Special report on the Florida Gators softball team:
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The No. 1 Florida softball team defeated Winthrop, 7-0 on Wednesday night at Katie Seashole Pressly Stadium. Freshman Kelly Barnhill threw a two-hit shutout with three walks and a school-record high tying 18 strikeouts to run her record to 9-0 on the season.
Three players had multiple hits for the Gators (27-1), who bounced back after losing their first game of the season on Monday night.
Barnhill’s 18 strikeouts tied a UF single-game record that she and junior Delanie Gourley set a few weeks ago against Florida A&M.
