14-Run Inning Lifts No. 6 Softball Past Jacksonville
Tuesday, February 10, 2026 | Softball
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The No. 6 Florida softball team picked up its first midweek win of the season on Tuesday night, slugging its way to a 20-0 five-inning victory over Jacksonville at Pruitt Softball Complex.
With the win, the Gators improve to 6-0 to start the young 2026 season.
14 of Florida's 20 runs came in the third inning alone, the most runs the Gators have scored in a single inning since Feb. 15, 2014, when Florida scored 15 against Ohio State.
Four Gator pitchers contributed in the circle, with starting pitcher Ava Brown (2-0) picking up her second win with a three-inning shutout performance.
Florida is now 32-0 against the Dolphins in the all-time series and 13-0 in Jacksonville.
NOTABLES:
The Gators are set to open their home schedule on Wednesday at 6 p.m. in a rematch against the Dolphins. The game will air on SEC Network+.
