the regular sweep last year, Virginia has held the upper hand in the series as of late winning seven of the last 12 games including four straight wins over FSU at the ACC Tournament.
