It is do-or-die time for the Florida Gators on Saturday as they take on the Texas Tech Red Raiders in Game 2 of college softball’s Gainesville Super Regional at Katie Seashole Pressly Stadium. Follow along here for live updates and the score, along with highlights from the clay diamond action.
The Gators’ late-inning rally fell short on Friday, falling behind by six runs heading into the bottom of the fifth inning. Tim Walton’s team tied things up heading into the top of the ninth, but Florida could not keep the ball from flying over the fence, ultimately succumbing to their opponent, 10-8.
It was Texas Tech’s first-ever win over the Orange and Blue in five tries.
Kegan Rothrock will enter the circle for the Gators again, looking to force a third and final game on Sunday. If they cannot, then the 2026 campaign will come to an end before reaching the Women’s College World Series for the first time since 2023.
