The Rattlers finished the 2023 season 20-24, but it was the team\u2019s in-conference play that secured them the No. 3 seed in the <a href=\"https:\/\/swac.org\/news\/2023\/5\/7\/swac-announces-softball-tournament-seedings-and-opening-round-match-ups.aspx\" class=\"Link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Southwestern Athletic Conference Tournament<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>After coming up short the last two seasons, the Rattlers are hoping to finish the year off strong with their first SWAC title. FAMU has four returning players who received preseason All-SWAC honors. But will that be enough to get them over the postseason hump?<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"Enh\" data-align-center>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>The Rattlers will face <a href=\"https:\/\/texastech.com\/sports\/softball\" class=\"Link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Texas Tech<\/a> on Friday, in what will be the first game of the season. FAMU will then host the <a href=\"https:\/\/seminoles.com\/sports\/softball\/schedule\" class=\"Link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Florida State Seminoles<\/a> on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>Both games will be double-headers, which means fans will get two games back-to-back.
