Special report on the Florida Gators softball team:
Box Score GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The No. 2 University of Florida softball team opened the 2018 season with a 9-0 victory over Illinois State Friday afternoon at the USF Softball Stadium.
Senior Aleshia Ocasio combined with sophomore Katie Chronister and junior Kelly Barnhill in the circle to hurl the program’s 23rd combined one-hitter. The last time the Gators achieved the feat was Feb. 26, 2017 against Lehigh at the Diamond 9 Citrus Classic.
That was accomplished by the duo of Barnhill and former Gator Delanie Gourley.
Ocasio was in complete control against the Redbirds throughout her five innings of work.
