Another Florida freshman has exceeded all expectations and thrown her second no-hitter of this young season for the No. 13 Gators.
Keagan Rothrock no-hit Cal State Fullerton (10-7) on 66 pitches. She recorded four strikeouts and one walk, a batter who was then caught stealing by Jocelyn Erickson.
She completed five innings because the game ended due to the mercy-run rule.
The Gators offense took its hot streak all the way to the West Coast for the weekend.
It broke away and scored nine runs in the top of the fourth inning against the Titans, and three players hit multiple-run home runs in that frame.
Ava Brown and Skylar Wallace totaled a combined five runs for the Gators (17-2). Brown scored two on a two-out shot before Wallace blasted one out of the park to score three on her fifth home run of the season.
Florida beat the Cal State Fullerton 9-0.
The runs kept pouring on in game two against Long State Beach. The Gators totaled 15 runs on 10 hits through five innings.
In her seventh win, Brown kept LBSU at bay and threw a shutout game with the help of relievers Olivia Miller and Mackenzie Wooten.
Erickson hit a three RBI double put the Gators up early in the first.
The Gators tacked on three more runs in the second. In the third, Kendra Falby broke this one open with an RBI single. Patient at the plate, Korbe Otis and Wallace each drew walks to score a Gator baserunner in the third.
Mia Williams hit her first career home run to add on two more and record the game’s final runs.
Florida totaled nine runs through the last three innings and beat Long Beach 15-0.
Next, Florida plays No. 18 UCLA Friday at 5:30 p.m. and DePaul at 8 p.m.
