The No. 9 Gators fended off a sweep by the No. 14 Missouri Tigers with a one-hitter by starting pitcher Keagan Rothrock.
It was Rothrock’s third complete game one-hitter and 18th win of the season. She threw seven innings with zero earned runs, one walk and three strikeouts, but Mizzou (33-11, 7-8 SEC) scored an unearned run after a passed ball and RBI groundout.
The Tigers got on the board in the sixth inning, but not before the Gators (35-9, 10-5 SEC) secured a lead in the second inning.
Ava Brown went yard for the tenth time on a two-run blast to center field in her first at bat.
The Gators claimed another run when Jocelyn Erickson hit an RBI single to score Skylar Wallace.
Florida will be back in Gainesville to host No. 23 South Carolina for a three-game series this weekend.
