Florida State softball star Kennedy Harp lost to season-ending injury
With the postseason beginning this week, the Florida State softball team has announced that star outfielder Kennedy Harp will be out for the year after sustaining an injury against Louisville on April 27.
Harp, who hails from Lawrenceville, Ga., has been a big part of the Seminoles’ success this year. The sophomore is currently second on the team in batting average at .412, leads the team in runs batted in with 49 and also leads in slugging percentage at .765.
She has also scored 56 runs this season and bashed nine home runs.
“I’m definitely disappointed by the situation, but I’m staying positive and focused on what I can control,” Harp said in a statement from Florida State. “While I may not be able to contribute on the field right now, I’m fully committed to supporting my team in every way possible from the sidelines. I’m incredibly thankful for all the love, encouragement and well wishes I’ve received. It truly means a lot. This journey isn’t over.
“I’m already putting in the work to come back stronger, and I’m determined to be the best version of myself by the start of next season.”
Florida State Softball clinched the ACC regular-season championship this past weekend by beating Virginia Tech in two out of three games in Blacksburg, Va.
