Special report on the Florida Gators softball team:
COLLEGE STATION, Texas – No. 9 Florida was crowned back-to-back Southeastern Conference Tournament Champions after a 2-1 victory over No. 4 Alabama Saturday night at Davis Diamond.
The Gators (44-15) picked up another superb outing in the circle from senior right-handed pitcher Kelly Barnhill (30-11). Barnhill limited the Crimson Tide (52-7) to just a pair of hits and a run in what was the 72nd complete-game of her career.
The road to UF’s fifth overall SEC Tournament title wasn’t easy, as the Orange & Blue fell behind 1-0 in the bottom of the fourth inning.
