Special report on the Florida Gators softball team:
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – No. 8 Florida split a pair of games during day two of the Bubly Invitational as Rylee Trlicek hurled a no-hitter in the, 8-0 (5 inning), win over Mercer, but UF then fell, 1-0, to RV/No. 24 Louisiana Saturday afternoon at Katie Seashole Pressly Stadium.
Trlicek’s no-hitter in the Gators (17-4) first game of the day against the Bears (6-17) was the second of the left-hander’s career. The Hallettsville, Texas native retired 15 of the 16 batters faced on just 51 pitches.
The lone baserunner to reach was a leadoff walk issued to the first batter of the game and from that point forward Trlicek let the Florida defense work behind her as she induced 10 groundouts, a flyout, a lineout, a popup and a helped her own cause with a pair of strikeouts.
