    Completely plagiarized from the baseball side (props to candymanfromgc)....but this is UF softball questions only.

    I thought I would put this out there and see the response level. It's UF SOFTBALL trivia.
    Rules
    1. A question is posted and whoever gets it right then post their own trivia question.
    2. No internet for looking up the answers. Honor system.
    3. Keep it to one per day.
    4. Person who posted question must come back on and announce the winner.
    5. Yeah, I know, we will screw it up.
    6. Don't like it, don't play.
    7. If there is little response, we will close the thread.

    7/25: First question: Which UF softball player is most likely to put her bat under her chin and adjust her batting gloves?

    Correct! One point for oragator1 (who must wait one question before guessing again)

    7/26: Second question: Which two softball players would never step foot on the field without hugging each other first.

    Winner! (didn't know about Delaney's pregnancy -- cool). That must have been a hard one since no one even agreed with you. Today's a little easier, I think:

    Today's question: the sister of two UF players was involved in handshake-gate. Name the family.

    10 pts for first correct answer, 5 pts for agreeing with correct answer, 0 pts for wrong answer, 0 pts for agreeing with wrong answer.

    Winner!!

    Today's question: Probably the most exciting Super Regionals ever.

    Game One: UF losing 4-3 in the bottom of the seventh, two outs. UF gets walk, then another runner on due to opponent error (which otherwise would have ended the game since there were two outs). Now bases loaded. Another walk to tie game. Then yet another walk for the winning run. Walk-off walk for UF win.

    Game two: UF loses

    Game three: Deciding game for trip to WCWS: Heading into the seventh, UF up by two runs, 0-2. Crowd pretty excited because opponent has not scored all game and just three outs left for a trip to the WCWS.

    But opponent scores three runs in the top of the seventh so now UF down one run. Bottom of the seventh, we get two runners on, but down to our last out, and batter has two strikes. One more strike and the season is over. Batter fouls off three, then hits home run. UF wins for trip to WCWS.

    Name the year, the opponent, and the walk-off home run hitter.

    Sweetpotato2 is correct. And the losing pitcher left her shoes on home plate and that was the LAST game ever at the old KSP.
