Arkansas softball falls late against Florida – finale set for Sunday

A big sixth inning for the Gators broke things open.

Two outs, bases loaded. Games are won or lost in those moments.

For Arkansas on Saturday, the result was the latter.

The Hogs fell to Florida, 11-4, giving up six runs in the sixth inning, all of which came with two outs. The Gators’ win evened the series ahead of the finale from Bogle Park on Sunday.

The second biggest crowd in that park’s history watched Saturday. Hannah Camenzind gave up a single and allowed another base-runner to reach via error before striking out her next batter and inducing a flyout. But after another bean-ball, Florida loaded the bases.

Walk. Hit-by-pitch. Double. Single. Wild pitch. Walk.

Ball game.

Camenzind allowed five of the six runs, though none were earned.

Arkansas had taken a one-run lead in the second, 3-2, when Rylin Hedgecock was hit by a pitch. Florida then grabbed the lead for good in the fourth when Sarah Langley hit a three-run homer off Robyn Harron.

The teams are set to play the finale at noon.
