With two outs in the bottom of the fifth inning, Florida softball player Kendyl Lindaman got a rising fastball and hit a high fly ball over the leftfield fence. With two runners on base, Lindaman’s three-run home run extended the Gator lead to 4-0 in the bottom of the fifth. Although Elizabeth Hightower kept Florida State off the board in the circle, Lindaman’s home run gave the Gators important insurance runs to help the team outlast the Seminoles 5-0.
“It felt great,” Lindaman said. “We needed more insurance runs and our pitchers have been dealing every single day. Just giving them the confidence as well as our hitters and I just wanted to make sure we had enough insurance runs to win tonight.”
