Florida softball won a late-night thriller on Thursday against the Oklahoma State Sooners in the opening round of bracket play of the Women’s College World Series, 1-0.
Outfielder Katie Kistler blasted a solo home run in the fifth inning that broke up a no-hitter while ace pitcher Keagan Rothrock threw a two-hit masterpiece in her WCWS debut. That lone run was enough for the Gators to earn their 13th in the last 14 games, but more importantly, moving them into the winner’s bracket of the eight-team tournament field.
Get a gander at highlights from the Orange and Blue’s epic victory in the opening game of the WCWS.
