Monday, February 10, 2025 | Softball
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The No. 3/2 Florida softball team will welcome Jacksonville and Stetson to Katie Seashole Pressly Stadium for a pair of back-to-back in-state midweek match ups on Tuesday and Wednesday.
First pitch is set for 6 p.m. for both games on SEC Network +.
Florida (6-0) is coming off an undefeated first week of competition, tallying wins against North Florida, Illinois State, RV/No. 22 Michigan, USF, Delaware and Georgia Southern.
The Gators outscored their first six opponents 53-8, hitting .392 as a team. Seven different Florida players hit a combined 13 home runs, including five from reigning SEC Co-Freshman of the Week Taylor Shumaker alone.
In the circle, Keagan Rothrock (3-0), Ava Brown (2-0) and Kara Hammock (1-0) each picked up victories, allowing just seven earned runs in 35 innings pitched as a staff.
Brown and Rothrock each twirled back-to-back complete-game shutouts against Georgia Southern and USF, respectively.
It was the fifth of Brown's career and seventh for Rothrock.
