A special report from the UAA on the Florida Gators softball team:
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – No. 5 Florida defeated Western Kentucky, 5-2, Saturday afternoon at Katie Seashole Pressly Stadium. UF turned in five extra-base hits, which included home runs from
Julia Cottrill to help secure the win.
The Gators’ (30-4) first game against the Hilltoppers (15-6) started with a 20-pitch at-bat between right-handed UF starter
Elizabeth Hightower (14-2) and leadoff WKU batter Paige Carter. Hightower won the first meeting between the two as she forced Carter to groundout to Echols at third and then finished the frame to retire the next two batters rather quickly.

Western Kentucky Starters
How it Happened
A game of runs did not end in Rhode Island’s favor, as the Rams fell, 68-65, at Western Kentucky Sunday afternoon.
Western Kentucky (5-2) scored the first nine points of the game as Rhode Island (3-4) missed its first six shots and had four turnovers in the opening 5:22. D.J. Johnson hit a 3-pointer 5:37 into the game to get the Rams in the board, though Western Kentucky responded with a bucket to open an 11-3 lead.
After starting 1-of-10 from the floor, the Rams hit eight of their next 11 shots. Fatts Russell got Rhode Island going with a steal and coast-to-coast drive for a layup. The play started a 6-0 run that also included a Jermaine Harris drive and a pretty turnaround fade-away baseline jumper from Jalen Carey to get back within two points.
