Softball

Staying on the diamond, while the baseball team is away, the No. 8 Gators softball team (37-9, 9-6) is set for a home series against No. 22 Alabama (30-16, 7-8). The series has the potential to be Florida’s first SEC series victory at home this season. The Gators are also chasing a fifth overall SEC series victory for the season.

Florida fell to Ole Miss in its most recent game after winning the first two games of the series in Oxford. With key players and even a recent SEC Player of the Week, Mia Williams, UF is ready to get the winning energy rolling again.

The Gators will play at Katie Seashole Pressly Stadium against Alabama today at 6 p.m. (SEC Network+) , Friday at 6 p.m. (SEC Network) and Saturday at 2 p.m. (ESPN2).
