SOFTBALL

The Florida Gators softball season will be remembered as a success, but one that came up just short of a fairy tale ending.

Of the eight teams to make it to the Womens' College World Series, the Florida Gators have the most all-time appearances there--11. But in the previous 10, Florida hosted their Super Regional. This year, they had to go on the road and win 2 of three in Blacksburg against Virginia Tech. Thursday evening, they'll begin their world series run against Oregon State.

The Florida Gators dominated Virginia Tech in a winner-take-all Super Regional game, advancing to the Women's College World Series with a 12-0 win on Sunday.

Thursday is a big day for Clay County high school softball as both Clay High and Middleburg High School will play in separate State Final Four games.

The team played a "Strike Out ALS" game this afternoon against Kennesaw State.

Florida State came within a game of winning the school's second NCAA softball tournament, but couldn't control the long ball hitters of Oklahoma, falling 5-1 in the decisive Game 3 of the Women's College World Series championship round.

In a game where Oklahoma set an NCAA record for home runs in a season, the Sooners used the longball to beat Florida State 6-2 and force a decisive game in the championship round of the Women's College World Series.

Florida State opened the best-of-three championship round at the Women's College World Series with a resounding win over No. 1 Oklahoma, leaving the Seminoles one win away from the school's second NCAA softball championship.

For the second time in 24 hours, Florida State knocked off Alabama to earn a spot in the championship round of the Women's College World Series in Oklahoma City, Okla.
