Harding hit a two-run homer in the third inning off Oklahoma starter Nicole May, who gave up seven runs in three and third innings. Harding’s two-run double in the fourth inning made it 4-0, and Sherrill — who hails from neighboring Moore, Oklahoma — drove in two more runs in the five-run inning.
In the bottom of the eighth, Sherrill threw out Oklahoma’s Tiare Jennings at the plate to preserve the Seminoles’ four-run lead. In the seventh inning, the Seminoles got an odd insurance run. On Harding’s single, Josie Muffley was stranded at third, and Anna Shelnutt was thrown out trying to get back to second.
Muffley broke for the plate and was tagged out, but Florida State got the run thanks to an obstruction call. As a freshman, she played an important role for us.

She played in 16-17, 17-18, and 18-19 varsity softball.
