Florida Softball swept Missouri last week, but all three games were probably closer than the Gators were hoping for. Five innings into their series opener against Kentucky, Florida was getting dragged into another close contest. The Wildcats hit a solo home run in the bottom of the 5th inning to make it 3-1 in favor of Florida.
Then Florida’s bats exploded in the 6th inning for seven runs to put Kentucky away 10-2 in six innings. In the 6th inning, Florida sent 11 batters to the plate. Jocelyn Erickson broke things open with a three-run home run, and Cassidy McLellan put Kentucky away for good with a two-run double later in the inning.
