Florida softball looks to even things up in the second game of the Gainesville Super Regional against the Texas Tech Red Raiders on Saturday. You will want to watch this one, and we have everything you need to know in order to tune in via TV or live stream right below.
The Gators’ late-inning rally fell short on Friday, falling behind by six runs heading into the bottom of the fifth inning. Tim Walton’s team tied things up heading into the top of the ninth, but Florida could not keep the ball from flying over the fence, ultimately succumbing to their opponent, 10-8.
It was Texas Tech’s first-ever win over the Orange and Blue in five tries.
Kegan Rothrock will enter the circle for the Gators again, looking to force a third and final game on Sunday. If they cannot, then the 2026 campaign will come to an end before reaching the Women’s College World Series for the first time since 2023.

Florida vs. Texas Tech will be broadcast nationally on ABC on Saturday, May 23. Michele Smith, Beth Mowins, Jessica Mendoza and Holly Row will call the game at Katie Seashole Pressly Stadium. Streaming options for the game include Fubo, which offers a free trial to new subscribers.
