CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – The University of Virginia softball team will host 21st-ranked Florida State Tuesday (April 30) in an Atlantic Coast Conference doubleheader beginning at 1:00 p.m. at The Park. The doubleheader marks the final home games for UVa’s Erin Allinder (Norco, Calif./Norco), Kelly McCabe (Maple Glen, Pa./Upper Dublin), and Kristen Dennis (Encinitas, Calif./La Costa Canyon). The doubleheader will also serve as StrikeOut Cancer Day.
