Big swings lift Gators over Bulldogs in SEC Tournament

A special report from the UAA on the Florida Gators softball team:

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – No.1-seed Florida rallied early Thursday afternoon to defeat No.9-seed Mississippi State, 6-2, to advance to the semifinal round of the SEC Softball Tournament at Rhoads Stadium. It’s the program’s 11th comeback win of the season.

The Gators (41-8) overcame the early 2-0 deficit via a pair of three-run home runs from Kendyl Lindaman (3-for-4) and Charla Echols (3-for-4) to defeat the Bulldogs (33-23). The program is now 4-0 against MSU this season as UF also picked up a three-game series sweep in Starkville, Miss.
