TAMPA, FLA. April 6, 2021 – The University of South Florida softball team will travel to Gainesville, Fla. for the rematch of an opening-weekend doubleheader against the Florida Gators. First pitch in game one is scheduled for 5 p.m.
The Bulls lost both meetings to begin the 2021 season. Florida took game one, 6-3, before their offense powered them to a 15-0 win in five innings in game two.
South Florida is coming off a 3-1 weekend in its first road trip of the year. The Bulls won the series against Houston behind a great weekend from AnaMarie Bruni (Schwenksville, Pa.), who was later named to the American Athletic Conference honor roll, and another shutout weekend from Georgina Corrick (Sanford, Fla.), who was named AAC Pitcher of the week after extending her streak of innings without allowing an earned run to 62.1.
Opponent
Florida, who is currently ranked No. 5 by both the USA Today/NFCA Poll and the ESPN/USA Softball poll, sits at 27-4 on the year. It's coming off a 2-1 series against the No. 20 Georgia Bulldogs.
The Gators are led on offense by Hannah Adams, who is hitting at a .455/.525/.667 slash with five home runs and 26 RBIs. In the circle, Elizabeth Hightower has handled the most innings for Florida, tossing a 1.33 ERA and a 0.73 WHIP.
