Now 6-1. I love how the announcer sees the ball go off her bat and just says "Oh boy"
Here was her first dinger.

Didn't even look like much, but it was a line drive over the center field wall.

I said it last year too, but Kern has a textbook beautiful swing.

Florida State is ranked #5 and is 12-0 in the ACC. Stanford has had the lead for much of the game, but FSU just tied it up, now 2-2 top of the 6th.

3 run home run on the bottom of the sixth with two outs. Apparently Kern swings at a first pitch 1 out of every 25 at bats; she made this one count.

Here’s the homer.

Kern is incredible. A smash. Houston is now healthy to we hope close it out

Runners on 1st and 2nd for FSU with only 1 out. Coach Allister pulling Alyssa Houston and putting Zoe Prystajko back in. Nervous time...
FSU is at #2 in the batting order, so Zoe will have to beat their best.
Another 4-pitch walk. Bases loaded.
HBP ruled on a video overturn. Now 5-3 Stanford, bases loaded, still one out. Zoe being pulled and now it's up to freshman Anna Brewer. Facing FSU's cleanup hitter.
Bases clearing double on a 3-2 pitch. FSU leading 6-5.

Crazy that I have followed baseball for over 30 years and only today, reading about a softball game, did I realize that a passed ball is not charged as an error.
