Special report on the Florida Gators softball team:
College Station, Texas – No. 6 Florida picked up the series sweep of Texas A&M behind a 4-1 victory in the series finale Sunday afternoon at Davis Diamond.
The Gators (36-9, 9-6 SEC) picked up a complete-game performance from senior right-hander Kelly Barnhill (24-5) in the circle. The Marietta, Ga. native carried a no-hitter in the bottom of the seventh inning and it wasn’t until then that the Aggies (25-18, 3-12 SEC) were also able to score a run.
UF scored first in the third inning of play and took a 4-0 lead over Texas A&M thanks to a two-out rally that was started by Hannah Sipos and Amanda Lorenz. Lorenz produced an RBI double to right center that scored Sipos to start the rally and it was capped by a two-run home run by junior Jordan Roberts.
Offensively, Lorenz and Hannah Sipos turned in multi-hit performances for the Gators, while Roberts led the team with a pair of RBI.
