Special report on the Florida Gators softball team:
College Station, Texas – No. 6 Florida took the series with a convincing 8-3 win over Texas A&M on a windy Saturday evening at Davis Diamond.
The Gators (35-9, 8-6 SEC) picked up a quality start in the circle from freshman Elizabeth Hightower (3-0) and a clutch relief appearance from sophomore Natalie Lugo. Hightower hurled five innings and held the Aggies (25-17, 3-11 SEC) to just three runs, two earned, and scattered five hits.
Lugo entered in relief in the sixth with a runner on first and a 2-0 count on the batter and held off a late Texas A&M rally to secure the win.
