There’s no pound for the Bulldogs, Gators go home

The Florida Gators waved goodbye to Katie Seashole Pressly Stadium, Georgia, and their seniors Saturday.
The regular season co-SEC Champion Gators (45-11) hadn’t dropped a series all season. On Saturday, they dropped their second Super Regional matchup again
The teams: No. 1 Oklahoma vs. No. 16 Washington
What to watch for: The Sooners are one of the most explosive, dangerous offenses in the country. They rank No. 1 in the country in home runs, slugging, batting average and more. They showed it this past weekend with 24 runs scored against Wichita State and production from their entire lineup. They hit six home runs in the regional finals. Nicole Mendes had a seven-RBI performance on Friday, and freshman Tiare Jennings has been huge. You cannot stop this offense.
But they are going up against Washington, one of the best defenses in the country, Pac-12 defensive player of the year Sis Bates and Gabbie Plain, who ranks in the top three in the country in strikeouts. This is now a different story here than what OU faced in the regionals. The Huskies took down Michigan twice to win the regional final and had an explosive fourth inning offensively in game seven with seven runs scored in one inning.
Corrick came into the game having only yielded one run over three games. It was Hannah Adam’s walk-off RBI double from Friday night’s first-round meeting that challenged Corrick.
Florida Takes Early Lead
At the top of the fourth, Charla Echols and Kendyl Lindaman hit back-to-back singles. Soon after, catcher Julia Cottrill sent an RBI double to the back of the left field. This was the first run that Corrick gave up in 23 innings.
The Gators went on to load the bases in the sixth inning, but Corrick kept things close by giving Adams an out on a ground ball to the end the inning. However, Cottrill put the Gators up 2-0 with a solo homer in the sixth inning.
