Softball Slugs Its Way to Midweek Win Over Stetson

DELAND, Fla. – The No. 6/8 Florida softball team earned its second run-rule win over Stetson this season on Wednesday night, downing the Hatters, 13-5, at Patricia Wilson Field.

All nine of Florida's starters reached base, with seven Gators tallying at least one hit.

Korbe Otis, Cahalan and Erickson each had multi-RBI outings, while Walsh drove in a team-best three runs.

In the circle, Olivia Miller (4-0) picked up her fourth win of the season, pitching 2.1 scoreless innings, allowing just one hit, no walks and tallying two strikeouts.

The Gators (35-8) have now run-ruled Stetson (20-23) in four straight meetings.
