LSU softball had to come from behind and play an extra frame, but it did just enough to earn a 4-3 win on the road against Florida in Game 2 to even up the series heading into a decisive Game 3 on Monday night.
In another low-scoring game, LSU struck first with a pair of RBI doubles in the second and third innings from [autotag]Maci Bergeron[/autotag] and [autotag]Raeleen Guiterrez[/autotag], respectively. The Gators then retook the lead, adding runs in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings as the Tigers went to the top of the seventh in a do-or-die situation.
With two outs, Gutierrez came through again with another RBI double that tied the game, and [autotag]Sydney Berzon[/autotag] ultimately retired the side in order as we went to the eighth inning.
[autotag]Maddox McKee[/autotag] gave LSU the lead with a sac fly, and though that was all it managed, Berzon struck out three batters in a row in the bottom of the inning after giving up a leadoff single.
Now, the Tigers will look to secure a series win over a top-10 opponent on the road in Game 3, which is set for 6 p.m. CT on Monday night.
