FSU stops Georgia to advance to Super Regional



ATHENS, Ga. - Melissa May pitched a three-hit shutout and Yuruby Alicart hit a third-inning solo homer to carry Florida State to a 2-0 victory over Georgia Sunday, sending the Seminoles to the NCAA Softball Super Regionals.

Georgia (54-15) had forced a second game with a 3-1 victory earlier Sunday behind the pitching of Kasi Carroll (30-7), who was the pitcher of record in both games.

FSU (44-28) got its other run in the seven inning when Carey Galuppi scored from first on a hit and two errors.

In the first game, FSU broke on top in the first on a sacrifice fly by Veronica Wootson.

Georgia took the lead with a two-run sixth, with Victoria Sanders scoring the tying run on Chelsea Cantillo's infield single before Megan McAllister delivered a sacrifice fly. Kelly Middleton's based-loaded RBI single in the seventh drove in the final run for the Lady Bulldogs.
