Anybody watch the game last night? What a mental hard fought game for them. Awesome to see a walk off home-run like that mainly with a freshman. I knew it was going to come but didn't expect Lorenz would be the one.

========================================

OF Amamda Lorenz was just named the SEC Freshman of the Week.
FYI - RHP Kelly Barnhill was the SEC Freshman of the Week (3/21)

OF Amanda Lorenz - UF Current Stats - As a Gator Freshman:
2016 - GP 41 - GS 41 - 48 Hits, 33 RBI's, 31 BB, to just 17 SO's.
Batting Ave .410 - OB% .526 - HR 4 - SLG% .598 - FLD% 1.000 (zero errors)

She is (imo) one of the Gator's 3 best with the bat in her hands so I wasn't surprised, except that it took them so long to finally put them away. Amanda is currently on pace to record the highest batting average for a freshman in UF history. :cool:
 
The Gators are ranked #1 in both Softball Polls.
They also have the #1 ranked NCAA RPI.
They are playing the #4 ranked Strength of Schedule.
And Florida still has the highest winning % in the nation at .922.
The Gators 'On Base %' is #6 in the nation at .445.
They are #2 in fielding percentage at .983.
They are #1 in team pitching ERA at 0.97 - Their 'Batting Ave. Against' is .164
UF is the only school in the nation with 3 different pitchers with at least 100 strikeouts in 2016.
D.Gourley Jr (16-3, 172 K), A.Ocasio Soph (17-1, 116 K), K.Barnhill Fr (14-0, 141 K).
* They are trying to become the 1st trio in UF history to win at least 15 games each and record 125+ strikeouts in a single season.
Gourley is there already, Ocasio needs 9 more K's, Barnhill needs one more win.

** The other end of the pitching game is catcher Aubree Munro. She hasn't had a single error in the last 2 seasons combined, and this year's UF opponents have successfully stolen a base only 3 times in their 9 attempts, 33%.
05


#1 UF (47-4) vs #5 FSU (42-5) at 5 PM today.
Florida leads the all-time series, 21-14; this includes an 11-7 advantage in Tallahassee.
Sorry, but the game is not as important as constant repeats of various Spring football games, so it won't air on either the SEC Network or on ESPN. (it will be a limited broadcast on ESPN-3)
07

This game will be UF's 8th game of the season vs a Top 5 team.
