TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – The No. 5/8 Florida softball team (43-7) fell to No. 10/13 Florida State (40-7), 3-1, on Wednesday evening at JoAnne Graf Field.
Taylor Shumaker gave the Gators the early lead with a solo blast to right field in the top of the first. It was her 4th leadoff home run and 15th total of the year.
Jocelyn Erickson had Florida's sole multi-hit outing, going 2-for-4 with a pair of singles, her 21st multi-hit game of the season.
Despite tallying seven hits, the Florida offense was unable to record timely hits, leaving eight on base, including six in scoring position.
