Kerr hits two HRs while Danley, Widra combine for FSU's shutout of UF

FSU athletics

The night began with Florida State fans giving Lonni Alameda a standing ovation.

Jahni Kerr hit a three-run home run and added a solo shot later in the game as the No. 10 FSU softball team, playing its first game since Alameda went public with her breast cancer diagnosis, defeated No. 2 Florida 4-0 on Wednesday evening.

Ashtyn Danley and Annabelle Widra combined on the four-hitter for FSU (34-5), which won its 14th straight game.

Danley battled out of tough situations throughout, beginning by loading the bases with one out in the first before she struck out back-to-back hitters. She stranded runners in every inning, and departed in the fifth with a 3-0 lead after issuing a hit and a walk.

But Widra shut the door, getting help from a double play where Hallie Wacaser charged in and snared the ball before firing it to second. She then pitched a 1-2-3 sixth inning and a 1-2-3 seventh inning as Widra didn't allow a hit in her three innings.

Florida dropped to 33-6.
