TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (seminoles.com) – The Florida State softball team plays in its first NCAA Super Regional since 2006 as it heads to Austin, Texas to compete against the fourth-seeded University of Texas beginning Friday, May 24 in a nationally-televised two-day event on ESPNU.
The Seminoles (44-17) and Longhorns (47-8) square off on Friday at 9 p.m. ET, followed by two Saturday contests at 3 p.m. ET and 6 p.m. ET that also air on ESPNU. The third game will only be played if both teams split their first two contests.
Florida State’s miraculous 7-6 comeback victory over South Alabama on Sunday evening in the Mobile Regional elimination game punched its ticket to Austin to face the Big 12 challenger. The Seminoles faced a 6-1 deficit in the bottom of the seventh inning with two outs before stringing together a few improbable hits to clinch its super regional bid.
All-session reserved seats at Red & Charline McCombs Field are $25, while all-session general admission is $20. If available, single-session tickets will go on sale Wednesday, May 22 at 9 a.m.
All-session tickets include admission to all three games of the NCAA Super Regional and may be purchased online at TexasSports.com, by phone at 800-982-BEVO or in person at the UT Athletics Ticket Office in Bellmont Hall (9 a.m.-4 p.m. Central).
