It had to end as dramatically as possible.
It was the end of this Gainesville Super Regional between Florida and Texas A&M, after all, a collection of three games that showcased the utterly mesmerizing drama and heart-stopping reversals of fortune that can be the story of college softball.
And so it had to end with the senior and the senior and the unthinkable.
Right?
Before then, things were going far more predictably — at least, predictably by the standards established prior to this wild weekend in Gainesville.
Florida got two-out RBI singles from in the fourth and fifth innings from Hannah Adams and Janell Wheaton to build a 2-0 lead over A&M — and, yes, the scuffling Gators offense could probably have made it a bigger one.
