Athens, Ga. – Senior Lauren Haeger set the Gator and Southeastern Conference career home run records as the No. 2-ranked University of Florida softball team clinched its fifth consecutive SEC series victory on Saturday with 8-4 and 4-3 victories against No. 11 Georgia at Jack Turner Stadium. Haeger earned the win with a complete-game effort in Game 1 to move to 20-0 on the year, while Aleshia Ocasio (15-3) worked six-plus innings before yielding to Delanie Gourley, earned her third save in the nightcap.

Florida put up four runs in the first inning of Game 1 on Haeger’s historic 65th career homer.
