UF’s Bats Go Cold Against Georgia to Force Game 3 in NCAA Softball Super Regional
- On May 24, 2025, Georgia defeated Florida 2-1 in Game 2 of the NCAA softball Super Regional at Gainesville, forcing a deciding Game 3.
- Florida’s inability to capitalize with runners in scoring position, finishing 1 for 15 and leaving 13 baserunners stranded, contributed to their loss.
- Georgia's pitcher Lilli Backes allowed seven hits and struck out eight but settled in after a bases-loaded jam, while Florida's Keagan Rothrock struggled early and exited after two home runs.
- Korbe Otis went 2 for 3 and reflected that a single hit could have turned the game in their favor, while Coach Tim Walton commented that the team struggled with their swings more than usual, resulting in numerous missed opportunities at the plate.
- The loss sets up a do-or-die third game Sunday at Gainesville, where Florida, 6-0 in Game 3s, will seek offensive success to advance to their 13th Women's College World Series under Coach Walton.
