No. 6 Gators Shut Out No. 4 Seminoles in Fresh from Florida Sunshine Showdown

TALLAHASSEE, Fla – No. 6 Florida shut out No. 4 Florida State, 4-0, in the second installment of  Fresh from Florida Sunshine Showdown at JoAnne Graf Field Wednesday night.
 
The Gators (37-9) picked up a complete-game performance in the circle from senior right-hander Kelly Barnhill (25-6). The Marietta, Ga. native only gave up a pair of hits to the Seminoles (38-8) in the effort.
 
The scoring began in the fourth, UF struck for three runs thanks to Jordan Matthews (1-for-3) and Hannah Adams (3-for-3), who produced RBI base hits that were initially set up by a Kendyl Lindaman walk and Jordan Roberts (2-for-4) single.
 
After the bases were loaded once more in the inning, FSU's Makinzy Herzog (6-2) was relieved by Kathryn Sandercock. Sandercock managed to get the Seminoles out of the jam and stop the Gators rally after she forced an unconventional 6-2-5 double play, but the damage was already done.
 
Florida went on to tack on one more run in the seventh to extend the lead out to 4-0 and secure the game. Amanda Lorenz
