Florida Gators softball dominates Michigan behind Barnhill

Florida Gators softball reportTAMPA, Fla. - Behind three singles, three runs scored and one RBI from freshman Amanda Lorenz, No. 1 Florida blanked No. 2 Michigan, 8-0 (5 innings), on the second day of its season at the USF Wilson-DeMarini Tournament. This was the first time in the 18-game history of the UF-UM series that the Gators run-ruled the Wolverines.With the win, Florida continued a unique trend that has been going on since 2009. Every NCAA Champion since that time has won its first rematch with its Women's College World Series Championship Series opponent since Washington, who beat the Gators in the 2009, but then fell to UF in its first meeting since a few years later.
