Florida State softball is coming off a historic weekend at, previously No. 4 Clemson. A sweep of the Tigers has the Seminoles back in the top 5, and back into heavy favorites to host regionals and super regionals. But before that, they will focus on the Jacksonville Dolphins in Tallahassee.
On the season, the Dolphins are 18-20 overall, and 4-8 in the ASUN conference. Against Power 5 opponents this season, they are 0-6 with games against Syracuse, Florida, and Clemson. In addition, former Seminole Madison Kennedy will return to Tallahassee. Before joining JU for the 2019 season, Kennedy claimed a national championship with the Seminoles in 2018.
Dolphins Offense
With the bat, they are led by Madison Reynolds. In 38 games, Reynolds is a .358 hitter who has 22 runs scored, 39 H, 9 2B, 22 RBI and 17 BB. She is also the leading Dolphin in stolen bases, with a 9-10 record between the bags.
While Jacksonville is not a big power team, Allison Bratek is the leading homerun hitter. With a .239 batting average, 21 R, 22 H, 2 2B, 6 HR, 18 RBI, and 17 BB.
