The Florida Gators are going back to Oklahoma City. No. 3 national seed UF defeated Georgia 5-2 on Sunday in the decisive Game 3 of the Gainesville Super Regional. For Florida, it’s the 13th trip to the Women’s College World Series in program history and the 3rd time over the last 4 seasons for coach Tim Walton.
In the bottom of the 4th inning, weather delayed the action with Florida holding a 1-0 lead. Play resumed about an hour later.
Florida had a 14-hit day with 14 left on base. The Gators did enough at the plate, though, plating 4 of their 5 runs in the bottom of the 5th inning.
Rylee Holtorf made it a 3-0 contest with a 2-run home run to left field.
