Florida softball falls in extra innings at Florida State: The top-ranked Gators dropped last night’s game to the second-ranked Seminoles, in what turned out to be the second longest game ever between the two programs (10.1 innings). FSU defeated UF, 3-1, after a walk-off home run by Alex Powers. That was the first home run allowed by Kelly Barnhill all season, and ended her scoreless innings streak at 51. In the loss, Barnhill set a Florida single game strikeout record (21) and pitched her longest game (10.1 innings). (Herb Brooks, Florida Gators; Pat Dooley, Gainesville Sun)
