The Florida softball program won its sixth SEC championship on Sunday following a 6-1 victory over the Missouri Tigers.
The 46-12 Gators hit five home runs against the 43-15 Tigers.
Florida took the lead in the bottom of the second inning, with Mia Williams hitting a three-run home run.
In the third, Korbe Otis hit her team-leading fifth triple to kick off the inning. SEC All-Tournament MVP Skylar Wallace then drove a grounder to second to allow Otis to run home extend Florida’s lead to 4-0.
The Orange and Blue went on to extent their lead to 6-1 following Wallace’s third home run of the tournament.
The Gators settled in on defense and held the Tigers to just one hit over the final two innings.
Pitcher Keagan Rothrock held Missouri to just six hits over seven innings. She allowed only two walks and threw six strikeouts.
All Florida has to do now is wait to find out their placement in the NCAA Division I Softball Championship bracket. It will take place during the Selection Show that will air live on ESPN2 at 7 p.m.
