The Florida Gator softball team bounces back from a tough road loss at FSU to beat North Texas 8-0 in Gainesville on Friday. The Gators recorded 14 hits and eight doubles on their way to victory.
Where It Started
Delaine Gourley started in the circle and struck out four in the first two innings. Aleshia Ocasio relieved Gourley in the fifth inning. Offensively, the Gators opened the scoring in the third inning as Janell Wheaton sent in Kayli Kvistad and Nicole DeWitt with a two RBI double to make it 2-0. The Gators would hit seven doubles in all in the contest.
