Let’s face it, nobody’s beating OU.
They are playing at home and haven’t had a close game in a month

Rothrock and Kilfoyl in a heck of a pitcher’s duel. 0-0 bottom 5.

Anyone know why Florida players all have the same kind of flower in their hair? Team thing or is it in honor or memory of someone. I missed it if the commentators said anything about it.

I was able to find this
quote:
If you’ve ever watched a Florida softball game, you’ve seen the yellow sunflower each player wears in her hair. I’ve often wondered what the story is behind them, so I Googled it. What came up is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever read. The girls wear the flowers in honor of Heather, a teenager who passed away from brain cancer in 2014, according to NewsOK.com. The Friends of Jacelyn Foundation, who pairs cancer patients with sports teams, paired her with Florida’s softball team. The connection was immediate. Every time Heather went to a game, she was welcomed into the Gators’ dugout. And as she went through treatment, both players and coaches were there with texts, calls, and gifts. They lifted her up, but it soon became obvious she was a gift to them as well. Though she tragically passed away in 2014, the girls still wear sunflowers for her, and Twizzlers, one of her favorite candies, are still popular in Florida’s dugout. In Florida’s locker room, Heather has a locker which pitcher Delanie Gourley says the Gators “will never…. (take) down.” She says the teenager touched them so much, and will always be a part of the team. So now, when Florida’s softball team takes the field, they play for something much bigger than themselves. They play for the girl who inspires them, for the girl who embodied strength, courage, and inspiration. They play for Heather, who was, and always will be, a part of Florida softball.

Thanks BallHawg10 I saw them playing in their regional and then noticed they were wearing them tonight and wondered if there was something behind it. Thank you for getting and sharing the article.

Very impressive game...gators played tough and didn't break...looking forward to seeing them play texas...wish Erickson still played for us, but she's had a really nice year for the gators.

Here is a bit of trivia, in case others don’t know… Oklahoma State head coach Kenny Gajewski and Florida head coach Tim Walton were teammates on Oklahoma baseball’s 1994 CWS national championship team.
Add to that Florida assistant Aric Thomas as well. He was a huge part of that 94 run.

Huge win for UF but those bats have to warm up. If they can beat Texas they have a great shot at getting to the championship series.

A little more info on Heather if anyone is interested.

They also have lots of t-shirts that have sunflowers. Sunflower Saturday is kind of a thing.
