Florida Softball Hosts LSU Tigers

The No. 5 Florida softball team hosts the No. 14 LSU Tigers Friday night to kick-off a weekend series.

The Gators (42-7, 15-3 SEC) will look to extend their win streak to six games against the Tigers (36-11, 9-8 SEC) that began in 2015. In 2015, the Gators handily beat the Tigers 5-0 in the Women’s College World Series after losing the regular season series 2-1. Then, in 2016, Florida swept the three game series. And in 2017, the Tim Walton led Gators handled business in the World Series again to the tune of 7-0. Needless to say, LSU will be more than eager to end their drought Friday night. The Tigers are coming in fresh off of a 4-0 win over South Alabama and a 2-1 series win over the Texas A&M Aggies.
