Florida softball isn’t done yet.
Faced with the daunting task of needing to win two straight games against Oklahoma, which had won its last 20 NCAA Tournament games heading into Monday, the Gators made a statement after a lengthy weather delay with a 9-3 victory over the Sooners to force a decisive game that was postponed to Tuesday.
Florida was led by Skylar Wallace and Reagan Walsh who had seven of the Gators’ nine runs driven in (three and four, respectively). Ace Keagan Rothrock threw a complete game and allowed three runs on seven hits with three strikeouts, all despite seven walks.
Florida got to both Nicole May and Kierston Deal over the course of the game, with both Oklahoma pitches struggling to miss Gator bats.
Florida now enters a winner-take-all game against Oklahoma to be played Tuesday as it looks to make its first WCWS final since 2017. The winners of two Women’s College World Series (2014, 2015), Florida is seeking a chance to play either Texas or Stanford for a chance at its third.
